Hotel berhampiran Matsumoto Kiyoshi(Drugstore Aizunishiwakamatsu), Aizuwakamatsu

I stayed overnight in a very compact but also very practical room with everything I needed. The space was well-designed with a good-sized desk which had three powerpoints above it (yay! doesn't happen everywhere), so easy to plug in tablet and accessories, and also charge phone and camera battery. Small fridge and tv, humidifier, electric jug, nighshirt and complimentary slilppers. Lovely ceramic tea mugs. I did find the waste bins a little small (no recycling but that's often the case in Japanese hotels). Wi fi worked well, and there was a radio. The comfortable bed had a nice flat pillow and lighting console conveniently placed. The bathroom was small but there was a good deep bath. Interesting city and mountain views from the room. The hotel lobby was attractively decorated. The location was conveniently close to the JR Station as well as eateries and some shops. Good value, and would stay again.

We visited Aizuwakamatsu at the national holiday weekend so there were limited options to us in this famous onsen town, Hagishiyama. We wanted a more modern hotel, and while the shots of the room look good on their website, the reality is that it is much smaller than I had expected. Though the room looked new, the bathroom was a disappointment, small and shabby. With two large beds in the room, that leaves little space for moving around. And they try hard to squeeze all essential items of an onsen hotel room into the smallest space possible, including placing the vanity unit in the living room opposite the sleeping platform, sharing space with a kettle and drinking water glasses. There is a shoe stand and a folding screen in-between the toilet and bathroom, which is hugely strange and inconvenient. Ours is a 12-tatami room, which I expect would be good for 3 people, but the reality is that it is so cramped that one would not want to spend much time in the room. Perhaps that’s the reason why the hotel provided a lot of public sitting areas. Yes, for guests to admire the magnificent view of the mountain stream, but also to stay out of the uncomfortable room. The room was a huge disappointment but there are some nice sides of the hotel. Dinner was really good; we had window seats facing the waterfall and the Aizu beef was very delicious. The public onsets, especially the outdoor ones, are nice, situated just next to the mountain stream. All in all, for the US680 I paid for three, it was not good value for money.

nice staff, wifi connection is good. got 2 floors of hot spring, they have sister hotel with another 2 near by, so you can use their hot spring too. the location to the city is around 8 mins drive. it's convient. the breakfast is good , each dish they tell you the ingredients, but just a little sad that If they can also write the English on top. overall, this was a great stay .

建物の近くの駐車場は狭く着いて来た順に遠くへの駐車場に自分で停めて来る様に案内されます。 ロビーは綺麗でラウンジのドリンク無料サービスが充実してました。 チェックインは自分での記入はなく部屋に案内されてから夕飯と館内の案内をして頂いたのですぐに部屋でゆっくりする事ができました。 部屋もお風呂も広く3人でもゆったりできる程でした。 部屋のフリードリンクも多く至れり尽くせりでした。 一見部屋は綺麗でしたが空気清浄機とドライヤーだけが埃まみれでした。 加湿器も自分で水を入れてくださいとあったにも関わらず水が溜まっていたので自分で捨てて入れ直しました。 岩風呂は狭いのでお勧めしませんとフロントに言われたので大浴場を二ヶ所堪能しましたが川が見える静かな温泉で居心地が良かったです。 山なので夕飯は野菜多めですが出汁が効いている物が多く見た目が美しかったです。 焼き物の魚がぬるかったのが残念でした。 値段が高かったのでメインは和牛かと思ったら国産牛というのも少し残念でした。 夕飯後友人が腹痛を起こしたのでフロントで行き方を訊いた所徒歩15分との事で歩いて出発。 気温マイナス4度、雪が少し降る中地面はバリバリに凍り、転ばない様に歩いて30分近く。 帰りはタクシー。後で調べると距離1.7キロ。 その事をフロントの男性に言うと、 「自分はいつも15分で歩いて来てます。」 との解答。 謝罪よりも先にその発言が出てきた事に腹が立ちました。 雪が降るアイスバンと積雪の道1.7キロを15分で歩ける人がどれだけいると思ってるのでしょうかね？ それでも部屋のお風呂が最高過ぎたので満足の方が大きかったです。 良い所が多かっただけにフロントの1人の対応だけが残念でなりませんでした。

