This getaway was exactly what I wanted. Traditional, immersive, comfortable, accomodating.
The staff came and greeted us in the car park, the dinner and breakfast was amazing, delicious, adventurous. And the onsen on the roof was perfect!
The staff thoroughly explained their processes. I spoke some japanese and they spoke only some english but they were very accomating with us and welcoming.
I would highly recommend and its also not far from town either.
It snowed a little the night we stayed and it was so magical!
We had our own private onsen at our room but the others in the ryokan are even better and available to be private, just lock door when your using.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The first great point is the proximity to the Fukushima Station. When I arrived, my check-in process was handled by the Manager, Matsuda-san. He was very friendly and warm.
The room I stayed in was decently-sized, giving me enough room to walk around with a large suitcase and other bags on the floor. A suitcase stand and a small stool are provided. The beige wallpaper provided a nice contrast to the dark carpet.
The controls for the room were absolutely fantastic - I could, for instance, adjust the brightness of the main light and the strength of the bathroom exhaust fan. The bathroom was slightly cramped, but I managed. An alarm clock is also provided for guests.
The default blanket in the room was far too hot; even with the heating turned off, I felt like I was being roasted while I was in bed with the blanket covering me (and this was in winter!). I didn't like the default pillow either, it was too hard. On my last night, I requested a thinner blanket and softer pillow. Thankfully, the hotel was able to provide them, and I slept much better after using the new blanket and pillow. Funnily enough, the mattress was also quite hard, but it didn't give me any problems.
The sound insulation was fantastic, and the cleaning staff were super quiet! I almost couldn't tell that they were outside my room doing their work! I also very likely had considerate Japanese guests on my floor, hence the peace.
Nearby the hotel is S-Pal, where you can buy all sorts of prepared meals (if you're lucky, you can find a few vegan options). There's also a large pharmacy, and there are many convenience stores around.
The main complaint I have is that the check-out time @ 10:00 is too early. I think 12:00 would be a better time.
I did not have breakfast at the hotel, nor did I use any of the facilities, so I have no comment on those.
I definitely recommend Hotel Route-Inn Grand Fukushima Ekimae to others, and I will definitely consider staying at Route-Inn hotels in other parts of Japan!
Side Notes:
(1) If you have large luggage and arrive at the Fukushima Station, you'll have to take the elevator at the west exit, and when you reach the ground floor you'll see another elevator about 20 metres in front of you (slightly to the left). This second elevator will take you to the underground passage, which you can use to get to the east side of the station, where Route-Inn Grand Fukushima is located. Do note that there is a rear entrance to the hotel (next to a public parking lot), and this will save you from walking to the front of the hotel with all your luggage.
(2) Vegan options in Fukushima are unfortunately extremely limited, but you can find some vegan tofu bars and a few other items at 7-Eleven...but be sure to use Google Lens to translate the ingredients!

This was a very lovely resort! The view from our room was breathtaking!
We called for pick-up from the train station and waited about 10 minutes. The next morning our ride back to the train station was waiting when we arrived in the lobby.
The beds were prepared at 6pm. Dinner was reservation only, which we did not have. We walked 20 minutes into the little town to a hidden gem Ramen shop that opened at 7pm and the food was amazing.

I didn't stay for the purpose, but it was the day of the fireworks display. I couldn't see the bottom of the fireworks in the surrounding buildings, but the fireworks that were launched from the windows in the room looked small. Lucky location, lucky room location. I have the impression that there were more athletic club students participating in the tournament than businessmen in the accommodation layer. The breakfast time overlapped with the students and the buffet was busy. The staff relaxed with Fukushima intonation. There is a 7-Eleven diagonally opposite the hotel near the station, and there is a rental car behind it, which is convenient. I want to use it next time I go to Fukushima.

It was very convenient because it was close to the IC and there was a convenience store right there. The large communal bath was good and the breakfast was satisfactory. The staff were very polite!

Guest UserI was able to spend a pleasant time in a simple hotel. However, I felt that the size of the comforter was small. Both horizontal and vertical. I think I could rest with peace of mind if it was a little bigger.

A little bit of a walk away from Iizaka Onsen station if you don’t have a car (around 20 mins), but worth it! The onsen is amazing and definitely get the sake tasting set at the sake bar.

It was a plan with breakfast. It has a wide variety of items, and it looks delicious enough to want to eat everything. I tried my best and ate a lot. There were many kinds of bread and the croissants were delicious.
In the large communal bath, the woman has a key at the front desk, but when there is a previous customer, she was waiting, and at around 21:00, she was in trouble waiting for more than an hour. I hope for improvement measures.

The station and convenience store were close and convenient location.
I went to the front desk to listen to the tavern where I could eat the ground, but it was a pretty good shop.
If you can stay here at this price hotel, there is no reason to reduce 😊.
Thank you for your attention!

Guest UserIt takes about 10 minutes to walk from Fukushima Station. It's better to take a bus from the station. The interior has been renovated, and the air conditioner and bathroom faucets are new. The water temperature and pressure are perfect. Breakfast is free, and there is also free curry for dinner. Welcome drinks include coffee, and of course, alcohol is also available.
