Ikaho, Gunma Prefecture, is a hot spring resort with such a long history that it was even mentioned in the Manyoshu, the oldest anthology of Japanese poetry.
The retro stone staircases that are the symbol of the hot spring resort, as well as the atmosphere of a therapeutic hot spring resort, attract many travelers to the area.
The popular luxury inn Kaichoro is located there.
Here we introduce the charms of Kaichoro.

Away from the bustle of the city, in Oku-Ikaho, a small luxury inn that is 400 years old, “Oku-Ikaho Ryatei Kaichoro” is quietly located.
The inn, which has a long history dating back to the days of a military commander in the service of the famous Shingen Takeda, was opened in the early Meiji period (1868-1912) to offer a “new hospitality.
The facilities, built under the concept of “new harmony, new hospitality,” are a perfect fusion of stately Japanese style and modern design.
There are a total of 8 guest rooms that emphasize privacy.
The interior design is stylish yet natural and comfortable, with plenty of fresh white wood.

The charm of Kaichoro is the spacious and relaxing hot spring baths.
Among them, the “Japanese Suite” is the pride of the inn, boasting an area of 100 square meters.
The modern Japanese-style living room, with its stylish indirect lighting, is a relaxing place to unwind.
Simply sinking into the comfortably arranged sofas and chairs and taking in the rich natural scenery will fill you with a sense of tranquility.
The guest rooms are equipped with a half-open-air bath where you can bathe without worrying about the weather.
Once you have warmed up to your core while taking in the view through the large glass windows, it is nice to sit on the terrace with a free drink in the refrigerator and enjoy the clear breeze.

The most enjoyable part of the trip, “meals,” are served in the private dining room “Saryo” for the exclusive use of guests.
