Hotel Goryukan

Stayed on September 26th. The pH level of the hot spring is said to be the highest in Japan at 11.38, so I immediately tried the bath with high expectations. The water was incredibly smooth and silky! The outdoor bath was also well-maintained, making it a very pleasant experience. The meals were delicious and served in generous portions—so much so that I could only manage to eat the apple for dessert. As expected from Nagano, the apples were absolutely amazing! At breakfast, I asked a staff member about whether the white on the mountains we could see was snow or not, and they kindly explained everything in detail. Although some staff seemed to be from overseas, both male and female members worked hard and left a great impression with their friendliness. Wishing them all the best! I’d love to return for that incredible hot spring experience again, but it’s quite far... Still, it was a one-night stay that truly allowed me to forget daily life. Thank you very much!

The buffet-style meals featured a variety of dishes made with local ingredients, and both the appetizers and main courses were incredibly delicious—I ended up eating too much. I thoroughly enjoyed both dinner and breakfast at a relaxed pace. The Onsen and the self-service sauna with löyly were excellent. The Room was simple, clean, and had everything I needed. I appreciated being able to charge my electric vehicle as well. All the staff members were very friendly and welcoming. The satisfaction at this price is outstanding; I would love to stay here again!
