It's a nice retro inn.The view from your room and bath is spectacular, and it's worth the trip.I was very satisfied with the courteous customer service and delicious food. Repeat is confirmed.However, there are two private baths, and you have to go up and down the stairs to get to the entrance to find out the availability (judged by the presence or absence of slippers), so you have to go back and check many times, and it's the only one there. was very inconvenient.Also, there are no restrictions on bathing time, so if my stay date overlapped with a guest taking a long bath, I think my satisfaction level would have dropped significantly.

I stayed there two years ago.The building is old. I have a taste for it.Meals are served one item at a time at the table. The horse sashimi was delicious, and the overall dish was elaborate and luxurious.There was an open-air bath, and it was nice to be able to take a bath while looking at the wonderful scenery. I think there was also an indoor bath. I entered it almost exclusively.The room is old, but the view is great. However, there is an unpleasant smell that smells like urine, and I can't tell if it's mold or not. I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep well. No repeats.Whether it's the staff or the owner, it doesn't bother me at all because it's just the reception.

I stayed here for the first time looking forward to the snowy bath. I was impressed by the sincere service from all the staff. I took two private open-air baths, but the cypress bath was closer to the river and was more impressive.For dinner, we were served a lot of dishes that made the best use of the ingredients, mainly duck hotpot, and we were full.The freshly made soba noodles were also great.

I used it on a certain weekday in August 😙...Personally, the most important point when choosing a hot spring inn these days is that you want to enjoy the hot water first! Moreover, you can enjoy it freely and leisurely without having to worry about other customers, and in some cases as many times as you like. ! 😂...Of course, the size of the inn will be smaller☝️ It will be necessary for us to make reservations outside of the peak season☝️...Instead, the size and atmosphere of the room, the cleanliness and spaciousness of the room will be essential. If you want something bigger, go elsewhere! 😂As for food, if you want to eat steak, sashimi is good and fatty, and you also want crab, then go elsewhere! That’s right☝️😂…yes! There's no need for that kind of luxury.Being able to escape from everyday life and go home detoxed from everyday stress☝️😤...Well, I'm sure there are pros and cons, but just ignore them (lol)It's been a long time, but this is Keiyama-san! 🤗...There was a casual, family-like atmosphere that perfectly suited my recent needs.The inside of the hotel and the rooms were well-maintained and clean 😳 This place is probably managed with care by the young proprietress.For the food, the rice and vegetables were carefully prepared by the second son, and the chef, the eldest son, held the knife and made the dishes with ingenuity, and everything was absolutely delicious! 🤗The dining venue was in a private room and served by a friendly young proprietress🤗Next is the highly anticipated private open-air bath, which has an absolutely spectacular view! 😳 I went here 3 times day and night ♨😂At night, I went outside and spoke the Aizu dialect perfectly ✌️ I had a fun chat with the landlady 😚... Yes! On the way home, I received some rice made by my second son as a souvenir! 😳 Thank you for your meal, Aizu rice 🙇💝...It was even better than I imagined 😆 Keiyama-san! 👏✨Is it good?♨Aizu😚Is it good?♨Keizan🌟

I had been curious about it for a long time, but I didn't have a chance to go, so I finally got around to it.I was glad that I stayed at a quaint inn, which was better than I had imagined.The open-air baths, both the rock bath and the cypress bath, were wonderful as you could listen to the sound of the river while looking at the mountain scenery.The hot spring attached to the room had a large open window, so it was nice to be able to enjoy the view.For dinner, the horse sashimi, duck hotpot, and freshly made soba noodles were delicious.I didn't read the reviews because I was looking forward to it, so I found out later that there were no vending machines or water pots, so it would be a good idea to buy drinks before you go.The customer service was all very good.This is an inn I would like to visit again.

