1. Nature Cottage Akabeko

1.9 km from Lake Sonohara

"コテージはとても素敵でした。お部屋は広々としていて、畳の部屋も心地よく、ゆっくりと過ごすことができました。小鳥のさえずりが聞こえる静かな環境も最高です。虫を心配していましたが、特に問題ありませんでした。ただ一点、非常に残念だったことがあります。チェックイン時に、1泊あたり3,300円の暖房費を別途請求されました。正直なところ、この金額は少し高すぎると感じます。もしExpediaの予約画面に事前に記載されていれば納得できましたが、現地で突然支払う形だったため、あまり良い気分ではありませんでした。予約時の料金に含めるか、事前に明記してほしかったです。"

"Absolutely wonderful service! From the moment we got out of our taxi to the moment we got on the bus to leave, the people who run the place where amazingly welcoming! They got out into the snow to greet us and instantly warmed us with a cup of tea in the anteroom. They attended to our every need, and when they heard that we hadn't had dinner, they insisted on cooking us a small meal for free even though as a business, the place doesn't offer any meal service. And when we left they gave us small...

"China (Cheena) looked after us so well. She did everything, cooking , cleaning, driving us to ski resort. Our train was cancelled and they came to pick us up at Bandai Altima at a cost which was terrific. There actually is a bus from Koriyama to the Ski Resort however the bus station seemed unable to tell us that. It would have been good information from Reitopia also. Anyway it was very kind to pick us up. The menu is a bit limited and it seemed there were other things to eat, if you were in...

"3回目の宿泊です！今回は宿泊だけでなく、食事やサウナも楽しみに訪れました。サウナは事前予約必要とのことです。今回は観光というよりかは、宿やその周辺でゆっくり過ごすこと自体を目的。七ツ家で食事を通じて磐梯を感じて、特に特製の塩麹からあげが美味しかったです。あと、サウナでくつろいだりと、自分たちのペースで充実した時間を過ごせました。オーナーは色々地域の観光や情報を知ることもでき、宿泊前よりも磐梯・会津に興味が湧きました。地域とのつながりもできたことも魅力だと思います。次回も連泊して冬の滞在を楽しむ予定です！"

Top Lake Sonohara Hotel Reviews

Toyoko Inn Aizuwakamatsu Ekimae

8/10 Good

"Staff were excellent. Very friendly and were excited to promote Aizuwakamatsu and the Fukushima mascot, Akabeko. Helped me by moving me to a non-smoking room after I had mistakenly booked a smoking room. Breakfast was okay, and free. Parking is on-site via a mechanical tower. One elevator for 11 floors - the elevator is often crowded, with a queue sometimes. My only problem was that the rooms are not soundproofed, the other guests on my floor were extremely noisy and could be heard through the walls and shouting in the corridoor."

Kutsurogijuku Shintaki

10/10 Excellent

"The food and location are spectacular, we loved it!"

Urabandai Lake Resort

8/10 Good

"Overall pretty good resort that is unfortunately showing its age. Our room was rather small for a family style room (comparatively to other ryokans we stayed at for a similar price point) but very clean. Beautiful location but very remote if you don’t have a car. Shuttles to and from Inawashiro station made it easy to take day trips to other areas. Most of the resort’s amenities were also not open during our stay too. The resort supposedly has multiple restaurants but only two were open while we were there. The outdoor onsen is quite nice as well."