Keikokubinado sits high above a bend of the Aga River in it's beautiful forested valley. Friendly staff offer the yukata/tatami/onsen experience in traditional rooms in a somewhat confusing complex layout of two separate buildings. If you do not have a meal plan, there is an excellent izikaya bar just 100m away that opens at 18h30, and very good self-serve coffee is available in the lobbies until 10h00. Complimentary shuttle van service from AshinomakiOnsen ” Cat StationMaster” station on the AizuTadami line. I enjoyed it so much I'm rebooking for next year.

這是間設計很棒的旅館 整間店充滿日本及柳津文化氣息 看到滿滿的赤べこ真的會很想包回家呢😂 且座落只見川旁，日夜風景也都很棒，是個令人想再來的旅館。

Trip.comさんの安さの秘密は、建物の中でも低層階端っこだからです。眺望をそこまでこだわらない方は良いと思います。 コメント欄に朝食を付けて欲しいとお伝え願いますと書き込みましたが無駄でした。 ホテルそのものはとても好きです。

有車站接駁，一出火車站就能明確找到接駁巴士，非常方便，到了飯店後服務人員裡立馬上前接待，很周到，提出的相關需求也盡力協助處理，房內空間寬敞舒適，乾淨整潔，如果沒安排其他戶外行程，在飯店裡設施應有盡有也適合閒逛一整天喔！

Living in Japan as a vegetarian for many years I am used to having to tough it out at hotels. Although there are exceptions, the majority of these facilities in Japan are still in the dark ages when it comes to vegetarian food options and unfortunately this hotel is no exception. This was our second time to stay here and we had hoped in vain that the food selection would be better. Shame on us, yes, but shame on the hotel even more, in my opinion. First, the positives. It is in a great location: you step out of the hotel and you are practically launched on the Goshiknuma trail. If you have a car it is easy to drive to nearby starting points for various excellent hiking options. If you don't have a car you are very limited in how many hiking spots you can access. The staff is friendly and helpful. The previous time we stayed, during the pandemic, there was a near-fluent in English tri-lingual front desk staff member who was great. We don't really need that, however, so I cannot say that this time we encountered any English speaking staff. The room was clean and comfortable. On our previous stay we had a gigantic room for less than what we paid this time but that was during the pandemic when hotels were practically begging for business and we were also able to avail ourselves of the government subsidy program for travel, which has long been discontinued. Anyway, we were happy enough with the room. The onsen is good: spacious and properly maintained. This facility is actually two joined hotels and if you stay on this side (pricier and with nicer rooms) the onsen is less crowded and nicer. The food was another story. Both the first time we stayed and this time, we opted for the buffet meal package: breakfast and dinner. Breakfast is passable if you are lacto-ovo as I am and not super strict, meaning you can drink miso soup that will doubtlessly have at least some fish stock as part of it. Dinner is, frankly, pathetic. There is nothing of substance for vegetarians unless you consider a salad, rice, pickles, and a couple of fried vegetables to be a meal. I do not. Virtually every dish had some meat or fish in it. Why does the pasta have to have bacon? Why does the stir fry vegetables have to have chicken? This hotel is far from the only one that does this, but in 2023 is it not possible to have one or two entree type offerings entirely meat or fish free? The buffet is gigantic and has huge variety but all of that variety is thoroughly saturated with meat and fish. Total fail. We will not stay here again, regretfully. Note: the buffet was equally poor during our first stay and it was entirely on us that we hoped there would be some improvement a few years later. Like I said, shame on us. That does not excuse the hotel from not providing better food options for vegetarians.
