Properties with Onsen in Nakanojo

We stayed at Kashotei building, and our room has a private onsen, which I highly recommend if staying as a couple. The room was more spacious than I thought, and there is plenty of room for luggage and bags. Pyjamas and yukatas are provided, which you can wear to breakfast and dinner, which makes the stay very cosy. There are welcome snacks and drinks available both in our room, and also at the lounge. Breakfast and dinner were very tasty and of excellent quality, we enjoyed the in-season ingredients which are from the local area. Every dish was made with care and presented beautifully. The public onsens across the 3 buildings are clean, well-maintained and very relaxing. The buildings are connected and we didn't need to go outside to access them. Staff at check-in also provided us with a map and explained how to get to the baths. Excellent ryokan, definitely need to visit if you are planning to visit the region.

We had a room with a private wooden bath, so we could bathe whenever we desired to! Not only was the room extremely comfortable and quiet, but the service was great too. The person, making sure our stay was as comfortable as possible was very kind to us as well, despite the language barrier. This was our last stop on our Japan Trip and it made the whole trip so much better, being able to hop in a private Onsen whenever! There was also an Additional Onsen you could rent out for an hour for 3000 Yen. It includes two different baths, one indoor and one outdoor and was definitely worth the price. The Food was incredible as well. We arrived by car, our luggage was carried up for us and our car was parked properly, so we really had nothing to worry about other than to find the place and relax our night away! It's a little off the beaten path. I'm not sure if you can reach the hotel easily by Train but it's quite simple with a car if you're confident in driving in Japan. There's a lot of beautiful scenery around too, such as a huge dam at the top of nearby valley, with an adorable little restaurant. I highly recommend the room we had for couples if you would like a romantic evening together!

Quiet, warm staffs and good onsen. Meals were good too.

Feeling of having the place to ourselves

A gorgeous ryokan experience. The vibe at the house is quiet and stylish. Our room had a private onsen, just the perfect size for us. It was really nice to enjoy the heat of the water on our balcony while looking at a gentle snowfall. The public bath was beautiful as well, with both in and outdoor onsen. They have a private bath available also. The dinner was extraordinary. Our first take at a kaiseki meal, and we were delighted. The person serving us was really helpful and understanding, with great english! All in all a great stay, and we felt truly welcome!

Where do I even start — this was our favourite stay in Japan! We originally booked for two nights but ended up extending our stay after a typhoon warning was issued for our next destination. The staff were incredibly accommodating, helping us weigh our options and moving us into another available room for the extra nights, ensuring that breakfast and dinner were included. Our host, Hinata, was absolutely wonderful. She spoke clear English and went over every detail of our stay — from cleaning times to meal preferences — with such care and professionalism. She was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely made us feel at home. The rooms are incredibly spacious, with soft, cosy beds, including a TV with Netflix and Disney! Making it easy to spend the day inside doing nothing! The food was exceptional — comparable to a fine Australian degustation that would easily cost hundreds back home. One night, we were even treated to dinner at their sister restaurant down the road, where we enjoyed delicious Wagyu steak, complete with pick-up and drop-off service. There were also snacks and alcoholic drinks available for purchase, plus a daily happy hour from 2–5pm. The private onsens, both in-room and in the public facility, were perfect for unwinding — with free Yakult on hand as a thoughtful touch. They also offered complimentary pick-up and drop-off at the local bus stop for both arrival and departure, which made everything so seamless. It was the perfect escape from the bustle of Tokyo — relaxing, memorable, and truly special. I can’t wait to return!

A marvelous stay!! The employees were helpful and friendly, everything was exceptionally clean. The beds are comfy, they have softer pillows if you ask. They have so many features!! Table tennis, a few board games, but best of all - a library (all Japanese) and a wonderful place to wind down and read your books: the forest room, located on the second floor!! And of course a perfect Onsen area with indoor and outdoor bath! I’ll definitely be back some time!

It’s an old, well maintained property. You can hear the river outside. It’s very beautiful!

The staff hardly speaks English, despite the language barrier they were very nice and definitely helped us a lot with any request. The hotel is not suitable for those who have difficulty with stairs, there is no elevator and we had to change rooms to a more expensive room so that we would have fewer stairs, apart from this problem the rooms are lovely the view is wonderful and the food is great, everything is very clean and very pleasant
