In short: it's an absolutely fantastic onsen. We had a wonderful time from start to finish, even decided to add an extra night because I didn't want to leave after just two nights. Everything is of an extremely high standard, be it the fantastic food or the impeccable service and incredibly warm welcome from all members of staff.. Very special thanks to Koji Aihara-san and Yukihiro Sato-san and also the young trainee whose name I didn't catch for making our time at Chikusenso truly unforgettable! The rooms, grounds and baths are obviously very nice and the pictures on booking are accurate. We will definitely come back!

The house is in a quiet location with excellent kitchen facilities. However, the exact house location is a little hard to find due to many side track/junction. We are lucky to meet a local who advise us the exact location of the house.

The location and facilities were amazing, especially the bath was great after a day of skiing/activities in the snow. The kitchen and laundry machine/dryer were also very useful. The best part of our stay were the owners, as they are incredibly friendly and helpful! They were especially kind to help me when I got a bit sick, bringing a humidifier to our room and preparing a healthy dinner and ginger-based drink for me, as well as providing some medicition for my sore throat. You can tell that the owners really care about their guests and make sure to make all of them feel at home.

I chose this place based on the ratings and it did not disappoint. It was great for foreigners but it would help to have some Japanese or access to Google translate. Definitely do the hike to the outdoor Onsen on the mountain while you’re there and you can call a cab if you need to make an earlier train. The room was incredibly clean and the tatami mats were among the most beautiful I have ever seen. The futon they use for your bed is thick and actually comfortable. You do not feel like you’re sleeping on the floor at all and the pillow was fabulous. Since the yen is so weak in November 2022, I considered buying a futon from their supplier - no lie. The food portions are large so skip lunch if you need to or learn some phrases in Japanese to apologize if you cannot finish it. Please try every dish though even if you can’t eat all of it. This is one of the best value ryokan in Japan with the meals included. You can’t beat this and Zao Onsen seems like it is underrated compared to Kusatsu. I would prefer Zao any day over Kusatsu and it isn’t so crowded. I will absolutely be back. What a gem. I would not have found this if it weren’t for booking.com and the over 9.2 rating. Privilege to stay here.
