Mercure Urabandai Resort & Spa

Located north of Mount Aizu-Bandai, this hotel is an ideal base for exploring the magnificent natural surroundings of the Urabandai area, including the Goshikinuma Ponds, whose waters vary in color. Its all-inclusive plan lets guests enjoy their stay without worrying about additional charges for meals or lounge access.

Named after the Goshikinuma Ponds, Goshiki Onsen is a natural hot spring beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including neuralgia and joint pain. Soothe both body and mind after a day of travel while taking in the beauty of the changing seasons from the open-air rock bath or spacious communal bath. Both the Western-style and Japanese-style guest rooms feature simple designs, generous space, and a relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant serves Japanese and Western breakfast and dinner buffets featuring local ingredients. Try regional specialties such as Kitakata ramen and sauce katsudon to add another memorable experience to your trip.

In addition to sightseeing and cycling in the surrounding area, guests can relax with alcoholic or nonalcoholic drinks in the lounge before or after dinner or take a casual stroll along the walking trail on the hotel grounds.
