Performance time is 16:00-18:00 The sound of the shamisen combined with the sound of the babbling river makes it even more charming...

The "Nomaki Onsen" in the Aizuwakamatsu area of ​​Fukushima Prefecture, where Okawa-so is located, is a hot spring town that opened 1,200 years ago. The spring temperature is about 60 degrees, colorless and odorless. It is said to improve cold body and nourish the skin. Another most special feature of this hot spring hotel is that it is 99% similar to Infinity City of the popular Japanese anime "Demon Slayer" One day hotel lobby lobby area is the legendary Infinity City in the ghost destruction, here is a floating stage, every day from 4 pm to 6 pm there will be a live performance of shamisen, super excited😆 Access: Take the Tohoku Shinkansen (about 1 hour and 26 minutes) → Konyama → Take the Pangoshi West Line (about 1 hour express) → Aizu Wakamatsu → Take the Aizu Railway (about 25 minutes) → Atsunomaki Onsen → Take the free shuttle bus (about 10 minutes) → Arrive at Okawaso

The lobby was very nice 💓 There is a shamisen performance in the lobby from 4pm to 6pm! The room was also very nice! There is a shuttle from Aizu-Wakamatsu Station, so it is easy to get to even if you don't have a car, so I recommend it 😸 We had dinner in a semi-private room at night. The room was a little cold, but the inn staff brought a heater ^_^ The photo shows sirloin steak, which was very delicious ♪ The final dish of the meal was Aizu soba, which I was surprised to see! It was very delicious 🥰 There was also an open-air bath and sauna, so I was very satisfied! !
