[Gunma ]4 inns with private baths in Ikaho

Located on a slightly elevated position within the Ikaho Hot Springs, it is an environment where one can enjoy nature to the fullest.
From the window of the room, you can see beautiful views of the Tanigawa mountain range, Akagi Mountain, and other mountains that Gunma is famous for.
The large bathroom is spacious and draws hot water from Shirogane.
Cute colored yukata are also available for rent for those interested.

Three different types of private baths with different atmospheres are available.
The baths use the same shirogane hot water as the main baths, and the spring water is silky and smooth.
Shirogane no yu, also known as "hot water of beauty," warms the body and moistens it after bathing.
There is no additional charge for using the private baths.
You can bathe as often as you like at any time if available.

There is a key storage area near the floor entrance to the private baths, so check there and take one from those remaining and head there.
If there is nothing hanging on the key storage area, all rooms are in use.
It can be a little crowded on weekends and holidays, but in that case, go to the main baths and wait a little.
If it is warm, we recommend waiting outside on the terrace with a cup of coffee.
The private baths tend to be somewhat empty after dinner, making them a good bet.
The atmosphere of the bath can be seen clearly in this video on the official website.
Relax and relieve your fatigue in the rock bath, cypress and hiba baths, and more.

Eating is another essential pleasure of travel.
Meals at Seikanso are creative kaiseki cuisine with plenty of mountain produce.
They serve only Gunma ingredients, especially for those who want to eat "local delicacies ".
The fact that they value handmade flavors is also reassuring.
Breakfast includes grilled fish, thickly baked eggs, and fresh vegetable salads.
Although it is a standard breakfast, it is a "luxurious ryokan breakfast" and is very heartwarming.
Why is it that we tend to eat a lot of breakfast at inns and hotels?
Incidentally, there is a place on the grounds of Seikanso where clean and delicious water flows out.
It is also nice to know that the water is used for cooking, which makes it feel special.
The dining area is dedicated to both dinner and breakfast.
The private room style allows you to enjoy your meal without worrying about other people's eyes.
