ยุโกวาระ × โรงแรม·เรียวกังที่มีคะแนนความพึงพอใจสูง - 2หน้า

Thank you as always for your hospitality. The meals are delicious, and the staff are very friendly. I like it so much that I stay here several times a year. As a smoker, I truly appreciate this hotel at a time when more and more hotels are becoming non-smoking. I look forward to staying with you again.

We stayed for one night on July 4–5. This time, six of us (three couples in our 70s) stayed in three Rooms, each with a private open-air bath. To be honest, two of my friends’ husbands have never wanted to use large public baths on our past trips. So this time we splurged on Rooms with open-air baths—and those husbands were thrilled and apparently bathed many times. Everyone agreed it was excellent. The front desk staff were polite and clear, and the foreign staff member who assisted with meals spoke Japanese very well. We even had a bit of personal conversation, and they answered earnestly, making mealtime very enjoyable. Of course, the food itself was also outstanding: many small dishes and a wide variety of carefully prepared items—again, everyone was completely satisfied. At checkout we passed several housekeeping staff members, and every one of them greeted us properly, so we left feeling great. It was quiet, with only the sound of the nearby river; I almost fell asleep in the open-air bath. The price didn’t feel expensive at all. This turned into a long Review, but there’s no doubt we’ll want to come again.

Service, hot springs, meals, room, and tranquility—everything was excellent. I would definitely like to visit again. However, perhaps because of the season, we were heavily bothered by mosquitoes at the large public open-air bath and on the terrace of our room. There was mosquito coil incense in the private bath, but it would be appreciated if it were also available in the room and in the private bath. We borrowed an anti-itch ointment from the front desk. It was a lifesaver—thank you very much.

It was a truly wonderful Accommodation! It’s a private, whole-house traditional home, and I arrived wondering what it would be like to have a foot bath and karaoke in the living room. It was exactly as imagined—both were boldly set up, and both adults and children enjoyed them. In particular, the donut-shaped foot bath (Onsen) was fantastic; as soon as we arrived, we all gathered around it and had a great time. With a table in the center, it was convenient for placing drinks and more. There is no front desk, so communication with the Accommodation is only by email or phone. Even so, we really felt their hospitality: before check-in on the day of arrival, the manager had already started running the Room air conditioning and preparing the Onsen in the bathroom. They also provided Nespresso and bottled water. There were also handy extras like a Bluetooth speaker, some magazines, puzzles, and other small items—there was never a dull moment. Fun for both adults and kids all day long! The only thing that concerned me was the river. Perhaps due to several days of heavy rain, at bedtime we could hear the roaring sound of the river right next to us, which made us feel slightly uneasy. However, by checking river information and making sure our child didn’t open any windows, we were able to stay without any issues. It was such a unique Room experience that we had an amazing time—we’d definitely love to stay again!

15 minutes from Yugawara Station by local bus. Get off at the Onsenkyo bus stop and walk 1 minute. There is no Shuttle Service, but buses run frequently, so it was convenient. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM, but we arrived around 2:00 PM and waited in the lounge. Coffee and other drinks (available 24 hours) are free refills, so we could relax while waiting. After a short break, we left our luggage and went sightseeing at Fudo Falls, about a 6-minute walk away. After check-in, we could immediately enjoy the free-flowing Onsen. We relaxed in our Room until dinner time. The baths rotate by time between men and women. For the women’s bath, until 6:00 PM and from 6:30 AM to 10:00 AM, it is an indoor Onsen without an open-air bath on the first floor with a sauna (no windows). From 6:30 PM to 6:00 AM the next day, it becomes an Onsen with an open-air bath—this one was excellent. It’s a Japanese-style room, and you lay out your own futon. Dinner was vegetable-focused. The bean rice is cooked at the table. There is also a mini buffet where you can have as much as you like—drinks, desserts, soft-serve ice cream, and fruit. I was completely full and very satisfied. Maybe it’s part of Noguchi Kanko? It felt slightly upscale and was very nice. We were also able to use a coupon discount and stay at a great price.

