Seaside Ryokan Ikkyu

The ocean view from the Room was beautiful. After doing the evening exercises, it no longer hurt to turn over in bed, so I’d like to keep doing them. The Onsen was also very relaxing, and I was able to unwind. I’d love to visit again. Please consider allowing guests to bring dogs as well!

I first stayed at this Accommodation about two years ago, and the meal while watching the sun set into the Sea of Japan left a lasting impression, so I visited again in early July. This time I stayed in a larger Room on the 4th floor; including the living area it was very spacious, with a separate bedroom and a great view from the window, making for a very comfortable stay. The interior is covered with tatami mats or carpet, so you can spend your time barefoot or in spa socks and truly relax. The dining area is located at the back of the lounge on the 1st floor, and both breakfast and dinner are enjoyed while looking out over the Sea of Japan. The meals were Japanese cuisine with a creative touch, and I felt that everything—from seasoning to variety, presentation, and tableware—was of a high standard. There are two large public baths that alternate between men and women depending on the time of day; including an open-air style bath they were kept very clean, and the water was gentle on the skin. Depending on the season, Yunohama Onsen may not be an Onsen town that draws huge crowds; instead it is quiet and calm—an Accommodation I recommend for anyone who wants to unwind while enjoying delicious food and Onsen at a relaxed pace.
