I had the best shower and bath of my life there, there's a lot of water pressure and very hot, next to the shower is the onsen bath open all night. The staff was a friendly and attentive the installations are beautiful. They Give you are Yukata that you can wear around town to get into the onsens. I made a reservation for the Japanese style breakfast and it was delicious they serve you Tamago Onsen. Would stay again. Lovely.

家族旅行で利用しました。 駐車場は渋温泉利用者有料駐車場で24時間1000円ですが、宿泊者は半額補助が出ます。 宿まで車で行こうとするとかなり細い道を通ることになるので事前に宿に確認して車を止めてから行くことをお勧めします。 駐車場からは歩いて3分程度です。 9湯巡りをするならちょうど真ん中あたりに宿があるのでかなり便利です。 アメニティーはバスタオルとフェイスタオルが一枚ずつ、歯ブラシと浴衣などがあります。 湯巡りをするならすぐにタオルがしっとりしてしまうので予備に1枚あると朝の洗顔時に気にならないかと思います。 ★部屋にドライヤーがないので注意が必要です。 部屋のお風呂はユニットバスで古さを感じますが、宿の地下に宿泊者用の温泉の内風呂があるのでそちらを利用しました。 湯巡りを皆さんしているのか私か入った2回とも貸切でした。朝の8時まで自由にはいれます。 女性の方にはドライヤーが一台ありましたが男性用の方にはなかったとのことです。 だけどそんなことは気にならないくらいお料理が美味しかったのでお泊りを検討している方は是非お食事付きをお勧めします。 地のものを楽しめる、とても美味しいご飯でした。 朝ごはんもボリューム満点でごはんが進みます。 宿のスタッフさんたちもみんな感じが良くて快適でした。 我が家は息子も大きかったのであまり気にならなかったけど小さいお子様連れや足の悪い方はだと階段が急なのでその点は気をつけないといけないかもです。 それでもまた渋温泉に行く際は利用したいと思うお宿でした。
お夕飯のしゃぶしゃぶがおいしかったです。
朝からボリューム満点です。左の信州サーモンの味噌煮が美味しかったです。
右上に写っている信州牛のカレーが最高です。ご飯のおかわりをしてしまいました。

Recommend to a friend!

Amazing experience staying at this ryokan. Upon arrival they had our name on a piece of paper posted in the front window of the hotel which was helpful to identify that we were in the right spot. Room was large. Staff was Super nice speaking english and answering all our questions. Breakfast was AMAZING! We wish we had also done dinner. Right in the middle of all the hot springs which was fantastic.
