Tsuchiyu Onsen × Stays Popular For Snow-View BathsHot springHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan

We visited by car from Tokyo as a late summer vacation trip for the two of us. This was a wonderfully hospitable inn, and we were able to spend our time in true comfort from arrival to check-out. The in-room bath was great, and the large public bath also had a lovely atmosphere. Everything was impeccably cleaned and very hygienic, so we could relax with complete peace of mind. Above all, the dishes made with local ingredients were delicious, and the friendly head chef’s personality was wonderful as well. We’d love to try the cuisine in another season, so we will definitely visit again! We have stayed at various small hot spring ryokan before, but this was the first place in Japan that made us think, “We absolutely want to come back!” Thanks to the attentive service from the staff and their thoughtful care throughout our stay, it became a truly heartwarming trip to Fukushima. Thank you very much.

It was a truly satisfying day in every way. All four private Onsens were wonderful, and we enjoyed them right up until one hour before check-out. We were also happy with the wide variety of complimentary drinks available at any time. Of course, every dish was delicious, and we especially appreciated the strong local character of the cuisine. This is an Accommodation we would love to visit again as soon as possible.

It was my first time visiting Tsuchiyu Onsen, and since it was located in Oku-Tsuchiyu Onsen, a bit further into the mountains from the onsen town, I was able to enjoy the soothing sound of the river and the fresh mountain air, which was absolutely wonderful. The staff at the accommodation were all polite, kind, energetic, and warm-hearted; I felt truly healed by their hospitality. My son was deeply impressed by the tea incense burner in our room and delightedly mentioned how its natural fragrance was much better than detergents or sprays like Risesh. The meals were delicious no matter what we had; you could feel they were carefully prepared with great hospitality. Please continue doing your best with your lovely cats!

I visited here as a child, and the exterior hasn’t changed. It’s an old building, but the inside is very well cleaned and everything was spotless—especially the wooden hallways, which were shiny everywhere. The Onsen baths—the semi-open-air cave-style bath and the family bath with plenty of yunohana—were very hot, and I personally couldn’t get in without adding cold water. The large public bath was just slightly on the hot side. The meals were reasonably tasty—a typical mountain Ryokan menu with a bit more wild vegetables than usual. The grilled fish with soba miso in the photo was especially delicious. Because of the antenna, TV reception wasn’t good, so I’d really like this to be fixed. I heard this Ryokan has been operating for over 400 years, and I hope it continues for many years to come.
