I took advantage of a sightseeing trip to Iwaki City and chose this ryokan for the night. The tatami room had a very Showa-era feel, and with a mountain view, it was incredibly quiet at night. The hot spring inside the ryokan is truly amazing. I heard it's Yumoto Onsen, one of Japan's three great ancient springs, and its characteristic high temperature makes a soak in it feel like a complete respite from the day's fatigue. The ryokan is also within a 5-minute walk of a convenience store, laundry service, and JR station, making it a great choice for a visit to Iwaki City.
