B&Bs in Iwaki

This was my favorite stay during my trip! Surrounded by the countryside, this 280 years old house has all the charms of its age, but still reasonably modern amenities. The staff is especially friendly, helpful, and welcoming. And you can get amazing home-cooked meals too! If you want to go out of the beaten path and explore the rural side of Japan, this is absolutely the best place!

This guesthouse is truly special. The accommodation (we chose the amazing family room) has been beautifully restored, the private onsen with incredible alkaline waters was fantastic after a long day of walking and driving. The area is indescribably peaceful, a beautiful rural hideaway to be at peace with the world. The river and shrine nearby were spectacular. We would strongly recommend both dinner and breakfast - Maki is an amazing chef using fresh local ingredients and tailoring the menu to our needs. Perhaps the best aspect was our hosts, who made us feel completely at home. Our only regret was not staying longer - we’ll be returning!
