This inn is an absolute gateway to the best parts that Yudanaka has to offer!

The breakfast, the owner’s hospitality, the rustic vibes of the inn, and everything in between

An old, authentic place with charm and a hospitable owner.

8.0

This is a special place with a long history, which is evident right from the entrance hall. It turns out the house belonged to the grandfather of the current owner (who is also quite advanced in age). He received us very kindly and hospitably. What is really nice is that your name is written on the board outside as a welcome. We were very charmed by the room, in typical Japanese style (which was also the reason we booked) and the accompanying Japanese outfit. The room was neat and clean, though the futon (Japanese mattress) was very hard to sleep on (in our opinion). That is inherent to the type of mattress, and I knew that beforehand. Of course, it is part of the whole experience in a ryokan. Furthermore, the building is old and not very clean everywhere, which we certainly forgive the owner for. The hot onsen bath located inside the building (one in the men's area and one for the women) was very refreshing and provided the necessary relaxation after a day of a long drive from Nikko. The bath, in the women's area, is small, about 1 by 2 meters. It is perfectly sufficient for relaxing and warming up wonderfully in the naturally warm sulfur water. The owner gave us tips on where to eat, and we ended up within walking distance for a delicious dinner. The icing on the cake was breakfast at 8 am: a delicious, typical Japanese breakfast with miso soup, hot rice, pickled vegetables, smoked sardines, and more. This overnight stay and meeting was a very lovely moment in our tour of Japan. Since we don't speak Japanese, the owner was kind enough to call the campsite for us, where we were going the following night. That turned out to be well arranged, for which we are once again very grateful!

Look, the building is old, and so is the owner, so it is dusty and a bit hairy here and there. The rooms were clean, and so were the toilets. The sinks and the area around them were less clean. You have to see everything in context, and for us, this was okay.

Ryokan avec Onsen, qualité prix exceptionnel

9.0

Le gérant est très accueillant, il nous a même amené le lendemain en voiture vers un début de randonnée. Nous avions 2 chambres, de style japonaise, vraiment grande. On a accès à un Onsen privé très agréable. Nous aurions aimé rester plus longtemps
