Hotel Experience｜Stay at Cultural Heritage-Aizu Mukataki Onsen Ryokan

Hotel name: The most satisfying hotel I stayed at during my trip to see the snow in northeastern Japan at Christmas in 2019 was a century-old hot spring hotel with a long history hidden in the "Samurai City" Aizuwakamatsu Mountain. It was also the first hot spring hotel in Japan to be registered as a tangible cultural heritage. , suitable for travelers who are interested in experiencing traditional Japanese culture in depth. 📍Hotel address: Kawamukai-200 Higashiyamamachi Oaza Yumoto, 965-0814 Aizuwakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan ⭐️Hotel design style: The entire hotel is located in a valley, close to mountains and river valleys. You can hear original natural music when you open the windows. It inherits the teahouse architectural style of the early Showa era and is entirely made of solid wood. The large "Mukataki" sign hanging horizontally at the front door is particularly conspicuous. The sloping courtyard enclosed by the hotel is a highlight. You can see different scenery throughout the year: cherry blossoms in spring, fireflies in summer, red leaves in autumn and snow lanterns in winter. It's a pity that I couldn't experience the stunning scenery brought by the snowfall when I checked in on Christmas Eve. ⭐️Hotel facilities: This hotel retains most of its traditional details due to its historical heritage. It has a total of 24 rooms (you must make a reservation long in advance). It is not inferior to high-end hotels in terms of service, atmosphere, catering, hot springs and other facilities, so The price/performance ratio is also higher. It is said that the hotel has been passed down for the sixth generation. During our one-day stay, we were deeply impressed by its old objects and well-preserved historical traces of old traditions. Breakfast and dinner will be delivered to the room for guests to enjoy at the time specified by the guests. ⭐️Hotel services: Although the hotel is not the most top-notch, the internal services are very friendly and in place. The hot springs are comfortable, the food is delicious, the service is friendly, and the traditional rooms are very clean. It is very suitable for hot spring travel enthusiasts who want to enjoy a slow pace. #aizuwakamatsujo #hot spring guesthouse #japantravel