Wanting a break from work and everyday chores, I searched for an Onsen Accommodation where I could truly relax even on my own, and that’s how I found Yugawara Fuga. I made a Reservation for the Shuttle Service from the station. The driver was very kind, and we chatted a little—it was really enjoyable. After arriving, check-in was smooth because I had completed smart check-in in advance. You can choose your favorite yukata, then enjoy tea in the café lounge with cake and sweets served in a mug you like. There were plenty of books as well, and being able to relax while looking out at the garden felt wonderfully luxurious. The Room was more than spacious enough for one person—a Japanese-style room with a nostalgic feel. There were no small children among the guests, and since there is no TV in the Room, it was quiet and easy to simply unwind. Everything was very clean; the sink area was spacious, and the lighted mirror made it convenient to use. The futon is self-service—I prefer laying it out when I want, so it didn’t bother me at all. If you’d rather not set up your own bedding, I recommend choosing a room with beds. There is a cypress bath in the Room, but I liked the open-air bath and large public bath so much that I ended up using those several times—and never used the in-room bath after all. For dinner I chose the light course; it was still plenty of food and left me full. It was also nice that dessert and tea were included. Since it was during peak busy hours, there were moments when we waited a bit between dishes, but it didn’t bother me. The dining staff stayed efficient while still taking care to explain each dish and serve attentively—their dedication came through, which made waiting easy. I also felt their teamwork was excellent. As a solo traveler, they thoughtfully considered my table placement in the restaurant as well. The appetizers were things I don’t usually get to try, and dishes like ochazuke made with mussel broth were unique and delicious. Breakfast was Japanese-style breakfast. The soy sauce I made myself at the café lounge the day before tasted great over an Onsen egg (soft-boiled egg), and it went perfectly with fifteen-grain rice—I couldn’t stop eating. The pork miso soup made with Izu miso paste plus pickled plum (umeboshi) was unusual in a good way. There was also plenty of rice served in an ohitsu pot—more than enough—so even those with bigger appetites would be satisfied. I did nothing but soak slowly in the Onsen baths, enjoy delicious meals, and spend quiet time—overall extremely satisfying. Everyone at Hotel/Accommodation (staff) was kind and courteous. If I had to mention one drawback: there are quite a lot of steps/stairs throughout the building, and despite checking maps/signage first time around felt like navigating something of a maze on my way to large public bath area (I got lost initially). Still: I'd love return again treat myself once more!

We chose this place because it was all-inclusive, and both the baths and the service were excellent. In particular, as someone in the same industry, I was truly impressed by the attentiveness and consideration shown by the Nepalese staff in the dining area. Thanks to them, we had a wonderful time. Unlimited drinks from check-in to check-out was more than I could ask for as a beer lover—I enjoyed plenty. The open-air bath wasn’t too hot and felt great! We’d love to come back again! Thank you very much!

To celebrate my parents’ wedding anniversary, I booked this place to give them their first trip as a gift. It was our first family trip in a while, and everything—from the room to the rooftop open-air bath—was wonderful, allowing us to relax and take our time. The meals were also delicious. As an anniversary surprise, they even served bite-sized sekihan (red bean rice) as part of the menu. My parents were truly delighted. Thanks to this ryokan, I feel I was able to do something meaningful for them. Thank you for such a wonderful time.

Before I knew it, I’ve stayed here for a Multiple Night Stay in December, June, and September (lol). Within walking distance from Yugawara Station (Shuttle Service also available). There are also Rooms where smoking is allowed. I use this place casually when I just want to relax and refresh in the Onsen. About the 4-star rating: Regarding the amenity tabi socks, even on a Multiple Night Stay, receiving only one pair per person makes me think, “Huh?” the next day. It might be worth considering providing them for each night of a Multiple Night Stay, or clearly stating that it’s one pair per person. As for meals and the rice tubs (ohitsu), isn’t there food waste? Staff do serve the meals, but I think rice could be handled like tea—self-serve would be fine. This could likely be solved by investing in one or two rice cookers (10-cup capacity): cook with a gas cooker, transfer to warmers, and set them out. Then you could serve an ohitsu only to guests who request it.

Thank you for the delicious meal. It was clear that a lot of thought had gone into it, and the paired drinks were excellent as well. The large public bath was on the smaller side, but the private open-air bath was too good to enjoy just once—I wanted to use it again and again. Next time, I’d like to book early from the start.

I stayed here three months ago and had such a great experience that I came back again. This time, I was lucky enough to catch the seafood fair, with all-you-can-eat bonito sashimi and salmon. Everything was delicious. The large public bath was spacious, and I was able to relax both body and mind. Thank you for the outstanding value at Shikisai—I’ll definitely stay again.

