About
Kounkaku invites guests to experience panoramic vistas of the Abukuma mountains from its elevated hillside location in Fukushima Dake Onsen, where thoughtfully positioned rooms and open-air baths frame the magnificent landscape that changes character with the seasons. The ryokan's therapeutic acidic waters, cloudy with mineral content and carrying subtle sulfur notes, flow from distant sprouting points to fill multiple bathing facilities, including two indoor tubs of different temperatures and two open-air options that create diverse experiences for onsen enthusiasts. Clean, orderly facilities maintained with meticulous attention to detail ensure a comfortable stay, while the tranquil atmosphere allows for complete relaxation in this serene mountain retreat where Japanese bathing traditions are honored with authentic simplicity.
