RiverAbout
Harataki is a ryokan in the Higashiyama Onsen area of Aizuwakamatsu, and the inn takes its name from the natural waterfall, Harataki (原滝), that you see from the bath. The rotenburo is the reason to come: you soak facing the falls and the river valley, with the sound of the water and the breeze off the river. Men and women bathe separately, and there is a large indoor bath as well, called Sennin-buro (千人風呂, "thousand-person bath"). There are four private viewing baths, named for the waterfall, the moon, the snow and the stars, and a few of the special rooms have their own onsen bath with a view. Day visitors can use the baths in the afternoon, and the private baths can be booked for day use too. Families are welcome, with baby baths and children's yukata.
