Otaki Hotel

Otaki Hotel (大滝旅館, Otaki Ryokan) is an inn in the hills of Hirono, Fukushima, reached by a short drive inland from Route 6. The baths are indoors and separated by gender: a mineral bath (kozen-buro, 鉱泉風呂) and an herbal bath (yakuto, 薬湯). Guests mention stepping out to cool off with a view of the mountains between soaks. The inn has an older main building with Japanese-style rooms and the baths, and a newer annex with business-hotel style rooms. Meals are for guests and lean on local ingredients. There is free parking.
