Prefettura di Fukushima, Giappone: hotel con terme

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!

L'hotel è situato vicino a un'acquavite aspirante, offrendo un vero e proprio soggiorno scenico. Sia il colazione che la cena mostrano i piaceri culinari della cucina giapponese, e l'esperienza del nostro uomo è semplicemente fenomenale. Per un soggiorno ancora più lussuoso, scegliere una stanza con un onsen privato o considerare l'aggiornamento ad una stanza a prezzi più elevati che comprende una sessione onsen privata complimentare di un'ora.

The hotel is stunning, super cozy, and feels very exclusive since there aren't many rooms. The common area with the fireplace is everything. Free drinks, warm fire—I could literally chill there all day. Huge room, and the futons are surprisingly comfy. We did the half-board (breakfast & dinner) and it was seriously delicious. The staffs are super friendly and helpful, 10/10 service. The public Onsen baths are gorgeous and so relaxing—perfect for melting away muscle pain. Honestly, the Private Onsens (especially the outdoor ones) are a bit basic. No toilets or amenities out there, so don't be worry if you can't snag a booking; the main baths are better anyway! One Heads-up: This is a legit sulfur onsen town. The smell is strong and literally stuck to my car seats for days. 😂 Bring some air freshener!

Fun place for couples! The private bath was just as nice. Great experience to bath in the onsen with nature.

La stanza in stile giapponese ha un bellissimo ambiente, ordinato e pulito, e mi piace molto la posizione dello specchio per il trucco. La cena è fornita nell'alloggio, ho dimenticato di informare in anticipo l'hotel che la mia famiglia non mangia carne di manzo, ma il personale ha immediatamente aiutato a cambiarla con i frutti di mare e il servizio è stato comunque molto dedicato. Non ci sono state lamentele o insoddisfazioni mi sono sentito molto dispiaciuto per aver aumentato il carico di lavoro del personale. Anche se è una certa distanza dalla stazione JR, l'hotel dispone di un bus navetta, che può essere fornito previa registrazione con un giorno di anticipo.

โรงแรมมดีมาก สวย วิวดี ห้องใหญ่ สิ่งอำนวยความสะดวกครบครัน แต่อาหารเช้าและอาหารเย็นเป็นเมนูเดิมๆ พักติดต่อหลายวัน ค่อนข้างเบื่อเมนูอาหาร เหมาะแก่การมาเล่นสกี ที่สำคัญมีพนักงานพูดภาษาไทยได้ด้วย รู้สึกอบอุ่นมาก

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.

The location is very close to the lake named 五色沼。Breakfast and dinner are served as buffet which is at average standard.

This is a budget friendly hotel when comparing to others around its. The breakfast is not line buffet but one big box of breakfast that you can have refill rice (but not big for men) The room is clean but not that clean (you can find dust on the ceiling which is nothing much for me. The facility is ok as when i arrived at the hotel the opened-air onsen is out of service due to heavy snow (all places around the area are closed as well so it is understandable)

Una fantastica terrazza panoramica sulle sorgenti termali: Sonoyu! Cena e colazione sono entrambe a buffet di alta qualità. Il personale dell'hotel è molto attento e cortese! Il Fukushima Higashiyama Onsen Hotel, a Onjuku Toho, è altamente raccomandato.
