• This hot spring inn is said to have been the model for the Ghibli movie "Spirited Away." It is a historic Ryokan (Japanese inn) with hot springs that was founded over 300 years ago. The red bridge in front of Ryokan (Japanese inn) is very tasteful and atmospheric. It is the oldest surviving hot spring inn in Japan, and is designated as an Important Cultural Property of Gunma Prefecture. Shima Onsen in Gunma Prefecture was the first national health resort hot spring. It might be a good idea to take a relaxing bath in this hot spring resort.

• A hotel with a panoramic view of Lake Toya and where you can watch fireworks

  nice! 0
• You can stay in the same room that Emperor Showa stayed in. Although it has been remodeled, the retro feel remains. You can also see a demonstration of how hot spring buns are baked in the hotel.

• I recommend Lake Shikotsu in Hokkaido. It is a high-class hotel with a quiet atmosphere where adults can relax more than families with children. However, I don't recommend it in winter because the snowy roads are quite dangerous, but I think it's nice in winter too. Personally, I prefer the lush green Lake Shikotsu in summer. Lake Shikotsu Onsen is also very good, and how about relaxing after a long day of travel by enjoying music and tea while watching the sunset in the lovely salon on the second floor of the hotel...

• A retro Ryokan (Japanese inn) that is a registered tangible cultural property.

  nice! 0
• Founded in 1931, this is a long-established Ryokan (Japanese inn) that represents Gero Onsen. The main building is a registered tangible cultural property, and still retains the appearance it had when it was first established. The three-story wooden building is surrounded by dense forests, creating a romantic atmosphere. The indoor baths have a retro feel with stained glass, and the open-air bath is in a tranquil environment surrounded by forest. This is the most retro Ryokan (Japanese inn) in Gero Onsen, one of Japan's three most famous historic hot springs.

• Enjoy Shirahone Onsen in a large open-air bath

  nice! 0
• I recommend Shirahone Onsen in Nagano Prefecture. Mixed-Gender Hot Springs open-air bath is cloudy and you can't see into the water, so it's great for the whole family. The scent of the hot spring wafts into the room, so it's not recommended for those who don't like the smell of sulfur, but the dinner is delicious and can be enjoyed by Japanese hearth, so it's perfect for the retro atmosphere.

• Escape from the everyday and spend a relaxing time in Yufuin

• I went there on a family trip with my parents and children. It is a very tasteful inn in the middle of nature. I remember very well the dinner where we enjoyed the aroma of bamboo while drinking sake, which was warmed in a bamboo tube. It was very moving to see fireflies flying around to welcome us when we went to the hot spring. Everything about Ryokan (Japanese inn) made us forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life and relax. It was a memorable hot spring inn, and I definitely recommend you to visit.

• This hot spring resort was founded in 1927 and is a nostalgic hot spring resort. There are about four accommodation facilities, but Kashoen is the one that offers the most retro atmosphere. You can use the baths in all the buildings, so it's fun to try all Visiting hot springs. Although reservations are required, there is a free shuttle bus from Shin-Hanamaki Station.

• Ryokan (Japanese inn) with a lovely hot spring and a retro atmosphere

  nice! 0
• Among the traditional Kamasaki Onsen, the one I would most highly recommend is Mogamiya Ryokan. It is a lovely Ryokan (Japanese inn) with a purely Japanese wooden atmosphere. There are hearths, baskets, old tools and decorations here and there in the building, which will make you feel nostalgic. As for meals, you can sit at a table in a tatami room, and delicious dishes are brought out one after another. When I stayed there, it was a cold, snowy day (snow is also a good thing), and I had a cough, so the staff were concerned and asked me if I was cold and if I needed any cold medicine. The bath is not very large and does not look elegant, but it has a retro feel and the spring water is of good quality! Prices are also reasonable, even on weekends.

• This is the finest lodging in the Okuhida Onsen area.

• The inn is a member of the Society for Preserving Secret Hot Springs in Japan, and is a relocated old house, giving it a retro atmosphere. Guests can sit on bearskin rugs by Japanese hearth, and eat meals around the hearth. The baths are free-flowing, drawn from the inn's own hot spring source. Relaxing in the wooden indoor and outdoor baths while savoring the plentiful hot water makes you feel as if you are one with nature. Shirakawa-go and Takayama, Little Kyoto, are also nearby, and it is the birthplace of Hida beef, so you can enjoy sightseeing and gourmet food all at once, which is another reason to stay here.

• A friendly Ryokan (Japanese inn) in Ikaho Onsen with a cypress construction and a sense of history

  nice! 0
• Although it is not a flashy luxury inn, it is a historical Ryokan (Japanese inn). It never rests on tradition, and the staff are warm and kind, and treat you with courtesy. The building is old, but it is well-cleaned and does not feel out of place. The area around the stone steps of Ikaho is retro, and the combination of Yokotekan and the stone steps street creates a chic retro atmosphere.
