Although it is a retro Showa inn, it was very clean and very clean.I don't think there are many accommodations as beautiful as this one.I was soothed by the hostess's friendly personality, and I was able to spend a very pleasant time thanks to her well-timed hospitality.Both dinner and breakfast had a large number of items, and each item was very delicious. The vegetables were also healthy and cooked to bring out the deliciousness of each vegetable, and the trout sashimi had just the right amount of elegant fat.This is an inn that I would definitely like to visit again.

Stayed for 1 person during the Obon holidays.Located near the station, or rather directly connected to the station square.This will be very helpful as this is a rare trip by train.The building is fairly large, but it is currently family-run and only operates within its reach.The atmosphere is reminiscent of the inn I stayed at on family vacations when I was a child.It feels old, but nostalgia first came to me.The food is not high class, but it's not the typical food you find in big hotels.The delicious food of Aizu, local cooking and tastes enlivened the mood of the trip.There are two hot springs across the road, and two in-house baths, all of which can be reserved for private use.Although the water temperature was high, I was able to enjoy the relaxing hot spring while looking at the mountains.

I used it on my first trip with my son.They took great care of me and made me feel comfortable.The sake was delicious, and the kids also received a strap from the Oza Toro Observation Train and sweets. My son still cherishes the strap.The food is voluminous and tastes very satisfying.The sweetfish was delicious.I would like to go in winter next time. I'm looking forward to the open-air bath with the snowy scenery. I'm also looking forward to the kotatsu.I stayed in a room with a view of the train, but it was a bit dark in the shade. However, I enjoyed the scenery of the train.

A tasteful inn that retains the atmosphere of the Showa era.The hostess was friendly, and the food was simple and delicious, as if to say, ``This is all I need.''It will appeal to people who like the good old days, but the facilities are old and there aren't many amenities, so I can't recommend it to people who don't like that kind of thing.

A hotel with the best hospitality from a friendly proprietress. There is an open-air bath across the road that can be reserved for one hour. I soaked in slightly hot water and enjoyed the open air bath repeatedly for an hour while looking out at the scenery of the valley. The indoor bath can also be reserved for one hour. The indoor bath was hot at 45℃.Dinner was a dish made with local ingredients, and the wild vegetable tempura and salt-grilled sweetfish were delicious.I also enjoyed comparing local sake drinks.Breakfast is a simple Japanese breakfast, and the rice is delicious as it is only available in Fukushima, a rice-producing region❗This is also an inn that I would like to visit.

I'm kidding! When I called to make a reservation, there was no one in charge of reservations, so I'll call you on the 29th! said from the other sideI specified a time and waited, but it never came! Are you unable to submit your request? Don't you have any intention of starting from the beginning? I'm glad I knew what to expect before paying! Customers are not gods these days, but I don't remember being looked down upon! Do all country inns treat guests this way? !I lost the desire to stay the night!

January 13th (Sat) - 14th (Sun), 2024Used for one night and two days. The bath on the left side facing the outside bath was not open. I'm not doing it because it's winter. The open-air bath and indoor bath (open-air bath with a view) on the right were open.This time, the room was a train view room. This room had a good view of the train, but I couldn't see it because I was only in the hot springs. disappointing. I saw it in the diner instead.Dinner turned to hot pot. Also, Mexicali tempura was added to the tempura. For dessert, I changed to kiwi fruit. It was snowing too.It was a relaxing and satisfying trip to Fukushima.November 18th to 19th, 2023 (Sunday)Last time I stayed there, it was very good, so I stayed here again this time for one night and two days.After all, I feel calm and healed here.I enjoyed the food and the hot springs.While I was eating breakfast, a train came running by. It was also nice to see the trains from the window.I used it for two days and one night from October 21st (Sat) to 22nd (Sun), 2023.The location is close to Yunokami Onsen Station.The room was 12 tatami mats.The room has a refrigerator, TV, air conditioner, pot, air purifier, heater, safe, kotatsu, etc. The toilet is warm with a heated toilet seat, but it is not a washlet.There is a large indoor bath (former men's bath) and a smaller indoor bath (former women's bath) in the building. Everything is fed directly from the source. Previously, it was separate for men and women, but now it is reserved for about an hour.Also, there is a bath just across the road. There are doorways on the right and left.The bath (formerly men's bath) that you enter from the right has an indoor bath and an open-air bath. You can access the open-air bath from the changing room, but you can also access it from the indoor bath. You can also see the view from the open-air bath. The temperature of the bath was a little hot in the indoor bath and a little warm in the outdoor bath. Previously, you could climb up the stairs to get a view, but a rope was put up so you couldn't get in. Too bad I couldn't get in. There was also a sauna, but it can no longer be used. This is also disappointing. For some reason, when you open the door on the left from the changing room, there is a large washing area in front of the indoor bath. Probably for when a large number of people or a large family can wash it.The bath (old women's bath) that you enter from the opposite left is only an indoor bath, but you can see the scenery from the window and it is very pleasant. It was hot, so that was good. Personally, I liked the bath that you enter from the left (old women's bath) because it was larger. When you open the window, it feels like you're in the open air. Also, the wind came in and it felt good.This bath, like the one inside the hotel, has free flowing water from the source and can be reserved for about an hour.Although the plan was for less food, I was surprised that there was more than I expected.The sashimi was especially delicious. Also, the tempura was freshly fried and crispy and delicious, the copper plate grilled pork was cooked after you sat down so you could taste it freshly made, the salt-grilled sweetfish was firm and delicious, and the nameko soup was delicious. It was a big nameko. The boiled fish was also good because it wasn't overly seasoned. The Maitake mushroom rice was also light and delicious. The dinner was elaborate and very delicious.The breakfast was also very delicious and satisfying. After your meal, hot coffee or hot tea will be served. Breakfast was simple, but delicious.Most of all, I was touched by the kindness of the landlady, which made me feel better.It was a very satisfying stay for one night and two days at an inn with great hospitality.

A hot spring inn located right near Yunokami Onsen Station. Although the exterior looks a bit rundown, the prices are reasonable. There are two indoor hot spring baths and two open-air baths across the street. …
