The man out front helping with parking and the man assisting in the restaurant were exceptional and extremely helpful and friendly. In general, they were all extremely good, given the language barrier. The private bath, with the view of the falls, is wonderful. For anyone over 5' 5" or 175 cm, be aware that the building is 135 yrs old, so has low beams in some areas.

This recently and very tastefully renovated onsen was delightful. With an excellent location in a valley on the fringe of Aizuwakamatsu, but only a short bus or taxi ride away from the centre of town (a regular bus service stops right outside the ryokan) we enjoyed the view of a rapidly flowing stream with beautiful waterfalls and bamboo groves from our room, the lounge, banquet hall and baths. Our room was very spacious, comfortable and nicely furnished, with a small wooden bath, and in excellent condition. Our meals, served in the cavernous and rather characterless "banquet hall" (surprising as the rest of the ryokan. was so tastefully decorated), were excellent, generously sized and delicious. Both the indoor and outdoor baths were superb - large, well appointed, spotlessly clean, atmospheric and well maintained - and all of the staff were very kind and pleasant. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely onsen and thought it offered excellent value for money.

Very traditional, Amazing Onsen, great location. The staff were very friendly despite the language barrier especially in the restaurant. The breakfast and dinner were delicious.

Probably the best place we stayed in the two weeks in Japan. Everything is perfect! Highly recommend for anyone reading this to take the effort to go, be it driving there or taking the train. Plus point it the private onsens are really affordable. Don’t save your money just splurge it on the private onsens they offer!

Love everything in the hotel. The room and facilities are great. The traditional Japanese food (breakfast and dinner) was fabulous and good taste. Easy to access by car with comfortable parking and transfer service between hotel and parking lot.

The hotel had incredible onsens that we enjoyed thoroughly! Despite the staff not speaking any English we felt taken care of and enjoyed our time here. Everyone was friendly, and we loved the remote-feeling of being in nature. You definitely need a car to get around to go explore the rest of Aizuwakamatsu but it's not a problem as they have ample parking near the hotel. They also really helped with getting our luggage sent over to our next hotel (ta-q-bin service), and we appreciated it so much.

Mooi Singapore

The place is beautiful with an amazing scenery in the middle of a rural area. The food was fantastic and staff did their best to accommodate to out needs (kosher, don't eat raw meat or fish) - there was so much food :) Our room was spacious and beautiful with a stunning view to the river and forest. You get free Juice, sorbet and tea for free in the lounge. The onsen was wonderful and beautiful. You can pick a beautiful Yukata to wear inside and outside the facilty (there is also one inside the room, but a simpler one). There's a bus stop of the local loop bus so you can tour the area.
