I think it's a hidden gem in Yunohira. The inn has been renovated and is beautiful, and the hot water is beautiful. The food is also delicious. However, the location may be a little difficult. The price is reasonable and recommended. You can spend a quiet and relaxing time here.

The rice was great, but I'm posting this for the first time since no information is available. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious.Dinner consisted of many main dishes, and it was a wonderful meal that was pleasing to both the eye and the palate. It's a very luxurious private room meal for the price. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish all of it because they brought it one after another and there was a lot of food. For breakfast (4th photo), the peanut tofu was chewy and I really liked it. Everything seems to be handmade by the landlady.The rooms are clean and the baths are private. Since there were only a few customers, there was no particular time limit, and the temperature was not too hot so we were able to stay in for a long time.There are no convenience stores, so if you need anything in advance, you'll have to buy it in another town, but we were able to make some wonderful memories in this quiet hot spring town.thank you very much.

Every dish for breakfast and dinner was delicious and I was very satisfied with the variety! It was nice to be able to relax in the private bath.DigressionI left something here, but they delivered it to a nearby location by car. I don't think there is any other inn that would do this for you. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you m(_ _)m
