Senjuan when we were family.
I visited you on business. The affiliated Senjuan was so good that I came here this time! I wanted to relax by myself, so I had an open-air bath. It was a same-day reservation, but we were resourceful. The hospitality is reminiscent of Senjuan from arrival to guidance. I'm glad that they used plenty of local foods with high satisfaction. I enjoyed the traditional Onsen Inn.

A nice hide-away hot springs Japanese inn deep in the valley of Minakami in a very small village
The mid-sized inn is moderately priced and good value.
Nice hot spring onsen with an indoor and outdoor bath. It was snowing and a long dip in the outside bath was a special treat.
Dinner and breakfast were served at the dining area in a private room. The dinner was a fabulous kaiseki style course with much of the menu from local vegetables, mushrooms and fresh water fish.
There was a small museum just behind the ryokan with modern art and Korean antique porcelain, and an eclectic collection of several other paintings. The museum's owner is from the small mountain village and the owner of the famous 'Tenichi' tempura chain. A enjoyable museum worth the visit while going on a walk.
The service was very good and appears the two main managers were husband/wife ensuring you feel welcomed and looked after.
As we were getting ready to check out a gentleman from the ryokan was already out in the cold and snow, removing snow from our car windows.

Restful Serenity
The warm welcome extended by the wife of the establishment was the start of a wonderful ryokan experience. Situated in a peaceful and quiet locale, I really like the serenity. The kaiseki meals were absolutely delicious and insightful to the Japanese culture. We totally love our entire stay there.

Excellent dinner
Unlike most ryokans the check-in time at Tanigawa is 1300hrs which was fantastic as it gave uptime for an hour+ walk downhill to a road side lay by for a photographic shot of Mt Tanigawa and then back uphill thru the back roads and an unpacked track to the river side and then back to the Ryokan. The onsen was average. The room was well appointed. The Kaseiki dinner was excellent, one of the best in the 50+ ryokans we have visited. We intend for a return visit so that we can make the hike up Mt Tanigawa.

an authentic traditional experience
We were the only non Japanese tourists staying at the guest house and although sometimes the language barrier did create some interesting situations, it just added to our fantastic experience here. We wanted a traditional Ryokan and that's exactly what we got. We caught a fast train from Tokyo (approx 2.5 hours) then a bus and then we were in the countryside of Gunma with it's famous hot springs. The Ryokan is gorgeously furnished and the staff very attentive and helpful, although if you are expecting a full tourist service with english speaking staff, this is not the place. Our room was lovely if a little uncomfortable in that the chairs with no legs mean that you get a bit stiff when just hanging out in your room. The futons get set up before you sleep, so there's no bed to lounge around on. We found the turndown service utterly charming along with the little socks, shoes and kimino you get given to wear whilst in the ryokan. We felt very relaxed in this peaceful environment and booked in to use the private outdoor onsen at the top of the hotel. There is also a public onsen although we weren't quite game to bathe starkers with the other guests, so the private spa was perfect for us. Until we got in there and there was very loud construction noise from next door. So we cut our bathing time short and asked to be reallocated a time once the builders had finished for the day. The kaiseki food was amazing - presented incredibly although challenging to understand what certain ingredients were and not always my cup of tea food wise, but really added to the authenticity of the experience. If you are not well acquainted with kaiseki style food then take some snacks! We also figured out that there were extra futons in the wardrobe so on the second night had a much better sleep as we each used two futon mattresses, which softened the experience of sleeping on the floor. I had a facial at a nearby spa, which reception set up for me, which was brilliant. The surrounding area is lovely and we went for walks, even walking into town which was a little bit far! But they do have a van and driver available to pick you up from the station and take you to treatments etc. However, since we had to leave before 8am we had to get a cab which was about $20 for a 4 minute ride where the driver coasted down the hill in neutral. That's cabs in Japan though, extremely expensive! Overall, we loved our stay and felt like we experienced something truly special. This is not for everyone but if you want an authentic experience this is it.
