This is a traditional Japanese Onsen Ryokan with the option of Rotemburo for a fully authentic Onsen experience. The room sport traditional Japanese tatami and shoji coupled with comfortable futon beds that will lull you into some of the sweetest slumbers. However, those are not the best features of Aihoukan; Eri-san is the hallmark of service excellence. Coming from a tropical country, I have very little experience of maintaining a car in snowy climate. Eri-san took really good care of me and the rental by helping us to clear the snow accumulated on the car without us asking. In addition, I have carelessly left my camera charger and battery at the Ryokan, but Eri-san went over and beyond to mail the charger and battery to my hotel in my next destination. Kudos to the great service and facilities at Aikouhan; they didn’t just make my holiday, they’ve saved it.

A comfortable stay in a rural onsen town

The housekeepers are nice and can communicate with English. While the facilities are getting old, they are still functional and tidy. The room is bigger than the normal one for two people. A note is that Hirayu Onsen is a small onsen town, that does not have a big soueveir street, making us to stay at the ryokan whole night to enjoy the onsen.

pretty place. Clean and close to the bus station.

Best experience for us during our Japan trip. The place is super clean. The decoration is on point. Staff is extra extra friendly and helpful. We loved everything about this place. Plus on top of that, we came there during the Sakura season so it wasn't crowded at all and we got to use the hot spring all to ourselves. I would definitely come back again if I happen to visit Japan next time.

坐旅平湯車站後，很容易找到！寧靜環境，山上郊區，別有一番風味。旅館不大，只有十數間房間，幾位職員，具有warm的感覺。員工非常體貼，為你準備豐富晚餐。自駕離開前，用熱水沖洗車窗的結霜！很贊！！！

Traditional onsen hotel with very kind host.

It is a traditional small onsen hotel which offers a comfortable stay. Great location as it is just next to the bus station. The host is warm hearted and hospitable.

Great service

Attendant was very careful and thoughtful about all queries although she speaks very little English. Air-conditioning was old style but the weather was good so we left the windows open. The outdoor bath was small but comfortable and clean. Food was good too.

家庭的なおもてなしに大満足

親子３代で営まれているようで，家庭的な温かいおもてなしに満足しました． １人旅でしたが夕食は部屋食でゆったりできました． 他の客が少なかったからかも知れませんが，地ビールを飲みたいと話していたら夕食に間に合うように用意して頂けました． 平湯温泉には源泉が４０ヶ所位あり泉質も異なります．宿の温泉と異なる硫黄系の「ひらゆの森」の入館券を格安で販売されているので両方の温泉を満喫できました． またお世話になりたいと思っています．
