Hotels Near Mizusawa-dera Temple (Mizusawa Kannon) in Shibukawa

While visiting Ikaho in 2019, I saw 福一 while walking the stone steps. The unmaintained, unkempt external of the building and the bags of trash littered around the building were enough to make my visceral reaction be one of… I’m glad I’m not staying there. Unfortunately, while visiting more recently, the ryokan I’d stayed at previously was fully booked. I happened upon 福一’s website and didn’t realize that it was the same ryokan that had made me internally shudder. The website makes you believe this ryokan will be updated and beautiful. Don’t be fooled like me. The ryokan was old and dirty inside. I’ve stayed at many ryokans and I don’t mind old buildings and fixtures, furniture, etc. Old can be beautifully-maintained and clean. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case here. Carpets in common areas were horribly stained. Parts of wooden fixtures were peeling off. There was mold in the sink in our bathroom. The bathroom trash can was literally a yellow bucket that has not been cleaned of stains in quite a while. There was mold covering the soap dispenser in our room. The room I booked was called the “Modern Japanese room”. Superficial things in the room had been updated (like the wallpaper) but the sink, shower, bathtub, etc were obviously from when the ryokan opened. The food was disappointing as well. It’d obviously been cooked in huge batches beforehand and was just sitting around for awhile prior to being served. The rice in the 炊き込みご飯 at the end of the meal was cold and hard. Anyone who is familiar with rice would know it’d obviously been cooked well before and had been left out for awhile. The breakfast buffet had plenty of variety but the quality of the food was poor. All in all, quite bad cost performance. While this ryokan charges the same price as other ryokans in the area, the quality of the room and the facilities and the quality of the food really don’t live up to the price point. I couldn’t wait to leave 福一.

A long-established hot spring inn near the stone steps of Ikaho Onsen. It has a reputation for warm hospitality. The characteristic is that there are two entrances, and you can enter from the stone steps side as well as the usual entrance. In many inns, there are many movements in the building with slippers, but since the whole building is tatami mats, you can walk barefoot in the building. The food was delicious and the amount was appropriate. The bathhouse was also large enough to relax. On the other hand, although it is a family saying because it is a good inn, there were some staff who were still developing in their behavior. I would like to expect that I will grow up as a good staff with good teaching from my predecessors. There was also a machine in the room for massage of my feet. I think the massage machine after the bath is cleaned frequently, but I was a little worried about the sanitary condition of the machine in the room. Because it is a thankful consideration, I think that it was able to use it more comfortably if there was a display such as ”cleaned”.

Oedo Onsen Monogatari Ikaho is a hotel located in Ikaho, Ikaho Town, Shibukawa City, Gunma Prefecture. Ikaho Onsen is a hot spring located in Ikaho Town, Shibukawa City, Gunma Prefecture. It is a historical hot spring resort that appears in Manyoshu, and is said to have been maintained by Masayuki Sanada. Ikaho Onsen is said to be the birthplace of hot spring manju. On October 5, 2021, I climbed Mt. Akagi on this day. From there, we drove to Oedo Onsen Monogatari Ikaho. The parking lot is very large. Go straight through the door. It seems that they also take a day trip bath. store. There was a table tennis table. I will be staying in room 306 on the 3rd floor. I can't open the lock all the time. The refrigerator at the entrance is large. Wash basin. I'm going to the public bath, so I probably won't use it, but there's also a bathtub. The toilet has a warm water seat. The 10-tatami Japanese-style room is already covered with futons, which is unique to Oedo Onsen Monogatari. The view from the window is like this (bitter smile) TV and safe. I went to the hot springs right away. There were two types of hot springs: iron springs and colorless and transparent hot springs. Kogane no Yu is a sulfate spring. Shirogane no Yu is a simple hot spring containing a large amount of metasilicic acid. There was also a bedrock bath, so I slowly entered for about 30 minutes. This day is an all-you-can-drink plan, so refrain from beer time in the room (laughs). It's 5:30, so I'm moving to the dinner hall. I thought I was the first one, but I was waiting for my turn (sweat;) Buffet style. (laughs) After the beer, I ordered a sake called Seitoku. The next morning, at 7:15, I headed to the breakfast venue. Breakfast is also a buffet. I checked out in the morning (laughs) and moved on.

