Gunma · Rokumeikan

1

An inn with Meiji-era roots

• 🏯It began as Miyazaki Ryokan, founded in the mid-Meiji era at the old Kazawa Onsen.
• 🔥After a great fire in 1918 destroyed almost every inn in the spa town, it was renamed and reopened in Shin-Kazawa Onsen.
• ⛰️A retro hot spring inn set in the mountains on the border of Gunma and Nagano.

Kumoi-no-yu, the 'beauty bath'

• ♨️Water is piped from Kazawa Onsen's Kumoi-no-yu source about 4 km away: a silky magnesium-sodium bicarbonate spring (45.5°C) known as a 'beauty bath'.
• 🛁Men and women each have an open-air bath and two indoor baths, one of them free-flowing straight from the source.
• 🌙Bathing hours run from 15:00 to 9:30 the next morning, so late-night and early-morning soaks are possible.

Bankatei, the farmhouse annex

• 🏡A roughly 100-year-old farmhouse moved from the former Kinasa village in Nagano and renovated, with just two rooms.
• ♨️Shunsen-no-ma has its own private open-air hot spring bath; Keigetsu-no-ma has the same layout without a bath.
• 🛏️Both have a 10-tatami room and a sunken-kotatsu veranda downstairs and a loft-style bedroom with two semi-double beds upstairs, for 2-5 guests.

Main building rooms

• 🛏️Four each of 10-tatami rooms on 1F (2-5 guests), 8-tatami rooms on 2F (2-4), and Japanese-Western rooms on 3F with two single beds plus a 6-tatami room (2-4).
• 🚽Every room has a washlet toilet and washbasin; all 14 rooms are non-smoking.
• 🍵Rooms come with TV, fridge, safe, hair dryer and tea set.

Seasonal Joshu kaiseki

• 🥩Main building guests get a Joshu beef sukiyaki course; annex guests get grilled Joshu beef as yaki-shabu or steak.
• 🐟Sample dishes include sashimi of Tsumagoi Ginhikari (Gunma's premium rainbow trout) and char, and salt-grilled Tsumagoi yamame trout.
• 🍳Breakfast is Japanese with local specialties; annex guests dine in private rooms, main building guests at table seating on 1F.
