    福島県に、何があるか知ってますか? 大抵の場合、原発とか3.11とかマイナスのイメージじゃないでしょうか? でも実は、何にも無いんです(笑) というのは冗談で、桃をはじめ 梨やマスカットに苺など他にもたくさんの美味しいフルーツがあり あぶくま洞や五色沼に猪苗代湖そして吾妻富士といった大自然の奇跡。 海があり山があり田畑があり、そこで生きる 素朴で純粋な素晴らしい人達が暮らしています。 程よく田舎、丁度よい都会。 そんな福島に生まれ、世界を旅し しかも、自転車での地球一周‼︎ 都会に疲れ、田舎にへたれた青年が 自分の生まれ育った美しい街を世界に発信しようと奮闘しているのが このLa Uniónという宿なんだと思います。 高級ホテルほどオシャレじゃないけど、その辺のビジネスホテルには負けてなく 民宿並みに、細かく気配りされた暖かいおもてなし。 現代人が忘れかけている古き良き風景や風情を覗いてみたくなった時にでも 怖がらず、一旦スマホを置いて風の向くまま気の向くまま、訪れては如何でしょうか? 経験豊富で知識とユーモアに溢れた心優しきオーナーさんが出迎えてくれますよ。知らんけど。

    Probably the best hostel experience I've had. I stayed one night in the shared room and one night in a double room when I decided to stay an extra night (the owner was kind enough to give me a discount as the shared rooms were fully booked). This is placed in the heart of "culture avenue" (文化通り) so there are plenty of bars & restaurants around if you want to experience some eateries/have some drinks. It's a few minutes away from the train station so is really ideal for travel. The owner can speak fluent English and a great person to chat to - he is/was an avid traveler. The breakfast was fantastic & very cheap (¥680). I would recommend this place to anyone stopping by Fukushima.

    Stayed: in a double room. All rooms are on the second floor with only stairway access. Very clean room with towels and amenities provided. Bed was comfortable, air-conditioning also great. Common areas: second floor has sinks, a kettle and a small fridge in a room with great light and basic amenities. Main area is comfortable, with the bar and eating area plus multiple places to work or read with electrical outlets. Eating/drinking: lots of imported beer to try and a small range of snacks to purchase. Cafe during day and night. Vegetarian-friendly breakfast provided which was excellent, fresh and delicious. Breakfast package is recommended.

    I booked a dorm bunk here at the last minute and had a very pleasant stay. Everything was clean and comfortable and I liked the decor. Owner was very friendly and personable despite my broken Japanese. Breakfast was delicious and I was given a good recommendation for dinner too. Would stay again!

    Recently built guesthouse. The owner is very friendly and as a former traveller himself, really tries to make sure everything you could possibly want on your trip is there. Furthermore, everything is very clean and the ground floor cafe is very stylish. Would definitely recommend if you go to Fukushima!

    Overall it is nicely set. The electric kettle was very simple and stylish. Took a while to figure out how to turn it on, but that was fun to learn. Few things next I would appreciate if they were different. 1. The locker was metal and made loud noise accessing it. 2. Wished there was a living room and kitchen. There was a microwave, refrigerator, and electric kettle, but no any other area to prepare meals. Living area was at the downstairs restaurant space and all chairs were hard and small, not for relaxing. YouTube of how to use the facility was very helpful.

    I stayed for a month in this hostel which has the friendliest and nicest owner who has lots of good recommendations for nearby attractions and restaurants. The dormitory bed or 'capsule' was very generously sized and had sturdy wooden walls to give you more privacy than a simple bunk bed would, and the entrance to it was covered by a little curtain. It had a little nightstand and lamp with a wireless charging option in it, the pillow was comfy and the duvet warm and if that wasn't enough to keep you warm (there *is* aircon in the room but someone has to put it on and other guests didn't always realize that), there's a heated mattress pad which I absolutely loved. Common areas on the second floor included bathrooms and toilets which were cleaned daily and were in an excellent condition, a little washing up area with sinks, a small fridge and a microwave and some toiletries such as earplugs, face wash, oil and even sanitary napkins if I saw correctly. Very considerate if you ask me, even if I didn't need any myself since I am a guy :D Second floor also had washing machines and dryers you could use for a small fee, plus a small area for eating and sitting in. The second floor's common areas were quite cold in march still since they're not heated, as is usually the case in japanese buildings, but if you wanted to spend time outside of the bedroom the lounge/diner area on the first floor was open in the evenings from 4pm to 10pm or a bit later and sometimes during the day (that tended to vary a little). I spent many evenings chatting with the owner and other guests at the first floor lounge which was warm and nice to sit and hang out in. Owner will also prepare breakfast and/or other meals upon request, I didn't eat breakfast there since I had to leave to work so early but saw him make them for other guests and the french toasts looked absolutely mouthwatering. Also got to taste some freshly baked breads one of the employees was practicing making, would definitely recommend trying if they start selling them! Location-wise La Union is perfectly situated, close to the station and in the middle of an area that's shock-full of little izakayas and shops. Closest restaurants are literally across the street and there's at least two convenience stores within a minute's walk and a very affordable co-op supermarket maybe a 5min walk away. And if you want to go somewhere a bit further away, you can always rent a bike from the hostel since they've got brand new electric bikes which are very handy if you want to go to places like the hanamiyama which is a bit far from the station by foot and don't want to be tied to bus schedules (or just want to go at 6am when busses aren't really operating yet like I did). Apparently they also rent tents and other camping equipment! All in all I would definitely go back again if I went to Fukushima, the hostel is definitely worth the (very affordable) price.

    Reasonably priced hostel offering great value and service. Premise was spick and span with a full fully array of amenities provided for your any need. The owner is kind and takes special care to ensure his guests feel welcome.

    Very good hostel with very nice staff! Clean, cozy hostel with good beds and quite all the utilities you would need. Also good position with lot of restaurant around but still quiet. Good coincidence that I was there for a bicycle tour through Japan and that Mr. Atsushi, the owner, did a travel of the world by bicycle. Lots of chats, lots of good advices. Highly recommended guest house!
