野地溫泉酒店 (Noji Onsen Hotel)

The hotel provides free shuttle from Fukushima sta and that helps a lot for foreign tourists. Location is up in the mountain, and that is desirable to get some snow and outdoor onsen. Main reasons to choose the hotel: sulphuric hot spring, cypress bath, and quaint off the beaten path place. Because the market is mainly domestic, meals are kaiseki for both breakfast and dinner, which for me would be much better if it's buffet of japanese and western items. Before arrival, have communicated in advance with the hotel in regards to transportation etc etc, and the staff had been very kind and responsive. Hope Noji Onsen will get more foreign tourists in the future.
