This is a quiet inn at a reasonable price. There were also dishes featuring seasonal fireflies. Each appetizer was an elaborate dish. The heat source for the pot is bincho charcoal. I ate all the delicious food. It was my birthday soon, so I even received a present. I'm a little concerned about the step on the threshold of the room.

We have been to Japan over 40 trips in the last 28 years. With breath taking tranquil garden, this place boasts one of the most beautiful in door ofuro we have visited. One of the best dining we have had in luxury ryokan or Ikyu plus experience. Almost every dish has the chef and staff putting their heart into it. Almost every dish is warmed with some heat source in the utensil. We don’t want to post too many food picture, leaving that to the guests to enjoy and appreciate. Highly recommended.

I think it's a high-class ryokan located along the river away from Iizaka Onsen Town. There are probably around 10 rooms, and you rarely meet other guests. Some people may use it incognito...The bathroom with an open-air bath is also spacious and gives a very good impression. It was also good that we had the meal in our room. At night, you can sleep while listening to the frogs. It's surrounded by trees, so the view isn't that great, but I don't think it's a big deal. As you can see in the photos, the food is all very delicious.

Room came with two dining chairs and had no cushions or any other chair, are they expecting us to relax with dining chair?
The magazines at library were 2 years old, too. I won’t go back.

I took him on a birthday trip. I was truly overwhelmed with emotion.The service, food, and space are all top-notch! !It's so worth visiting Fukushima just for Kawasemi!I decided to work hard every day so that I could come every year on this special day.Thank you for the wonderful meal. I will definitely visit again.

People from far away probably imagine a quiet inn on the banks of a clear stream where you can see kingfishers (^-^;Although it is close to the hot spring town of Iizaka, this area is a perfect residential area. It is an artificial space created in a residential area with a sense of life.No matter how much you surround yourself with bamboo and fences, the sound of the nearby Iizaka train and the sound of the railroad crossing will bring you back to reality...Also, the smell of domestic wastewater running through the river, which is far from the clear stream in front of me, and the sound of the river created by artificial river construction still bring me back to the real world...I think it would be better to think of it as a theme park modeled after a luxury hotel.If you come here thinking it's a real quiet luxury inn, you'll be disappointed.By the way, there are supermarkets and drugstores nearby, which is convenient.

I went there with high expectations because of the good reviews, but I was very disappointed. I've been to a lot of inns with open-air baths, and my personal impressions are that I think the reviews are fake, but I have bad memories.

I thought it was a place to enjoy food.It was delicious as per the reviews.The customer service is also great.The room and hot spring are average.Recommended for those who just want to eat delicious food without considering cost performance.

The price keeps going up.Service keeps dropping.Staff who do what they are told.I have no ideas and no starting point.Managers. If it stays like this, you can leave it alone.There is no questionnaire, soI have no choice but to tell you here.First of all, check-in used to be 14:00, but it changed to 15:00 many years ago.If the price goes up and goes up and goes up, it makes sense if you check in at 2pm.If it's 3pm, you can have lunch at home and then go.After all, I've been to Fukushima City many times, and there's no particular place I want to visit.That's what a repeater is.Repeat guests go out of their way because they like inns.I went there to relax, but before I knew it, at 5:30 pm, the waitress came and went to prepare dinner.Nakai-san is a dark person.I have no choice but to stay in a dark mood. That happened many times.The open-air bath is too hot so I can't take a relaxing bath.I would like to lower the temperature by about 2 degrees.Since it is served in your room, prepare it 30 minutes in advance. It can't be helped, but dessert and coffee are served too late after breakfast, so I can't enjoy a relaxing bath after dinner. I'm just curious about how much time I have left.The public spaces used to be more relaxing.The glass building is not always open.There's not much space to enjoy.Most of the staff are older.That can't be helped, but I would like to see more attentive service.I don't think it's enough just to clean and serve delicious food.The Sendai beef soup and hitahita dish didn't suit my taste and I couldn't eat it.Also, the amount of alcohol in the drinking comparison set was too small.It's sad, is not it.I received a letter accepting the reservation, but there was not a single message of gratitude or joy in meeting me. If I were to send a letter, I would like a heartwarming handwritten message.It would be great if you could think about what a luxury inn is and put yourself in the customer's shoes.

In addition to the hot springs, this inn is all about the food. Of course, I think there is nothing to say about the appearance and customer service as a high level of hospitality.The dishes that change every month are so fun and delicious that once you try them, you'll want to keep coming back to see what kind of dishes they'll try next.In fact, this was only my second time, but it was a repeat.I'm not in a position to visit here easily, so this is an inn where you'll want to complete the monthly menu from January to December, no matter how many years it takes. (Of course, the menu changes every month of the year)The public bath is clean and has towels and bath towels, so you can go in empty-handed.The rooms on the 1st floor have an open-air bath, so there are relatively few people using the large public bath and open-air bath, and it seems like only the guests on the 2nd floor are staying, so it feels like it's almost private. The hot water feels so good that you moan as you step into it.The Nakai-san have a good sense of distance, and if you talk to them, they will respond with a friendly and refreshing manner.I gave the location 3 stars because it's a little far from the Kanto area and a little far from Iizaka Onsen Station. Of course, we will provide transportation to and from the station.However, this is an inn that makes you want to go eat even beyond that. In a sense, this is an inn that makes me realize that this kind of accommodation fee is what it is.Recommended as a journey to heal yourself.

It's a nice, clean inn.It was a very creative dish.Personally, I like Japanese food that makes the best use of the ingredients and has a strong dashi stock, so the dishes didn't suit me a bit.Recommended for those who like gorgeous cuisine.

It has become my favorite inn ever since I first stayed here a few years ago.After that, I visited several times and was healed both physically and mentally with delicious food and baths.However, when I visited again in June, I noticed a change in the dishes that I had liked, which made me a little disappointed.If the time comes when I can try the previous dishes again, I would like to make a reservation as soon as possible.This is a very safe inn.

This is a high-class inn as per its reputation.Service, food, rooms and all aspectsIt shows hospitality.Starting with valet service, guiding you to your room, explaining the meals, providing late night snacks and mineral water in the morning, and providing a unique experience that you won't find anywhere else.Special mention is definitely the food.A dish called the special selection that changes every month.This time, we will introduce "Shark Fin Meuniere and Ayu Uo Onna's Kudzu-tataki", which combines the texture of the grilled shark fin with the Ayu Uo Onna and other vegetables to create an exquisite dish.Delicious with the flavor of the soup stockThe sea bream chazuke at the end is rich and delicious.Should we call it a ryokan with a perfect reputation and a space that can only be enjoyed by those who visit?
