Fukinoyu is a traditional ryokan. They even wrote your name at the entrance and were waiting to welcome you by the entrance. The onsen was amazing! Left my skin soft and supple. The staff were so passionate about their job. Everyone was friendly and accommodating even though they don't speak English. I had a great time and would come back again! The warm hospitality and onsen is the highlight of the stay.
I took advantage of a sightseeing trip to Iwaki City and chose this ryokan for the night. The tatami room had a very Showa-era feel, and with a mountain view, it was incredibly quiet at night. The hot spring inside the ryokan is truly amazing. I heard it's Yumoto Onsen, one of Japan's three great ancient springs, and its characteristic high temperature makes a soak in it feel like a complete respite from the day's fatigue. The ryokan is also within a 5-minute walk of a convenience store, laundry service, and JR station, making it a great choice for a visit to Iwaki City.
