Mukaitaki has a very warm, relaxed, welcoming atmosphere and I would heartily recommend it to anyone seeking a ryokan in Aizu. The food an its presentation are beyond compare with delicious flavors and aromas at each meal! The views from our room onto the garden are splendid. The staff are very friendly, caring and extremely welcoming. I thoroughly enjoyed the baths both private and ladies bath and found the Mukaitaki a very charming ryokan and look forward to returning some day. My son and his family also plan to travel to Aizu to stay at Mukaitaki.

This was a great place, with helpful people. Just keep in mind taht it is an older building with lots of wood and tatami mats, and we needed allergy pills, being used to completely dead & sterile environments. I would highly recommend coming here.

There was nothing this ryokan lacked! It was the most beautiful I have stayed in with the best value! It had a charming atmosphere and the two main baths were absolutely gorgeous! The staff was so kind and brought us steamed sweet potatoes on our first evening and sent us home with Nagano apples and a little omiyage! And it was so close to the snow monkeys which are a must visit! There are not enough words to explain how amazing this place was and I would go back to Yudanaka just for another night.

The atmosphere of the hotel is very lovely. The Japanese garden with the koi pond is very relaxing. Also, the hot spring is a nice addition to the experience. The breakfast is one of the best I've ever had.

Great place for an authentic Ryokan stay without leaving Tokyo. It was a little bit tricky to find initially and unfortunately the poor weather made it a bit of a pain to get to and fro. The staff were excellent and had good English. Made use of the private bath area which was very relaxing after a busy day of sightseeing. Highly recommended.

Homeikan is a fantastic place to stay in Tokyo. It is a beautiful old traditional Japanese inn, all wooden, very unusual. The staff are excellent. and the rooms very comfortable, all with tatami mats, and a lot of character. The only drawbacks are that there are shared bathrooms, in the Japanese style, and the walls are thin, so if anyone near you is being noisy at night, you do hear it.

Great hotel. Very relaxing. Staff/service is excellent. My only complaint is I could not get internet in my room(yuki), even with wifi.

I stay here twice, and has a good location to go by train and subway, near Tokyo dome the house of giants. A traditional ryokan in the middle of Tokyo. What can you demand more?

Mukaitaki is a very beautiful, traditional Japanese inn. It greatly exceeded our expectations. The rooms are immaculately clean. The onsen is lovely. Your staff are very friendly and anticipated all of our needs. Some speak very good English. It would be helpful if the people serving meals know more English words for foods. It would also help to have an English menu-or a menu in Hiragana or Katakana. Thank you for a wonderful time!

Tachibana Shikitei is the finest ryokan that ensures you a special comfort with traditonal, Japanese quality services. Established in the beginning of Meiji Era. Relax and enjoy soothing the 100% natural hot spring water and savor the Japanese kaiseki cuisine.

Petit Ichifuji was a pleasant little ryokan a short distance from Ozone station. If you would like to try the ryokan experience i'd recommend it - good price, pleasant staff, nice rooms but 15mins or so from Sakae though if you want to go out.
