My wife wanted to go so I made a reservation.Even before we arrived, they told us where to park and provided us with information about our travel destination, and were very courteous!Although I arrived a little late, I was warmly welcomed and the dinner was great! (As others have written, it's best to come hungry) The drinks are also great! The hot springs were also great!The hot springs look a little like sulfur springs.There was shampoo, conditioner, face wash, and body soap.It was raining on the way back, so I had to drop them off at the parking lot.I would have been happy if there was shaving cream in the amenities, but other than that it was very good.I think there are two of us, so please take care of yourself.We highly recommend this place when you come to Yunohira Onsen.(It may not be necessary as it will fill you up, but there are no convenience stores nearby, so I recommend buying snacks in the city.)

My husband and I stayed in a separate room called "Sara".I was able to spend a really relaxing time in a spacious two-room Japanese-style room with a hot spring bath.The cleaning is thorough and clean, and you can see that they are paying close attention to the air conditioning throughout the room.Usually when I travel, I often have trouble sleeping because of the heat, but I was very happy that I was able to sleep soundly until morning here.Hot springs will also make your skin smooth.The food prepared by the host was delicious, and I enjoyed the warm conversation with the hostess.Above all, I felt the wonderful personalities of the couple.The restoration of the hot spring town seems to be halfway done, but if you want to spend a quiet and relaxing time, this inn is definitely worth a visit.

A small inn run by a handsome couple. The hallways, rooms, and toilets are very clean. The open-air bath was also very nice.The food was also delicious.I strolled around the hot spring town, but there were no big hotels, and it was a hot spring town full of atmosphere that would make you forget time.

This is my first time using it. There are still areas undergoing restoration work. I made a reservation 3 months in advance. I received a phone call right after I made the reservation and they were very courteous. On the same day, I received a phone call with instructions on parking. The explanation was thorough and easy to understand. This time I stayed at a detached sala room with a bath in the room. Although it was used by two people, I was surprised at how spacious and clean it was. The windows were clean and there weren't many insects even though we were in the mountains.It was said that it was undergoing renovations. The veranda was quite wide and the view was good. I was curious about a private house nearby, so I asked about it and was told it was vacant. The charm of the room bath is that it can be used 24 hours a day. There was also an explanation of nearby sightseeing, so we were able to enjoy the night even if we arrived early. However, if you are going to walk on cobblestone streets, I think it would be better not to wear geta. The proprietress, San, also has a gentle atmosphere that is quite relaxing. My husband, San, was also being served while the food was being cooked, and it was also a soothing atmosphere.On the day of the event, I asked for beef tataki, and they happily obliged. The ingredients were locally produced and consumed and the food was delicious. It was so delicious that I forgot to have dinner...Breakfast was also served hot.The bath was also available for private use and I was able to enjoy the hot water.I can understand why it is highly rated. However, there are a lot of stairs and steps, so if you have bad feet or are not good at walking, I think it's better to understand this and use it.
