Surrounded by a beech forest, the appearance is full of satoyama atmosphere. Fukushima Daimaru Asunarosou in Nikki onsen in Ten-ei Village, Iwase County, is a nostalgic inn that is just as the image of "Japan Association for Secluded Hot Spring Protection".

The biggest reason Daimaru Asunaro-so is loved by onsen lovers is that it uses 6 natural onsen. Among them, this natural spring rock bath is so close that you can almost reach the river if you stretch out your hand. At the bottom of the bathtub, there is a hole the size of a golf ball, from which onsen are bubbling up. Feel the wildness and the depth of history!

Inside the building full of warmth. You can spend an extraordinary time while soaking in onsen.

This inn is located in Hinoemada Village, which is also the gateway to Oze National Park, and is surrounded by nature. The inside of the hotel has a nostalgic feel, and is a relaxing space. In winter, a silver world spreads out, and you can enjoy the scenery that will give you a sense of travel.

The inn has two large public baths, ``Hiuchida-no-Yu'' and ``Mizubasho-no-Yu.'' The open-air bath at ``Mizubasho-no-Yu'' in the photo is located in a location surrounded by mountains, where you can feel the changing seasons. The indoor bath is made entirely of cypress, so feel refreshed while feeling the warmth of the wood and surrounded by the scent of cypress.

There are rooms that overlook the mountain range of Oze, and rooms that overlook Hinoemada Village with its rows of red roofs, so we recommend choosing your favorite view. This two-room Japanese-style room is a spacious and relaxing space for families and groups. If you prefer a bed rather than a futon, try a Western-style room with twin beds.

Nakanosawa onsen is located between the western foot of Mt. Adatara and Mt. Bandai. This is also onsen with a deep history that is said to date back to the Horeki era, although there is no exact record of when it opened. Among them, Onjuku Manyotei was renovated in 2016 and is recommended for those who want to choose ryokan with an emphasis on functionality.

The spring quality is an acidic alum green spring containing hydrogen sulfide. Depending on the climate of the day, the color of the hot water changes, and you can feel the richness of the spring quality. It is characterized by its high acidity of pH=1.85 and the smell of sulfur. The fact that the water is free-flowing without water heating circulation will tickle the hearts of onsen enthusiasts!

When you open the window of the room, you can hear the sound of the river! You can spend a relaxing time stimulating your five senses with a landscape that looks like a painting.

This inn is recommended for those who want to be particular about the room they stay in while traveling to enjoy secret hot springs. There is a wide variety of guest rooms, including modern Japanese rooms like the Japanese-Western room in the photo. There are also plenty of other guest rooms that will tickle the hearts of girls, such as Japanese-Western rooms with hanging chairs and Japanese-style rooms with spacious verandas.

onsen bathed in the inn's private bath ``Tsuki to Taiyo'' is drawn from the public bath ``Hachimachi onsen' in Kanayama Town. The public baths at Hachimachi onsen are mixed, but here you can fully enjoy your bath in a private space. The natural carbonated onsen will refresh your mind and body.

The dinner menu, which uses seasonal ingredients, changes depending on the occasion. You can enjoy delicious dishes such as ``homemade konnyaku,'' ``raw yuba,'' and ``aobato tofu.'' For breakfast, you can also enjoy porridge cooked in onsen. You can enjoy a meal that makes you feel like you're traveling.

Next, we will introduce `` Motoyu Kashi Onsen Ryokan Daikokuya'', an inn that is said to have a connection to the Shirakawa feudal lord, Sadanobu Matsudaira. It is also a secret hot spring spot with a deep history, with its history dating back to the Shitoku era (1384).

source:

The most famous feature of Motoyu Kashi Onsen Ryokan Daikokuya is its large pool-like bath. It is exceptionally spacious, measuring 5m long and 15m wide, and has a maximum depth of 1.2m. It's basically a mixed bath, but there are times when it's only for women, so don't worry! The large stone inside the large bathtub is called the ``child jewel'' and is also recommended for couples who are trying to conceive.

The open-air Ebisu-no-Yu, where you can enjoy the nature of Oku-Kashi slowly, is a calcium-sodium-sulfate onsen onsen with a spring quality different from that of the large rock bath. Please enjoy an elegant time because it boasts an abundant amount of hot water.

Next is Himesayuri no Yado onsen located in Atsushiokano-cho, Kitakata City, which is also famous for its ramen. A onsen resort that was discovered at the end of the Edo period, surrounded by the Iide and Azuma Mountains, where you can enjoy a calm and quiet time.

Enjoy 100% free-flowing natural onsen at our proud cypress open-air bath. Although it is slightly lukewarm, it is a famous hot spring that makes you want to take your time while enjoying the scenery.

Luxurious meal featuring local seasonal foods! After recovering your strength in onsen, fill your stomach. With the standard "Japanese beef grilled on a ceramic plate" meal plan, you can also enjoy locally caught wild vegetables and river fish.

The last place I would like to introduce is “Aizu Ashinomaki onsen Senkyokaku” in Aizuwakamatsu City. Although it is a three-story wooden building, it is fully equipped with an elevator, so people of all ages can enjoy it with peace of mind.

source:

This inn is the only one in Ashinomaki onsen that has its own source! It's a little far from the onsen town, but the samurai residence-like appearance makes you feel a sense of dignity full of history.

All seats in the meal are chairs with tables. Safe even for people with limited mobility! Although it is a small inn with 13 rooms, it has a good reputation for its attentive service.
