Wonderful onsen getaway in a picturesque mountain village

Reviewed By 495samuele

My wife, son, daughter and in-laws from Tokyo visited this onsen at the end of September. We have been to many impressive ryokan onsen, but this one was particularly impressive. We have had limited travel opportunities during the past 18 months, and we are very happy we chose Boun Onsen. It was beautifully nestled in the hillside surrounded by picturesque mountains and volcanic mineral streams. Nearby were a variety of omiyagi and street food choices near the main city center where the hot springs are featured . The staff were extremely professional and polite and were Japanese efficient. The rooms were spacious and the tatami mats and bedding wete warm and cozy and stocked with a wonderful green tea set. They have three separate onsen that alternate between men and ladies so everyone can experience the wonderful natural baths. The food was exquisitely presented and the flavors matched the artistic presentation of each meal. This experience was well worth the reasonably priced getaway and we highly recommend this Ryokan!

Wonderful experience

Reviewed By Rosh909

Lovely traditional hotel with great old world charm. The onsens in the hotel are definitely a plus as you can retire to your room after a session without having to endure the external elements particularly when it is snowing. Very responsive staff. As others have mentioned, the building is mainly of light structure and as such you can hear sounds from rooms around / above you. How loud it gets is luck of the draw with the other guests staying at the hotel at the same time. For us it was generally ok and the hotel experience outweighed this negative

Amazing onsen experience

Reviewed By GintamaZ

We did not stay at Manza Prince , but the sister hotel. The best part of the Prince Manza Hotel was the onsen. You get high sulphuric water with a breathtaking view of the mountain in Manza Onsen region. Best visit during winter. The experience was sublime!

Great place to relax, but the food could have been better

Reviewed By BurntRice

The staff here were courteous and nice, and the place itself was well kept and really good! Unfortunately the dinner we had was not as good as what we came to expect from other ryokans. It wasn't bad, just not as good as we expected. The onsens were great, and the experience of having a private open air onsen in the snow is an unforgettable experience.

Never have I felt so Japanese.

Reviewed By Angus G

I was taken here by two Japanese friends who drove me up through the nearly impenetrable mist. Incredible scenery when you could see. The building was huge and probably hasn't changed a bit since 1974. Our room was very basic but warm and cosy. The baths are incredible. The milky water does feel wonderful on your skin and all the baths are I need wonderful wooden buildings with great views. The buffet hall felt like school camp with much better food and what an eye opener it was seeing the bus loads of senior citizens and office workers getting stuck into their niku jaga. There are many foreign staff so you should be able to cope without Japanese. You should give it a try as this is so outside the regular tourist experience. Having a morning outside bath overlooking the mountains is something you'll never forget.

Time tripped to Samurai era

Reviewed By Zupp302

This is a typical traditional Japanese thatched style inn that looks like a movie set for a samurai film. Located in the middle of nowhere in the mountains. They provided a free pick up from Nakanojyo station where an express train from Ueno station stops. It took us around 40mins by car to get there. There are some annex in the village and some of them display historical objects. The room was big and comfy apart from the heater or boiler for the heating system kept making loud noises which deprived of our sleep. If this hadn’t happened I would give 5 stars. The baths were excellent especially the outdoor bath with a view of the falls was very impressive. The food was great, too much to finish, and seemed like most of the staff speak English. It’s a remote area so all you can do is to stay in this inn and take as many baths as you like. But I do recommend this place if you truly want to experience a traditional style inn in Japan.

Okay but could be better

Reviewed By chanlil

This onsen hotel is a bit dated and there is no wifi in the building where we stayed. Amenities in room or onsen are limited and some onsen does not have shower facility. Visited one of the outdoor lady onsen which has a good view of waterfall. Dinner is served at private dining room instead of at the guest room like other onsen resorts. The Japanese course dinner was good while buffet breakfast was rather basic but still feed you full. Hotel staff are polite and attentive. There is a lady at front desk who can speak good English. As it was raining, they were very kind to send us to their sister hotel Shima Grand Hotel for our bus back to Tokyo.

The best ryokan in Japan!

Reviewed By nancy8448

I had an amazing stay at this ryokan - it is a beautiful place to stay that has everything - friendly staff, three private rotenburos, clean, beautiful rooms and delicious food! From the moment I booked I received quick responses to my questions and detailed instructions on how to get there, as well as suggestions on places to visit in the area. The staff are all very kind and it is a relaxing place to stay. It is the best ryokan I have stayed at in Japan and I am looking forward to visiting again!

Daitokan

At Daitokan you can enjoy not only the splendor of Yubatake right before your eyes but all the wonders of Kusatsu. Yubatake is without a doubt the most iconic site in the Kusatsu hot spring district. The dynamic scenery of the steam rising up from the spring is a sight to behold, not to mention the gorgeous, mystical illumination put on after dark. A stay at Daitokan will put the splendor of Yubatake right before your eyes. We have guest rooms overlooking Yubatake, so you can relax and soak in the pleasant scenery of Yubatake and the hot spring district. Our spring water’s source is the famous Yubatake itself. Please enjoy the best of hot spring baths with spring water straight from the source.

Could be updated

Reviewed By Danma11

Overall I enjoyed m stay here. However, the heating system in each room doesn’t appear to have much consistency - on the same setting it would blow out super hot air and then quite cool air intermittently. The onsen, while beautiful, is closed 0000-0100 and again 0900-1500 which was super disappointing for those cold days you want to get up early to seize the day but relax later. Staff was friendly and accommodating to me despite my lack of good Japanese language skills. Location is great. Interior hallway floors could be updated. Supposedly had a restaurant on site but I couldn’t find it; saw several rooms that appeared to be abandoned or perhaps getting updated but with no apparent recent progress.
