Gunma Prefecture hotels & accommodations

Osenkaku, Takaragawa Onsen is one of the best onsen resorts in Japan. The resort was located in Gunma prefecture. You can access the resort with ease from Tokyo station (shinkansen), in which will take you about 75 minutes from Tokyo station to Jomo-Kogen station, then, a resort shuttle bus will pick you up from there and will take approximatety 40 more minutes to reac...

The hotel is not exactly consider as cheap, but the location is best. it's just around the first junction from station exit. Best base for being in Takasaki then travel to other nearby city or tourist spot. The room space is bigger than most of the Japanese hotel. Basic facilities are all there. considering it's in Japan, as such a big hotel, it's a pity there is no p...

My gf and I decided to walk to the hotel from the bus station to explore more of the beautiful town, which was only about a 10 minute walk. The hotel is situated on top of a hill between the Yubatake (town center) and Sainokawara park/onsen which I think is quite a good location. As soon as we arrived, the staff welcomed us warmly and helped us get checked in emphasizi...

At the best location in Kusatsu right next to Yubatake, Naraya is a well established ryokan of history. Despite the age, facilities are all kept in very good conditions. I appreciate in particular the onsen which feels even better to me than those fee-charging ones around Kusatsu. Dinner was excellent. My room was decorated with a theme, spacious and comfortable. ...

It felt like a family runned ryokan and most of the staff were older people so English was limited. They tried their best to make the guests feel welcomed by communicating in Japanese but the guests could guess from their expression on the message they wished to convey. The ryokan is near to the village centre and everywhere else so very accessible. Lovely and beaut...

Excellent location if you are arriving late and need a place to stay over-night. Staff are very good and efficient. Room is quite small. Best to bath at common bath area as it is more spacious. Breakfast at hotel ground floor is a must ! Value for money Breakfast buffet with excellent Japanese dishes - very delicious and almost like home cooked food.

Pros There is a free shuttle bus to yubatake from 3pm or it takes 8-10 mins by walking. The conceirg staff gave a free umbrella due to the rain when I was leaving after checked out. Staffs carry luggages and take for guests for a hotel tour then to the room. Good drum show at 8.30pm, and give away ¥500 if you volunteer to dance on the stage. Good buffer dinner and...

Of the four Ryokans I have stayed in in Japan (Nara, Kyoto, Hakone), Micasa in Minakami was both the most memorable and the best value. If you are debating if the trek to this remote town is worth it, it is. I recommend staying for two nights and springing for one f the rooms with a private onsen (especially for couples). In addition to the men’s and women’s onsen (whi...

Perfectly located a mere 5 minutes walk from Yubatake and right next to a free public onsen, this ryokan is well worth its money. Got to experience a traditional Japanese inn, including a lovely breakfast of grilled salmon. Definitely the best hotel I've stayed at during this trip. The ryokan also provides discount coupons upon arrival which can be used at nearby attra...

Everything is perfect except a little hicup about shuttle bus service in which I have to pay an extra 6480 yen (but I only agreed to 4000 yen with the manager there). According to their website and the payment conditions shuttle service is already included in the hotel price. I have also asked the front desk of another hotel which I stayed the night before to call to c...

We have a pleasent night at the hotel. Our room at the main block is upgraded, spacious resting area viewing the west side scenery. We walk to the onsen situated at the second block, along the corridoor, books, photos related to the old hotel are exhibited. The onsen are refreshing.

GREAT HOTEL. Clean and comfortable. Close to the center of the city and walkable distance to all great onsens. The rooms were well thought out and the amenities were all there. The AC can be a little hard to figure out at first, but once you get it going all is good. The beds were extremely comfortable and the breakfast was good too. Not much of a selection but enough ...

My family and I stayed here for 2 nights and it was a pleasant stay indeed. Upon arriving, we were greeted just outside of the parking lot and was assisted to an available parking space. The parking space was just in front of the hotel. Upon checking in, friendly staff are always available to attend our needs. I have no problems with the room and was delighted with the...

