Great Old Style Japanese Inn (Ryokan). The building is a bit old but really gives traditional Japanese Inn vibes. The owner is friendly, helpful and very accomodating (can speak any language with translator). Most likely one of the few places in Japan left where you can experience this. OFC the building and facilities are old, but they have everything you need including appliances, washing machine, high-speed Wifi etc. Incredible value for money, being very cheap and coming with FREE complimentary breakfast at any time you want. The location is great if you like quietness, beautiful natural landscapes (recommended during Momigi season in Autumn or during snow season in the Winter) and just enjoy the Onsen (thermal bath). When i went there no one else was using the public bath at the same time, and was like having a private onsen. also, the water quality is much better than the much fancier much larger Inns of the areas (which are also 3-4x more expensive)

The owner was extremely kind and attentive and gave lots of good recommendations about places to visit in the city and nearby. The bath was really hot and the breakfast was consistently good. The room felt fairly private and spacious. Simple and retro in a good way :)

The facility is a bit old, sometimes rough around the edges and well-worn, but felt sufficiently clean for the most-part, and good for the budget-conscious traveller. The place is in an area with lots of onsen on the outskirts of Aizu Wakamatsu, so I would say it's most easily accessible by car- might be difficult just by walking or public transit?

Very comfortable bedding, fully in Japanese-style. Excellent home cooking for breakfast, freely refill rice and miso soup as much as you want. Very accommodating hosts, helped arranged a trip back to Aizu-Wakamatsu station in the early morning to catch the train back to Koriyama. Amazing hot spring water to soak in! They provide a kotatsu, stove and heater for the rooms during the snowy winter.

Nothing in particular, just expect creaky floors and pretty steep stairs of a nearly 70 years old building.

Lovely comfortable , warm traditional ryokan. The onsen was wonderful, as were the breakfasts and the kind and charming host.

A bit hard tofind. A name in romanji would help.ie Niko Ryokan

The owner was so friendly with us, he even brought us with his car to the station. The onsen was not big but very good, and the Japanese breakfast was delicious.

Not very clean, but acceptable.

The staff were wonderful - the two owners were very friendly, and one of them speaks English very well! The breakfast was great, and the location relative to the onsen was very good.

The doors to rooms are kind of thin, so I could hear the guy next to me talking on his phone for 2 hours straight.

The owner is very kind. The hospitality was just amazing. The owner even dropped me to the station with his car when I checked out. Breakfast was amazing too. I loved the vintage vibe of the ryokan. It was very aesthetic. I’d go here again!!!

Wonderful traditional Ryokan atmosphere, delicious breakfast, and relaxing onsen. But most of all, the hosts were extremely kind and generous - Sato-san not only brought me to the station, but also added natto to the breakfast after I told him that I enjoyed it. Thanks for an excellent stay!

Breakfast and an onsen Friendly host Great value

It's a very old building and ryokan so a few rough edges and not the cleanest but a great atmosphere like staying at your grandparents home

quite rare Onsen-ryokan originally built 100 years ago and still keeps its 60‘s interior and service style. my stay was full of nostalgia, thank all guys who support this hotel.

this isn’t a non smoker hotel, which is quite pity!