It was here that I suddenly needed to stay in this area for consecutive holidays, and it was vacant. I could only book a smoking room for one of the two nights, but the smell of the room was quite strong for non-smokers. It may be that only heavy smokers usually stay. If you do not smoke, it is safer to exclude smoking rooms from consideration. The site is along the national highway, and it takes a little over 30 minutes to get to the Tsukiyono Interchange on the lower road. Families with snowboards were also staying. Of course, there is no such thing as a drying room. There are Lawson and 7-Eleven within walking distance, so you don't have to worry about shopping. I couldn't find any kind of restaurants nearby. It seems that you can eat something simple at night at the breakfast restaurant in the hotel. The large public bath is a rather small size with four washing areas. It is not a fine public bath like the latest route inn. Free breakfast is usual route in quality. The breakfast bread and juice they use are the same ones you see anywhere in the country. There is no particular problem with the hotel's customer service. The parking lot has a lot of sections, but it felt cramped compared to the latest route-in. It is a hotel that can be used in various ways, not just for business purposes.

The number of free services 々 is free content but more grateful than nothing. There are many female staff and soft impressions. Above all, I felt a pleasant hospitality. It is said that the pillow developed jointly with the manufacturer is a sleeping point, and the applicant also lends foot pillows. I later learned that there is a discount ticket for the nearby hot spring facilities. I am glad that you can see that. I only got a double room because it was a hurry reservation the day before. Even if it is a double, is it basically a single bed with a semi double bed? Most of this type of room seems to have only enough twins to count. The price for two people was not very different, and the twin of two large beds was good, but ‥ may not be easy. I feel that the sound and voice from other rooms were heard to some extent in the room and in the corridor.

1. Bedroom: The room itself is decently spacious. All clean and well-maintained. 2. Bathroom: Cleanliness is top-notch. Three big bottles of bodywash liquid, shampoo and conditioner are provided 3. Wifi: Excellent 4. Location: Lawson and Maebashi station is just 5 mins walk. 5. Parking: the hotel has a limited car park space. If the carpark’s full, you will be directed to park at Aquerus building, just next to Maebashi station. You get to pay 600 ¥ per night at Aquerus. 6. Things to know: Despite the fact that it looks like a three-star basic hotel, don’t let that fool you. The hotel offered lots of freebies. You can eat a complimentary ramen from 22:00-24:00. You also can take complimentary ice creams and probiotic drinks (opened at certain time period) in front of bathing facilities. There’s an onsen facility if you want to have a nice relaxing hot bath. Don’t expect the hotel staff to speak fluent English here, though.

I stayed in Takasaki after a long time and chose Metropolitan Takasaki at that time. When I stayed before, I remember staying in a large room with a low accommodation fee, but this time all rooms were set to have a high accommodation fee. The atmosphere of the lobby and the room remained the same as before, but the room is a standard single room with breakfast and ¥ 12,800 is expensive. However, I felt a feeling of cleanliness, and I was able to spend a relaxing time with an air purifier.

Just opposite the Yamada Electric Appliance outside Gaoqi Station, there is a land bridge that can be crossed without crossing the road. The price of the house is also attached to breakfast. It is very recommended to take the North Lu Shinkansen, Shangyue Shinkansen, my wife line and so on to the light well, Tangze, Xinyi, Caojin and other places. Avoid expensive accommodations in resorts and don't have to pull luggage frequently to change hotels. Suitable for JR pass travelers.

Takasaki trip ２ day. Originally I was going to return at １ nights, but I was in poor health on that day and I stayed at １ nights. I stayed at the Toyoko Inn chain for the first time. First of all, it was good to return to the front desk staff at the time of bad **. I came by car again, but I introduced the hotel, the affiliated parking lot and stopped at the parking lot opposite, but I couldn't convince it was higher than the hotel. I think the same fee is the basic for the affiliated parking lot. The room is a feeling of making the Showa look more like Dommy Inn. I thought it was a happy service that breakfast was served with service. I don't know if the front desk staff is busy with the phone response, but I thanked and gestured with my left hand while calling. I arrived on the way back to the stone stone and thought I would never come to this hotel again. At the end, I was able to travel to Gunma.

New hotel. Excellent location, centrally located. The decor is elegant. The room is spacious and has windows that can be opened. The large bed is comfortable. There are indoor hot springs on ground floor, but no outdoor hot springs. Large parking lot, parking is very convenient. Staff service is top notch. Breakfast is average but enough.