As a solo traveller coming to Kusatsu for the first time, Kusatsu Onsen Futabaya was the perfect starting location for exploring the surrounding onsens. The location was very close to the central Yubatake area where most of the onsens were, and with a little bit of walking, you could reach the other onsens perfectly fine. Coming into Kusatsu completely blind, the recep...

Great stay. The hotel is a little run down. However, this is the reason why it is so cheap. So don't expect a fancy Onsen area. The hotel mainly caters to the elderly and families with small children. And best of all, beer is included in the dinner buffet. If you are looking for a reasonable stay this might be your choice.

Kitchen staff at breakfast were great. Check in staff not so great. Checked into smoking room even though had requested no smoking a month before as i was travelling with baby. They didnt believe me until i showed them a booking receipt. No appologies just handed air freshener and told they were full. The room smelt disgusting and i refused to stay in it. After repeatl...

What can you expect at this price? Guaranteed service excellence at any APA hotel chains. Rooms are small but it is the norm in Japan. Staffs were extremely helpful and attentive to all needs. Free coffee and tea in the early morning is a pro. Just one thing... On one particular day, the housekeeping pretty much didn't do his work nicely. The bed wasn't even...

The max stars I can give here is 5 but if I could I would give it more! Great hospitality in this mini ryokan with just a few rooms. Despite that, there are four private onsens to use with is very sufficient, all with the same spring water from Kusatsu onsen square. The breakfast included was spectacular. Would have been great if they did dinner as well. Definitely gre...

The hotel is very near the yubatake area., within 5 mins walk and a 7-10 min walk to the bus terminal. It's quite old but well-maintained. Their food was amazing! It's served kaiseki style though in their restaurant and not in your room. The staff aren't really well-versed in English but they sure do try to communicate as best they could, all with pleasant "happy ...

My stay was very peaceful. I was only there for a night, but the hotel felt slightly off. The hallway ceiling was pretty high, but the door looked oddly short. The whole place looks a bit aged, but it's well maintained and the staff is very friendly and eager to assist. Wifi is present, but it's a very dismal connection, and you're better off leaching off the neigh...

The place is nice and quiet. Rooms are quite spacious and clean. The view is nice. What is worth mentioning is that dinner and breakfasts are very nicely served and tasty (Japanese style). Yet, be aware if you are vegetarian of any sort - as most of Japanese hotels, this one also is not familiar with the idea of not eating meat. Onsen (guests can use one in hotel an...

with small fee, you can enjoy the outdoor private onsen at top floor for a hour. It is very big and comfortable. You can bring your own beer or sake. Make sure you reserve it earlier, like everyday in the morning. Hotel also provides free onsen for limited number of guest everyday. Same onsen, but it is only half hour usage time. Staff are very nice, but only speak a...

The hotel is tucked away in the back streets and is very quiet. It is only a 10 minute walk from the bus station but when you arrive with luggage take a taxi. It's only ¥730, a set price and makes it easier to find the hotel. We were on the second floor which in our terms is the first floor. Be aware there is no lift and the stairs are steep although wide. For the...
Cheap places to stay in Gunma Prefecture

This is a great place to stay for all types of visitors, whether you are traveling solo, as a couple, or as a family, etc. The service and the care received have no words to properly describe how well and warm they are. The price is very reasonable, the hostel family is so lovely, the location is a bit far from the station if you are walking and the slope is treacherou...

Pros: Next to car rental Next to train station Good price Bright lighting Breakfast included Overnight parking for 500 yen, reasonable I guess Cons: Dust mites in bed cover. I get reaction of this type. The ventilation is a bit too warm and humid.

