인 요코테이(Yokotei)

4 Senior backpackers in Japan "stumbled" onto this gem of a Japanese inn next to the Arakawa River. Less than 10 minute walk from the Kami-Nagatoro station and 10 minute walk to Nagatoro Station. We chose location due to proximity to river and start of river boat downstream river ride-sites. We were pleasantly surprised by the hospitality shown throughout our two-day stay. We were late in coming out of the mountains of Gunma prefecture (2 hour plus train ride away) and called the inn to notify and were subsequently told that this was no problem for check-in and supper. Fortunately we made up time lost and got to the inn earlier that expected and enjoyed the serene tree-lined river and men's and women's communal furo (shower/bath also in rooms) with outdoor views before dining. Then...we were overwhelmed by the quality and quantity of the dinner! A real treat to get a 7+ course Japanese meal featuring the specialty vegetables and protein of the region! Upon departure we chose to walk with packs back to Kami-Nagatoro Station, along the river, but the proprietor had the Inn van ready and waiting to take us to the train station. The included breakfast's were also multi-course Japanese style, with regional specialties. Granted, the hotel is somewhat time-worn, probably seeing its zenith in the 80's and 90's but all the facilities were cleaning, usable and safe. All staff went made a great effort to ensure that we were enjoying the locale and the Inn. This location, in our opinion is much more serene and "touristy" than the main area surrounding Nagatoro station but is only 10 minutes walking from that action. If opportunity arises, we will return. The Saitama Museum of Natural is just across the street but this large and modern facility was not open on our late arrival and on Monday. We left on Tuesday morning, but wanted to visit this place also.

超中意! Staff so nice that he gave us a ride so that we can enjoy the cherry blossom lighting before the offtime. I gave the cat a good massage in the morning, it was a pity that we could not bid farewell because the cat went to play elsewhere. The food was great, both dinner and breakfast. I like the nostalgic atmosphere there, so warm and welcoming. The onsen was also perfect. I love 養浩亭，and because of the hotel, I am also in love with 秩父

갑자기 가족 7명이 지치부 여행을 하게 되어 예약했다. 저녁 식사는 예약 때 실수로 바베큐로 해 버렸지만 결과적으로는 정답이었다. 가미나가토로역에서도 도보 5분 정도로 편리하지만, 로비에서 다음날의 체크아웃 후의 전철의 시각 보고 있으면 호텔 쪽이 말을 걸어 나가토로역까지 차로 보내 주는 것에・・・결국 보물 등산 로프웨이 곳까지 보냈다. 시설은 오래되었지만 아주 좋은 여관이었다.
