"We absolutely loved the private onsen in our room. Staff was very helpful in ordering a cab to the train station. I would skip the full board dinners in favor of supporting the local businesses!"

This Ryokan is in a wonderful spa town and the hotel, staff, food, rooms and facilities were all wonderful. We will try and stay multiple nights next time to really get the feel of the town, region and people. wonderful small restaurants and hotels as well as large businesses. Should suit everyone.

An excellent stay! The room was large and comfortable with a gorgeous view of the river. The Onsen were excellent with many choices available during the day. Highly recommended!

I had one night of Accommodation to book the night before I flew to Japan for a Business/Holiday trip. Staying here was the best last minute decision I have made.
Clean, comfortable, quiet dorm rooms, a short distance from the train station, a kitchen with everything you could need, a bar with cold beer and amazing staff that go above and beyond! I walked from Gunma station, the free drink ticket was very nice!

Absolutely loved our stay here! The buffet breakfast and dinner included were great and provided a vast range of Japanese, Western and Italian options. The staff went above and beyond to welcome us and our ten month old baby. The rooms were well maintained and spacious for Japan. Gorgeous location, but remember that it is quite a distance away (at least 20 mins by car if not further) from restaurants (for dinner, there are a few lunch options closer)/convenience stores, etc.

Great Ryokan, difficult to reach area, recommend more than one night stay just to unwind and truly appreciate the area, staff was friendly with limited English

Everything was excellent, from caring staff, property condition and food. Please note that there is no lift, but they take your bags up and down (2-4 floors). Free coffee/tea in their cafe/bar. Onsen was also very good. Room was spacious and we were allowed an early check-in. Highly recommended if you are visiting Chuzengi. Take care driving up the winding road during winter.

Lawson is 2 min walk. Onsen is great
We stayed on top floor 5th floor, lift only goes to 4th floor unfortunately, so carry up luggage 25 steps. Might need help if you struggle with heavy lifting
Room is spacious.
Lobby lounge comfy. Well family ran hotel. Shuttle bus runs frequently morning till 6pm.
The shuttle bus at echigo station stops on the right side as you come out the sliding door of the station if you are looking for it.
There is ski rental if needed. Small souvenirs...

The facilities, room, food and location were all excellent. The hotel is right next to a ski lift and beginner slope. The staff and owner were extremely helpful and courteous. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Shiga Kogen.
