Ξενοδοχεία με Iimori Hill, Aizuwakamatsu

We stayed for 2 nights with breakfast. Booked and paid via hotels.com. The hotel is not new but clean and good to stay and it didn't cost much compared with other hotels in this area. The breakfast was a buffet and had many choices. We enjoyed our stay a lot. Sorry for my late review. They might renovate the restaurant so my photo might be outdated.

Very special hotel, I have to say that its outdoor hot springs are really great! Because it is a special experience to see the mountain wall in snow, the interior space of the hotel is also beautiful, it should be an old hotel modification? The part of the room is relatively old-fashioned, the waiter is also XD This hotel is recommended for people who have not lived to experience the experience~ but personally will not run to Aizu XD for it.

We used it for one person per night in June 2020. Due to recent circumstances, breakfast was not a buffet style at the venue, but a form of taking rice balls, bowls, and packed side dishes to the room to eat. Although it is a pack format, I think the amount of breakfast was sufficient and the type of side dishes was good (^^) I thought it was easy to use even if I left early in the morning because I could eat it from 6:30 in the morning. Regarding the room, I heard the sound of the person in the next room biting his nose, but it seems that the walls are thin (-_-;) The cleanliness of the room is perfect, I was able to sleep well until morning in a comfortable space ☆ I could rent a blanket, so I didn't have any trouble with bedding. It was a room on the upper floors, so The view such as Aizuwakamatsu station was good.

It is located along the main street and can be seen from afar, so you can see it immediately. It takes 15 ～ 20 minutes to walk from the station of Aizu Wakamatsu, so it is the best hotel for people who use cars more than trains. It is very convenient to go to Mt. iimori, kamagaga Jo castle and shichikamachi station street within 10 minutes by car. Parking at the cherry blossoms You can park about 90 cars for free, but the parking width is narrow, so it is less 々 tight for large cars (3 number cars). When large cars are next to each other, you need to be careful about the door at the time of boarding and boarding. The breakfast was relatively satisfactory (but orange juice was not 100% juice). It was a twin room, but it is spacious for a business hotel. There is an air cleaner. There is no USB and there are only two outlets attached to the desk (there is no outlet around the bed), so it is inconvenient to charge this or this. It is better to take a tap with multiple mouths. There is a large bath in the bath 1F. There were 6 washing places for men and 5 ～ 6 people in the bathtub. The large bath for women seems to be a washroom for 4 people. There were also 2 coin laundry in the dressing room. The front desk was very kind and polite. The beer of 350 ml of the vending machine (the most squeezed) is 250 yen and conscientious. Also, the exclusive coin received at the front desk at check-in can be used for a soft drink vending machine. I feel like I got something. A few minutes walk (along the main street) is the supermarket ”Lion Doll”.

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.

Dinner at the meal hall was noisy and disliked, so I booked only for breakfast, but the restaurant in the building could only choose ”furnace end Yaki tavern”. There were other restaurants that seemed to be good, but it was a pity that it was closed or only reservation (I don't know how to make a reservation in advance). I entered the 'furnace end Yaki tavern' and sat in the counter seat, but the atmosphere and the dish were not complained, and the set was better than Aizu Ji sake drinker.

The location is very good, the station comes out and turn right in a minute. The room is not big, but it is no problem to open the 28-inch box. There is no big bath in the hotel and I sent coupons for nearby hot springs. The washing and care are very well equipped. The front desk service is very good. I stayed for a day or helped me store my luggage for more than one day. It is a five-minute walk from several convenience stores and meals. The hotel also has several vending machines, the price is impeccable.

From Shirakawa to Aizu / Ashinomaki Onsen on Route 289! The inn is ”Kawaon” in the Marumine annex. We reserved a twin with an open-air bath overlooking the mountain stream of the Aga River. I didn't expect much because there were many inns along the Aizu Nishi Kaido Road, but it was a surprisingly large hotel and was a nice hotel. The purpose was to relax, so I checked in early and enjoyed the open-air bath while watching the snow and the snowy scenery of the valley. Dinner is a Japanese course in a private room. Each is hand-held and delicious above the level. Although it is a big hotel, I rarely passed by other guests because it was a weekday of Corona. It may have been good again. It's a pity that the bath in the main building was under maintenance and could not be used. 々

The parking lot near the building is narrow and you will be directed to park in the farthest parking lot as you arrive. The lobby was clean and the lounge provided complimentary drinks. I didn't have to fill in the check-in myself, and after being guided to the room, I was able to relax in the room immediately after dinner and the inside of the hotel. The room and bathroom were large enough for three people to relax. There were many free drinks in the room, which was great. At first glance, the room looked clean, but only the air purifier and hair dryer were covered in dust. Even though I was instructed to fill the humidifier with water myself, it was still filled with water, so I threw it away and put it back in. The front desk told me that the rock bath is too small to recommend, so I enjoyed the two large baths, but it was a quiet hot spring with a view of the river, and it was comfortable. Since we live in the mountains, we had a lot of vegetables for dinner, but many of the dishes were flavored with soup stock and looked beautiful. Unfortunately, the grilled fish was lukewarm. Because the price was high, I thought the main dish would be Japanese beef, but I was a little disappointed that it was domestic beef. After dinner, my friend had a stomach ache, so I asked the front desk for directions and was told it was a 15 minute walk, so we set off on foot. The temperature was -4 degrees Celsius, it was snowing a little, the ground was frozen solid, and we walked for about 30 minutes trying not to fall. Taxi on the way home. When I looked it up later, the distance was 1.7km. When I told the man at the front desk about it, he answered, ”I always walk in 15 minutes.” I was angry that the remark came out before the apology. How many people do you think can walk a snowy ice van and a 1.7km snowy road in 15 minutes? Still, the bath in the room was too great, so I was more satisfied. Only one person at the front desk was disappointing because there were many good places.
