温泉の種類がたくさんで楽しめた。 バイキングでかにが食べれるなど、期待を超えた料理だった。

夕。朝食とも心がこもり、種類も多かったので、大満足でした。 ありがとうございました。 又、出かけます。

部屋から目的地までの距離があった。 カラオケが古かった。

Every things. Breakfast is very good.

We have to reserve and pay extra cost for family onsen room.

A very lovely traditional ryokan with very warm and helpful staff. Inaka predominately caters to Japanese tourist so while there are a few english signs and pamphlets around, other than very simple English words one may struggle to communicate with staff in detail. Breakfast is buffet style and dinner is prepared as a kiseki, both require prebooking. As it was off-season (plus post pandemic) during my visit a lot of local eateries around were also closed. Luckily there is a Family mart about a 10minute walk away in this small town where one can get some food and snacks to eat. The onsen was lovely and included both indoor and outdoor. One can also make bookings for a star gazing tour which is a feature of Achi which boasts spectacular night views given its location away from light pollution. There is also a small morning market selling food and other trinkets, best arrive early before 7:30am as things do sell out quick, especially the yummu locally made food.

It is indeed one of the Onsen Ryokan areas that is a little more out of the way to get to. There is, however, a limited direct bus providing decent views towards the end of the journey taking about two hours from Nagano Bus Center. If one wants to explore the Achi region then its a nice stay, otherwise the experience was not neccessarily worth going out of the way for.

Room was spacious. I loved the onsen as they had different baths for you to try such as the deeper pool so you can stand (120cm), the cypress wood tub or the outside pool open to the sky. There is also a foot bath with multiple pools. If stars are what you came for and do not wish to go on the star night tour, there is an observatory on site, although I don’t know if it’s open for a few. The breakfast buffet was an excellent spread of western and Japanese dishes.

The walls or floor seem a little thin as I could hear footsteps going across the ceiling!

Location is great.

Dinner is only buffet at a high price per person. No other options from the menu.

Good onsen
