I was surprised to hear that it was closed. It's sad because it also appeared in Hanasaki Iroha. I want to go to the sacred place of Hanasaki Iroha next year.

I stayed here in July 2017. Perhaps the reason Koreans come here is because of the animation “The First Step to Blooming.” Me too. The exterior is just as it appears in the anime.The ryokan itself was full of Japanese-style service, including bringing a multi-course meal called kaiseki to the room and straightening out the blankets. However, the building is generally old, especially the air conditioner/heater, which looks like it was from the 80s. I don't think there are separate non-smoking/smoking areas, but I'm not sure because I didn't ask. However, since I said I don't smoke, they removed the ashtray from the table. The room I stayed in had a cigarette smell that gave me a bit of a headache at first.The room looked old, but was kept as clean as possible and had an in-room safe and refrigerator. There is yuzu cider, a Yuwaku specialty, in the refrigerator, so you can drink it and pay later. The bathroom in the room did not have a bidet, and the sink had toothbrushing tools, paper towels, and pump soap. There is no bathtub or shower in the room, so you have to use the hot springs.The hot spring facility is on the second floor and has a vending machine. The hot spring water is really good, and the open-air bath has a great view, so I think it's the essence of Japanese hot springs. I came in the summer and the water was hot, but I think it would be the optimal temperature in the winter. The hot springs provide body wash, foam cleansing soap, disposable razors, and skin lotion, so you do not need to bring anything with you.On the second floor, there is a gallery dedicated to the first steps toward flowering. There is also a guestbook of people from Japan and other East Asian countries, so it is fun to look through their illustrations and writings. You can also use it. The gallery really has everything related to Hanairo. Posters, panels, magazines, articles, etc. There was also a portable player, but I don't know if it was turned off or not working, but it was turned off. There is also a simple exhibition hall on the wall on the first floor, so it is worth a look.Nakai-san, who was in charge of me, was a woman estimated to be in her 40s or older, and she was kind. While we were having dinner, he told us about a lighting ceremony at a nearby shrine and talked to us about many things. Since I can speak Japanese, I wrote it from beginning to end in Japanese, but I do not recommend it to those who do not know Japanese. There is no sign in English anywhere in the ryokan. The only language written in English or Korean is on the hot spring usage information posters distributed by Yuwaku Village at the hot springs. I think there were a couple of young male employees in the ryokan, but I couldn't tell if they spoke English well, so it's best not to expect anything. Okami-san came out to meet me when I checked out and watched with Nakai-san until we disappeared from sight.Those who come to see the first flowers bloom will have the pleasure of staying in a sacred place, but even if not, you will fall in love with Yuwaku Village's quiet and elegant atmosphere, friendly staff, and good hot springs. I would like to stay again in winter.Prices are generally set between 15,000 and 20,000 yen, and the price difference will vary depending on whether you are staying in a premium or standard room and what you eat for dinner. The basic kaiseki course may contain dishes that do not suit Korean tastes (especially seafood. There was grilled loach, which is said to be a specialty of Kanazawa, but I only remember it being really fishy...), so I recommend choosing a course that includes meat. The photo is the breakfast menu.

I used it when I went on a pilgrimage to the sacred site of the anime "Hanasaku Iroha", which is set in Yuwaku Onsen.In the anime, it appears as Yuina Wakura's inn, Fukuya.Despite asking a lot of rude questions,Mr. Nakai was very kind.I am satisfied with the cleanliness of the room, quietness, bath, and food.I would like to use it again when I stop by Yuwaku.
