Takato Sakura Hotel

The rooms were comfortable and really nice, with ensuite bathrooms, wifi, and a good view. I especially liked the breakfast. It was so cheap too, just 6.000 yen without meals. I absolutely recommend this hotel!

The best place to stay in the Ina area.

The spring water feels slippery on the skin, especially in the outdoor bath, and it's really pleasant. You can look over the pond from there, and at night tree frogs come out into the open-air bath. It's a little pricey, but still a very nice hot spring. I've visited for day trips in both August 2025 and June 2025. For the June visit, payment was at the hotel front desk, 800 yen per person or 700 yen for JAF members. The baths are on the first floor, women's at the front and men's at the back. There are shoe lockers and lockers for valuables in the changing room, while clothes go in baskets, so keep valuables in a locker. There’s an indoor jacuzzi and an open-air bath. The water is alkaline.

The room was spacious, and the separate shampoo and conditioner with horse oil were surprisingly good. They’re also sold in the shop. The breakfast choices were limited, but it included baguette-style bread, and the white rice was delicious. I’d give it a pass. It felt like a respectable hotel, maybe around three stars even though it was rated two. I stayed during the summer holidays. There wasn't a quiet spot to hang out, but it seems like a nice place for autumn leaves or cherry blossoms in spring. The hot spring was lukewarm at 41 degrees Celsius. The water felt a bit slimy, and I thought it might help soothe rough skin. The description said it was alkaline. The towel set didn't include socks.
