Kutsurogijuku Chiyotaki is a traditional ryokan in the Higashiyama Onsen area of Aizuwakamatsu. Japanese-style rooms and onsen baths (tattoos NOT allowed, but you can book a private one for an additional fee in case you have one) give this place a quiet, relaxed feel. Breakfast and dinner are typically served at the ryokan, with a focus on local dishes. A good option if you’re looking for a traditional onsen stay a little outside the city center.

If you came without a car, you can still explore the city using the Aizu Loop Bus, which has a stop near the ryokan. The official website has timetables, and further down the page you can also find an English map with all bus stops.
