Niwa-Saka Station × Stays Popular For Snow-View BathsHighly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

I decided to write a Review for the first time in almost a year. Everything was flawless, and it was an extremely comfortable stay. The handrails for the open-air bath in the Room were thoughtfully placed with careful attention to movement flow, so even with my mobility issues I was able to bathe safely without feeling anxious. In addition, the handrails were made of wood rather than cold metal, and I truly appreciated the consideration shown throughout for guests. Thank you very much for such a blissful time.

The open-air bath in the Room features 100% milky-white free-flowing natural Onsen water, offering a blissful moment as you soak while taking in mountain views and listening to birdsong. A deep sense of satisfaction—“I’ve come to a real Onsen.” I was able to fully enjoy the source water at my leisure while listening to the gentle murmur of the river. At a secluded mountain hot-spring Accommodation, you might expect simple country cooking, but Hige no Ie serves refined creative cuisine. Each dish brings out the best of local ingredients, with exquisitely balanced seasoning that naturally made me want another drink. The forest scenery seen through the mist was magical. I look forward to visiting again.

The Onsen was rich in minerals, leaving my skin smooth and supple. I also enjoyed a private dining experience with delicious dishes cooked over an irori hearth. The pairing with Japanese sake was perfect! Even though it was my first time visiting, I felt nostalgic because I h

The facilities were kept very clean, and the staff were kind and attentive, so we had a wonderful stay. Just as we had heard, the hot spring water quality was excellent, and the open-air bath was fantastic. We would love to visit again. Thank you very much.

I was looking for a hot spring inn in the Tohoku region for Silver Week, but there were hardly any vacancies. I happened to find an opening here and stayed for one night. The reviews were great so I arrived with high expectations, and it exceeded them! - There aren’t many guest rooms, and the atmosphere was calm, so I could relax and unwind. - The room was very spacious and spotless. - Dinner was delicious—especially the Fukushima beef tataki and the jade tofu, which were outstanding. - The female staff member who assisted us at dinner was exceptional (the best service I’ve ever experienced). - Overall, it felt like an incredible value for the price. We booked on short notice to celebrate my mother’s 77th birthday, and it became a wonderful memory. I’d love to visit again!

Kurikoma, we decided to visit here instead due to a sudden change in plans. There was a spacious room that could accommodate all six members of our group, and we thoroughly enjoyed the baths. The staff were cheerful and friendly, making it an undoubtedly fulfilling reunion fo

The front desk, the welcoming entrance, the views, the baths, and the staff were all wonderful. This was my first stay, but it’s a Ryokan I’d love to visit again. A few points I’d like to see improved: Regarding payment and the “Come Again Fukushima” Plan, I thought it would apply, but it turned out that only on-site payment was eligible and online payment was not. The application process is confusing, so it would be helpful if it were made clearer. There is no ramp at Fujita-no-Yu, so I would really appreciate it if one could be installed. I was truly comforted by the staff’s warm and natural greetings. I’m glad I could talk about local topics with the person who took care of our dinner. Thank you very much.

I took my parents with dementia. Since it was a weekday, there weren't many guests, which helped prevent my parents from feeling confused. Moreover, the staff's excellent service allowed us to truly relax. Every time I return home, I take them to an Onsen, and this visit created another wonderful memory. The food was delicious with just the right portions, and the care in preparation was evident. Thanks to all the staff members, we had an enjoyable family time.

From the Room guidance to dinner and breakfast, and even the Onsen and sauna, we were able to spend a very relaxing time. We could also feel the thoughtful care of all the staff, which allowed us to truly unwind. If we have another opportunity, we would love to stay again. Thank you very much.
