You can choose between a Japanese-Western style room or a Japanese style room. There is also a large room that can accommodate up to 7 people, so it is good for a large group or a family trip. On the premium floor "SORA", which opened in 2020, there are rooms with view baths.
This meal is a buffet with a live atmosphere. ``Live Kitchen Hanamomo'' offers a variety of Japanese, Western, and Chinese menus, all of which are freshly baked and made. For alcohol lovers, we also recommend the all-you-can-drink alcohol package, which includes draft beer and bottled beer. After onsen, enjoy plenty of your favorite foods!

"Takayu onsen" is a famous hot spring counted as one of the Oshu Santakayu with a history of more than 400 years. In the olden days, no entertainment district was built under the custom of "no noise of any kind", which has led to a unique charm full of rustic charm that still attracts many people to this day. It is located in the virgin forest of the Azuma mountain range, about 40 minutes onsen bus from Fukushima Station on the Tohoku Shinkansen.
“ryokan Tamagoyu” is a onsen inn that uses 100% free-flowing hot spring water. It is characterized by being able to soak in the hot spring as it overflows from nature by not adding any heating or adding water to the source that naturally gush out, and by using natural onsen to draw hot water to the bathtub only by the height of the topography. There are 7 types of baths, including the open-air bath "Tenkei no Yu" here, and you can enjoy visiting the hot springs while staying on the premises. You will arrive in about 40 minutes from "Fukushima Station" by free pick-up (reservation required) from the inn.
The rooms are basically Japanese-style, but there are some Japanese-Western style rooms with beds. The tatami-floored rooms are ideal for stretching and relaxing your body warmed by onsen, or for relaxing by stretching your legs. Enjoy your time in onsen springs and relax your mind and body.
For dinner, enjoy a seasonal Japanese meal prepared with as much local ingredients as possible, focusing on locally grown wild vegetables. You can choose from honey beef sukiyaki course, seasonal kaiseki course, Kawamata gamecock course, and Chinese course. We also have Shokado bento boxes that you can enjoy in your room.
