Find the Cheap Agematsu Hotels

This is a reasonably priced national lodging located on a hill just a stone's throw from the sleeping area. The Kiso region produces high-quality cypress, and the interior of the building has a bright atmosphere, with plenty of cypress used, and the hallways have a pleasant cypress scent. The Western-style rooms have been renovated, so they are simple, but modern, clean, and spacious. Also, the bathroom in the room was new and clean. There is no open-air bath in the large public bath, but it was a clean bath. The water wasn't that hot. I thought it would be better if there was a screen door to let the outside air in. In the washroom area, there was a pearl barley lotion. Cold water is outside the bath. Even though it was a day-use hot spring, not everyone came. Therefore, I was using it alone. It's a luxury. This time it's just the two of us. I was disappointed that I couldn't use the bath in the morning. I've stayed at various hotels and inns, but I think this is probably the first time I've stayed in one where I couldn't use the room in the morning. The explanation was that there were fewer users in the morning, CO2 emission limits, carbon neutrality, etc. However, there was no tea cup in the room, there was a disposable plastic cup, and the three remote controls were covered with plastic covers that could be thrown away immediately, which made me wonder what was wrong with the room. Later, when I looked closely at the fact that the public bath cannot be used in the morning, I noticed that the usage times were listed in a small section on the homepage, but they were not listed on the reservation site. In addition, Toron Onsen is an artificial hot spring made from natural medicinal stones. It is said to have the same effect as a natural hot spring, using the natural ore tron ​​stone, which is only found on the earth. I knew about that, but I heard that I thought it was a natural hot spring. I had no choice but to take a bath in my room in the morning. Although it is a unit bath, the legs are long enough to stretch out. Well, you won't know much about any inn until you visit. We had dinner at the restaurant. When you take your seat, the items are brought to you one by one, but the chawanmushi is piping hot and the tempura is freshly fried. There was also tempura with cheese sandwiched between apples. Other than the lack of sashimi, it was a pretty good dinner at a typical inn. As for the drinks, the local sake Nakanori-san's Dry Nama and 300c of Namazake from the sake brewery Nanawarai that I wanted to visit today were both reasonably priced at 880 yen. Breakfast was a Japanese set meal, and rice, apple juice, and coffee were self-serve. The customer service at this inn, including the restaurant, felt quite businesslike. I don't think I'll visit again because I can't take a bath in the morning.

The staff really went above and beyond to make two ignorant Canadian tourists feel extremely welcome at a traditional Japanese Ryuken. Though there was a small language barrier, we never felt that we could not communicate our needs. The hot and cold onsen was very refreshing after walking post towns along the Nakasendo Way. The river next to the hotel made for a relaxing experience and deep sleep. Somehow, I missed the option when booking to select the dinner option, there is really no other food options in the area, and the clerk (owner) said he would put a 'simple meal' together for us for a small charge which we found acceptable. The kaiseki that followed was some of the best and most authentic Japanese food we experienced in our two weeks in Japan. The woman serving us was an absolute gem and the cat that ran the establishment was adorable. Our room was very comfortable and had a nice sitting area with a view of the river. Only points of contention would be that that it's a little out of the way if you don't have a car, but is conveniently accessable by bus with ~10 minute walk. The facilities are a little dated, the onsen is discoloured, but I assume that is from the natural minerals. There was a stale smell (smoke) in the rooms which is a bit off-putting to non-smokers. It would appear smoking is allowed in the facility which might be a plus to some.

