Hotel Hanasarasa

The food was a but below traditional ryokan standard in term of skill and taste. The onsen smell so strongly of chlorine.

Wife and I traveling from the USA. We found this place to be ideal for a pre and post Nakasendo trail hike (although the trail itself was not that special). The staff was friendly and spoke English well enough. The on-site onsen (separate sexes) was clean and perfect for after a hard day’s hiking. Breakfast was fun and a bit of a hurdle if you’ve not had Japanese-style breakfasts. Hotel decor seemed straight out of the 1960s, but it found it charming. One suggestion for hotel: list the times of the free shuttles from the train station more prominently on your website.

ビュッフェ形式の朝食を提供するホテルが多い中で個室で提供される朝食は味も良く雰囲気も格別でした。温泉の泉質も良く、肌がつるすべ湯となり湯加減も最高でした。また機会があれば利用したいです。
