Sawatari Onsen has been rooted in this area for a long time as the hot spring of Kusatsu Onsen. Looking at the map, it's about halfway between Kusatsu and Shima. Compared to places like Kusatsu, the hot spring town has no foot traffic and almost no shops. Silence. . . correction. I think people who like remote hot spring towns will love this kind of atmosphere. Miyataya is located at the top of the hill in the hot spring town. When you look at the inn from the outside, you might think it's small, but it's built like a typical Kyoto townhouse, with the inn going deeper and deeper into the back. The three-story building has an indoor bath, a private open-air bath, and a family bath. It's nice to know that you can take a bath 24 hours a day, except for the private open-air bath. It's not as acidic as Kusatsu, nor is it cloudy, nor does it have a strong sulfur smell. I wonder if the temperature of the water will be a little lukewarm. . . It may not be enough for hot springs for hot guys who only like hot springs, but since I'm not too assertive, it was gentle on my skin and didn't irritate my skin, making it easy to take a long bath. Both meals were served in a private room. I highly recommend the famous cream-grilled apple that I had for dinner. At first glance, you might think it's a dessert, but since it's topped with scallops, it could almost be treated as a main dish. It's also hearty because it uses a whole apple. The wait staff was a foreigner who was learning Japanese, so I had the rare experience of writing drink orders on a piece of paper and handing them to them. I thought it was a shame that the open-air bath was a completely closed space with no view. But overall, I think it's a good inn. I would like to visit again as a refreshing bath after a day trip bath in Kusatsu.

I've used it before, and the room was spacious and the view of autumn leaves was wonderful, so I came back again. At that time, if there was a connecting room, I asked for it as a room as close as possible. Just as I had hoped, I got used to living in a room close to each other, but it was an octopus room with no windows. There was a Japanese-Western style room down the corridor to the bottom, but the Japanese-style room was about four and a half tatami mats, so it was a small and gloomy room. The room with me is also a bath, and the 8th floor can be seen from the window is the wall of the bath. ”Well, if you think that it's only one night and includes a hot spring bath and meals, I wonder if it's worth the price.” I was surprised at the difference from last time.

Sawatari Onsen is known as Kusatsu no Naoshiyu. After enjoying a day trip bath at Kusatsu Onsen, I was taken care of by Mr. Ryumeikan. The exterior is full of the feeling that you have returned to the countryside. The landlady was friendly and the staff were cheerful at the homely and cozy inn. Among them, the volume of dinner was not half-finished. It is certain that the stomach will die of anger when licking. It seems that my stomach was happy to eat a lot of delicious food. The most troublesome thing was the bath. The temperature was hot and hot, so I had a lot of trouble getting in. Is it the point of strategy to increase the amount of hot water? Sawatari Onsen, which is said to be a famous hot spring. There was hot water and the skin felt smooth after that. Since the hot water temperature is high, it may be more pleasant to use it in cold seasons.

Absolutely beautiful location and multiple hot spring options! The buffet breakfast was exquisite as well ask the multi-course dinner. Sadly we only were able to stay one night but waking up in morning to see beautiful flurries of snow surrounded by mountains was much more magical and memorable than I imagined! During our stay, I even lost my camera and the staff were so kind to go down the mountain and mail it to me at the airport, speak Japanese to the staff at the airport to help me find it and I am forever grateful for their kindness and service. If I lost my camera I would’ve lost all my photos and videos of the trip! The staff speak Chinese and fluent English and so it was really easy to communicate with them. Will definitely come back!! Thank you Shima Tamura!
