Oku-Aizu, Fukushima Prefecture hotel rooms at the Independent

"Very nice modern Onsen hotel, our Japanese style room is spacious with a separate sitting room and the view is great. The buffet dinner and breakfast were great and the onset facility is wonderful. The hotel provides shuttle bus services to the local attractions and JR station. Highly recommended."

"The location was near the train station and nice. A little far from the castle."

"Really great spot, staff was wonderful and the complimentary breakfast and dinners were great, the Onsen was nice and relaxing, make sure you bring cash if you want to explore town because none of the buses accept IC cards"

"excellent wabi sabi experience. such a beautiful setting. and it probably has the most extensive outdoor onsen option anywhere"

"Excellent "Western" Japanese Hotel. We particularly enjoyed the the rooftop Japanese spa, the excellent breakfast and after dinner the lounge with fresh drinks and snacks. The hotel also offers dinner on site which we didn't book because we had dinner in the city but what we saw looked also very good. "

"Great service! "

"If you are looking to experience how Japanese travel, sleep on tatami rooms and eat a good selection of Japanese food. Then this hotel is a good choice. Your room includes a breakfast and dinner buffetes and most people wear the colorful yukata provided by the hotel. The property is a bit out of date but the public bath is quite nice. Transportation into the city is limited and taxi is about $20 USD"

"Breakfast and dinners were excellent. All the staff were so friendly and helpful!"

"I think very few gaijin go this far out. Some of the communication was difficult but the staff tried really hard and we enjoyed the stay Hard to navigate getting to and from major stations and it snowed one day at end of March Overall I’m glad we did it for the experience to be immersed in Japanese culture.
