Yokoya Onsen Ryokan

Nice hotel in Nagano

東山魁夷が描いた有名な緑響くのモデルになった「御射鹿池」をどうしても見たくてこの旅館を選びました。 新館に宿泊しましたが部屋の窓から眺める緑はまるで”みどり”のシャワーを浴びている感じでいつまでもいつまででも見ていて飽きませんでした。 パソコンを持ってきた事を後悔したほどです。 散歩に行けば、近くにある滝のしぶきを受けてマイナスイオンをたっぷりと吸えます。 「緑」とは「自然」とは、こんなにも心を癒してくれるものなのか。と深く実感しました。 またこちらの温泉の露天風呂は空気と触れると鉄分で濃い黄土色になるそうで、見るからにｗ身体に効きそうな感じでしたｗ 緑の木々の中での露天風呂は、近くに流れる清流の音を聞きながらゆっくりと入っていられます。 大きな露天風呂ですのでそこで知り合った方とお話するのも旅の醍醐味だと思いました。 この旅館で生まれて初めて「りんごの天ぷら」を食しました。 味は初めて食べましたのでよくわからないというのが感想です…（すみません…こんな感想で…）

We took a cheap day trip bus tour, had lunch near the inn, and then traveled to the inn by bus. Participants could choose to either stroll or take a bath. We walked to a nearby waterfall, but it was quite a distance to the next waterfall, so we turned back and hurriedly took a bath. I think this was my second time to take a brown hot spring containing iron, but the temperature was close to that of water, so it was cold, but my tour companions and I managed to take a bath. The beer after the bath was exceptional. I would like to come again.

We found a limited-time half-price plan online and stayed for 8,580 yen per person, and about 17,000 yen for a couple. I had been interested in staying here since I had read that NEXCO East's Dorawari benefit was half price, so I decided to stay there. Honestly, I didn't have high expectations at all since the price included 40 minutes of free private bathing, but...it took less than 30 minutes to get there from the Suwa Minami Interchange, which is faster than I expected, and on a nice road that wasn't too narrow. I was worried because it was along a valley, but it was no problem as it only narrowed for a moment before the inn. At check-in time, there were several sightseeing buses, which made me feel a bit uneasy, but I didn't have to worry about that, and they handled individual customers very smoothly. Check-in time is 3 o'clock, but everyone was able to arrive early. While waiting, you can get coffee etc. in the lobby next to the front desk, although it is self-serve. After checking in, write your name in the desired time column on the reservation form for the private bath. There are two baths, but they are actually right next to each other, so there doesn't seem to be much difference. I could see the cherry blossoms from the Tsuki private bath on the left side, which was great! ️When you enter the room, it feels very bare as it is very large at 15 tatami mats, but the beautiful valley view from the window makes you feel that way, and it has been renovated and is very comfortable. To be honest, the food was far from the photos on the homepage, and was average with not much flavor, but considering the price, it couldn't be helped, and I was grateful that they brought me some freshly fried tempura, which made it taste delicious. Best of all, even when I was with a group of people at the venue, I was able to enjoy my meal slowly and without any hesitation, and the tables were not too close together. It was so good that I made a reservation and planned to come again with my parents, but due to illness, I contacted them just after 9:00 the night before the cancellation fee was due, but they were very accommodating, and I was very happy with the overall experience. I felt the warmth of the inn. I would like to visit again if I can stay there for 10,000 yen. There are concerts in the lobby in the evenings, and if the weather is nice, there's a promenade on the back mountain, so you can enjoy a lot of fun at this cost-effective hotel. However, although it is a promenade, it is not very well maintained, so be careful! ️ Otome Falls in the opposite direction of the back mountain can be reached in about 10 minutes and was surprisingly impressive! ️Finally, I couldn't go because the weather wasn't so good, but it's close to Mishaka Pond in Chino City, which is a must-see for people who take landscape photos, so I highly recommend it! ️

I stayed here as a solo traveler using the travel support discount. This hot spring inn is known for its brown, cloudy hot water that contains iron, but in addition to an indoor bath and an open-air bath, there are also two private baths that guests can use free of charge by reservation. At night, I took a leisurely soak in the indoor and outdoor baths, and in the early morning I took a relaxing private bath. The spring quality is simple iron cold mineral spring. The source water is transparent, but the iron content oxidizes and turns brown over time as it comes into contact with the air. The open-air bath in the morning was a clear hot spring with a slight bluish tinge due to the fresh water. There was a concert in the lobby that night. This is a hot spring inn where you can spend a relaxing time.

The only good thing was the hot water. Other than that, there was nothing good about it, and it was one of the worst hot spring inns I've ever stayed at. First of all, when I entered the building after 3:00 pm, the lobby was crowded with people waiting to check in. Even though the number of reservations for the day would have been known from the beginning, we did not set up any temporary counters and handled them at only two counters. There was no place to sit and there were so many people standing around with large luggage, but I didn't even bother bringing chairs. In the end, I ended up standing in the lobby for almost an hour until I was able to check in. The facilities in the hotel, including the rooms, are not particularly tasteful; they are just old-fashioned. It was cold throughout the area, and the air conditioner in the room was not very effective. The only good thing about the bath is the hot water, and as you might imagine, the shower itself doesn't come out with a proper force. The food was particularly bad. I didn't have high expectations for quality or quality as I had read reviews, but for some reason both the pot and the ceramic grill were lit at the same time, so it was horribly hectic, which made the already meager menu even worse. To the situation. Also, it was really frustrating that the rice itself was hard and cold both at night and in the morning. The response from the employees itself was at a passable level (I'm not saying it was a good thing to be "safe" after all), but there was an overwhelming sense of a lack of manpower, and the situation was chaotic from beginning to end. However, I think this is a management issue rather than the employee's fault. Anyway, this is the first time I've stayed at an inn that was of such a poor quality that I couldn't consistently praise anything.

I used a room for 3 nights at a reasonable price during the peak of autumn leaves. 10 tatami mats with no view due to construction, Tateshina beef steak included for dinner. Of course, a lobby concert and a 40-minute private bath are included. However, the room on the top floor was completed with only scaffolding left, and the cliff and autumn leaves could be seen. Moreover, the travel support was applied, and when the coupon was included, it was an unbelievable price of 600 yen per person for one night and two meals. In the morning, the outside air got colder than 0 degrees, but the inside was cold, probably because of energy conservation. It was a pity that if the room temperature was raised a little more, I would not have to spend the time wrapped in a futon.

Hot springs are the best. Since it was an old building, there was no elevator and it was difficult to carry luggage. I stayed there during a three-day weekend in July, so I felt it was a bit expensive considering the service and quality. I felt sorry for my companion who had a disability. The food was also average and didn't taste very good.

This inn offers free private baths, but there are only two private baths, so only guests who check in early can use them.
