Hotels near Satokobo Kokon, Aizuwakamatsu

Located in the middle of the city of Aizu Wakamatsu, it is a business hotel that is convenient for sightseeing and eating. It faces the main street Shinmei Dori street running north-south through the center of the city, and the road is located in Sakae CHO, a place where there are many restaurants such as a famous shop of the cherry blossoms, and tsuruga Jo castle in １０ minutes walk The back is directly connected to Hideyo Noguchi, a place related to Hideyo Noguchi, and it is not necessary for walking day and night. I also took advantage of the time before dinner to walk around the shichikamachi street where Hideyo Noguchi's youth hall (former Kaiyo hospital) and old merchants remain. The free parking lot is available as it is after checking out, so I took a walk to visit the graves of Tsuruga Jo castle and Gamo ujisato. This time I used a twin room, but the building is a bit old, but the room was clean and comfortable. Although it does not leave the business hotel area, it was a large scale and safe hotel in Aizu Wakamatsu.

I will go to the Aizu picture candle festival and stay if I find a cheap and good hotel that can go on a day trip! It is a hotel that hit by that. It is a little far from Aizu Wakamatsu station, but the bus stop is close to both the hikara and Akabe of the tour bus, so it is quite convenient to stay while sightseeing Aizu Wakamatsu. You can walk to shichikamachi. I took off my shoes at the entrance in front of the front desk and changed my shoes to slippers, but there was a little uncomfortable feeling as a hotel, but coffee and tea were freely drunk in the room near the entrance I can feel worried about having a massage chair or a cartoon book. It was an out bus room, but the bathroom and toilet were in the room, so it was good. The bath for women was ２ and was so cool that I was able to lock and use it with my friend １ one by one. There are 3 washrooms in the same or slightly wide feeling as the bath in the house, but the shower is １, and there is a mold with a black point 々 in the hose part of the shower, so it is impossible for nervous people. Don't forget to take the towel from the room! There is a refrigerator in the room, but the outlet was not creeping and it was not cold. Or it feels protected from the heating in the room. Please be careful if you are used.

The size of the room is good, but I think the sound of the next room, corridor, etc. is a bit noisy, the sound insulation is not good, the bathroom is too small, the obedient staff is very polite, located on the seven-day ~ suitable for sightseeing, reasonable price

I stayed overnight on Saturday, December. The inn I took to catch the first train on the Tadami Line, but the train didn't move and eventually stayed at the hotel for Aizu's daring. The biggest choice was to be in front of the station. Very convenient in front of the station. There are convenience stores and supermarkets in Ekinaka nearby. There are also restaurants in the hotel. The front desk is very kind at a high level. The hotel is tired, but cleanliness is maintained. Although it is in front of the station, the sound of the car is not noisy and there is no noise. You can see the station from the window, so you will be able to travel. It was a plan with a ticket for a nearby bathing facility. It is more useful than the small bath in the hotel, but on a cold day when it rains, it will be cooled back and forth. Overall it is an ordinary business hotel. If there is a value plan, it is a hotel that I want to stay next time.

The view of the open-air bath in the room was wonderful ❗️ I definitely wanted to go again. The room is not large but clean. The digging kotatsu is hard to stand and sit, and the sofa is still easy 〜 The next thing I liked was breakfast. Local production for local consumption, all of them are very delicious, but natto was so good that I replaced it lol The sincere service of the staff was also comfortable. In a word, is the response at check-in a Vijiho style? I wonder if it can't be helped in a large inn. Check-in at seating is impossible. Overall the impression was very good. I want to ask again. Thank you for your help *\(^o^)/*

Because I was going to Wuse Marsh the next day, I booked this hotel. Although the room layout is old-fashioned, it also has an old European style. The cleanliness is also quite good. You can fully enjoy the large bath and open-air style. The shuttle service makes it very convenient to move, as long as you make an appointment with mail the day before.

There is a station connection. As soon as you leave the train station, you can clearly find the shuttle bus. It is very convenient. After arriving at the hotel, the service staff will immediately receive the reception. It is very thoughtful. The relevant needs are also tried to help. The room is spacious and comfortable, clean and tidy. If you do not arrange other outdoor trips, The hotel has everything you need to hang out for a whole day!

Living in Japan as a vegetarian for many years I am used to having to tough it out at hotels. Although there are exceptions, the majority of these facilities in Japan are still in the dark ages when it comes to vegetarian food options and unfortunately this hotel is no exception. This was our second time to stay here and we had hoped in vain that the food selection would be better. Shame on us, yes, but shame on the hotel even more, in my opinion. First, the positives. It is in a great location: you step out of the hotel and you are practically launched on the Goshiknuma trail. If you have a car it is easy to drive to nearby starting points for various excellent hiking options. If you don't have a car you are very limited in how many hiking spots you can access. The staff is friendly and helpful. The previous time we stayed, during the pandemic, there was a near-fluent in English tri-lingual front desk staff member who was great. We don't really need that, however, so I cannot say that this time we encountered any English speaking staff. The room was clean and comfortable. On our previous stay we had a gigantic room for less than what we paid this time but that was during the pandemic when hotels were practically begging for business and we were also able to avail ourselves of the government subsidy program for travel, which has long been discontinued. Anyway, we were happy enough with the room. The onsen is good: spacious and properly maintained. This facility is actually two joined hotels and if you stay on this side (pricier and with nicer rooms) the onsen is less crowded and nicer. The food was another story. Both the first time we stayed and this time, we opted for the buffet meal package: breakfast and dinner. Breakfast is passable if you are lacto-ovo as I am and not super strict, meaning you can drink miso soup that will doubtlessly have at least some fish stock as part of it. Dinner is, frankly, pathetic. There is nothing of substance for vegetarians unless you consider a salad, rice, pickles, and a couple of fried vegetables to be a meal. I do not. Virtually every dish had some meat or fish in it. Why does the pasta have to have bacon? Why does the stir fry vegetables have to have chicken? This hotel is far from the only one that does this, but in 2023 is it not possible to have one or two entree type offerings entirely meat or fish free? The buffet is gigantic and has huge variety but all of that variety is thoroughly saturated with meat and fish. Total fail. We will not stay here again, regretfully. Note: the buffet was equally poor during our first stay and it was entirely on us that we hoped there would be some improvement a few years later. Like I said, shame on us. That does not excuse the hotel from not providing better food options for vegetarians.

This is a very well designed hotel. The whole store is full of Japanese and Liujin culture. Seeing the full red べこ, I really want to pack it home 😂 And it is located next to the river, and the scenery is also great day and night. It is a hotel that makes people want to come back.
