Tokinoniwa Hotel - Kusatsu (Gunma)

We were able to relax in our own space after a day of exploring.

The hotel's shuttle service to town runs infrequently, and it can be quite crowded, so be sure to plan your trips accordingly as we faced a long wait.

Fine open-air onsen bath in the room.

While the onsen experience was enjoyable, I found the hotel itself quite dated. The decor showed considerable wear and tear, disappointing. The staff's level of service varied. I often felt overlooked during interactions that required English communication.

relaxing, relaxing, relaxing

The open-air baths were an absolute haven for relaxation, offering amazing views that enhanced the experience. I was thrilled by the abundance of amenities in my Superior Twin Room, including complimentary drinks and snacks, made unwinding more fun. The lounge area was a perfect spot to sip on some warm tea after soaking in the tranquil atmosphere.

totally recommend ❤️🌟

The private onsen in our room was perfect after a long day at the nearby Kusatsu International Ski Place. We loved the beautiful garden and the free coffee and tea available. The vibe was super relaxing, and the staff were friendly. Don't miss out on the outdoor reserved onsens!

One downside was that the shuttle service to the main area ran infrequently, which could lead to longer waits, especially if you're planning on exploring more than just the ryokan.

Just a prime choice for a weekend pause in Kusatsu (Gunma) with fantastic value for money. Enjoyed the beautiful Japanese style garden while sipping on free coffee and tea after the onsen. Make sure to manage the shuttle bus schedule to avoid long waits during peak times.

embrace tranquility with a private onsen experience and attentive staff service

Really good views from the room, and the semi-open-air bath was good. Never felt rushed. A must for onsen lovers seeking peace.

the public onsens are spacious and not crowded, which enhances relaxation. the shuttle bus can get overfilled during peak times.

I had a fantastic 2-night stay with a stunning open-air onsen bath, cute Yukatas, and delicious breakfast. Just be careful of noise from rooms nearby!

private open-air onsen with amazing mountain views

efficient check-in, diverse onsen options

warm room

The private onsen experience was really good, especially the semi-open-air bath with a tranquil atmosphere with fine views. Fresh coffee and a complete tea set in the room added a good touch. The queue for the private open-air bath was inconvenient, and the shuttle service to nearby attractions had an infrequent schedule, leading to some delays in our outings. Food, while good, could have offered more variety.

Immaculate hotel facilities, polite staff, perfect location for a remote trip, easy access to public transportation.

Nothing all excellent.

The hot springs were amazing, with both private and public options plus one in the room. the scenery from the outdoor baths was beautiful, with stunning mountain views completing the serene atmosphere. the staff were friendly and attentive, always happy to help with any requests. the shuttle bus was very convenient, with regular rides to nearby locations.

Celebrated New Year's Eve at this ryokan and it was amazing. Loved the outdoor baths and the beautiful Japanese garden. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly, making us feel at home. The shuttle bus to nearby towns was very convenient. We also enjoyed the traditional Japanese breakfast and the complementary noodles at night.

The dinner was not as great as we expected, but it wasn't terrible either. Also, some rooms faced a main road and parking lot, which can be a bit noisy. we had a great time and would definitely recommend this ryokan for a relaxing getaway with beautiful mountain views.

This hotel is a must-visit destination for a serene mountain getaway! the rooms are spacious and well designed, with many different bath types available. the staff are all very friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast is always fresh and delicious. the complementary shuttle buses are very convenient and the sauna is a nice touch. You won't be disappointed with the outdoor baths while gazing at the beautiful mountain scenery.

It can get crowded during peak season, so be sure to book your reservations in advance.

The private and public onsen were amazing. The ryokan had a beautiful garden and mountain views. The staff was attentive. The shuttle buses were convenient.

Can't think of anything.
