Matsumotoro

My first time at Ikaho Onsen. I was looking forward to it. I spent quite a bit of time in the open-air hot spring bath in my room and the large public bath, but I guess it wasn't that impressive💦 My top three are Gero, Beppu and Noboribetsu~ The view was great. The sense of openness was amazing. The room with sauna was spacious, as expected of a suite. We enjoyed a lot of local produce at dinner and breakfast. I also found the book on Ryokan Koshien very interesting. The lounge was a bit disappointing. It would have been even better if there were drinks available between check-in and dinner → I've been into all-inclusive lately lol I also had a good impression of the staff. Thank you for your help.

The room was not cleaned, and even when the staff checked, they just laughed. There was dust on the light, and when I turned on the air conditioner, the dust flew around. It was hot, so I had to sleep with the window open. I was charged a full fee. I would not recommend Matsumotoro to my friends who are going to Ikaho Onsen.

Hotel Matsumotoro is a long-established inn located on the side of the road heading east on the main street, about 4 to 500 meters from the entrance of Ishidangai, which can be said to be the center of Ikaho Onsen. There is a footbath next to the entrance, and there is a large lobby when you go through the entrance. The hot springs at this hotel were the best. You can enjoy both the ``Golden Hot Spring'' and ``Shiragane Hot Spring'' gushing out of Ikaho Onsen. There was an observation open-air professional on the 8th floor. From there, you could see a spectacular view of the cityscape of Ikaho Onsen and the mountains beyond.

Our first night at Ikaho Onsen was at Hotel Matsumotoro. Matsumotoro was built on the east side of the road in the hot spring town of Ikaho Onsen. The site was full in front of the building and entrance, so I was directed to a parking lot a little further away. There aren't that many rooms, but the public spaces are spacious, so I was able to spend a very comfortable time there. There was a footbath next to the entrance, but since it was right next to the entrance and by the road, it didn't seem like it would be very relaxing, but the hot springs on the 2nd and 8th floors were comfortable. did. Each hot spring has two types of hot springs, ``Kogane-no-Yu'' and ``Shirogane-no-Yu'' from Ikaho Onsen. In particular, from the open-air bath on the 8th floor, you could see the mountains in the distance and the city lights of Ikaho's hot spring town. Additionally, the public baths on the 2nd and 8th floors are open for men and women, so you can enjoy different hot springs at night and in the morning.

It was my first time staying there. I was very happy with the staff's careful attention to detail, and I enjoyed my stay in a homely atmosphere. When I returned from going out, I was greeted at the front door and it felt like I had come home. The room had been renovated and was very clean and I felt relaxed in the Japanese style room. Both the breakfast and dinner were delicious and a soothing meal for everyday life. If I had to pick a dish, the pork soup for breakfast was so delicious that I ended up having to refill it several times. It was an impressive hotel that I would like to stay at again and again.

Used for day trip bathing. I arrived on Saturday afternoon. Men's and women's bathrooms change depending on the time of day, and men who are day visitors have an open-air bath with a great view on the 8th floor. Golden hot water and silver hot water. The brown golden hot water is especially recommended. There were hardly any customers, so I was able to spend 90 minutes at a leisurely pace.