Remote location so satisfactory for a few days - not much in walking distance (with dad in a wheelchair) in terms of restaurants. Breakfast bar options are few if you arrive at the end of service - so arrive early. Rooms are small but the staff & facility are EXCELLENT!! Warning - there are several Route Hotels in Isesaki with no shuttles between if you go to the wron...

It’s real cheap, but you get what you paid. It was quite a surprise to be welcomed by hallway full of used towels, as I walked my way to the room at 3pm. After a little break I left my room around 4:30pm, the view was exactly the same. And the next morning. It seemed like there were only 2 of them working- chatting loud rather than cleaning, I could hear them in my ro...

A very cosy stay in this Ryokan with very friendly and approachable hosts (though only speaks Japanese). The location of the ryokan is in walkable distance to the Bus station, and the famous Yubatake area. Many areas available for parking and the nearest parking lot to the Ryokan is Carpark #1. Amenities were fully equipped from bath towel and small towel (for onsen) ...

I was surprised to see the size of the beds in our twin singles. The room can easily sleep two average sized adults and two small children. Check out was a breeze - just drop your card key in boxes in the lobby or ground floor entrance. Check-in and check-out times are inflexible though - the case with most business hotels in Japan. You have to check-in only after 3pm ...

We were really happy with this hotel, although it's not an international hotel and staff have very limited English, they still did there best to help us and we're very courteous and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable and a bit bigger than other hotels in the area. Good value for money. Lobby and eating areas very nice and lovely to have someone playing piano in th...

The Nakaya Ryokan is the most excellent stay I had in whole Japan! Mr Tsuyoshi Abe and his family and staff are very helpful and greet me with a warm japanese hospitality. The room is very spacious and I really enjoy the traditional Japanese style living. I love the rooftop onsen so much. The surrounding is beautiful and relaxing, I really enjoy walking around Yubiso a...

Our stay at Tenjin lodge was amazing. We headed us to Tenjin lodge to canyon with Canyons Adventure company and Tenjin lodge worked with us to book the whole weekend. The staff were incredibly personable and friendly. We were greeted with smiling faces, a grand tour of the facility and a chance for us to enjoy the evening in a laid back atmosphere. It was the perfect e...

The Yubatake is just outside the hotel and it's good to see the morning and the night view of the Yubatake. There is a public onsen for foot right next to Yubatake. Good for a winter trip after walking outdoor for a while. The famous Sai No Kawara Outdoor Bath is 15 minutes walk from the Yubatake and along the road there are some nice shops for food and for souvenirs. ...

I went to Tamura Ryokan with my mother as part of our trip to tokyo. We took the tokyo-shima onsen bus which made the commute super easy. The ryokan is up on the hill- the highest point in the shima onsen area. My mom and I were carrying luggages and the staff members rushed to help us when they saw us nearing the entrance. We were really impressed with their kindness ...

Had such a wonderful time at Kashiwaya! I'd planned to stay up the hill at a more expensive place, but saw the reviews here and thought I'd give it a go. So glad I did! The place is warm and cozy, the staff is super friendly, helpful and accommodating, the facilities were great (all three of the private baths are just gorgeous — I sat outside in a snow storm soaking ...

We regret staying for 1 night at this wonderful hotel, We missed our bus from Tokyo to Kusatsu hence only arriving at the hotel at about 9pm, check in was fast and we were brief on the facilities of the hotel. We manage to enjoy a short hot spring bath (private bath as we brought along our 4month baby) and was surprised that the private bath was well prepared with baby...

First thing, the place is very nice, mostly locals which is what i really like as there are not many rowdy tourists around. Breakfast is pretty boring, but i guess i have been spoilt by the extensive breakfast spread provided by other Japanese Ski Resorts in Hokkaido. Room is big and clean. Staff are helpful in the best they could but it will be better if there are...

Traditional hotel with nice location, located along the river so you will have river view from guest room as well as onsen. But staff can only speak Japanese and by japanese operation style, everything is fixed. This hotel is good for traveler who can speak Japanese and get used to Japanese style.
