“One Night, Five Hot Springs”—Which Bath Will You Choose Next? A Hidden Hot Spring Accommodation with Reservation-Free Private Open-Air Baths

Deep in Oku-Nikko, Yunishigawa Onsen is a tranquil retreat embraced by lush nature. Step inside and you’ll find a soothing escape that feels far removed from everyday life. Our greatest appeal is 100% natural, free-flowing Onsen water drawn directly from our own source on the property. “Which bath next?” Choose from five bathing areas to suit your mood, including an open-air bath with a barrel sauna—private baths available without Reservation, as many times as you like. After gently warming up in the Onsen, savor seasonal cuisine featuring local flavors. Feel the night breeze in our quiet post-bath lounge and breathe in the crisp air deeply—you’ll sense the day’s tension slowly melt away. We offer a relaxing holiday that refreshes both body and mind.

  • Since the full renovation, every facility has been spotless. I was satisfied with everything, but I was especially surprised at how spacious all four private baths were—and they were impeccably clean. The water was excellent, with no unpleasant chlorine smell overpowering the sulfur scent. The Nordic-style sauna was also very relaxing. The meals were delicious and just the right amount. This is a Ryokan I would definitely like to visit again.

Introduction of the Accommodation

Open-air bath

~100% Natural Onsen, Free-Flowing from the Source~

Our natural Onsen, sourced from three springs, is 100% free-flowing. The water is smooth and gentle, making it suitable for therapeutic stays. Enjoy this traditional bath with a proud 400-year history.

Private Bath (Reservable for Exclusive Use)

~A Private Bath with an Open, Airy Feel~

We also offer private baths where families, couples, and groups can enjoy the Onsen in complete privacy. You can adjust the temperature freely, so please relax and unwind at your leisure.

Local cuisine

~Local Cuisine Unique to Yunishikawa~

It is said that the Heike refugees who lived in hiding in Yunishigawa enjoyed seasonal ingredients—wild mountain vegetables and mushrooms, river fish, and venison and bear meat—prepared with great ingenuity. This culinary tradition has been passed down to the present day as “Heike Cuisine.” We also offer a variety of à la carte specialties unique to Yunotoki, including Tochigi’s famous yuba (tofu skin), venison sashimi, deep-fried Japanese giant salamander, and our signature Issho-bela fish.

[Lounge] Enjoy even greater comfort in our newly renovated lounge.

Guest-only lounge with complimentary drinks available

The lounge offers self-service coffee, tea, and Japanese tea, as well as magazines, paperback books, and manga. In addition, from 20:00 to 22:00 we serve Yunotoki’s special “Dashi Chazuke” (rice with broth). Available to all staying guests—please enjoy it as a late-night snack. (Ends when sold out)
