Ryokan Tsuruya

"Our lodging in Bessho Onsen was "Ryokan Tsuruya," a rather retro hot spring inn founded in the Genroku period of the Edo period. However, the cuisine is highly acclaimed, and the hot spring water is 100% natural spring water, so we booked it. The low price was also quite attractive... The gabled building's exterior is beautiful. This time, we reserved a Japanese-style room with 10-12 tatami mats. The room is retro, full of Showa-era charm, but it's kept clean and comfortable. The shoji screen decorations and alcove design are wonderful. The black telephone and CRT TV are full of retro charm. There's also a toilet and sink in the room. The hot spring water is 100% natural spring water, with no added water, so the landlady warned us, "Be careful, it's hot," but for me, it was just the right temperature. The open-air bath was a little cooler, but it was also comfortable. It had a sulfurous scent and the water quality was excellent. There is also a free private bath, but since we were staying on a weekday and only four groups were staying, we didn't meet anyone in the hot spring. Meals at Tsuruya Ryokan are served in your room. The menu included Shinshu salmon sashimi, carp simmered in sweet syrup, earthenware pot steamed dishes, and A5-grade beef shabu-shabu. It wasn't flashy, but it was delicious♪ Dessert was fruit compote. It was a very satisfying dinner. Breakfast was also served in the room. It was a little simple, with simmered simmered dishes, salad, whitebait, hot springs*, etc., but maybe this is fine. I prefer this kind of nostalgic, rustic inn to a half-renovated inn!"

Saito Ryokan

"I stayed overnight without meals included, arrived late at night, and left on the first train of the day, but I felt a sense of peace and tranquility that only a small, cozy place can offer. The landlady was very kind, and the sulfurous hot spring water was wonderful."

"The hotel service is very personal and can meet individual requirements. The meals are satisfactory and the facilities are clean."

Anzuan Nishida

"The owner is very kind. It's quite tiring to walk from the station. You'll sweat a lot even after soaking in the hot spring, so you'll need to change clothes. They provide a shuttle service, so please ask them. Since it's located in a forest-like area, ants and spiders tend to get into the room. It's a bit disappointing that you can't easily go to the hot spring town."

Uematsuya

"A traditional Japanese hot spring hotel with very good hot springs and spacious rooms. Dinner and breakfast are highly recommended and suitable for family travel. If you like traditional hot spring hotels, you should try it. "

"It was a nostalgic place to stay. From the culture of the late Edo period to the Taisho Romanticism and Showa era, it felt like I was traveling through a time capsule. It was a truly wonderful day. In particular, when I requested a tour of the facilities, I was given a thorough explanation of the building, which is designated as a "Registered Tangible Cultural Property by the Agency for Cultural Affairs." I sincerely hope that this cultural property will be passed down to future generations. I would definitely like to stay at this inn again."
