磐城汤本温泉 × 餐饮评价高的酒店·日式旅馆

Because I rarely have the chance to travel with family or close friends, I usually travel alone. Soaking in the Onsen helps me clear my mind. Enjoying delicious food is a true happiness. What’s more, Shin Tsuta brings me peace, so I return again and again. This is very important to me. The sense of calm and fulfillment I feel is thanks to the warmth and character of each and every member of your staff. That calm and fulfillment also makes me feel as if it restores my purity. When I get home, I already want to go back to Shin Tsuta—like when I was young, after seeing my sweetheart and returning to the dormitory, I immediately wanted to see them again.

Thank you for taking care of us again this year, following last year. It’s a good Hotel. We stayed with three grandchildren on a two-meal plan. As we were leaving, they asked to come again next year. The only drawback is that it can be hard to make a Reservation.

Ever since my first visit before summer, I’ve been completely hooked and have returned several times. This time, I invited my family. We took a bus from a different stop than usual, so we arrived a little later than planned, but we were still able to follow almost the same schedule as always and were very satisfied. The room is compact, but it was just right for two of us (my mother and me). We spent most of our time at the hot springs and hardly came back to the room except to sleep. Since there was a smoker in our group, we booked two rooms. It was convenient not having to go to the designated smoking area, and those of us who don’t smoke could stay comfortably without worrying about any smell—my family appreciated that. As others have mentioned, the property is large and has an older layout, so you do end up walking quite a bit. But as long as you’re able to walk, it’s not an issue—if anything, walking more just means you can enjoy even more food. I personally love this kind of layout because it feels like an adventure. As always, everything we ate was delicious. My family especially loved the purple sweet potato tart. The evening hula dance show was spectacular; I’m always captivated by the dancers’ wonderful smiles. Every time I visit I seem to make at least one mistake and cause trouble for the staff, but everyone is consistently kind and helpful, which makes me feel at ease staying here. This time as well, I accidentally selected the wrong gender option when booking and needed my loungewear exchanged; they handled it cheerfully. Thank you very much. My family enjoyed it too, and once again it turned into a wonderful trip. With travel subsidies starting up again, reservations filled quickly and I couldn’t book for autumn… which is very disappointing—but I’ll be back in winter, and I’m really looking forward to it.

As we were at a point where we might have to leave Tokyo due to my daughter’s job assignment, the three of us stayed at Shohakukan in Onahama. It’s a historic building, but it was thoroughly cleaned down to every corner, so we felt comfortable and at ease throughout our stay. We chose a room with a private hot spring bath and a massage chair! The in-room hot spring had an authentic sulfur scent that really made it feel like a true onsen experience, and we took turns using the massage chair as a family to soothe our travel fatigue. Upgrading the meals was absolutely the right decision! Crab, grilled dancing abalone, Joshu beef steak, simmered splendid alfonsino (kinmedai), deep-fried mehikari… everything was incredibly luxurious, and we enjoyed so many local specialties. Every dish was truly delicious—I almost felt bad that we couldn’t finish everything. Sorry about that! Another unforgettable part of our stay was chatting with the wonderful attendant wearing glasses. She shared so many enjoyable stories about the inn’s history, sightseeing spots, and recommended sake, making our trip even warmer and more memorable. Thank you very much. In the midst of our busy daily lives, it meant so much to relax as a family of three again—enjoying great food and unwinding in the hot springs—and it made us fall in love with Fukushima for the first time. We would love to return again someday. Thank you sincerely for everything!

I’ve stayed here many times. This Hotel lets you feel the history of Yumoto, the town of hula. That’s also part of its charm, and it makes for a calm, relaxing stay. This time I stayed with my wife, but when I’m traveling for work I can also choose a budget-friendly Room with some limitations. Dinner is not provided, but you can get recommended local information along with a map. Above all, the proprietress’s breakfast is delicious and highly recommended. Of course, the Onsen is wonderful as well. I’ll be back!

The pillow height and the overall atmosphere of the room were thoughtfully considered, making it incredibly comfortable. The large hot spring bath also made for a relaxing stay. I left early in the morning and couldn’t try breakfast, but I’d like to next time.

It was a very comfortable Room. The seafood dishes were also excellent. The bath was clean and we enjoyed it. After checking out, I realized I had forgotten my hat and called; they helped me, and it arrived at my home the next day. It became a wonderful memory. I will visit again.

