บันดาอิซัน ออนเซ็น × โรงแรม·เรียวกังที่มีคะแนนความพึงพอใจสูง

I stayed during the Obon holiday and had a wonderful time. I’ll make another Reservation!

The service exceeded the price, and we were very satisfied with the meals. The evening events—Aibase! and Odoransho—were interactive and a lot of fun. We’d love to visit again in a different season. They also offer a great selection of local Fukushima sake, which is wonderful for anyone who enjoys Japanese sake.

This was our first time staying here on a summer vacation trip to Fukushima. Thanks to the clear, concise explanations and easy-to-follow guidance inside the Facility, we were able to move around smoothly throughout our stay. The afternoon lounge offers light bites for adults and snacks for children, making it perfect for a short break. The Onsen lounge had peach leaf tea that seemed great for hydration, Aizu rice tea, and warm amazake as well. While the kids relaxed in the hammock, adults could truly unwind too. We were surprised by the wide selection of alcohol in the evening lounge. And every snack was delicious! Many of our favorites were also available at the shop on the first floor, which was another nice touch. Not only the front desk staff, but also those handling cleaning and restocking in the Onsen lounge were very kind and pleasant. We would love to stay here again when we travel to Fukushima.

Although this was a No Meals Included stay, you can enjoy coffee and other drinks in the lobby in the evening/night and in the morning. It’s a good idea to buy food and other items in advance at a nearby convenience store. The coffee is incredibly delicious! I later realized you can also buy the beans (I think you need to ask the day before). The Onsen has only an indoor bath, but the water itself was excellent. Rather than just staying overnight in winter, I’d like to come back and relax in the Onsen. Amenities do not include bath towels, so be sure not to forget to bring your own.

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.

We stayed as a family during the Obon holiday. It was a charming Japanese-style accommodation with a cozy atmosphere, beautifully decorated with carefully selected furnishings, and impeccably clean hallways that sparkled! Since it accommodates only two groups per day, it was quiet, and we enjoyed having the onsen all to ourselves. Dinner featured plenty of local dishes, though I couldn't finish everything and felt sorry about it. The only downside was running out of cold water and having to go buy some early in the morning. One concern was that the sound of the flush from the room's toilet echoed throughout the room at night, making it hard to sleep. I believe this might be due to structural issues but found it bothersome!

This stay became a truly memorable experience. The staff welcomed us with warm smiles, guided us around the Accommodation with great care, and showed thoughtful attention to every detail—service that naturally made us want to return. We felt comfortable throughout our stay. The Onsen was, simply put, outstanding. Our Room had a private open-air bath that we could enjoy all to ourselves. The water temperature was perfect, and from the moment we stepped in, it felt as if all the tension left our body. Soaking slowly while looking out over the beautiful forest was pure bliss, and we enjoyed it many times during our stay. The amenities also had a wonderful fragrance and quickly became a favorite. We chose the sake tasting Plan, and each selection had its own character and was fun to compare. As a sake lover, I was especially happy to be able to order Hiroki Aiyama separately—an exceptionally rare bottle—so finding it on the menu genuinely thrilled me. It paired perfectly with Aizu dishes such as herring marinated with Japanese pepper leaves. Being able to enjoy such precious sake while traveling is a truly luxurious memory, and it felt like something unique to an Accommodation in Aizu. They also lend inflatable rings for the Onsen. At first I thought, “An inflatable ring in an Onsen?” but after trying it, I was honestly amazed by how comfortable it was. Floating effortlessly while soaking lets you relax even more deeply than usual. It made me appreciate both their creativity and their playful desire for guests to fully enjoy the Onsen experience. The inflatable ring left a strong impression—I could soak almost face-down in complete relaxation. The cuisine, Onsen, and service were all excellent; this wasn’t an Accommodation where only one aspect stood out—the entire experience was consistently high quality. Thoughtful care could be felt everywhere, and the whole place overflowed with genuine hospitality. People say travel is defined by where you stay, and this visit truly proved that saying right. From the superb Onsen and heartwarming service to the eye-opening inflatable ring experience, it became a wonderful trip filled with great memories. We would love to visit again in another season—thank you very much.”

This Accommodation is thoughtfully designed with attention to detail throughout. However, it was a bit disappointing that the air conditioner wasn’t turned on before check-in even though one is provided, the Room lighting was dim, and there was no TV.

The Room also has a private Onsen bath, and there are four private baths as well—an impressive level of facilities for a pension. The meals offered many dishes, were beautifully colorful, and were very satisfying. We felt thoughtful attention to detail throughout. This is an Accommodation we’d like to return to. We requested an after-bath beer at check-in; we probably should have put it in the refrigerator. It would have been nice to have local craft beer, and we only realized later that we could exchange the in-house wear size, so we rated it 4—but overall it’s basically all 5s. We could also see Lake Inawashiro from the Room.

With a steak late-night snack included, I think this price is very reasonable. Traveling with my dog, it was a very satisfying trip. I’ve found an Accommodation I’d love to visit again!
