Find Hotels in Nakanojo, Japan

It is located in Gunma-ken. You might only reach there by driving. There are several buildings in the area, which is really big. We spent a few hours to touring around. The place is very decent with an ancient and moody touch. The hotspring is very good. The room is super super spacious with high ceiling. Probably the largest room of a traditional Japanese Ryokan I've been staying for similar price. And it was really very beautiful. There are a lot of decoration and antique furniture in the room and public space. The staff were very nice and friendly. Meal is delicious and special. Since it's summer so there was only a few guests living there. Very quiet and good lighting. We had a really great time there. Would love to visit again with friends and family in different seasons.

My friend and I missed the dinner (and so cannot review that) as we had difficulties reaching the area, travelling 10 hrs from Osaka to Nakanojo, arriving at the station after 9pm, which supports how incredibly extraordinary the staff at Shima Tamura really is. After 9pm there are no taxis, buses, or any kind of transport to the onsen asides from a 4 hour walk up. We found this out by attempting to pantomiming + trying our best to call for rides with incredibly poor Japanese and were eventually resigned to sleeping at the terminal as there were also no other hotels nearby (also a no go according to the station attendant). We were only saved by pure chance! Another hotel owner, coming to pick up their guests, happened to overhear our troubles and suggested (/ended up calling Shima Tamura for us; we are eternally grateful!!). The staff graciously came to pick us up. The rest of the night that we managed to enjoy was incredibly worthwhile.

Kashiwaya ryokan is located a short walk from the 清流の湯入口 bus stop and the bus stop returning to Nakanojo station, making it in a very convenient location. I was greeted warmly by the staff and my luggage was kept while the receptionist/owner gave me some extremely useful maps and explained the available onsens in the area. Being located away from the central and upper towns, it was abit of a walk to the onsens and sites, but I feel like it adds to the experience and made it even more rewarding! It is located very close to the main bath, Seiryu no yu, which allows you to visit the bath whenever you want. There were few dining options available in the towns, but it was 100% worth it to pay for the dinner and breakfast as the spread was amazing, from grilled ayu, to nabemono, to a very pleasant matcha-based desert. The staff were so kind and welcoming as wel. The tatami rooms were spacious and luxurious with a nice view of the outside. Overall, I would definitely come back again!
