Nasu Nogahara Onsen Hotel Aoki

I’ve stayed here many times, and on this visit I received a new welcome sweets voucher at check-in. It’s a recently introduced service that lets you enjoy desserts in the dining hall. With the free breakfast, private bath, and game area, the value is already outstanding—I was almost worried about how they make it work—but they’ve improved their services even further, which honestly made me feel a bit guilty (in a good way). Since it was strawberry season, I had strawberries and a strawberry smoothie, and both were delicious. I was completely satisfied with this stay as well. I’ll be back again!

This was my sixth stay.Amazingly, it snowed even though it was March, and soaking in the Onsen while snow fell around the open-air bath was incredible.Since we stayed two nights, we didn’t go anywhere on the day in between—we simply enjoyed the Onsen and fully recharged with a proper therapeutic soak.Next time as well, I’m thinking of making a Reservation for a Multiple Night Stay of two nights and enjoying the Onsen to the fullest.
