Hotel Analysis

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.