I visited on a weekend earlier this month. I happened to be lucky enough to get a room that was hard to reserve. It's a historic building, but the location is great. This is the best location in Ashinomaki Onsen. I have stayed at several other wonderful inns in Ashinomaki, but this is the best and I keep coming back. It's family run and very friendly. The food is safe because they use locally sourced ingredients, and it's well thought out and delicious. The spectacular view from the bath is especially impressive. I want to show off, but it's too popular and I'm having trouble getting reservations.

This is a kind and courteous accommodation. The open-air bath is nice, and the homemade food is fun. The room at the inn was very old, but I thought it had a nice feel that gave me a nostalgic feeling.

The moment I arrived at this inn and saw the building and the entrance, I instantly knew I had hit the jackpot.There are many old inns with Showa retro vibes, and inns that are artificially decorated with Taisho romantic or Japanese modern themes, but Keizan is a beautiful pure Japanese inn with no additives that gives you a true sense of Japan.Not only the entrance, but also the aged stairs and hallways have an atmosphere that is more appropriately called vintage than old.The guest rooms are clean, yet have a pure Japanese style with a nice touch of age, giving you a natural, authentic Japanese feel.What is noteworthy is that there is an old wooden frame window in front of the guest room, which provides a beautiful view of the mountain stream and the greenery of the trees.The combination of the scenery and the wooden frame window is the perfect combination.Each guest room is equipped with a new washlet toilet, Wi-Fi, a newly renovated washbasin, and a new air conditioner, which is a wonderful combination of comfort while retaining a pure Japanese style. It feels like a room.However, if I were to point out an area for improvement, there is no cooler pot with cold water in the guest room or in the changing room.This time, I knew in advance that there were no vending machines in the hotel, so I bought water at a convenience store near the hot spring town, so it was no problem, but I think it would be better to have water in the room. .As for the baths, the private open-air rock bath has a nice view and is spacious, while the indoor bath has a cool atmosphere and is comfortable and spacious enough for the inn's capacity.The best part is the private open-air bath made of cypress.You'll feel like you're bathing in a hot spring tucked away in the middle of the forest, and you'll be able to immerse yourself in an extraordinary world with the spectacular view and open feeling.The beauty of the rectangular cypress bath itself and its surprisingly small size made me feel that it was a one-of-a-kind open-air bath.Also, because of this location, the only physical way to get to the open-air bath is through the stairs, but on the other hand, I felt that it was because of the stairs that I felt that it was possible to enjoy the romantic atmosphere inside the hotel, so this is unique to this inn. It seems foolish to think that there is no elevator = a negative point.The quality of the hot spring water is sulfate spring, which I personally like, so I expected it to have some effect, but the hot water was better than I expected.Even though I don't feel any irritation, my skin feels moisturized, relieves daily fatigue, and feels extremely toned. As expected, it flows straight from the source. As expected from the phantom hot spring town of Ashinomaki.And the meal.Since it's a small, family-run inn, I expected to be served country mom-style cuisine, but I was surprised to find that they served authentic and delicious homemade Japanese food.The food was probably prepared by someone who had extensive training at a well-known Japanese restaurant, and the work is really good.Some excerpts from the menu include high-quality horse sashimi, chunks of crispy Fukushima beef grilled on a copper plate, perfectly cooked salt-grilled sweetfish, and handmade soba noodles.Even though it's in a standard price range, the menu structure and quality is comparable to that of a luxury inn.Also, the fact that the vegetables and rice are made by the family is truly amazing.Breakfast was delicious Japanese food that felt locally produced and handmade, and the young proprietress was in charge of dinner and breakfast. The hotel's kind yet unpretentious response gave me a sense of the simple and unpretentious nature of the Aizu people, and in a good sense, it felt like a country inn, which was soothing.The buildings, the food, the hot springs, the scenery, the simple people of Aizu...I was impressed by everything.I've been to many ryokan so far, but this one was top class and is a treasure of Japan.I hope this wonderful inn continues to exist for many years to come.
