This hotel is located at around 3 min of walk from the JR Bandai-Atami Station! The walk is a pleasant simple short walk with just one turn, so it was quite convenient for me with all our luggage.||||I had a Japanese/western Room, which is a room with traditional decoration and set up, while the beds are actual fixed beds instead of Futons that will be stowed away during the day time. A very clean and spacious Lavatory (*the showers are with the hot spring bath). Different room sections are separated by Shoji doors just like what a traditional Japanese style room would be. It is very comfortable and relaxing to just stay in the room for tea after a day of travelling!||||This location is reachable directly from your arrival into Narita Airport. The station is just 1 extra train trip from the JR Koriyama Shinkansen Super Express Station. However, even if you have an earlier arrival (12PM) to Narita, you might get to the hotspring at 6PM, which might be quite a hurry if you intend to enjoy the full set dinner at the hotel. I suggest you to take the Breakfast option only. There are restaurants around the hotel, Maruyoshi Udon is highly recommended, a cozy little shop run by a very nice owner, remember to try out the Local Sake (Rice Wine) too! The Cafe Bar at the Hotel offers simple dishes and Ramen from 8PM on wards.||||The Hot Spring is a 500 year old hot spring with a legend that cures the illness of a Princess back in history. The hotel also owns its own Spring, which is only available at this hotel. The hot spring pool is on the top floor of the hotel, with an indoor pool and a smaller outdoor pool with sauna, over looking the mountains and the hot spring town. Baths are gender segregated, and for your enjoyment of the both pools, the pools are closed at around 1930PM to switch sides and for cleaning.||||The Buffet style Breakfast is Japanese style also with some Western dishes, made with fresh local ingredients, served on the 2/F of the hotel.||||Bandai-Atami is a nice stop if you are intending to travel from Tokyo towards...

Read moreI cannot begin to express how much I enjoyed my time at Eirakukan. The staff was so accommodating (my Japanese is Very Bad but they went above and beyond to help), the meals were a work of art, and the building - while old - you could tell was well taken care of and loved. The rooms were gorgeous and dinner was my favorite part of the day. The amount of care and thought the staff put into every single detail of the ryokan was simply incredible. I only just left, and I cannot wait to go back. Eirakukan, thank you so much for...
