Hotel Analysis
Based on 3 sites · 252 reviews
A 3-star hotel in Shibukawa's Ikaho Onsen area with a vintage feel. Reviews commonly note the aged building and facilities, but praise the staff's kindness and satisfying meals.
Across booking sites, guests repeatedly mention delicious and hearty dinners like shabu-shabu or charcoal-grilled courses. The hot spring baths, especially the open-air ones, are comfortable and relaxing. Staff respond quickly to requests, like providing a heater for broken room heating or sharing snow info.
Some reviews express disappointment with the retro smell, outdated common toilets, limited parking, and inconvenient location.
Suits travelers who appreciate old-school onsen charm. Great for families or groups enjoying meals and baths leisurely.
