Hotels With Pools in Gunma Prefecture, Japan

"I visited during a three-day weekend in November. I was lucky to get a reservation the day before my stay. However, the hotel was a little outside of Ikaho's tourist attractions, so walking might be difficult if you can't catch the shuttle bus. The stone steps are about a 10-minute walk away, but the walk is quite steep (though the taxi driver said it was possible to walk there). The shuttle bus doesn't run directly to the hotel entrance and stops after 6 PM, so I wanted to take photos of the night view of the stone steps and Kajika Bridge, but it was cold outside and the slope made it difficult. The hot springs I was looking forward to were the rock bath in the basement and the large public bath on the third floor. The rock bath is timed and alternates between men and women, but it can be difficult for men to use at times. It's open until 8 PM in the evening and from 8:30 AM in the morning (otherwise, it's only available to women). Check-in is at 5 PM, so if you eat dinner after 6 PM, you won't have time to use the rock bath, which is a bit disappointing when you're busy getting ready to leave in the morning. The large public bath was clean and nice, but... Dinner was a buffet and breakfast was a buffet. There was crab at the buffet, but it was watery and not much meat. The sushi was probably conveyor belt sushi-level, wasn't it? It's a shame, as many of the other dishes and meats were delicious. I also wish there was an all-you-can-drink option. The breakfast buffet was very satisfying! All the food was delicious. My room was a twin, but it was clean and had a small cypress bath in the indoor bath! It was nice that you could see the occupancy status of each facility on the TV. The staff were all polite, but if you're expecting old-fashioned hospitality, you might be disappointed. It's a sign of the times, I guess. Overall, there were some disappointments, but I was satisfied!"
