The food is amazing, packed with the owner's special care.The tableware and music take you to another dimension. You can enjoy two types of baths 24 hours a day, so it's irresistible for hot spring lovers.

This is an inn I stay at once or twice a year.When I enter the front door, I say ``I'm home'' and it feels just like my parents' home. My father, mother, Hiroki and his wife are all the best.

A modern Japanese inn with the best cost performance and lots of impressive points! !Bath…I don’t think there will be many overnight guests, so I feel like it will inevitably be a private bath⭐︎This time I chose a cypress bath. It's spacious, clean, and has a slightly open-air feel, which gives it a great sense of style. And the same goes for the toilet, the hand soap, bath shampoo, etc. are all Aesop! Yes, I pumped it properly. I was filled with a luxurious feeling.Serving customers...Actually, on the day of the trip, my wife and I were both hungry and feeling weak, probably due to the food we had been eating on the journey up until that point, and our child was running a fever.If you check in in the evening and explain the situation, will they go to bed right away without making a negative face? They helped me lay out my futon, carried my luggage, and made porridge for dinner based on the time that was right for me, and asked me about other ingredients in detail, and was flexible enough to make changes even on the day of the meal. Thank you for your consideration. Also, since my child couldn't leave his room, he brought rice, seaweed, and miso soup to his room for a late-night snack (T_T)The building...It's not just the term "Japanese modern" that describes it; it's also the atmosphere of the entrance, the handrails on the stairs, and the lighting, chairs, and other furniture that are the focal point. I felt that they were making good use of local products and brands. Your sense of style shines through.Good old (hygienic) inns are nice, but what's even better is that this one has been thoroughly renovated and is very clean.Also, not only was the futon soft and fluffy, but it also had a very soothing scent.There are often popular inns that are modern Japanese and cost 100,000 yen per night, which have increased their brand value and can only accommodate adults.When I compare the atmosphere, taste, and hospitality of Nishikiya-san's inn, I feel that it is a very cost-effective inn.I want to come again! I want to come back to eat horse sashimi, which I couldn't eat due to my physical condition!thank you very much. My husband and I are both impressed.Lastly, to give you a more detailed point, perhaps it was originally an old mansion? I think it was renovated, but the room I'm staying in doesn't have a toilet.Instead, the common toilets contain not only Aesop but also those expensive automatic toilets. There was a sense of cleanliness, and I felt a sense of relief even when I went to relieve myself.Also, the ceiling pillars in the changing rooms and hallways are low in some places, so tall people should be careful. I have over 180, and although I haven't hit it, I thought I might hit my head if I was distracted.Considering the Aesop style, modern Japanese style, and clean atmosphere, I think this is an inn that will suit anyone.Recommended for young couples and women's travelers who understand this style.

I was taken care of on a Friday night when I was traveling with my elderly parents.Both of us were satisfied, or rather moved, by the Aizu local cuisine, with its elegant seasoning and presentation. It was my first time trying Shingoro and I was happy.Although they don't have tempura or sashimi, each dish is unique and leaves a much better impression than a typical course meal. It's a mix of Japanese and Western tastes. Local cuisine is often heavily seasoned, but I think the flavors make the best use of the ingredients. Especially good at using vinegar.The building is beautiful and the interior is stylish. Some of the lighting was probably lights.There are two bathrooms, a cypress bath and a rock bath, as shown in the photo. It happened that there were no other guests on the day of my stay, but since there are only a few rooms, you can rent it out without the stress of waiting.This is a cooking inn for adults.This may be a side note, but since it is a guesthouse, the family that runs it also lives there. Maybe it's a pity that the old man is old and can't quite read the atmosphere of the inn ^^

This is a wonderful inn with local cuisine, Japanese sake, and hot springs.It seems like the rooms have been renovated and changed every year.I wonder if I won't be able to stay alone by the end of 2024...

An inn in Yunokami Onsenkyo.It's a small but clean facility. There are indoor baths, stone baths and cypress baths.For meals, you can enjoy Aizu's specialties.Highly recommended if you want to enjoy a quiet break.It is about 15 minutes from Yunokami Onsen Station.

We had a party and sleepover with our junior high school classmates. The food, the bath, and the view from the window were also great. The heartfelt hospitality and customer service attitude of all the staff remains in my heart.

A hot spring guesthouse that continues to evolve.It's a very tasteful space.I went back six months after my first stay and was surprised to see so many changes.I regret that I don't have any photos, but from the small lobby you can see the owner's passion.The harmonious interior design and numerous accessories in this old folk house are truly the height of Japanese modernity.However, due to the location of Yunokami Onsen, there is a gentle atmosphere that makes you feel like you are back at home.I don't think you'll find an accommodation like this anywhere even if you try to find one.The toilet is shared and the view from the room is not good.Still, this is my favorite inn where I can spend a wonderful time.-Additional note-Since last year, the price has increased to 15,000 yen per night.This is a very delicate point, and in this price range, other accommodation options will come into play.They are very particular about amenities, but to be honest, I don't need AESOP's soaps, etc., so I feel like they should try harder in terms of price.I was a little disappointed that the food didn't taste as good.Overall, I wouldn't say it's expensive, but I no longer feel it's a good value, so I won't recommend it unconditionally to anyone.I also think about traveling every year.

I like old folk houses and thought it was wonderful so I stayed there. Although it is a guesthouse, I was very satisfied with the fact that it was more than a guesthouse.Both baths can be reserved for private use, and the cypress hot springs are spacious and beautiful, and I enjoyed them many times.The shampoo and towels are high-quality, and I wanted to try using them at home, so I searched for them and was surprised at the prices, but they turned out to be very good.I've stayed at many different inns, but I was surprised to find that they had the most variety of dishes.The building and garden were beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.
