Experience 100% natural Onsen with no added water or heating at a kaiseki-style Ryokan.

Kappo Ryokan Yunohanaso, nestled in the nature of Shiobara, offers 11 guest rooms and a staff of 30. Guided by the theme of “creating memorable moments for our guests,” we welcome each visitor with the spirit of ichigo ichie—treasuring every once-in-a-lifetime encounter. Please enjoy our pride and joy: 100% free-flowing Onsen water from the source to your heart’s content.

  • The meals were luxurious and delicious, the Room was spotless, and the bath was wonderfully relaxing—there was nothing to complain about. The staff member in charge was very friendly and kind, so we felt completely at ease throughout our two-day stay. The massage was excellent as well; even though the weather wasn’t great, it didn’t bother us at all, and it turned into a truly satisfying trip. Thank you very much. We would love to visit again.

  • I visited Shiobara Onsen with my 84-year-old mother from Taiwan on a trip to show my appreciation. The inn is quiet and cozy, with only 11 rooms. Thanks to the staff’s warm hospitality, my mother felt at ease throughout our stay. Dinner was a kaiseki meal made with seasonal ingredients; this time we chose the rare soft-shelled turtle course. I was surprised when soft-shelled turtle blood was served as well, but it became a memorable food experience unique to traveling.The hot spring is 100% free-flowing from the source. We stayed in the “Izumo” room, a spacious guest room overlooking the Hoki River, with both an open-air bath and an indoor bath. The two private reservable baths were also large and beautiful, and what stood out most was that my mother could enjoy the hot spring without worrying about others.The scenery, cuisine, hot springs, and hospitality were all wonderful, and it became a precious memory with my mother.

  • Complete Non-Smoking Policy for 5 Rooms on the 1st Floor (Rooms with Open-Air Baths)

    Thank you very much for your continued patronage of Yunohana-so.

    Until now, smoking has been permitted on the terraces of five open-air bath Rooms on the 1st floor.
