Mukaitaki continues its tradition of providing its guests with the quintessential Japanese ryokan experience. Upon passing through the entrance of Mukaitaki, one feels as though suddenly transported back through time to a more sophisticated yet uncomplicated era. At Mukaitaki, we strive every day to provide our guests with a wonderful and unique Japanese cultural experience. Each season brings beautiful scenic joys to experience, such as the winter candle flowers blooming nightly in the snowy winter garden.

A distinctive traditional building set deep in the forested entrance to the Higashiyama onsen. No lift/elevator, and many rooms can be accessed only by flights of steep polished hardwood stairs. No rutemburo, meals served in your room. The city loop bus stops about 100m away.

Our stay was one of the most authentic Japanese experiences we have ever had. The ryokan is from the Edo period, with beautiful enclosed verandas, fabulous hot spring baths and amazing food. Our room overlooked one of the most beautiful Japanese gardens we have seen, complete with an abundance of cherry blossoms. The room at self was Japanese style, and quite basic, adding to the overall experience. The rooms do not have a shower, this is all done , in the true Japanese style, in the onsen - we loved it!

Mukaitaki is a magnificent old building set deep in a wooded valley at the southern end of the Higashiyama onsen district. The city tour loop bus from the station stops outside. It is a formal ryokan, traditional, with kaiseki meals served in your room. Rooms are accessed by steep and sometimes multiple stairways of polished hardwood. Service was friendly, but little English is spoken, and the meals were disappointing. 3 small onsen available - no rotemburo.

I love everything. Hot springs, cuisines, services, all of them were perfect. And the night garden was marvelous(Look at the pic I uploaded). I highly recommend you visit and enjoy this traditional inn in winter. ＊ 3年ほど前貧しい学生だった頃に，Penという雑誌の表紙で雪見ろうそくを見てから，向瀧に宿泊することが私の夢でした 宿泊予定日が近づくと，毎日雪が解けてしまわないか心配で天気予報を確認したり，妹にカメラを借りたりして準備を進める中，遠足に行く前の子供のようにそわそわしていました． コロナの影響でパートナーは一緒に宿泊できなくなってしまいましたが，ひとりで過ごす時間も非常に贅沢で，美しい雪見ろうそくを好きなだけ眺めたり，5回ほど温泉に浸かったりと自由に過ごすことができました ＊温泉 さるの湯はタイミングによってはそれほど熱くないときもあり，泉質もとてもすばらしかったです．また，入れないだろうと予想していた44度のきつね湯の熱さは癖になり，1分間浸かっては上がってを繰り返すのは癖になり，新たな温泉の楽しみ方を覚えました． 貸切風呂は利用しませんでしたが，3つあるため回転率のよさが予想され，予約も不要なので利用しやすそうでした． ＊料理 会津のものが豊富で，とても丁寧に作られている印象を受けました．こづゆ，ごんぼ汁，地鶏…書ききれませんが，どれもとても美味しかったです．鯉のお刺身は海の魚の物と比べると弾力があり，甘煮は食べ入れないほどの量ではありませんでしたが，半分持ち帰って夕食のおかずとしました(パートナーは，「鰻の味がするけど鰻みたいにふわふわはしていないね」と言っていました). 牛肉や刺身の盛り合わせがメインの，いわゆる普通の宿の夕食を食べたい人には向かないのかもしれないと思いますが，私はとても満足でした． その他，すれ違うたびに挨拶をしてくださる従業員の方々や，お部屋から聞こえる水の流れなど素晴らしさは書ききれません． 伝統的な建物を保存しながら，他の高級旅館と一線を画する宿の経営を続けることはとても大変なことかと思います．しかしそれだからこそ，ここには書ききれない素晴らしさがあるのだと思います． 今度は桜や紅葉の時期に訪れてみたいです．また，いっぱい働いて両親にも宿泊券をプレゼントしたいとも思いました．…

My husband and I stayed here for one night. It is a gorgeous traditional inn, all wood with shiny floors and well-kept tatami mats in the rooms. The landscaping outside with the mountains as a backdrop is breathtaking. Even better than the beauty of the inn is the people who work there. Very kind and warm - they will do anything they can to make you feel welcome and special. I requested a special diet - I only eat vegetables and fish (no meat) and they were extremely accommodating. I felt very well taken care of. The food is local to the region, and very delicious. It’s a little bit daunting to a Westerner at first, but if you embrace it you will have no regrets. The baths were amazing in a minimal type of way. They are not made to be modern, but you can feel the history and the water leaves your skin very smooth. 10/10 experience. We will definitely return if we are ever in the area.…

We stayed two days at the Mukaitaki hotel and had an enjoyable time. The ryokan is easily accessible by bus or taxi from the train station and situated in a very quiet place where the only noise is the one of the river. If many ryokans are modern, this one is located in a 19th century house which gives a particular charm to the stay. The personnel is super nice (thank you Honda) and really want to make your stay unforgettable. There is several onsets. 2 public baths and 3 private baths. Food was really nice, served in your room. There is many things to see in Aizu and we enjoyed our stay. Definitely a place we would like to com e back with friends or family for a ryokan experience.

This ryokan was accidentally booked. It was a pure Japanese style inn and I was satisfied. The food was the right amount for me and I enjoyed it slowly. The hot springs had several old-fashioned style baths. There are also family baths (private baths) that can be used freely as long as they are available, so it is also good for overseas travelers. I couldn't put it because the bath was a little hot (43 ℃). Since it is a mountain inn, there are spider webs and insects in the garden (it can't be helped because it's summer). There was a festival on the day I stayed. I'm glad I could do it slowly because there were no group tourists.この旅館は偶然、予約が取れました。純日本風の旅館であり、私は満足しました。料理は私にとって適切な量であり、ゆっくり堪能しました。温泉は古風な様式の風呂がいくつかありました。また、家族風呂（貸切風呂）もあり、空いていれば自由に使うことができるので、海外の旅行者にもいいと思います。大浴場のおゆが少し熱い（43℃）なので私は入れなかった。山間の旅館なので、蜘蛛の巣や虫が庭にいます（夏なので仕方がない）。私が宿泊した日には、お祭りがありました。団体旅行客がいないので、ゆっくり出来てよかった。…

The staff here are top notch and were the best part of the stay. The food was interesting. The inn is quite expensive but is probable worth it to those who value a traditional ryokan experience and Japanese history (such as the inn’s relationship with Dr. Noguchi). Pay extra for a room with a garden view if you splurge to stay here.
