Hotel berhampiran TSURUHA DRUG, Aizuwakamatsu

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。

ホテルは東山温泉のどん詰まりに近い場所に（道路も狭いので注意）。駐車場もホテル入口から１００Mくらい離れた場所に。 夕食は川床をチョイス。場所は駐車場よりももう少し行った場所。 テーブルが並んでいるが写真で見るような川べりの席は限られている様で、見ていると 選んだコースにより場所が決まっている感じ。当日はほぼ満席であったが空いている時はどうなのかは不明。 我が家は夫婦そろって大食漢なので少なく感じたが、同年代【６０歳代】は十分な量か？ で料理はといえば、すでに作り置きの料理が置かれており、メインの食材は後から運ばれたが全体的に量はどうなの？ 川から離れていた席ということもあり、全体で評価すると納得する場所・料理ではなかった。 川床は勧めない。 【風呂】 男風呂の露天風呂は川のそばにあり、滝も目の前に。妻に聞くと女風呂は滝がちょっと遠くに見えたとのこと。 もうちょっと時期ずらし紅葉の時期が良かったのかな？

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.

Check-in 時櫃台上放著「請撥打電話」的牌子，對於外國人來說要打電話是滿不方便的事情，不過還好接待人員稍後就從小房間裡出來了。房間湖景還算不錯，電視有點小。溫泉池只開放室內池，而且不大，有點失望。公共設施包含 KTV 跟桌球室，還算不錯，有充足的碗盤及料理台，自備食物或水果很方便！

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。

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.
