Hotel Analysis
Based on 3 sites · 798 reviews
Niko Ryokan is an old traditional ryokan in Aizu-Wakamatsu's Higashiyama Onsen area. Guests often mention the 'Showa retro atmosphere' and 'onsen' in reviews.
Reviews across sites repeatedly praise the 'hot and good onsen.' Breakfast with grilled fish, miso soup, and free rice refills is hearty and tasty. The owner's kindness stands out, like giving rides or chatting.
However, the old facilities might bother those sensitive to cleanliness, with corridor smells or dust noted. Corridors can be cold in winter. Shared bathrooms and onsen require getting used to.
