Harumiya Ryokan

We stayed here for the second time in a full year, on a trip to celebrate our wedding anniversary. This time we enjoyed a Multiple Night Stay and had a wonderful, relaxing time.The building is set in a spot that feels surrounded by the murmur of the river. It was pouring rain on the day we arrived, but from the second day onward it cleared up, and we enjoyed walks while listening to the water. The Tsuchiyu Onsen town isn’t very large, so you can easily stroll around to souvenir shops and the tourist information center. This year as well, we visited Kumano Shrine and bought Tsuchiyu kokeshi dolls at Matsuya.The baths are as pleasant as ever, with rich mineral water. This time the bath in our Room was quite hot, so we used the private baths more often.The building is clean, and the service is attentive without being intrusive. The staff’s gentle local accent is also very soothing.The meals focus on locally sourced ingredients and include regional dishes—everything is truly delicious. Staying at this Accommodation makes us like Fukushima even more.On our second day we drove out to Aizu; it’s just over an hour each way, and you can enjoy a comfortable drive with views of Mt. Bandai along the way.Overall, this is an Accommodation with extremely high satisfaction, and Tsuchiyu Onsen itself has an atmosphere where time seems to slow down—highly recommended for anyone looking for an unhurried getaway.

This Accommodation was in a very quiet location beside a mountain stream. On the way to the entrance, we were welcomed by the sheep kept at the Accommodation. We were able to fully enjoy the free-flowing Onsen from the source in every option—the bath in our Room, the open-air bath on the top floor, and the private bath. The luxury of having both dinner and breakfast served in our Room, along with many delicious dishes made with locally sourced ingredients, left both our stomachs and hearts completely satisfied. We were truly delighted by an unexpected anniversary gift. We also relaxed comfortably with the kotatsu and massage chair in our Room. And we were impressed by the staff’s attentive, heartfelt hospitality. Thank you very much for taking such good care of us—it became a wonderful travel memory thanks to you.
