Staff was very kind and patient since I do not understand Japanese too well. The food was great
There is not much more to see nearby than the hotel itself and you would need a car or rely on an infrequent bus connection (with most passenger going to Kusatsu, so ensure to tell the driver you need to unboard earlier or it will take forever to get your luggage back)

I'm a regular with booking.com for 10+ years n true onsens hopper and I must expressed this is 1 of those bad ryokans we have ever experienced!! Traditional old we can expect but toilet was dirty n service was zero.. food was bad unlike a real ryokan we were served western food for both nights! They still used kerosene as heater n whole ryokan was smelling of kerosene!! Utterly DISAPPOINTED n for the price we paid....it was really NOT WORTH IT AT ALL..
Everything from the service to food to room and omg the onsen was really bad..

The meals served were tasty and delicious. The outdoor onsen was very enjoyable. The hotel is very cosy and one could unwind and relax. Hotel is located a bit inland, so it is best to drive there. The room phone is a throwback to the 80s.
Nothing.

Loved its location in the woods, away from the town and yet an easy drive into town. It is an old place and it can be quite cold in winter but the gas and kerosene heaters make the stay comfy enough. For me this place is the real traditional Japan and I love it. Our room was a simple tatami room and it was a bit small for our family but it was fine for two nights. We enjoyed the private outdoor bath, the water temperature was perfect and it was so nice to soak in the hot water on such cold days. We had breakfast at the hotel and dinner once and food was excellent quality. Overall I really enjoyed the stay there!
Not much really. I wish the old style room we stayed in was a bit modernized but it’s also part of the charm of the place. It’s a pity the public bath doesn’t have an outdoor Onsen as well as an indoor one.

Every traveler is different...
Different purpose.
Kose Onsen is away from the hustle and bustle of busy tourist area.
I love the private open air bath,even the indoor bath is also breathtakingly beautiful.
This place is a secret paradise that I would love to
come home to once in a while.
I didn’t enjoy the breakfast as much but it’s good enough to have some warm soup to get thru the day.
