It was a wonderful inn!Hot spring tours are a wonderful and modern way to enjoy many hot springs.The creative Japanese-French cuisine has a deliciousness that you can't find in other Japanese cuisine.I was satisfied with everything from the service to the baths to the food!20,000 yen is too cheap!

I visited the hot springs while staying at Kyubey Ryokan. It also has the only drinking fountain in Yutagawa Onsen, and is one of the hotels where you can fully enjoy the hot springs from the inside.

Visited here after a walk in Tohoku.I happened to find it on the internet and made a reservation.Well, perfect. The facilities are simple and everything you want isThis is a ryokan that has at least everything you need, which is enough.(It looks like the image has changed a lot after the renovation. It's modern and stylish!)As soon as we arrived, we received a polite greeting and an explanation of the facility.You can also use the baths at sister inns other than this one, so you can enjoy a variety of hot springs. Each bath has its own personality and is quite nice!Even though they are not our guests, the staff at each ryokan are polite and kind, and we can have pleasant conversations with them.Now, this inn has the best food!Each item is carefully made and has a strong taste.The taste is good, including red and white sashimi, original sesame tofu, and corn mousse, but the dishes are also carefully crafted and are pleasing to the eye. Of course I enjoy drinking, but I also want to enjoy the food properly.To be honest, I never expected to find such delicious food. My heart is very satisfied.All the dishes were delicious, but the ochazuke was the best! I definitely want you to try the grilled sea bream chazuke.The hardness of the rice, the taste of the soup stock, the grilled sea bream and other ingredients,It's already perfect💯I encountered the most delicious chazuke in my life.I'm full, but I want to keep eating.Ah, my stomach hurts. But I want to eat it.Too delicious!! ︎P.S.Breakfast is also seriously amazing!There are so many side dishes, such as silver cod, salmon roe, squid sashimi, hot spring eggs, and miso soup, that you will want to keep eating. (I settled for 3 cups.) By the way, the desserts are also voluminous, so if you want to eat the whole thing, you need to know your limit and pace yourself accordingly.After that, I took a bath again until the last minute to check out, so I was sweaty. This is the first time I've been to a ryokan where I thought, "I don't want to go back!"

I heard that it had been renovated as a sister hotel to Kyubei Ryokan, so my wife and son (1 year old) stayed there.The parking lot is at the back, so if you park your car in front of the inn, you'll be guided there. I found it first, so I parked before the guide.I have a 1-year-old son, so I chose this hotel because it had a private dining room and baths for private use each time, and I was very satisfied with the results.The room is not big, but it is clean and easy to use. You can hear people talking in the next room, but it's tolerable. There is no bath in the room, but the toilet is TOTO's latest toilet with an automatic lid opening!I think the bathroom is probably just the changing room that has been renovated. In addition, in the bath on the first floor, you can't change the temperature of the shower, the water just comes out at the right temperature, so if you want to take a shower, I think the cypress bath on the second floor is better. Each bath is designed so that the sign at the entrance changes to indicate when you are taking a bath and the inside key is occupied.I went in about 5 times during my stay, and none of them were empty.Since it was a private bath, they didn't seem to have a hair dryer, but it wasn't a problem because I could go back to my room right away.The food I was looking forward to was amazing and delicious both in the evening and in the morning! !Personally, I thought the dessert was elaborate and very delicious.The staff were attentive and made me feel very comfortable.It was a wonderful inn that I would like to visit at least once a year.
