This ryokan is the closest to the road as you enter the road from the national highway to Yunoko Lakeside. It feels old everywhere due to aging, so I wouldn't recommend it to people who don't like old accommodations, but the hot springs are nice and the food is delicious. However, there is no open-air bath, and the taste of the food may be a little strong. Although I had some troubles during my stay, the hostess was very responsive and I was able to relax and rest. I've stayed at several inns on the shores of Lake Yuno, and I think they are good ones.[Revisit in October 2024]Good spring quality as always. One of the attractions is that guests can use the private bath for free without making a reservation when the hotel is vacant. I think the food is better than before, but the tempura was cold and a little hard.However, there was more than I could eat, and it was simple and delicious.There is no air conditioner in the room, so I think I will need to take measures against the cold from now on. But it's strange because after taking a bath, you don't feel sticky and your body stays warm for a long time.If you are visiting for the first time, you may be surprised by the age of the building and facilities, but I think you will be satisfied with the baths, meals, and the care of the landlady.I know that the cloudy sulfur springs corrode all the equipment quickly, and that it costs more to maintain and manage than other hot springs, but it was a good hotel that I would like to stay at forever.

Hot springs are evaluated for their hot water, food, and hospitality. That's completely cleared up here. It's true, the building is old and dilapidated, but if you ask me what I'm here for, I think it's for bathing and hospitality.

It was a wonderful inn where the landlady took care of us in many ways. The building is old and there are no air conditioners in the rooms. There didn't seem to be many refrigerators, but they went out of their way to move them. The bath is a sulfur spring and can be visited on a day trip.It was an inn that made me feel like it was probably full of people.

A bath with free-flowing water from the private hot spring source feels great

I took a day trip to the hot springs at 12:30 on weekdays in June.Are there two types of hot springs, private hot springs and shared hot springs?Apparently the women's bath isn't that hot, but the men's bath is hot!Maybe the private hot spring is hot.Fight by repeating 10 seconds of bathing, pouring hot water on a chair, pouring hot water is also hot~Still, Yumoto Onsen was rich in ingredients and the best.Recommended for those who want to enjoy hot springs and love hot food.It was a good experience renting a large communal bath.I would like to use the hot springs again

I used it for a day trip bath.The entrance is unclear whether it is open or not, hand towels are not sold (sold out?), and the bathroom cannot be described as clean.Honestly, I think I would hesitate.but! The hot springs have a strong sulfur scent and are extremely hot because they flow straight through without adding water. The hot springs are of the highest quality. It’s the best♨️

I used it when I went to Yumoto Onsen with a friend.This is a wonderful ryokan located right in front of Lake Yuno where you can enjoy a spectacular view of Lake Yuno from your room.The hot springs are so thick with sulfur that it's irresistible.The food was delicious and I ended up drinking too much! 🤣

I went there in the past on a school trip.I think it's different now than it was back then.A Japanese doll is displayed at the front.However, no ghosts appeared.(I had a friend who is very spiritual check this out)The smell of sulfur clings to my clothes,I couldn't get rid of that smell for 5 days.I remember.I had a hot image of hot springs.The shower temperature is difficult to control.Although the front floor has a dim atmosphere,The people at the inn are kind.
