The inside of the hotel has been thoroughly renovated and has become a modern hot spring hotel for individuals.

The food at the hot springs is great, but the directions to the parking lot, baths, and breakfast area are a waste.

This is an elegant inn. I was a little surprised that it was bigger than I expected. I'm staying for several nights and I'm satisfied. If I had to say anything, I wish the souvenir shop was bigger. It was also quite difficult to smoke. It's a little tough for smokers.

Used for touring. There was also an open-air bath in the room, so I was able to relax at night. The breakfast was so amazing that I think it was the best buffet I've had in the past. I can appreciate the detailed and wonderful service from a female perspective, but I felt that it was too biased toward women and that men would feel uncomfortable in many areas. This time we had a special room, so check-out was at 11am the next morning, but the cleaning of the room next door started before 10am. Even though it's a "relaxing inn," I don't feel at all relaxed. Specifically, when I was taking an open-air bath, water was coming from the room next door (I was cleaning it with water from a hose), water was coming from under the floor of the terrace next door, and the inspection hole in the ceiling was open. I was doing some major cleaning. I didn't think it was a very first class hotel. I would like you to provide a service at a reasonable price.

Our room had an open-air bath, but there was a strange smell that made it uncomfortable and I couldn't sleep. A young staff member, who seemed to be a part-time greeter, greeted us listlessly. I was surprised. The man at the front desk also seemed displeased. Overall, there was no sense of welcome or hospitality. It was nice to have an espresso machine in the lounge dedicated to the special room. The male staff member at dinner was the only one who taught me recommended ways to eat, and was the only professional in the way he interacted with me. I thought there would be no room at this level for a stay of over 100,000 yen.

Dinner is so rich in variety that you won't be able to finish it all.I imagined Tohoku to have strong flavors, but all the dishes have gentle flavors. There were reviews saying that the beef was tough, but the beef I ate was soft and delicious, perhaps because the course was different. The beef is served with butter and soy sauce, but it tastes bland, so I had it with Urabandai's mountain salt. The cherry blossom sashimi was stringy and hard, and I couldn't really taste the meat.The warm vegetables are served with tofu dip, but it has a simple taste.Fukushima's local dish kozuyu has a lot of ingredients, but unfortunately it was just ready-made wild vegetables boiled in water.Other miso dishes were really delicious.[Accommodation information]There is a passageway leading from the second parking lot to the building, so you can access your room without having to walk long distances. The entrances and exits are auto-locking, so security measures are perfect.Yukata are available in 5 sizes from S to 2XL, children's yukata, and in-house slippers are available in 4 sizes: 18, 21, 25, and 27cm. There are face towels in the changing room of the public bath, so you can use a new one every time you take a bath.Welcome drink is available until 10pm. I was surprised that there were so many types and that they also had alcohol. Please note that only coffee can be taken back to your room.We stayed with 3 people, and the bed was semi-double so we could relax comfortably. You can choose the height of the pillow. We also have supplies that you can take home, such as portable slippers and socks. The travel distance to the dining room and bathrooms is long, so it may be difficult for elderly people, but I was impressed with the variety of services that you won't find at other hotels. I would like to repeat it again.Visit in mid-September 2024

I'm going to Fukushima prefecture to buy peaches and pears. 😋2024 This is the third time. Accommodation Hot springs ♨️ (There are 3 in the hotel. Warm and relaxing) MealsI'm satisfied ✌ However, I don't like raw horse sashimi so I don't eat it...Until last year, my aperitif was plum wine, but this year I don't like alcohol, so I can't drink it, which is a shame...For breakfast, there's everything from the standard to pudding and cream puffs! It's fun 🎶
