Great overall rating! It's a hotel.The food is also great. Does the head chef train in Kansai? The arrangement seemed to be Kansai style.The hot springs are also great.But...!There is no air conditioning, so you can't stop sweating after getting out of the hot spring!The water is of good quality and does not get cold.Do you have any measures against the heat?After taking a bath, I hugged an air purifier to cool off from the heat.Is this area about 1300m above sea level? Normally I don't need air conditioning, but I'm worried because it's getting hot these days due to global warming.

I was hesitant to use this hotel because it was within day trip distance from my home. The results should have come sooner. Cheers to a blissful space.

My wife and I have very good memories of traveling and staying here. There is a sulfur spring from the source in the room. Although it is a bit hot at times, I enjoy the gentle breeze blowing from the forest and the rain in the rainy season.There are not many rooms in this hotel, which is like a B&B. The service staff are very kind. We drove a taxi to the hotel. Although we expressed and communicated in English, the service staff patiently understood and responded to our needs. Thank you very much.The quality of the hotel's dinner and breakfast was very good. We enjoyed it very much and were very full. The Tochigi Wagyu beef was indeed delicious and satisfying. We liked it very much.Although we only stayed for one night, after we left, my wife and I still missed it when we returned to Taiwan. I told my wife that we should visit this hotel again next year.

If you want to escape the crowded touristy areas and find a quiet little hotel in a beautiful setting with top notch service then this is a great choice. Yunoko is a small gorgeous lake up above Lake Chuzenji. The people working at Okunikko Yu No Mori were so friendly and welcoming. Meal service was wonderful, skilled wait staff seemed to bring an endless series of courses, everything beautiful and delicious. I went for an early morning walk up by the hot springs source and saw several monkeys! Very happy I decided to add this stop to my Japan trip, thank you!

It's a very relaxing summer resort in the Kanto region, and I think it's fun for those who love forest bathing 🌲🪵From welcoming us to seeing us off, the wife treated us warmly💁🏻The smell of sulfur spreads all over the place and makes you wonder if there is any living thing🐝🪰🦟The odor sticks to my clothes and doesn't come off even after washing! That's about it🙅It was a very comfortable stay, from the meals to the room 👍

It is a hot spring resort located in a place rich in nature.You can enjoy the sulfur hot springs slowly.All rooms are equipped with an open-air bath, but a separate private bath is also available. The next morning, it will be separated by gender.Sulfur hot springs are very pleasant and warm both body and mind. Also, because it is surrounded by nature, the air is delicious and you can relieve your fatigue.However, although it is a restaurant, you eat with other customers, so there is no sense of privacy. You can also hear other customers' conversations. It also comes into view.However, other than that, there are coffee and ice cream in the hallway that you can drink anytime, so overall I was satisfied.
