Find Hotels in Aizuwakamatsu, Japan

This hotel is really near the Aizuwakamatsu Train station so it is very convenient. Behind the hotel there is a minimarket which you can buy groceries or food at very cheap price. There is an onsen behind the hotel too. Nearby are some restaurant which serve good yakitori! (BBQ chicken and meat) Have been using this hotel for years so i would recommend this to others!

Close proximity to the train station Impeccably clean Japanese-style room for three people was spacious and futons were comfortable Attentive staff Staff gladly called a day ahead and made a taxi reservation to the train station for my family of six Japanese-style breakfast was delicious

In a city full of history, this hotel is very easy to find on the main road from the train station and only a few minutes walk. I have stayed here twice and both rooms were very quiet and clean. One of the best value for money hotels I have used in Japan (out of 70).

It was my second day in Japan, and the staff made me feel welcome. I couldn't communicate well with most of the staff because they all only spoke Japanese, except one who could speak some English. The entire staff made me feel as though I were their son, which was nice to feel some motherly love. The location itself is maybe a 15 minute walk from the train station and about a 30 minute walk to Tsuruga castle. The bath room was clean, amazing, and relaxing. You can lock the door so you could bathe privately, but maybe it would be different if the ryokan was fully booked. I believe you would just reserve a time in that case. The dinner was delicious. The chef asked me via google translate if I would like to try the specialty of the area - horse meat. Of course I'd like to! They kept asking if I was certain because I would later on find out it would be horse sashimi. Delicious nonetheless. There were many different small dishes to eat, which was nice since I'm only familiar with the popular Japanese dishes in the US. The chef even packed me some rice balls for breakfast because I had to leave early the next morning! I want to ramble more, but I think I've said enough about their hospitality.

All the rooms have a beautiful view over a small river and the trees covering the opposite side of the valley. The night was splendidly quiet. The room was large and comfortable . The rotenburo have a view on a small fall. The staff did not speak english but they were able to communicate all necessary informations, in particular the lady at the excellent breakfast, who gave us a grand tour of all the buffet. We stayed only one night, I wish we had stayed more. On the other hand, it is far from the center of Aizu, so a car is needed.

I stayed here with a friend for one night. Not much English is spoken here, no Internet in the room (only wi-fi connection is in the lobby) and it is a very long journey to get to the hotel! We missed the only-once-a-day hotel shuttle bus from Aizuwakamatsu Station so we thought of taking a taxi from Ashinomakionsen Station which is the nearest station to the hotel. When we reached Ashinomakionsen Station, the friendly locals there somehow helped us call the hotel who then came to pick us up! The staff were nice and attentive, they really tried their best despite the language barrier. We had a traditional Japanese room in the older wing which is huge with a beautiful view of the mountain and river. The hotel itself is grand too and the onsen probably ranks as one of the best in Japan. Dinner was buffet-style with a huge selection from soba, sushi, tempura, pasta and even horse meat (local specialty!) which I dare not eat. We managed to book a body massage and esthetic treatment (essential oil facial treatment/massage) which was a great way to end the night! Next day's breakfast is again buffet-style with a good selection and by check-out time, the shuttle bus dropped us at Ashinomakionsen Station upon special request (because they normally drop their guests at Aizuwakamatsu Station) since we wanted to see the famous cat stationmaster. This place is a great retreat to get away from it all and I really hope to come back in the future since my brief stay felt way too short.

The stay was great. The hotel is huge and largely catered to Japanese, probably because it was not a well-known tourist location. The shuttle service helped because the hotel was a little out of the way but it is still not very convenient considering we had a few luggages between us. The hotel is a couple of bus stops away from the train station. We had fun at the breakfast and dinner buffets, but were a little disappointed that the meal ends rather early (both at breakfasts and dinners). Would still recommend the hotel, as it is value for money.

The friendliness of the owner family and the heritage they keep in running this Ryokan makes you coming back. It’s easy to get there by car, otherwise slightly harder. It has its own onsen, but the neighborhood has a lot of top notch onsens if you prefer more fancy facilities. Breakfast was typically ryokan style. Twonlical restaurants provide you with enough delicious Japanese varieties for dinner. Want to come back one day!

I feel at home with hi-speed internet and clean design. I like public bathroom. For skiing on several mountain steps and historical city, I recommend this hotel. Easy by walk to see the beautiful castle. You will like to take the train with mountain view and easy to take the train to visit the large lake at Inawarashiro city and suitable for skiing in winter.

This was one of my favorite hotels from my last trip to Japan! I highly recommend it to anyone in the Aizuwakamatsu Area! Not too expensive but very nice and welcoming and they had someone that was fluent in English! I had a wonderful stay and highly recommend!!
