Surrounded by tranquility, sleep deeply, and restore your mind.

With only 15 rooms, "Accommodation Kotobuki" is a hidden retreat for adults, designed with a focus on restful sleep based on the expertise of sleep specialists. Each room features unique decor with meticulous attention to lighting and ambiance, allowing guests to unwind and gradually release mental tension as they enjoy their stay. The natural Onsen in this historic hot spring area offers a tranquil experience—immerse yourself in the gently flowing waters, take a deep breath, warm your body from within, and prepare for restful sleep. Additionally, we offer our original head massage therapy called "Sleep Therapy," which gently guides you into deep relaxation. Meals feature seasonal local ingredients crafted into exquisite kaiseki cuisine—a refined yet unpretentious dining experience that enhances the lingering flavors of each dish. Accommodation Kotobuki is a place to clear your mind and reset amidst deep rest and serene moments.

  • I had been struggling with light sleep and not feeling well-rested for quite some time, when I happened to see the words “sleep therapy” on IKYU and decided to book immediately. Services like this are often available for only one guest, so it was wonderful that both of us could receive the treatment at the same time. My husband was also very pleased. The Room lighting, Onsen temperature, and bedding were all thoughtfully arranged as well, and thanks to that, we both slept soundly through the night.From the welcome sweets onward, both dinner and breakfast were delicious. However, it was a little disappointing that the Tajima beef was served on a hot plate rather than charcoal-grilled. With a hot plate, you don’t really get the benefits of charcoal grilling, so it felt like some of the flavor was lost.The staff were full of hospitality and absolutely wonderful. It was our first visit to Yumura Onsen, but we loved its charming atmosphere and sense of tradition, so we definitely want to return. When we do, we would of course like to book a Plan that includes the sleep therapy again.Thank you very much for taking such great care of us.

  • I visited with my mother. The massage was amazingly effective—we slept deeply, and for the first time in a while we were able to wake up naturally in the morning. (My mother was especially surprised.)The food was delicious as well, and we would love to visit again when we really want a good night’s sleep.The bed and bedding were so comfortable I wished I could take them home.It felt like an adult-oriented Accommodation, far removed from inbound tourism.Also, I caused you a great deal of trouble during the meal. I’d like to take this as an opportunity to reassess my health going forward.Thank you very much.
