Kogure hotel is a fantastic place and we highly recommend it. The hotel is in Ikaho Onsen town, pretty central on the mountain, a short walk to the main street. Their property is very large with lots of parking. The hotel is really nice, spacious and very well-maintained. It is a pleasure to walk around the hotel. You will get a very friendly greeting and welcome drink in their lounge when you arrive. The service is excellent and the hotel is beautiful. The hotel is non-smoking except designated smoking boxes. Our room was on the 7th floor, top. It was a twin near the corner and has a beautiful view. The room itself seems newly renovated and felt perfect. The dinner was in a private room. Very nice dinner. Breakfast was in the main dining room, half buffet and half served. Food was good. No complaints. We travelled with our 7 year old and they were attentive to her allergies. Now for the best part. The hot spring, public bath. Wow. I have been to many onsens in Japan but this was certainly one of the top, if not the very best. The public baths are huge with so many varieties of baths. The atmosphere and design was great. The water quality at Ikaho is truly amazing. Beautiful and will not disappoint. They switch the baths for men and women overnight, so be sure to try both times. The sauna was closed due to corona virus. We went to Ikaho Green Bokujo (farm), which is a 10 minute drive away. Ikaho is a nice onsen town to visit. The hotel was managing social distancing, etc... for corona virus prevention. No weird or awkward things, just good common sense. It was comfortable and appreciated. I highly recommend Kogure hotel. We loved it.

“Stunning Onsen Hotel”

We were given a night at Kogure by some Japanese friends as a Wedding present so I can't comment on price but if you are looking to splurge on an Onsen experience I would highly recommend Kogure.

We were given a night at Kogure by some Japanese friends as a Wedding present so I can't comment on price but if you are looking to splurge on an Onsen experience I would highly recommend Kogure. Our room was huge with a private bath on the deck & dinner served in the room. The dinner was amazing - we were speechless. A huge range of food so there is something for everyone & all beautifully fresh. I would suggest doing dinner this way. Bedding was Tatami style so if you're not used to that I think they offer Western Style rooms but you would be loosing a lot of the experience. The Onsen facilities at this hotel are great - big range of different baths both indoor & outdoor that never felt too busy. Very clean & big changing/shower areas. They also switch each morning between the male & female so if you stay overnight you get to experience all the different baths. We also had a massage which was easy to arrange (even with our limited Japanese) & very good. From start to finish the service & facilities at this hotel were faultless - valet parking, huge windows in reception overlooking the hills & even some staff who spoke some English. It is not far from the main attraction of Ikaho which is the Stone Steps. If you're looking for an authentic onsen hotel with great service but all the mod cons this is a great choice.

Nous avions réservé une chambre avec une terrasse privée extérieure Onsen et il était vraiment bien. La chambre était immense et très confortable. Tout à propos de la chambre était super, mais le mieux c'est qu'il y avait une bonne pression dans la douche et la piscine en plein air. Les autres arrêts onsens commune de l'hôtel étaient également très bons. Le dîner était un style kaiseki le dîner dans le restaurant principal dans une salle privée et c'était copieux et délicieux. Le petit déjeuner était sous forme de buffet avec un large choix de plats occidentaux et japonais le petit déj' varié. Tout avait un goût très agréables, surtout la cuisine à la demande du tempura. Le personnel était très chaleureux, poli et serviable. Les Anglais pouvaient n'a pas les meilleures mais on ne peut pas trop se plaindre à ce sujet-là. Le seul problème que nous ayons eu, c'est que notre chambre ne serait pas me connecter à une borne d'accès wifi gratuit hotel. Je reviendrais sans hésiter dans cet hôtel si vous allez visiter Ikaho

“Good onsen”

Ikaho is about 2.5 hours drive from Tokyo. The hotel is located about 10 minutes walk from ‘The Steps’, where most shops and restaurants are located, or the onsen street.

Ikaho is about 2.5 hours drive from Tokyo. The hotel is located about 10 minutes walk from ‘The Steps’, where most shops and restaurants are located, or the onsen street. There are quite a few located very close to “the Steps’ but are generally smaller. The Steps are not very exciting but worth a visit. I estimated that the total steps involved amount to about 20 storey tall Kogure, however, is very big. It takes you at least 5 minutes to walk from your room to the onsen. The room is also quite big by any Japanese standard, given the price of the room. The onsen is also super big, with many different pools and spring water. The onsen also provides breath taking view of the town by being near on the top of the hill. The kaiseki dinner was served at the restaurant which is located right in front of the lift. However, the restaurant made a mistake that treated me as a gluten free customer and as a result changed a few course in the dinner. The hotel could not change the course back to normal course, but offered a free drinks to us. Not a big problem to me. The breakfast restaurant has a very good view, though it is located on the ground floor and the buffet offer enough choice of food. We did not have to wait long to be seated. Service is generally very good
