Kishigon Ryokan Reviews

The service staff is very friendly, the environment is very clean, the shared bath is very comfortable and clean, and the breakfast is super rich

The room facilities and hot spring facilities are good, but as a long-established Japanese hotel, maybe because the hotel has grown bigger, the staff are far less warm and friendly than the staff of small Japanese hotels, which is regrettable.

Although the hotel is old, the service environment and facilities can keep up

The hot spring is first-rate. The room has an ancient style.

地理位置很好，就是入住有點緊張，房間略有味道，還有酒店空調有水聲很響，其他都不錯。

Sleep: Had a Japanese style room with futons laid out. Futons were thin, they felt like worn thin foam mattresses that sagged in the middle. Pillows are flat and offers no support. Yukata smelt like mushrooms but smell went away after airing for a while. Onsen: there are 3 onsens. One without any windows and a small pool, one within the hotel block with both indoor and outdoor pools, and one outside the hotel, across the driveway with outdoor views. All are accessible to guests. There is also a private bath for rent. Food: Buffet breakfast was a good spread Overall: for the money I paid (22500 yen), i felt this was rather expensive. If i had stayed outside Idaho onsen itself, i might have been able to save more.

With its location along the famous stone stairs and its access to abundant "golden hot spring water", one can easily tell this is a long-established hotel in Ikaho. And this is the reason for my choosing to stay here since it is not easy to find onsen hotels that offer "natural flowing water" nowadays (onsen water will be "recycled" in many hotels). If one's purpose for coming to Ikaho is for their good water, Kishigo will be a good choice because they have three hot spring baths, and I particularly like the one detached from the main building, i.e. Open-Air Bath Gonzaemon no Yu. I got a Western style room with view of the stone stairs, nothing fancy, but I do not mind. As a solo traveller, I was not given the choice of dining at the hotel when making the booking. It worried me a bit at first since I always enjoy having traditional Japanese dinner in onsen hotels; and with this being my first visit to Ikaho, I did not even know if there is any restaurant in the area (shops in most onsen towns close at 5pm or earlier). It worked out all right in the end for there are restaurants, and I went to one that is just a minute's walk from the hotel. Dining out also meant I had more flexibility in spending time on a stroll around the area and relaxing in the hot springs.

We enjoyed several hot springs with excellent quality, including the large public bath, the open-air bath, and the open-air bath in the annex. The temperature felt a little hot at first, but once you got used to it, it felt just right, and it was good for a child's first hot spring. The women's bath had more amenities than the men's, and the quality of the hair dryers was better, so it seems to be more enjoyable for women. The staff were friendly to both Japanese and foreigners, and they lent us a foot towel when we used the foot bath after checking out, which was helpful. The room was a Japanese-style room that was more than enough for three people. There were many items for dinner, but the overall volume was small. The main target may be an older age group. Breakfast was a buffet, and we could choose from a variety of things we liked, which was nice.

On the first day of our stay at Ikaho Onsen, we stayed at a long-established inn at the top of the mountain. We were so impressed with the quality of the spring water at Ikaho Onsen that we stayed at the neighboring Kishigon Ryokan on the second day. As this is the oldest inn, the atmosphere is felt throughout the building. We felt it was a luxury to be able to hop between the baths, each with its own unique atmosphere, within the building. The food was excellent, the room was also excellent, and we were able to enjoy Ikaho at our leisure. The famous stone steps were right in front of us, giving us a taste of Ikaho. We could see Mount Akagi in the distance.

For an additional fee of 2,750 yen, we took a private bath as a family of four. I felt very rich. Mom and I were the first to take a bath together. Then my eldest son and second son joined us. It was very good. I parked my car at the 4th parking lot near Ikaho Elementary School. When I called the inn about parking, a shuttle came right away. The shuttle car climbed a winding uphill slope and arrived at the entrance of the inn from what looked like a secret base. It was almost time to take a private bath, so after checking in, I went straight to my room and took a private bath. There were some foreign staff members, but all of them were kind and polite. It goes well with Mataemon no Yu (3pm to 10am the next morning), so I went there three times. The first time I took a private bath, I took a total of 4 baths. The accommodation plan is [Standard at Kishigon Ryokan] <Shiki-zen> where you can taste local Gunma beef in season. The evening meal is beef shikimae. We had a buffet in the morning, and both dishes were delicious. As soon as you leave the inn, there is a staircase street. After I finished eating around 8am, I went out to see how many people were lining up at the udon restaurant I was looking for (Osawa-ya). After that, my two sons and I went down to the start of the 365-step staircase, climbed the stairs to the top, Ikaho Shrine, paid a visit to Ikaho Shrine, and then returned home. Although it was Monday, a public holiday, some shooting shops and other shops were open around 8am. Tourists were also starting to arrive. I want to go again.

伊香保の滞在は必ずこちらのお宿。いずれも「赤城側榛名側二つの眺め」の和室12帖へ宿泊させていただいております。やっぱり¨黄金の湯¨を源泉で引いているところが一番の魅力ですね。大浴場の¨又左衛門の湯¨、展望露天風呂の¨六左衛門の湯¨、離れ露天風呂の¨権左衛門の湯¨がメインどころ。ちなみに私は展望露天風呂が一番好きです。他には貸切露天風呂が何箇所かあります。なお、館内少々複雑な構造をしていますので、初めて展望露天風呂とか行く方は迷われるかもしれません。外国人スタッフも多いのですが、接客もよろしいですし、食事もきちんと配膳されますので、問題ないかと思います。旅館は高台にありますので眺めは良いですよ。

台風で天気が良く無い時に宿泊しました。客室は谷川岳が本来目の前に広がる 筈でしたがガスに覆われ残念。 温泉は掛け流しの金の湯。300Ｌ／毎分の湯量。赤茶の温泉で体あったまります。食事も美味しくゆっくり楽しめます。

Excelente! Utilizamos una habitación con tatami y futones. Además, disfrutamos los baños termales onsen... son varios los que tienen en las instalaciones. Todo muy cuidado, limpio, agradable. La cena y el desayuno de 10!!

Era la primera vez que dormíamos en un ryokan y la verdad es que dormimos muy bien. El hotel tenía onsen y seleccionamos uno individual. En este caso la bañera era muy mejorable pero el común estaba muy bien. El hotel ofrecía kimonos y calzado con pinzas para indicar el número de habitación. En general, muy recomentable
