Hot Spring Town | Hotels and Ryokan (Japanese inn) that are popular based on customer reviews!

I recommend "Asanoya." With an impressive exterior that resembles a Japanese castle, Ryokan (Japanese inn) bases its hospitality on the three arts of flower arrangement, tea ceremony, and incense-smelling. There are a variety of guest rooms, including Japanese-style rooms with over 10 tatami mats, Japanese-style rooms with open-air cypress baths, Japanese-style rooms with open-air ceramic baths, and the highest-ranking VIP room. For meals, you can enjoy kaiseki（a traditional Japanese multiple course meal ）made with seasonal ingredients such as Tajima beef, Matsuba crab, firefly squid, rock oysters, and local vegetables. For hot springs, you can enjoy bathing in the atmospheric garden open-air bath, the 1200-year-old cypress bath, and the private open-air bath where you can relax.

There is also a plan that includes two meals and a room with a spacious open-air bath. The price is reasonable. You can also use the forest open-air bath, the observation open-air bath, and the large public bath, so you can fully enjoy Yumura Onsen.

"Izutsuya" is a long-established inn founded in 1702. It has rooms with outdoor baths with natural 100% natural hot spring a great view, and you can relax in a spacious Japanese-style room. Reservations are required and only once a day, but there is a free shuttle from Ebara Station, so it is easy to access. There is also free parking for 80 cars. The inn has a large public bath, an outdoor bath in the garden, a herbal bath, a bedrock bath, a cypress bath with a view, and a private outdoor bath. After the bath, you can enjoy beauty treatments and massages. In the summer, the inn has a garden pool, karaoke booths, a souvenir corner, a lounge, and many other things to enjoy.

This inn has a homey atmosphere, so even if you have small children, you can relax. A shuttle is required to go from the inn to soto-yu (public bathhouses), but you can get there with just a phone call and not have to wait long. The dinner is especially luxurious. The specialty crab, of course, as well as Tajima beef and sashimi, are so filling that even a big eater like me would be very satisfied.

Nishimuraya Hotel Shogetsutei is a beautiful hotel that offers a relaxing time in a vast forest park. It has many types of hot springs and a spa, so it is the best hotel for families to stay and have fun. The hospitality is excellent, and the food is carefully prepared, delicious, and there are many plans with plenty of volume.