An inn owned by the Association of Protecting the Secret Hot Springs of Japan, run by a young owner and a young proprietress. Looking at the reviews of the inn, there is a surprising change from the past and the recent evaluation. It seems that he was replaced by his grandfather and grandmother. The hot water is a carbonated spring, and carbonated springs are generally popular. It is said to be effective for various diseases, especially skin diseases such as atopy. The best carbonated spring in Japan is Myoken Onsen Ishiharaso in Kagoshima City. Yuya Onsen in Gifu Prefecture and Shimojima Onsen are also carbonated springs, and are located on the opposite side of this inn across Mt. Ontake. There are several carbonated springs in Japan, and like the Oki springs, they are very popular. Among them, the popularity of Okisen is high, and now that the customer service and cuisine have improved surprisingly, it seems to be even more popular than before. After it is full of day-trippers, it seems to be full of overnight guests. The owner's refreshing customer service is wonderful, and the cooking of the young proprietress is also very delicious, although it is a country dish. I dare say that the sound from the next room can be heard clearly and there is no toilet in the room.

Very polite old lady's family hotel. But the price/performance ratio is really not high. The hot spring water is authentic because there is a paper certificate, but I don’t know why it smells like disinfectant water. I guess it is because of the epidemic? Breakfast and dinner can only be said to be basically full, so don't expect anything extra. The room (Room 135) is very big and has two toilets. When I made the reservation, it was 2,400 RMB in the morning and evening in Liangdalian. When I checked in, I brought an extra child and charged 4,400 yen plus a Futon, which was very reasonable. When we were leaving the store, the old lady came to the door and bowed until we disappeared from sight. She was really very hospitable. If I had to choose again, I would still stay here, but I would not include dinner (there is an izakaya in the alley next to the hotel).

The traditional ryokan was very charming and perfectly alluring. The decor of traditional artifacts of the Edo period gave a pleasant insights to a former opulence. The inside and outside onsens were clean with a clear zen and ambiance. How I love the traditional kimono-styled house clothes offering a comfortable restorative relaxing dress code.

We enjoyed our stay at this Japanese hotel. It's located in a valley within a small town, but its remoteness gives it a certain rustic and unique feel. When we arrived the staff jumped to get our attention and insisted on helping carry our luggage into the building. We were shown to our room which was spotlessly clean and absolutely beautiful. The two meals we had were great Japanese fare, each including about 12 or 15 different items to sample. Food quality is of the highest quality. The bathroom is beautiful and relaxing. We especially enjoyed the outdoor bathing. Super relaxing and open all night. We felt like we had an exclusive stay here; it's a place you won't soon forget once you've experienced it!

This is my second time using it. The building is a little old but clean. It is a comfortable inn where you can feel the hospitality. Drink bar, water server on each floor, common room, free manga corner, free massage chair. You can choose a yukata, a pillow, and a humidifier. There is an extension outlet and a hair dryer in the room. The standard course meal is reasonably priced at 2,000 yen for dinner and 1,000 yen for breakfast. However, while I think it would be nice if the inn would read it, there are two points I would like to improve. When I stayed for the first time, I was delighted to have hot tempura, probably because it was a weekday stay. When I stayed for the second time, it was a Saturday, so when I went to the dining room, the fried food (fried fish on this day) was already on the table, and it was still a little warm, but it was getting cold. . We got to our seats about 5 minutes before the start of the meal, so if we had sat down on time, we would have been cold. This is a scene that unfolds as a matter of course at a common reasonable ryokan. No matter how low the price, I don't think anyone would be happy to eat cold fried food. Even if you don't force yourself to serve fried food, even if it's simmered or cooked in a hot pot, I'd like you to serve hot food warm. There is a microwave that you can use yourself, so you can warm it up a little, but the fish fry had tartar sauce on it, so I just ate it. For breakfast, cold grilled salmon and a bite omelet came out, so I chinned them in the microwave. After all, it was delicious when warmed up. one more. Even if I wanted to stay, there were only smoking rooms available, so I gave up several times. There is also a smoking room on the 1st floor, and an ashtray is installed outside, so please make all rooms non-smoking. In any case, it is my favorite inn, so I would like to stay again.

Small quaint Ryokan run by a family. Share Toilet & Bath but if you can get the room nearby is ok. Simple place. Outside environment is nice with river, pond & great view of the mountain.
