Hotel New Koyo

Good. There are indoor & outdoor onsen. Buffet dinner and breakfast. The room is big and clean with a nice mountain view. We enjoyed our stay here.

Excellent stay! Hotel may be old but the facilities are up to date and clean. Service from staff is also generally good. 7mins walk to Sainokaiwara Park via the short cut. It’s a 15mins walk from Yubatake and you’ll need to walk up a slope to get to the hotel, may be strenuous for those with luggages. There’s a shuttle bus to and fro hotel to Yubatake every hourly, refer to photo. There’s even a shuttle bus to Takasaki train station, so ask the staff for details. Breakfast in hotel is excellent and very homely, overall enjoyed my stay here and will recommend friends to come!

Good place

Location - about 10min walk from the bus terminal at Kusatsu station. Walkable unless it's snowy or froze on the ground as part of the path is quite steep to walk up. Not hard to find as the town is quite close to everything. About 15min walk to yubatake for the famous onsen for pictures and local food and snacks. You can walk to the Sainokawara Onsen(open air public onsen) for about 8min which is located just behind the hotel itself. Service - they do provide transport to and from Yubatake with a specific timetable. They also have an open luggage area at the main hall if you area before check-in you could just leave the luggage and explore the town. They also have separate gender onsen with both indoor and outdoor facilities. They came around 7pm to my room to offer to set up my sleeping mattress. The dinner time was 6.45pm to 8pm and they may vary between seasons. You will be located in a seat in the dining room so don't worry about the crowd and having to fight for your seat. It's buffet style food and I read previous comments about food being cold. They aren't cold as it was heated around 60c ish but the moment food leaves the Bain Marie it will become cold especially during winter. Alcohol is included but you need to be 18 years old. They will start closing some stations including soft serve around 7.30pm so do get there earlier. Cleanliness - just an older building and maintenance pretty ok. You could tell from the design it's a bit outdated but it wasn't dirty or messy. Amenities - they have a Japanese sleep/bath robe at the main hall for guests to take if you need. There's no wifi in the room unfortunately and the only free wifi provided by the hotel is just located down at the main hall. I was given a Japanese style room which is pretty standard. It was on the 7th floor so it came with a pretty good view.

房間設施陳舊簡陋，沒有洗手液，沒有洗澡洗頭液，浴缸形同虛設，衹有一塊非常小的肥皂。室外温泉感覺沒有每天清洗，很多漂浮的青苔。唯一優勢就是有陽台，能看到遠處滑雪場，入住價格不貴，含早晚餐都是自助餐，品種多。

ホテルの場所については、湯畑からホテルまで車で送迎がありましたが、この情報は予約時には届いておらず、私たちは歩いて行ったのが少し残念でした。ホテルの露天風呂はとても良く、しかも湯畑とスキー場まで車で送迎してくれます。スキーの道具もホテルから借りることができ、安くて便利です。スキー場からホテルまでの便は、午後は1便しかないので、1時間に1便にしておくと便利です。