Located near Yugawara’s Manyo Park, the Hotel is a comfortable size and it was enjoyable to walk around inside. Dinner was a course meal served at the table, and the staff were efficient, allowing us to relax. It was great to enjoy both the open-air bath for Hotel guests and the one for general visitors. The front desk staff were also very courteous.

When I stay overnight, I’m usually at my most exhausted. The body-friendly meals and the Onsen help me Clear and feel renewed. It’s always the perfect retreat at a comfortable distance from central Tokyo. I’ll be back again when I’m completely worn out.

This was my repeat stay. This time I stayed in the “Tasogare” Room, and its calm atmosphere allowed me to truly relax. As someone who enjoys alcohol, the all-inclusive plan—where I can enjoy my favorite drinks without worrying about extra charges—is a major highlight unique to this Accommodation. Because you can take your time without watching the clock, it’s easy to end up staying longer than planned. Also, compared with my previous visit, there were more types of games available to bring into the Room, which could be great when staying with two or more people. The private sauna I look forward to every time also came with a full 90 minutes—plenty of time—and I really appreciated being able to use it at my own pace without worrying about others. After the sauna, I could unwind in the lobby, my Room, or the lounge, making for a truly luxurious experience. All of the staff were courteous and warm, and I felt comfortable throughout my stay. Even as a returning guest, it was nice to be treated with consistent kindness. If I had one small note: the slope leading down to the parking area is a bit steep, so drivers of low-clearance cars or those not confident behind the wheel may need to be cautious. That said, it seems unavoidable given the location. Overall, I was very satisfied again this time. I’d love to return in another season. Thank you very much.

First of all, the staff were wonderful. Many international team members were working there, and they were well trained and welcomed us with warm smiles. I misunderstood the breakfast time and arrived late to my set meal seat, but I was not rushed at all and was able to enjoy a delicious meal. Everything was very clean, including the bedding sheets. This time I used the Yugawara Smile Coupon and got a great deal on my stay, but even without the coupon I felt it offers excellent value for money. It was only one night, but I was able to relax. Thank you!

My stay was very comfortable and relaxing. The meals were excellent—hot dishes were served hot, and the tempura in particular was crispy and delicious. At breakfast, I was surprised by how large the clams were. I also enjoyed the hot spring even late at night, and I would love to visit again.

Thank you for hosting us with the yakiniku set included. Although it rained and some of our plans changed, we had a very fulfilling day with the tent sauna, cold plunge bath, table tennis, and BBQ, and we were very satisfied. We would love to stay again.

This was actually our second stay. We loved it so much the first time—when six friends stayed together—that I wanted to show it off to my family, so we came back. This time, nine of us across three generations stayed here, including two 1-year-old grandchildren. The property is exceptionally clean, and you can really feel the attention to detail in everything—from the furniture and appliances to all the amenities. With small children, having such a spotless place gave us real peace of mind. The kids were beyond excited and happily ran around the spacious living room. There are bedrooms of various sizes, so everyone’s privacy was well protected and each person could relax in their own way. In the morning we cooked breakfast with bread, soup, salad, and more from a nearby supermarket, then spent a relaxing time playing at the tennis court before heading out at an unhurried pace. It was wonderful—privacy when needed, yet also a beautiful shared space where we could all be together. We had such a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We’d love to return again if we have the chance, and I would definitely recommend it to friends as well! Thank you very much for taking care of us!

Everything was very clean, and the futons were also spotless. The living room on the second floor was so comfortable that the kids didn’t want to leave. Adjusting the bath temperature is a bit tricky, but since it’s free-flowing Onsen water, that’s understandable. The bath was wonderful and very relaxing. One of our kids wasn’t interested in table tennis at first, but once they started playing, they couldn’t stop. Highly recommended for larger groups. Thank you very much for everything!

- Because the property is on a hill, having a car is essential. - The Hawaiian atmosphere and meals create a wonderful setting. - If the Onsen is available, you can bathe at any time, so you can fully unwind. - The property felt clean throughout, and the staff’s warm smiles helped me relax both physically and mentally. - I traveled solo this time, but next time I’d like to bring my wife and daughter.
