Around Yutoku Inari Shrine × Highly rated facilities at Hotel·Ryokan

I stayed here with my parents and my 7-month-old daughter. It was even more baby-friendly than I expected! They provided a diaper disposal bin, baby bath, baby soap, bed guard, Bumbo seat, and even bath toys. In addition, the dining area for both breakfast and dinner was a private room. With tatami flooring, we could relax and enjoy our meals without worrying too much even if our baby crawled around or made a bit of noise. They also helped warm up baby food and provided tableware and a high-low chair, which was incredibly helpful. The food was delicious—we were truly satisfied! The staff also spoke to our daughter often, which made us feel very welcome. I especially recommend this place for families with children.

We chose this property because we wanted a room with a private bath and were also attracted by the lounge, and it exceeded our expectations. The entire property and our room were spotless and beautiful, and we were especially impressed by the wonderful service from all of the staff. Thank you very much. We would love to visit again.

The meals are very healthy, using locally sourced ingredients. However, many dishes require guests to cook for themselves, such as shabu-shabu and kushikatsu, and they also feel like dishes that even we homemakers could make. In other words, it seemed there were few dishes with a creative twist. Using freshly harvested vegetables and eggs, I would like the head chef to offer more elaborate dishes. The Room and bath were wonderful, and we were able to relax while fully enjoying nature. This time, when we asked, additional towels were brought free of charge; however, since we bathe in the Onsen multiple times, we would be happy if two towels per person could be provided from the start. Thank you very much.

This was my first stay. The Hotel lobby is small, but it features Takeo pottery and Arita ware created in collaboration with overseas designers. It’s a stylish, relaxing space, and we were welcomed with chilled Ureshino tea and a small sweet. The Room felt natural and calming. This Hotel is known for its sauna, and even though I’m not great with saunas, I was able to relax fully and felt completely refreshed (laughs). We stayed as a couple this time, but it’s also a soothing Accommodation where solo female travelers can feel safe staying alone. It has become one of the Hotels I’d love to stay at again.

I stayed here with a friend. The building is old and compact, but it was clean and well maintained, and we were very satisfied with the delicious meals and silky hot spring baths. The porcini ravioli served at dinner was so good we wished we could have had seconds. I think this is a highly satisfying place for adults to relax and unwind. It’s a bit of a walk for sightseeing, but it was nice to take a leisurely stroll before dinner.

Three of us—women around our 60s—booked this inn, which does not allow guests aged 13 or under. We were able to relax and enjoy a calm, elegant stay. The hot spring water was the silky, skin-softening Ureshino Onsen we had hoped for. Our room had a bath, but we also used the large public bath and were able to enjoy it privately without encountering other guests. All staff members greeted us with smiles and treated us with great care, which was wonderful. The interior is chic, and we also appreciated the well-stocked complimentary drinks service in the lobby. Next time, we’d like to visit with our family.

I finally got to visit Ureshino Onsen, which I’d been wanting to go to for a long time! I stayed with two female friends, making three of us. It rained that day, and we got a bit lost on the mountain roads before arriving—I was glad we didn’t get there too late at night. The Room was spacious enough even for three people. The cypress bath in the Room was wonderful—I lost count of how many times I used it. We also really enjoyed the large public bath! We couldn’t use the facilities over at Taishoya this time, so I definitely want to come back! The spring water quality was truly silky and lotion-like—an Onsen I absolutely loved. For meals, the tofu at breakfast was delicious, and the sesame soy sauce topping was amazing too! It had just the right amount of privacy, and all the staff were so kind—thank you very much.

It’s rare to enjoy this level of cuisine, hot springs, and service at this price, and the garden is also wonderful. The facilities are impeccably clean. It stands out even among Japan’s luxury ryokan.

Just before the September three-day weekend, I suddenly decided to take a trip with a friend and hurriedly found this ryokan. Since it had availability, I wondered if I shouldn’t expect too much (sorry!). But I quickly realized I was wrong. The hot springs were great, the food was excellent, and the hospitality was wonderful. On top of that, the bar on the first floor was fantastic. They played my favorite records for me, and I was able to relax and enjoy a peaceful time. My friend—traveling for the first time in over 20 years—was thrilled, saying they never imagined spending such a lovely time like this! The footbath we went to at night also felt amazing!! We’ll be back!

