The location. Central and accessible to most area around town.
Staff is very friendly and helpful. Rooms are big and super clean. The accommodation is quite traditional Japan type. We enjoyed our stay.

All good but if they prepare regular size toast bread, that would be good.

Dinner and breakfast buffet was pretty good with snow crab buffet for dinner during the winter. We were spoilt for choices but found that the desserts were the real deal and it was all so delicious. Overall, the meals were acceptable for buffets and we would have it again if we have to. Highlight of the stay would definitely be the onsen for my family, as they switch both male and female bath house the next morning. Entrance to the onsen were beautiful as well. We also enjoyed ourselves in the game room as there were quite a few games including mario racekart which me and my wife had a superb time at.
Boasting an open-air bath and views of mountain, Hanare Matsushimakaku is a ryokan set in a historic building in Aizuwakamatsu, 3.3 km from Mount Iimori.

The vibes of the place. Very pretty place overall. Waterfall sound next to room. Big suite. Worth the price.
Service is good, staff tried their best to communicate with limited english.
Local tour bus service drops directly outside of building so no worries about transport.

Aizu is a perfect spot for a 2-3 day trip. I liked particularly the castle, which is just gorgeous now in winter. And I bet it is beautiful also in other seasons as well. On top of that I enjoyed other attractions too.

This is a great place, and all the sites are in a roughly 10 kilometer circle from the station. I put my suitcase in a locker at the station for the day, then rented a bicycle for ¥500 from a shop 800 meters from the station. (Turn right at the street in front of the station. The shop is on the left 800 meters down.)
I realized later that there is a tourist bus that stops at all the sites and has a running commentary on where you are. That would have been more practical for me. The bus costs ¥600 yen for a day pass, which can be bought at the bus station in front of the train station.

Aizu Wakamatsu is a nice place.
Aizu Wakamatsu is a nice place. It’s not very touristy but the tourist bus is a great way to get around and see all the main sights. One day wasn’t long enough. I think two days would be sufficient. There weren’t many restaurants open during lunchtime

Very short visit prior to a ski week.
Very short visit prior to a ski week. It is conveniently located and easily accessible via trains or buses. The city isn't too big and explorable on foot. Locals are very friendly and helpful. We had such a wonderful time at a local Izakaya even with our little Japanese. We were recommended a few dishes and they were all so delicious.

Loved Tsuruga Castle (Teahouse garden ticket does not include tea drink) and Sazaedo Temple (escalator ramp is worth it). Oyakuen Gardens is not worth the entrance fee during late fall and winter (herb garden is dead). A Ryokan and onsen experience is a must at Aizuwakamatsu (Shosuke no Yado Takinoyu was awesome). Also made our own Akabeko (red cow) at Akabeko Maker Bandokoro. All in all, a wonderful 1 night trip to get away from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo traffic. P.S. Try a full size order of Sauce Katsudon at Medetaiya (I dare you).

Aizu is a town filled with rich history as a prominent Japanese political figure once lived here. Those who like ancient Japanese history should check out the castle, the graves of the brave warriors, to learn about what took place in this town during the Warring State period of ancient Japan.
This is a gorgeous Japanese inn (Ryokan). The lady who runs it speaks good English and is very kind, friendly and helpful, as are the staff. The room was beautiful and I slept comfortably on my futon after a dip in the private bath. I had breakfast in the morning and it was one of the best Japanese breakfasts I’d had and so beautifully presented. The hotel is a 15 min walk from the station and therefore, within a 15 min walk there are quite a few places to eat. The owner can help you with all the recommendations of Aizu Wakamatsu too.
This is an impressive onsen hotel. All rooms face the natural mountain side above a fast moving river. The lobby is exceptional with live traditional shamisen music played nightly before the dinner hour. A river of water cascades through the ground floor of the lobby which adds the sound of rustling water. Guests may have (optional reserved) dinner meals in rooms near the moving water. All in all the lobby, onsen, food, and staff make for a relaxing location. The river views in any season are amazing.
We liked the cozy atmosphere of the hotel. The onsen on the top floor had beautiful views - we were lucky enough to be surrounded by a beautiful winter landscape.
The lounge with free drinks (including sake and umeshu) were a nice touch! And we did enjoy the buffet breakfast and dinner a lot - the quality surpassed our expectations for a hotel buffet. It was really yummy and plenty of choice, always fresh.
Very nice place for families or if you want to explore the cute little city of Aizu-wakamatsu
The staff were extremely helpful - the free shuttle service was very convenient, and on one day when we were walking back to the hotel in the rain the driver recognised us and stopped to pick us up! The food was delicious with a great range of choice, the onsen was beautiful, the location was great. Just a great stay! The room was a little smaller than I expected, but very comfortable with everything we needed.
There are three bath options which all came with lovely views! Also, both meals were outstanding. Despite being a buffet service, the breakfast had abundant high quality options. I love that they really stuck to their theme of using Aizu ingredients - a proud hotel with pride for their local culture is something admirable.
The hotel is very handy for the train station and local buses. Part of a chain, it's more functional than luxurious, but perfectly clean and comfortable, with friendly and efficient staff. Recommended for anyone staying in Aizu Wakamatsu - which has its fair share of sights - for a day or two.
We stayed in the annex, in a room overlooking the Aga River. It was incredibly beautiful to see that view every day. The room was well-equipped, with comfortable futon, yukata, bathroom, fridge and onsen amenities.
The large public bath and rotenburo in the main hotel were excellent.
The hotel is located near the rail station. There are 7-11’s and Family Mart stores close by for ATMs. Be sure to have cash on hand for the temple entrance fees and restaurants. The staff were courteous and efficient. The hotel is clean.
I liked that I could book a private bath. Breakfast was also delicious. Our room was big and comfortable. Ah, and we were given yukata and we were also encouraged to wear them inside the hotel. All in all a great experience.
Hotels offers a shuttle from the train station. Located by a nice river/waterfall. Unfortunately we haven't had time to explore the nature around. Hotel rooms are spacious and comfortable. The onsen are is pretty nice.
15 mins walk from Aizuwakamatsu station. Very accessible if you have a car with you. Very good value if you go on off-season (early August because it was blazing hot). Amazing, authentic Japanese food. Large rooms.
A nice place to stay while you discover the Samurai City Aizu-Wakamatsu
The hotel is close to the Train Station and the Bus Station.
The staff are nice.