Although the property is a bit old, it is kept very clean and is conveniently located near Onsen Shrine and a convenience store. The staff are kind, and I find it comfortable and really like it. Last time I stayed in a Western-style room, but this time I chose a Japanese-style room. The tatami mats and futon felt more relaxing. I’ll be back again for a leisurely stay.

When I came back to my hometown, I wanted to enjoy an Onsen, so I stayed here after hearing from a local friend that it was their “top recommended Hotel right now.” The entire property is spotless—and stylish. The Room is a bit small, but the minimalist design (with no unnecessary extras) actually made it calming and easy to relax. The Onsen is 100% free-flowing from the source, and it warms you up incredibly well. I also heard it’s great for your skin, and seeing how fair-skinned the staff are made me believe it (lol). Yumoto Onsen is said to be effective for dark spots. I’d heard breakfast was a buffet and honestly didn’t expect much, but it exceeded my expectations in the best way. Everything was carefully prepared with a wide variety of options, and all of it was delicious. When I asked about the yogurt, a staff member explained everything kindly and thoroughly—great service really stood out. In this era of rising prices and inbound tourism, this is a rare Accommodation where both value for money and hospitality feel truly outstanding. Everyone on the staff was so kind—it’s an Accommodation with genuine warmth that makes you want to come back.

We enjoyed the excellent hot springs, delicious meals, and complimentary drinks.

Stayed on a weekday before the Obon holiday in August with the most affordable plan for 4 people. Despite some initial concerns, it was excellent value for money and an incredibly satisfying stay. The room was about 12 tatami mats in size, with a spacious hallway entrance and a wide sitting area by the window overlooking trees, comfortably seating four people. The bathroom had two sinks, and while there was a toilet in the room, there were also toilets located throughout the hallways and other areas. The bath was spacious with slightly sulfur-scented Onsen water that left my skin feeling smooth. Meals were served at tables in a large tatami-floored dining area. There was a menu provided along with explanations from staff members. While not extravagant, the dishes were creative and deliciously satisfying. For those wanting more luxurious options like beef or crab dishes, upgrading to another plan might be better suited. Tea and water were self-serve but made using tea leaves rather than tea bags, which made it taste better; even the water itself tasted great! After check-in, our luggage was carried to our room by staff who were kind and attentive throughout our stay. The building itself is impressive yet simple in design—clean with quick elevator access—and we enjoyed relaxing without any crowds at the baths or elsewhere around the Ryokan grounds. The road leading to this Ryokan wasn’t narrow either! One thing to note: they provide yukata robes but only one Onsen towel besides bath towels; so bringing your own pajamas or face towels might be helpful (especially if you find sleeping in yukata uncomfortable like I do). Would love to visit again!

I wanted to get away from my everyday routine and focus on work, so I stayed here for a 2-night, 3-day workcation (1 dinner and 2 breakfasts). Both breakfast and dinner were delicious. For someone like me who enjoys meals with rice, there were so many dishes that I couldn’t finish everything in one bowl. It felt thoughtfully planned for guests who want to enjoy the main and side dishes as well. I could really sense the care behind the meals—consideration for both those who drink alcohol and those who don’t—and it left a warm impression. The Sendai beef at dinner was restaurant-quality (sorry if that sounds rude). The local nanbanzuke-style mehikari was also great, but the black sesame tofu at breakfast was especially delicious. The desserts were also very elaborate—I was impressed. The hot spring isn’t large, but it’s clean and well maintained, more than enough to enjoy free-flowing natural hot spring water. I also appreciated having a high-quality hair dryer available. Being able to use the hot spring even late at night must be a big burden for the staff, but as a guest it was wonderful not having to worry about time. The room was clean, spacious, and very satisfying. The TV was large and positioned perfectly for easy viewing—I could feel how much thought had gone into guest comfort. The staff’s hospitality was polite and high quality; it made me want to be an equally considerate guest in return. This is definitely a hotel I’d love to visit again.

