I went to a hot spring inn,MUKAITAKI, in aizu,higashiama onsen,
in fukushima prefecture.
i went to aizu from tokyo by train,and i change a local train at kouriyama.
on the way,i was very happy that i feel like an student because
many student wearing sports wear came in to the train.
MUKAITAKI looks like a dragon because the buliding is built along
the mountain line.
the inside is many many ladders,
it is too difficult to find same building.
and,snow is teriffic !! but thats is good!
my admiration hot sprig is seeing snow,
but im sorry, this this hotspring inn doesnt have outside hotspring…
but you can find fatasic view,because at nigth time,
this inn puts many japanese style candles in the snow garden.
that is good matching that hotspring and falling snow without sound.
not good point of this inn,
the buildng is very old,so the guest room is very small
(may be about 25~30m2 ?),and the height is very low,
i think this is japanese old people size.
you can eat dinner at your guest room.
but it taste a little bit too salty because aizu area is very cold,i think.
this inn is not sofistcated.
if you want that,i dont recommend.
and,i think the bath is very good.
no too much service,no too much direction,
but you can feel simple good service only in touhoku area.
if you want a silent night,
you will be captivated by this inn.
satisfaction ★★★☆
this is a ladder paradice ! you can find ladders evrywhere !
the inn is made up by snow. thats beautiful !
japanese people say, “YUKIGESHO”.
this garden,it becomes night,many japanese style candle
make this area illusory.
the snow is coming near by corrider.
the corrider is cleaned very much.
i think this is not no relation that this area,aizu,
make very famous modest and tragedy samurai BYAKKOTAI.
the building built on a pond.
you can feel like walking on a water.
small banket room.
it will be good scene that someone hold wedding celemony with relative.
this is a beauty of honest poverty.
Seeing the garden from a guest room.
i think that snow absorbs sound.
a dinner.many mountains gift.
the fish is very salty, because there is a culture making preserved food.
aizu is very far from sea,and very cold area.
but you can also find SASHIMI too.this is not salty.
time is changed…
the night silnetly goes on…
