Kawakamiya Kasuitei

Lovely onsen ryokan. Staff don’t really speak English so there’s a bit of trying to figure things out for yourself.  Nevertheless, service was friendly and helpful as best they could.  The outdoor onsen is really relaxing and because it’s not a crowded hotel, both times I went I had it to myself as did my wife and kids in the ladies area.  We picked the room with its own outdoor onsen tub which is a great option if you don’t want to use the non-private ones.  You can apparently book private onsens but they did not have any available for us (possibly because we arrived slightly late in the day).  Food was excellent for both dinner and breakfast.  Kids couldn’t;’quite enjoy the onsens cause they found the water too hot so you may want to make sure your kids can before you decided to splurge.  One final point, the ryokan is located down a tiny road on the right just before Google Maps tells you that you have reached.

오랜만의 가족여행을 위해 선택한 게로온천에서의 첫 숙소 따뜻하고 친절한 응대와 맛있는 식사 포근한 침구 더할나위없이 좋은 시간이었습니다 눈이 많이와서 더좋은 시간이었어요 온천시설도 너무크지않아 오히려 너무나 좋았어요!!
