A long-established historic Ryokan in Yuda Onsen, Yamaguchi Prefecture, once frequented by leaders of the Meiji Restoration.
The timeless beauty of pine and cypress trees: A Property rich in history and renowned gardens. Matsudaya Hotel, boasting over 300 years of history, once served as a gathering place for the passionate discussions of Meiji Restoration leaders envisioning a new era.
The Room, meals, and baths were all excellent. Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. Both the Room and the large public bath were kept very clean, which was wonderful. Due to our schedule, we checked in after 6:00 PM, so we could only enjoy the Onsen twice—at night and in the morning—which was a bit disappointing. If we have the chance to visit again, we would like to take our time and relax.
平岡たかし 7/7/2026I had always felt that the meals were exceptionally delicious, but this time several dishes that conveyed a refreshing coolness were served, allowing me to enjoy Japanese cuisine with my eyes and savor it with my palate.I was disappointed that there was no Japanese omelet at breakfast.Also, there was no chair at the Room washbasin area, which was a little inconvenient.Other than that, I was very satisfied.
