Find the Cheap Chikuma Hotels

Our family of five, spanning three generations, had a truly wonderful stay at this charming ryokan hosted by the warm and welcoming Tyler and Mari-san. From the moment we arrived, we felt at home thanks to their genuine hospitality. Tyler and Mari-san shared invaluable information about the town and local attractions, making it easy for us to plan our days. A lovely, personalized touch was seeing our name displayed outside the ryokan—such a thoughtful welcome! The meals were nothing short of spectacular. The traditional Japanese breakfast and dinner were a culinary delight, filled with exquisite and beautifully presented dishes. We especially loved the walking tour Tyler-san led through the Kamiyamada Onsen town. It was an unique experience getting to meet local shop owners, sample delicious treats like green tea and manju, and learn about the area’s history and culture. Every morning, Tyler-san generously drove us to Togura Station, making our outings stress-free. On our final evening, which happened to be a Sunday, the ryokan was bustling with families, and Tyler-san hosted a popcorn party that thrilled the kids—a perfect end to our stay. Thank you to Tyler and Mari-san for making our visit so memorable and comfortable. We look forward to returning to this cozy haven for more unforgettable memories!

Visited on a hot spring tour while staying at an affiliated hotel. This is an evaluation for hot springs only. This hot spring is quite nice. The hot spring water flows directly into the bathtub, which is smaller than the size of the inn. It's not a cycle. The bath feels good too. You can use a massage machine after taking a bath.

I went to Togura Kamiyamada Onsen for the first time. I expected it to be a more desolate area, but it wasn't. There are many hot spring inns and hotels, but there's also a large hospital and a bakery packed with customers, so it didn't feel like there was anything else to do but hot springs. Yuyama-san was a small hot spring hotel that seemed to be hidden in a residential area. There was a Wi-Fi signal on the first floor, but it did not reach the room. There was an air purifier and refrigerator in the room. The bath had bright yellow-green water that looked like it had been filled with bath salts, and it smelled like sulfur. I was allowed to come in even late at night, except during cleaning time. The bathtub is deep enough that you can soak up to your shoulders. This hot spring is heated using a circulation system. I didn't notice it, but it said that chlorine was used for disinfection. There were several affiliated hot spring hotels within walking distance, and we were able to visit the hot springs. Other affiliated hotels had hot springs with flowing water. In the changing room, there was a poster posted at Yuzan Karaoke Box (11:00-16:00) where lunchtime karaoke and hot springs are available for up to 5 hours for 1000 yen per person. Apparently there's table tennis too. Looks like you'll have fun whether you're staying here or taking a day trip.