I stayed here to enjoy the Onsen, and all three baths in the building were excellent. The open-air bath in the sky was especially refreshing—I could have stayed in it forever. Each of the three baths had both hot and lukewarm tubs, so I could choose what I liked. Since it was a weekday after the Obon holidays, it wasn’t crowded and I was able to truly relax. As a solo traveler, my Room was a single Room like you’d find at a Business Hotel, but that’s what I expected, so it wasn’t an issue. The Onsen Shrine just a 1-minute walk from the Hotel was also quiet and became one of my favorite spots (you can pray for safe bathing). There are footbaths inside the station, in front of the station, and around town as well—Furutakiya is an outstanding Accommodation as a base for Yumoto, an Onsen town. Although I booked a Plan without meals, I had dinner at the dining venue “Tsudaya” on the second floor. The seafood rice bowl was delicious, and their à la carte dishes also looked great.

This time we stayed at Willport, close to the pool. Dinner included a main dish of grilled tuna poke, fried chicken & fries, and desserts such as acai bowls and fruit. Soft drinks and the salad bar are included; alcohol is available for an additional order. Breakfast was also more than we could finish—plenty even for an adult man. You can also watch hula during dinner. The room was spacious enough for a family of four. This time it was just the two of us; my husband would have preferred a bed, but we slept well on futons. We also enjoyed the hot springs and the lazy river pool. The poolside burger was delicious—tasted like 100% beef! We wondered how it would be with a wheelchair, but there were elevators and we were able to get around by taking a longer route. On the second day it was rainy and windy due to a typhoon, but since everything is indoors it didn’t affect us at all. From late October to around November should be peak autumn foliage season—sounds wonderful. We also bought macadamia nut chocolates and had a great time overall. It’s nearby for us, so we’d love to come again. The staff were kind as well. P.S. They also provided kids’ body soap, shampoo & conditioner in the room.

The hot spring water is sourced directly from the spring, with both lukewarm and hot baths available, as well as an open-air bath. Visiting during a less crowded period allows for a relaxing soak to relieve fatigue. I look forward to visiting again.

With the free shuttle bus, you can save on transportation costs—it practically pays for itself! With accommodation, Hawaiians admission tickets, a ¥2,000 in-house voucher, and breakfast and dinner included, this is an unbeatable deal. Inside Hawaiians, there are many different pools, slides, spacious hot springs, an impressive Polynesian dance show, and photogenic food and drink options—so we had a fantastic time. We also tried glamping and made great memories.

The Room was spacious enough for a solo stay and very clean, so I could relax comfortably. The Onsen was a bit hot for me, but it felt wonderful. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious. If I visit the Iwaki area again, I would definitely like to stay here again.

Stayed in a smoking double room for a Multiple Night Stay in Iwaki City for work. Here’s my review from the perspective of a heavy smoker and drink enthusiast. Location: There is a parking lot right in front of the hotel with a maximum fee of ¥500 for 24 hours. A convenience store (Lawson), a day-use Onsen (Sahako no Yu), and Yumoto Station are all about a 5-minute walk away, making the location very convenient. However, there are very few dining options, even around the station, so it’s necessary to do some research in advance. I walked up and down the nearby streets twice and found only one izakaya where smoking was allowed ("Odoriba" near the station). The friendly hostess, affordable drinks, and smoking-friendly environment were great, but unfortunately, the place is set to close in a year due to station redevelopment. Many shops had their shutters down, possibly due to the off-season. The adjacent yakitori restaurant "Juhachiban" does not allow smoking but had pleasant service and reasonable prices for a tourist area, making it a recommended spot. Further down, the bar "Mai Tai" seemed to allow smoking at its outdoor sidewalk seating, but I didn’t try it as it looked stylish and seemed a bit pricey. Hotel Room: The glass-walled bathroom (frosted glass, but still) felt a bit uncomfortable. Other than that, there were no major issues. The room was clean and well-maintained. Unlike many hotels where removing the key card cuts off all electricity, this hotel allowed the refrigerator to stay on while I was out, which was convenient for keeping drinks cold during a Multiple Night Stay. The availability of an extension cord was also a nice touch. Other Notes: There is no ice machine or ice service at the front desk, so I had to buy ice from the convenience store for in-room drinks. There is a vending machine for beer and sours next to the front desk. A map of nearby restaurants is also available at the front desk, which was helpful for exploring the area. Considering the rising prices of hotels recently, this hotel offered excellent value for money. The room facilities and location made it a very cost-effective choice.
