Experience of the stay
In Ikaho, Gunma, we found a plan for families that included dinner and breakfast and stayed at Hibikino!
The two elementary school kids were able to stay on this day for an additional local payment of 14,630 yen each.
We arrived a bit early before check-in and thought we’d wait in the lobby, but upon entering, they allowed us to check in right away. The kids were happy to pick their cute yukatas right away!
In the lobby, there's a beautiful garden, and it seems that you can also taste Japanese sake and wine. I wanted to relax while looking at the garden, but with kids it was hard to do this time...
There were board games, so we played here until the large bath opened!
In the large bath, there was a shampoo buffet that the kids enjoyed.
The outdoor golden hot spring was gold in color as the name suggests, and the garden in front of it created a lovely atmosphere and felt great.
There were two bigger reclining chairs next to it, so you could rest there and could probably stay in for hours.
From 4 PM, there was a festival at the attached campsite called LUONTO! It seems that this facility has just opened recently. A small festival was held right inside the cafe as you entered. We did some shooting games and then enjoyed some roasted marshmallows and drinks from the permanent menu.
At 7 PM, we went to the dinner venue. The sukiyaki was especially delicious! It was quite filling, and even adults ended up with full stomachs.
After dinner, we returned to LUONTO and enjoyed fireworks in an open section.
Breakfast was also plentiful, and we left the accommodation with full stomachs and happy hearts.
Experiences during the trip
Before coming here, I enjoyed fishing at a nearby fishing pond and had the salt-grilled fish, sashimi, fried fish, and carpaccio, which were all incredibly delicious! More than anything, it was really fun for the kids, who were fishing for the first time.
After checking out, we headed to the nearby Green Farm. To be honest, I didn’t have high expectations, but the sheep were really cute, and there was a sheepdog show that was so much fun!
