The location is simply outstanding. From anywhere on the property, I could see Mt. Bandai beyond Yairoku Pond, and I was moved again and again. In addition, the service, dinner and breakfast, open-air bath, cleanliness, and the lounge’s ease of use were all excellent and comfortable. I’m glad I chose Urabandai Kogen Hotel for my commemorative trip. The nature that changes with each season must be wonderful as well, so next time I’d love to visit in a different season. Thank you very much.

We stayed with my parents and husband—four adults in total. There was a complimentary alcohol service available until 10:00 p.m. (there was even beer in the Room refrigerator!), and the all-inclusive drinks with meals included a great selection of alcohol. We could even enjoy sparkling wine at breakfast—perfect for my father and me, as we both love drinks. Every summer, we stay one night at an Accommodation in Fukushima to coincide with my mother’s visit home, and my father really loved this place, saying, “Let’s stay here again next time—let’s make it our regular.” From the bath to the lobby to the Room, everything about the interior design and use of space was wonderful no matter where you looked. The staff were also warm and welcoming while still polished and professional. It was our first trip gifting my parents a stay, so it became a truly memorable experience for us. Thank you very much.

I have been staying here about twice a year for the past few years, and every time it has been completely satisfying. Dinner is French cuisine, and everything—from the meat and fish to the dessert—was delicious. The freshly baked bread was truly excellent, and I had seconds. There is also reasonably priced wine, so I had a very pleasant stay. Breakfast was delicious as well. The Room was luxurious and lovely; however, it was a bit disappointing that the refrigerator did not cool very well. The Onsen was wonderful too, with both an open-air bath and an indoor bath at just the right temperature for me, plus a sauna and a cold plunge—an excellent experience overall. I’m looking forward to my next visit.

It was busy because it was during the summer vacation season, but the bath was spacious, so it didn’t feel too crowded. The food was delicious, but I felt our table was a little far away. Overall, it was good!

I didn’t see everything, but the building was clean, and it was great that they offered a welcome drink (including alcohol) as well as evening drinks (I fell asleep and couldn’t use it). The lobby also has an Akabeko, which really gives you a sense of Fukushima. There is both an

This was our first time staying here. They offered a welcome drink, and we chose the BBQ—everything was made with excellent ingredients! At night, the starry sky was beautiful, and it became a wonderful memory for our whole family. We’d love to come again.

Two private hot spring baths, available 24 hours when open, are exceptional. One is an outdoor bath and the other is indoor. The outdoor bath is a bit small, so it might feel slightly cramped for two people, but the atmosphere is fantastic. The water flow is abundant. It's also convenient that you can check the availability of the baths from your room. The room had a private bathroom and toilet, but with only seven rooms in this accommodation and two private baths available, having a bathroom in the room might not be necessary. It would be nicer if that space were used to make the room larger instead. The room features a large TV with BS channels and thoughtfully placed USB outlets throughout—likely added later—which are very convenient. Meals have standard portions and variety but stand out for their excellent seasoning and creative presentation. Ingredients seem carefully selected as well. The wine selection appears to be sourced internationally by the owner; even as amateurs, we found both red and white wines delightful. The owner enjoys chatting with guests, making it enjoyable for those who like conversation. For those less comfortable with interaction, there's no overly intrusive approach typical of some accommodations like pensions. Pricing is reasonable, offering high overall satisfaction—a wonderful accommodation worth revisiting. One question: Is ordering at least one drink mandatory during meals? If so, it might be better to clarify this policy upfront since some non-drinkers may feel uncomfortable finding out on-site—even though soft drinks are available.

The location was excellent, and the Onsen and meals were wonderful. We were also lucky to have great weather—thank you for helping make our stay such an enjoyable and memorable time.

We visited looking forward to the meals and the in-Room Onsen. The food was even more delicious than we imagined, and the attentive hospitality was wonderful—we enjoyed everything from the first appetizer to the final dessert. The next morning’s breakfast also made us happy, as we could enjoy a variety of dishes little by little. If we had been going straight home that day, I would have loved to buy some bread to take with us. The in-Room bath had a generously sized tub, so we could soak and relax at length. We also enjoyed both the open-air bath and indoor bath in the private Onsen. The Room felt comforting, like staying at someone’s home, and we were able to truly unwind. The kitchen is well equipped, so you could cook for yourself (though there was absolutely no need). Personally, I was especially glad that the refrigerator was full-sized—I could easily fit an entire boxed birthday cake inside. The chilled water in that refrigerator had a subtle sweetness too; I ended up loving it and drank it so quickly that I had to get up multiple times during the night to use the bathroom (laugh). I’d love to come back for the winter gratin as well, but I hesitate at the thought of snow piling up as high as 2 meters. We’ll choose our season carefully, but we will definitely return!!