Thank you for taking care of our family for two nights! First of all, we truly appreciate the staff’s thoughtful hospitality. They responded flexibly to our special requests and even accommodated menu-related changes. The building has a charming atmosphere, and the Room was neat and very clean. We were soothed by having meals served in the Room and by the wonderfully silky bath that we could enjoy anytime. We’d love to visit again! Thank you very much!

Considering the price range, I was very satisfied. The butler’s thoughtful, casual check-ins were wonderful. If there is one area for improvement, it would be the restroom—it really should be a private room. I will visit again.

They kindly accommodated our last-minute changes to the Accommodation booking and provided attentive support, including the Shuttle Service, which made us feel truly cared for. My mother, who has stayed at many Hotels, was especially pleased—she said the Room was spotless, bright, spacious, and very comfortable, and that she would like to stay again. We also felt the hot spring water quality was better than at other Accommodations. Since it was available from early morning until late at night, we were able to bathe four times. We were also very happy that plenty of towels were provided. Due to our misunderstanding, we asked to confirm the charges, but everything was explained clearly and politely, which reassured us—thank you very much. One small request: when staying with multiple people, having only one Room key was a bit inconvenient. Next time, we would like to book a Plan that includes meals.

We stayed as a family. We were very satisfied with the Accommodation, the Onsen, and the meals. The building had a charming atmosphere (the stairs were a bit challenging), and we enjoyed a clean Onsen of excellent quality and delicious, high-quality cuisine. We were especially surprised by how good the meat, tofu, and rice were. Above all, we truly appreciated the heartfelt hospitality from all the staff. We were happy to receive so much helpful advice about getting around inside the property. We are also very grateful for your thoughtful consideration in providing an irregular Shuttle Service to the station. Although it is far away, this is a wonderful Accommodation we would love to visit again. Thank you for such a lovely time!

The hot spring water quality was excellent, and I came to love Ureshino Onsen. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and I had a very comfortable stay. I stayed in a detached guest room, which was wonderful. The kaiseki cuisine was delicious, and each course was served at just the right time—I was very satisfied. This is an inn I would love to visit again.

We were so satisfied the first time we stayed at Hatsune-so that our family kept saying, “Let’s go again,” and we finally made it back! Because it’s designed especially for families with children, there are lots of activities—little kids can enjoy themselves, and adults have fun too. You can borrow children’s sandals, and they provide diapers and baby food as well—there are thoughtful touches throughout the Ryokan that really make a difference. The warmth of the staff also adds to how comfortable it feels. The storytime at “Ehon no Mori” was wonderful. As soon as we got home, we were already talking about when we should go next. Haha

We visited on a three-generation girls’ trip. The Room had been renovated and was very clean. The meals were excellent, both in presentation and in quality. The meal for our 3-year-old child was also of a very high standard. Above all, the hot spring water left our skin feeling wonderfully smooth. This is an Accommodation we would love to visit again in a different season.

We stayed on a plan with meals included. Both breakfast and dinner were very delicious. The free drinks and complimentary breakfast items were also available, making the offerings very satisfying. The in-room bath was a hot spring, so we were able to relax in it many times. We were also comforted by the staff’s thoughtful, unobtrusive service.

I stayed during Golden Week and thought it was a bit pricey even though the Room didn’t have an Onsen, but it exceeded my expectations in a great way! The rooftop Onsen had a wonderful view and was excellent. I usually don’t like buffet meals because the food can be mediocre and the atmosphere often feels unsettled, but this Hotel had a wide variety of options and everything was delicious, so I was very satisfied. I’d love to stay here again.

It was rainy on the day we arrived, so we couldn’t use the open-air bath we had been looking forward to, which was a bit disappointing. The next morning, I went to the open-air bath first thing at 6:00 and enjoyed it. With the indoor bath on B1 and the open-air bath on the 9th floor, it felt a little inconvenient to use.

The Onsen water quality was excellent in both the large public bath and the private reservable bath. I wished the bathing hours were extended until around 2:00 a.m., as I would have loved to soak one more time. The complimentary fondant chocolate and cold tea in the post-bath lounge were delicious. The brunch curry topped with roast beef was luxurious, beautifully presented, and very tasty. Being able to enjoy the perfect combination of Ureshino Onsen and Ureshino tea truly helped me recharge with nature’s energy. Thank you very much—I would love to stay again.
