Hot spring guesthouse "Hiranoya".The decision is to use the water directly from the source.You can stay in the bath 24 hours a day, and the source water comes up from the bottom of the bath 👍It seems that the late grandfather of the inn used to sing tanka, and the song on display is really nice.On the way home, I received a souvenir from the landlady, which included a letter. This is my first time staying at an inn like this.The cleaning is very thorough, and my parents have loved this family business for generations.

Hiranoya is a Japanese-style hot spring that I like. When you enter the inn, it feels like an old hall. When I entered the room, there was a tatami mat, which I was happy about. …

There is an Aizu Railway bridge right in front of you. The perfect accommodation for railway fans. The men's and women's hot springs are small but have open-air baths. Dinner is hearty and includes Aizu cuisine. There is an abundance of wild birds in the valley, which is just a few minutes walk away. The best!

Good points: The bath was very clean and nice ♨️ It's hard to believe that it's a guest house, and it's open 24 hours a day, so it's nice to have free-flowing water 🙆 The food tastes like local cuisine, so it's great! Considering the price, the cost performance is good 👍Bad points: The guest rooms are a bit old...Also, the hot springs and men's baths are a little visible from the outside😆The walls are thin and it sounds normal because the people staying there are like flies.The landlady and her husband run the business as a married couple, but is it a fairly well-established guesthouse? An inn? is. It's run by a couple, so I don't expect much customer service, but I had a relaxing time. At the end, I received souvenir sweets and a letter, which gave me a great sense of Japanese hospitality. I don't recommend it for couples as the walls are thin, but if you're traveling alone or with a group of guys, I think it'll be a great memory!

Yunokami Onsen Gorge is quiet and very nice!You can bathe in the hot springs 24 hours a day, with the water flowing directly from the source.The proprietress of Hiranoya also speaks the Fukushima dialect fluently.It's comfortable!The dishes mainly consist of river fish such as char, yamame trout, and sweetfish.There will also be herring. Especially the salt-grilled sweetfish is served piping hot!You can eat everything from head to tail. The braised cod is also very delicious.Boiled food is delicious. There are many local sakes, all of which are delicious.The downside is that it's a guesthouse, so there's no toilet or washroom in the room, so it's shared.Other than that, it's a great inn. You can get a full meal with just the side dishes!

My husband and I work together at a guesthouse.For an additional 1,000 yen, you can compare three types of local sake.When I returned home, I received an oak bag with a letter from me.

I think it will be evaluated differently as a hot spring guesthouse.I'm picky when it comes to food, but I don't like both dinner and breakfast (lol).

This accommodation is the worst.Especially the landlady is the worst.It's better not to be fooled by the ratings.Even though the hostel is at faultWhen I pointed it out, it turned upside down and opened up again.I don't even think about itHe ended up making a superficial apology.I was so angry.I will never stay at a hotel like this.

The hot spring was a little hot. You can enter 24 hours a day. The food was very delicious both in the morning and in the evening. Beautiful interior, friendly hostess and husband. Everything was great.
