Tagoto in Aizuwakamatsu

This restaurant serves a local cuisine in daytime and staying for inn at night. Of course, the food is very good taste and serving. The service is nice. The accommodations are enough. The next day's morning call and breakfast may be a little bit earlier for city-dwellers.

Aizu Wakamatsu may not be your normal tourist destination but it is a very traditional town in Fukushima prefecture. If you visit the town, it is highly recommended to stay in an attic Japanese inn. Great Japanese meals, great bath and phenomenal good service.

Traditional Inn with great local food. Highly recommended.

Dinner was especially delicious, especially the grilled sweetfish.

Clean and warming stay. terrific cuisine

The one-night, two-meal package included delicious meals. The Japanese-style room was not a suite, and the toilet was outside the room. The bathing area was small, but the room space and bedding were comfortable, allowing us to spend a peaceful and wonderful night.

We arrived at the inn, soaked in the bath, and relaxed until dinner. The important dinner was served in a banquet-like place and was neither too bad nor too bad. We had breakfast in a room with a hearth. The breakfast had a much stronger sense of local cuisine than the dinner. For the specialty "meppameshi", we chose whitebait. The bento box was sprinkled with perilla leaves, sesame seeds, and pickled plums. Usually, it is called "wappameshi", but here it is called "meppameshi". The meal included "herring pickled in Japanese pepper", "eggplant with miso dengaku", "kozuyu", "kinpira burdock", and more. Lunch was more than enough than staying overnight.

A beautiful old traditional wooden building in a quiet street. We chose a Japanese room with floor futons though I glimpsed the interior of at least one other room which had beds. Our room was actually 2 large spaces - one set up with the futons on tatami mats and the other set up with a low table, 2 low chairs and the TV. Traditional food served and it is also possible to have lunch and dinner here as well as the breakfasts that came with the booking. We did have one dinner. The staff were absolutely wonderful, especially the chief receptionist who spoke very good English and took great care to ensure my need for gluten free food was met for breakfasts and the dinner we ate. Highly recommend this inn. The bathroom facilities including toilets were shared but never once did I have to wait my turn for the facilities. We did have to book a time for the shower. Walking distance to many of the local sights though we also hired bikes one day which saved time and were fun to use.

More a restaurant than a ryokan, the ryokan is historically there just so people can sleep by after eating. Still a good ryokan but it doesn't matter. The food is an absolutely delicious succession of traditional and original japanese dishes and countryside food. It is not cheap but that's definitely worth it. And you have to be hungry cos there is a lot to eat. The breakfast is pretty impressive too.
