  Hotel with great hot springs

  The hotel located at outskirts of Aizuwakamatsu with only 15 min bus ride from the train station. Higashiyama Onsen is well known hot spring district and the hotel is located at the entrance of this district. The hotel has large hot springs with nice river views, and a few private hot springs outside. Food was excellent. Raw horse meat is local delicacy and I requested to replace it with something else for my husband who does not eat horse meat. The hotel was happy to provide roast beef Sushi, instead. It was very delicious. I highly recommend this place - atmosphere, food and friendliness.

  A good local hotel/modern ryokan in Fukushima

  We travelled to Fukushima primarily to view the Cherry Blossoms. Our first hotel in this area was the Shosuke-no-Yado Takinoyu. We were in a large group and our guide helped us with the check-in arrangements. After our keys were distributed, we hopped onto one of the two lifts and went top to the sixth floor bound for our room. You may like to know that there are some English speaking front office staff. Some of the other staff understand English. While we were in the hotel, there was Thai and Chinese guests there too. Our room was located midway along a long corridor. From the outside, the hotel looks like 3 buildings that have been joined together. Our room was spacious with modern mattresses on raised tatami flooring. A large tatami style table sat at the opposite end facing the window. The window opens up to the sound of the fast flowing river down below. There is a flat screen TV that only shows local Japanese TV stations. Wifi can be received in the room. Room snacks is left on the table and is refilled daily. A large wardrobe is near the tatami table, and in here, you will find your Yukuta for going to the onsen. A sink on a large table sits in front of the beds. A hot water dispensing flask with tea making facilities sits on the table, as well as men's and women's soaps and moisturisers. Near the door to the room, there is a typical Japanese fibre glass shower and bathtub. On the opposite side of the room door is the toilet with all the usual Japanese toilet functions. We had breakfast and dinner in the hotel and they were generally OK. Breakfast is Japanese buffet and in the banquet hall. Lots of variety and all self-service. As our group was quite big, we booked a private room and had our Kaiseki served there. Food was plentiful and generally quite good standard. There is an Onsen on site and this can be enjoyed before or after dinner, and even before breakfast. Ice-cream, drinks and beer is served for free outside the onsen. There is no gym on site, so you will have to get that fix outside.

  An Excellent Modern Luxury Ryokan

  Very new and modern Japanese Ryokan style. Nice and clean. Great view of water fall next to the hotel. There are 4 public baths with a stunning view of waterfall; 2 indoors and 2 outdoors. You can also reserve a private onsen at some extra cost. Worth all the Yen. Highly recommended.

  Good location, good food, good service, rubbish hotel

  The location and publicity material for this hotel hold out considerable promise not much of which is met by the reality. Yes, it does occupy a nice location at the foot of a lush gorge beside a cascading stream at the entry to the Higashiyama hots springs precinct. Yes, the service in Japanese is very attentive and, assuming you take the gourmet dining option, the quality and variety of meals is quite good. But thats where the compliments end. The facility is a shabby three stars at best with some lapses that trash two or more of those. The good: reception was polite and welcoming in Japanese. Our Modern Semi-Western Style Room with Bathroom and Toilet* (#614) was clean and adequately roomy with a delightful view over the stream and across the luxuriantly forested gorge. Everything expected was there and it mostly worked as expected. The included WiFi worked well on all our devices. We took the Gourmet Plan which included buffet breakfasts and table dhote dinners. Both meals, taken in the hotels OHara-tei restaurant were well serviced and good quality examples of the local cuisine. *The hotels description, not mine. The not so good: except for some modest competence at the front desk, English is a foreign language elsewhere in the hotel so brush up on your Japanese or sign language. If you arrive by car then there is no parking in this part of the Higashiyama gorge so you need to use the hotels shared carpark about 500 metres down the road. A shuttle bus operates between the carpark and hotel but the whole process is a grind, especially when checking in and out, and even more so when its raining. Apart from having in-suite bathroom facilities, a Semi-Western room here makes some concessions to the Western preference for sitting and sleeping on furniture as opposed to the floor. In this case the beds are unsprung mattresses residing on a raised section of flooring which were not the most comfortable places to sleep. The rest of the furniture was a mixed bag nothing of which offered a place to lounge in comfort. The bad: our Modern room was anything but. Yes, it had evidently benefited from the same air-brush renovation that has kept the rest of the hotel on life support over the last decade or so, but there was way too much of the original blight showing through and in some places the quality of renovation workmanship was atrocious. Paint appeared to be the dominant media used to (unsuccessfully) disguise our rooms previous incarnation but it looked as if the painter had abandoned the task midway through the job and never returned. No attempt had been made to coordinate the haphazard furnishings much of which were worn and dilapidated. The ugly: the bathroom arrangements were shambolic. The toilet cubicle was probably the best of this disparate ensemble, but we had to move a shoe stand and a folding screen to even get to it. The vanity suite, which shared space with a boiling water dispenser, took up station in the middle of the room opposite the sleeping platform and between a closet and an oversized refrigerator. In yet another corner of the room the shower/bath suite was an ancient relic the renovations to which were limited to a coat of battleship grey paint that appeared to have been applied with a broom and is now faded and parting company with the scruffy beige original. To add insult to injury, the shower water pressure was pathetic and you need the patience of a statue waiting for the hot water to arrive - in what is supposed to be a hot springs hotel.

  I Love This Hotel

  I love this hotel. Why? 1. Everyplace is so clean. 2 Employees are well trained, friendly and polite. 3 beddings seemed to be incense put in and I felt relaxing 4 There is waterfall in their location and though you can see it near the entrance but it would be much much better to stay there and enjoy hot springs seeing the waterfall 5 There are several hotspings and they have soft spring quality and you can have draft beer free after the bath( a cup per person though) 6 Good dinner and breakfast . I was excited to see very famous local Sake on their wine list which is very rare.(The name is ''Hiroki ''for your information) 7 A bus stop is in front of the hotel Only one exception is that they have only one elevator near the entrance and the hotel extends along the river so if you stay in the fartherst room from the entrane, you have to walk a long way to the elevator. So I advise you that you should select rooms closer to the entrance if you can.
