"Everything was perfect . Amazingly friendly snd helpful staff"

Shibu Onsen KOKUYA

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay here was amazing. The onsens were relaxing and beautiful, but the staff is what made our stay one of our favorite places while in Japan. Everyone went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at home."

Kusatsu Onsen Hotel Sakurai

10/10 Excellent

"There are two onsen baths; one inside and one outside. The water in the open bath makes your silk feel silky and smooth. The buffet breakfast and dinner are of good quality with many varieties. The night shows are good entertainment at the hotel. We had a relaxing stay at the hotel."

Hotel JAL City Nagano

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location, clean room, helpful staff that also spoke English. I would highly consider looking for this brand when going to another hotel in the future."

Kanbayashi Hotel Senjukaku

10/10 Excellent

"This is our second time staying here. We come to Japan every few years because my wife loves the snow monkeys. The staff here was very helpful and communicated clearly. They'll arrange shuttle pickup from the Yadanaka local station because it can be hard to find of you're not familiar with the area. You really should get the half board and do traditional Japanese breakfast and breakfast. It is a peaceful and intimate look into traditional Japan. You can see the pride taken in the work. We will stay here every time we come to Japan."

Hotel Hoshikawakan

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed the dinner meal even though I made a rookie hot pot mistake."

KAMENOI HOTEL KUSATSU YUBATAKE

8/10 Good

"Rooms are plain but clean. Excellent buffet food value. Nice common facilities."

Rakuten STAY VILLA Kusatsu Onsen

10/10 Excellent

"Great venue and facilities."

Shimaya

10/10 Excellent

"While this is an older hotel, it is clean, things are in working order, and rather charming and unique. For example, I had a large room with a small patio that offered a beautiful view of the city. It’s in a quaint quiet town with gorgeous views of the mountains surrounding the town. I appreciated the thoughtful touch of hot green tea. The thermos amazingly kept the water hot even till the next morning. Because I went during « low » season in May, I was able to enjoy the onsen to myself ! The host/owner is a sweet man. It is rather expensive for one night but I did not regret my stay. I did get plenty of exercise being on the fourth floor with no elevator."
