Takayu's best-known inn: a thatched bath hut from 1868 and garden rock baths full of free-flowing, bluish-milky sulphur water — with dated rooms, thin walls and a paid private bath
Tamagoyu has stood at Takayu, one of the 'three Takayu of Ōshū', since 1868, and its thatched bath hut from that first year — men's and women's sides, the changing area open to the tub like an old village bath — is the inn's emblem. The water is an acidic sulphur spring (pH 2.8, 44°C) that flows out of the ground by itself and down to the baths by gravity, with no added water or heating; in 2010 the inn made a formal 'free-flowing declaration', the first in Tohoku. Besides the hut there are two garden rock baths, Tenkei-no-yu and Tenshō-no-yu, that swap between men and women, two indoor baths, a foot bath and a private open-air bath by the stream, Seoto (45 minutes for ¥2,200 in October 2025). Japanese guests rate it 4.46 across 1,037 reviews on one major site (baths 4.65) and 4.5 across 1,415 on another, where baths score 4.9 but rooms only 3.9. Bloggers who stayed between 2023 and 2025, and 2026 reviewers, praise the water above all, plus homely seasonal kaiseki or a Chinese course in the dining rooms and free drinks during set hours. The catches: an old building with thin walls (2026 guests heard snoring next door), no climate control or air-conditioning in some rooms, a toilet smell and a broken lock in two 2026 reviews, outdoor baths reached in yukata with no washing area, the hut and one indoor bath too hot for some, salty breakfasts for others, and a tattoo ban. Day bathers share the baths until 20:00. Plans with two meals mostly run about ¥19,000–27,000 per person on one major site in 2026.
Guía para elegir habitación
Lo que recomiendan quienes se han alojado aquíRecomendadas
Superior Japanese-style rooms (10 mats, or 10+3 mats for up to six)
The roomier types: a blogger who stayed in April 2024 had a 10+3-mat room with its own bath and toilet and a window over the garden, the bath hut and the stream, and an October 2025 blogger who booked a slightly better room found the tatami brand-new — about ¥49,000 for two with meals via a booking site. Several 2026 guests found renovated, clean interiors, though one in the 13-mat room in October 2026 could not adjust the heating and borrowed a heater.
Economy Japanese-style rooms beside the lift (6–7.5 mats, no bath)
The cheapest type, sometimes sold as an 'imperfect' (wakeari) room, but 2026 guests liked them: one in June 2026 looked straight out on the open-air baths, the thatched hut and the foot bath, and an August 2026 guest could see a small waterfall. All 50 rooms are Japanese-style and face the garden; only some (such as the 8-mat Twin and Standard types) have their own bath.
Mejor evitar
Standard 10-mat rooms and the beds in the Twin rooms
The most-booked type has a toilet but no bath. In 2026 guests in these rooms heard neighbours' snoring and talk through the walls (June), noticed a toilet smell and no air-conditioner on a hot day (May), and found the lock broken (October; the room scored 2/5). A January 2026 guest in a 10-mat Twin found the beds too soft and woke with back pain.

La cocina a fondo
Consenso sobre el desayuno
4.1/5A set Japanese breakfast in the dining room, built around a steamed basket of pork and vegetables served under a thatched-hut-shaped lid, with kenchin soup, onsen egg, homemade yoghurt and self-service juice, milk, coffee and rice or okayu — praised for Aizu rice and a strawberry smoothie, though 2026 reviewers on both major sites found the side dishes too salty
Book the private open-air bath Seoto at check-in (an October 2025 blogger paid ¥2,200 for 45 minutes and collected the key at the front desk). Order extras such as the Fukushima wagyu steak (¥5,500) by 18:00. Bring your own loungewear if you like — a July 2026 guest found the yukata thin and narrow — and buy any late-night beer before the free-drinks hours end, as there's none on sale afterwards.
Claves de la cena
4.2/5Dinner is served in the dining rooms (some private, some with tables or a garden view), not in your room: either a seasonal kaiseki of mostly local mountain produce or a Chinese course that repeat guests choose on purpose. An October 2025 blogger had marinated mackerel, sanma grilled on cedar, a mushroom and soy-milk shabu-shabu and nameko soba; an April 2024 blogger on a Fukushima wagyu sukiyaki plan found it too much food. 2026 reviewers mostly praise careful, home-style cooking with Fukushima dishes, though one found the portions small and another's extra river fish wasn't freshly grilled. Two-night stays get a different menu the second night.
Onsen y bienestar: la realidad
An acidic sulphur spring (acidic, sulphur-containing aluminium-calcium sulphate type, pH 2.8, about 44°C) that flows out naturally; the inn pipes it by gravity from four sources, adds no water and no heat, and keeps it 100% free-flowing. The colour varies from bluish-milky to nearly clear — some 2026 guests found only the outdoor baths cloudy.
Seven bathing spots: the thatched hut Tamagoyu (from 1868, separate men's and women's sides, changing area in the same room as the tub), the garden rock baths Tenkei-no-yu and Tenshō-no-yu (of different sizes, swapping between men and women so you can usually try both in one stay), the private open-air bath Seoto (paid, by reservation), the large indoor Taki-no-yu, the small indoor Senki-no-yu and a foot bath. The garden baths have no washing area and are reached by changing into outdoor footwear and walking out in yukata. Posted rules ask for no more than 10 minutes per soak, three soaks a day and never bathing alone. Some 2026 guests found the hut and one indoor bath too hot; others found the water pleasantly mild. Day visitors use the baths 11:00–14:00 and 16:00–20:00 (¥1,300 from April 2026); a July 2026 guest found it busy but not crowded.
Not allowed: the inn's official bath page says people with tattoos may not use the baths.
Advertencias y matices locales
- 01
Check-in 15:00 (until 21:00), check-out 10:00.
- 02
Getting there: the inn's shuttle bus (reservation required) leaves JR Fukushima Station's west exit at 14:30 and returns from the inn at 10:00, taking about 30 minutes; otherwise a bus or taxi. Free parking for 50 cars. The Bandai-Azuma Skyline beyond Takayu closes in winter (from November 2025 to 21 April 2026), and the inn asks drivers to check for snow until about the end of April.
- 03
Children from age 3 pay a child rate; a June 2026 guest with a three-year-old got a meal suited to an older child and found the baths too hot for the child.
- 04
An old building with thin walls; one 2026 guest found no staff at the front desk after 21:00, and another found no ice machine. Snakes have been seen on the rocks near the open-air baths in summer, and in 2026 the inn added electric fences and sensor lights as a bear precaution.
- 05
Free drinks, including alcohol, are served during set hours (until about 21:00, a 2026 guest wrote), with espresso in the lobby. From late May to late June 2026 the thatched hut's roof was being repaired and some baths closed on weekday daytimes — check the inn's news page for any works.
