和心之宿 大森 (Omori)

Omori has a rich history as a Ryokan. The interior is homely and vintage! Like it’s frozen in time in the 1980s. The lounge has a panoramic view of Mount Akagi and several other mountain ranges. you can sip sake or wine from paid dispensers while you find your zen. The Level 8 outdoor bath is awesome and spacious. Views are awesome and the air is refreshing. Omori is right next to the Ikaho bus station as well as the Ikaho Ropeway. Just a 5mins walk to the stone steps as well. Even though the nearest Kombini (Famimart) is a 15 minute walk away, they have their own minimart. Breakfast was well crafted with hand-picked local Gunma produce. Awesome!!!

餐點有特色 地理位置極佳 離公車總站以及纜車站極近 服務人員熱心溝通無障礙 湯的部分露天景觀開闊但植被關係無法泡著享受小可惜

住商務型房，不會因為不是價位較高的和式房，清潔就不到位，房間很乾淨舒適，館內溫泉有室內浴場、露天浴場、付費包租泡湯池，餐飲好吃，離365階梯及神社稍微走10分鐘左右即可到（如果手持地圖可以抄小路更快喔） 旅館斜對面就是高速巴士（站名：伊香保溫泉站）（東京來回、車票需事前預約無臨時購買）

Stayed for 2 nights in early Dec 2024. Booked the mountain view twin room with cypress bath which comes with both dinner and breakfast. The ryokan styled hotel is located diagonally opposite from the shibukawa bus stop and about 5 mins walk (turn right from the hotel) to the Ikaho stone steps around the mid section of the steps. The hotel is old ryokan style but well maintained and does not see much wear and tear. The lobby which is on the 3rd floor (ground level) is big. No shoes allowed in the hotel, guests have to deposit their shoes at the entrance. Staff were all friendly and polite though not all can speak well in English. They do go much more to make you feel at home. Yutaka is provided at the lobby. My room which is located on the 4th floor corner is considered big. Old styled ryokan kind of design but with western bed. Though the room is laid with tatami on the floor but can still hear people walking if they area heavy or run. Corridor noise does filter in as well but muffled. Unblocked view of the mountain as the hotel sits on an elevated hill. I would recommend to stay with mountain view. The cypress bath can fit 2 person but takes a while to fill, I rather go to the public onsen. Besides the usual amenities, they even provide face wash, face moisturiser, etc in the room. Safe box is provided in the room as well. Wifi seems weak. No place in the bathroom however to hang your clothes or towel. There is an indoor onsen on the first floor and an outdoor one on the 8th floor. The onsen are gender separated. They rotate the male and female onsen on the first floor though both has the same look and facilities. The onsen on the 8th floor has a nice view of the city but no shower facilities. There is a massage chair on the first floor as well. Breakfast and dinner are served on the 2nd floor. I would not say that this is the best, but definitely delicious and sufficient. Check in at 3 pm and check out at 10am which I find a bit too early. Hope they can consider to extend. Overall I would recommend this place to stay if you are coming to ikaho.

服務人員親切有禮，露天湯「浪漫」可遠眺群山。雖然飯店設備不算新穎，但客房坪數大、應有盡有，搭配伊香保溫泉區的復古文青更顯韻味。四處可見飯店吉祥物「馬」的元素，早、晚餐豐盛美味，主廚使用當地食材做變化，令人餐餐食指大動。

Very comfy stay! First time with a Ryokan and it was very nice (though I chose a not-so traditional room), there's English speaking staff onsite too

Everything was so so so nice! Staff was super friendly, views were great, onsen was nice, food was also super good!

スタッフの方達の おもてなしがとても丁寧で良かったです 料理も美味しく、部屋風呂もあり、景色もよく見えて良かったです

最喜歡就是 8 樓天台的露天風呂，一流

如果你懂日文當然是更好，但我是不懂的，但店內有早晚班都有略懂英語的店員能協助，最推介是酒店的溫泉♨️，我也是為了溫泉才來，天台露天風呂開揚，泡起來舒暢～酒店門前就是來往渋川駅的巴士站，如果不是坐高速巴士來，那位置是極優，不然就要爬一段樓梯或斜坡，但我個人拉著行李箱🧳也向得還好～在同區幾百年的老店比較他才100年出頭，個人覺得Cp值還不錯
