สถานีรถไฟทาซาวะ × บ่อน้ำพุร้อน × โรงแรม·เรียวกังที่ได้รับการจัดอันดับสูง

Staying away from home can feel different from everyday life, and it’s not uncommon to end up tense, unable to relax, and even more tired than usual. But at Shoraiso, that never happened—I could truly unwind whether I was in my Room or in the lounge (I slept soundly even with a different pillow). I think it’s because of the comfortable sense of distance and the welcoming atmosphere created by everyone on staff and by Shoraiso as a whole. Everything was wonderful: the Room, the Onsen, the meals (especially the delicious broth in the clear soup), and the lounge. Next time as well, I’d like to stop by Obuse first and then visit Shoraiso again. It was a truly enjoyable trip—thank you very much.

This year, as my father retired and we had more time, we planned a family trip. It was our first time visiting Yudanaka Onsen, and from the moment we arrived at the parking lot, our expectations were high. While unloading our luggage without even calling for assistance, the staff came out to guide us. I immediately felt that this might be an excellent accommodation choice. The view of the Shinshu Five Peaks from our room on the 4th floor was stunning, and having two toilets and sinks in the room was a pleasant surprise. Above all, the staff's hospitality and meals were outstanding. The staff spoke calmly yet provided clear explanations and promptly answered any questions about food or sightseeing—it was truly impressive. The meals were so delicious that every family member said they wanted to eat them again! From Shinshu beef to Shinshu salmon, everything was perfectly prepared. Even small dishes like dressings or sauces had exquisite flavors! The balance of flavors in dishes like sweet vinegar sauce or pickled items left us amazed at how delicious they could be when done right. For our family, everything about this stay was perfect. We will definitely return again—thank you very much!

I stayed during the New Year. With only a few rooms, I was able to enjoy a calm and relaxing time, feeling as if I had returned to my family home. The hospitality of the hostess and staff was wonderful, and when I mentioned that I was undergoing dental treatment, they kindly adjusted the meals to make them easier to eat. It is an accommodation I would love to visit again.

The service was just right for me—not over the top, not overly elaborate, and not trying too hard to be different. I stayed for a Multiple Night Stay, and I was pleasantly surprised that the meals on the second day were even better. Rather than simply being “upgraded,” they really showcased the careful, delicate qualities of kaiseki cuisine. The Momoyama bath is truly impressive. You can take photos during a short time in the morning, and there’s also an explanatory tour by the staff, which I enjoyed. Soaking slowly in the clear Onsen with its high alkalinity helped me relax deeply, and I felt refreshed both physically and mentally.

We stayed for the Onsen and the meals. Just before closing time, we ran and hiked a long way up the mountain to see the snow monkeys in Jigokudani, and we were exhausted—so the Onsen truly soothed us. The water was soft, gentle, and comfortable enough to stay in for a long time. The furnishings were tasteful and lovely as well. The Room wasn’t large, but it was clean, very practical, and well equipped with items such as bathrobes. We also really enjoyed the food. The creative touch of something like a moving sushi cart was fun, but more than that, every dish itself was genuinely delicious and impressive. Two things were disappointing. First, the timing of serving the dishes was far too fast—the entire course was served within about an hour. Even though everything tasted wonderful, it cooled down quickly, which felt like such a waste. I understand this may be due to operational reasons, but this part was hard to accept. We also ordered wine and sake pairings, but they were brought out all at once. This may be unavoidable as well, but I would have appreciated more consideration—for example, keeping certain drinks chilled. Despite those two concerns, overall it was overwhelmingly excellent. It’s an Accommodation I would love to stay at again. Thank you very much.

The parking lot was spacious and convenient. The Room was clean and functional! The only slight dissatisfaction was the lack of a nearby convenience store, but while exploring, I found a yakiniku restaurant and enjoyed a delicious dinner. I appreciated the staff's thoughtful gestures, such as the handmade map.

Everyone at the Accommodation was very kind, and I had a wonderful stay.

Thank you very much for your hospitality. The Onsen and meals were excellent. We stayed as a family of five and had a wonderful time. The staff were very friendly, making our stay pleasant. We would love to visit again. This is a highly satisfying Ryokan!

For an affordable Hotel like this, the buffet was very satisfying. The bath was also great. The private family bath is free, though it can only be used once for 30 minutes, and the Room was spacious—overall, the value for money is outstanding. The toilet is basic, so I’d like to see it renovated. In terms of value for money, I have no complaints—5/5 overall.

Stayed overnight after skiing at Shiga Kogen After check-in, straight to the open-air bath! Then draft beer at the all-you-can-drink corner. There were snacks too—the mixed nuts were delicious. Dinner buffet featured teppanyaki beef, with red wine, and plenty of other options. Breakfast was tasty as well. If I didn’t have to drive, I’d have enjoyed the all-you-can-drink from the morning too (lol). The building is old, but they’ve clearly worked hard on renovations. The woman at reception also made a great impression. It’s a shame that the dead grass seen from the road makes it look a bit like an abandoned place. I’ll be back.

The location is convenient, being relatively close to the station even if you come by car. The room felt like a renovated apartment and had a clean atmosphere. The Onsen with natural hot spring water was enjoyable, offering hotter baths for those who prefer them, and the sauna was sufficient despite closing at 9 PM. It was a No Meals Included stay, but the izakaya in the same building offered affordable prices with satisfying options like game meat dishes, snacks, and drinks. For breakfast, bread and coffee were available; you could even take it to go in its packaging if you're in a hurry and eat it in your car. While there were minor issues such as weak WIFI connection, an older building structure, or no water dispenser available—these are small concerns considering the quality provided at this price point. If you're looking for more luxurious services, paying accordingly would be necessary; however, I personally would love to stay here again!

This Onsen was perfect for us, as we prefer mildly warm water. Some Reviews mentioned it gets crowded with day-trip visitors, but perhaps due to the season, it wasn’t too busy. We relaxed in the open-air bath with its milky-white Onsen water. The meals were also excellent, featuring creative dishes such as simmered stir-fried Japanese spikenard, deep-fried char with black vinegar sauce, and maitake mushroom rice. It’s an Onsen we’d love to visit again.

I stayed here during the Obuse Marathon. Despite my early departure, they kindly prepared rice balls and tea for me, which I greatly appreciated. The warm smiles when welcoming and sending me off made for a wonderful stay.

The ski slope is immediately to the left as soon as you step out the entrance, so it was great that we could change into our gear in the Room and head straight out. The Onsen was also relaxing and enjoyable. The staff were wonderful—everyone was smiling and kindly answered our questions. The building is old, but it was clean and didn’t bother us. It snowed until early morning, then cleared up around 9 a.m., giving us perfect conditions.

Both dinner and breakfast were very delicious. The dishes were also wonderful! We enjoyed them at a leisurely pace. The bath had a retro and nostalgic feel. The cave bath was lovely. The staff were kind, and we had a pleasant stay. I definitely want to visit again. Thank you for taking care of us.

This time, I used the accommodation only for an overnight stay during my trip back home. I stayed in the same room with my son's family, and the room was spacious and could be divided into Japanese-style and Western-style areas, which was very convenient. Since the outdoor bath is open only until 10 PM, it can feel a bit rushed if you check in late! It would be even more convenient if the hotel's shop were available for use.
