ยูงาวาระ ออนเซ็น × ที่พักบรรยากาศเซนโรงแรม·เรียวกังที่มีคะแนนความพึงพอใจสูง

Surrender to a serene space and listen to the sounds of the gorge as time passes quietly. The in-room Onsen, kept at a gentle temperature, invites you to soak slowly as body and mind unwind. This timeworn wooden building lives on, its age transformed into beauty. Every corner of the Accommodation is carefully maintained, and its presence carries unmistakable elegance. And then—clear dashi broth, the richness of local fish, and the fragrance of matsutake mushrooms. Each ingredient’s character is brought out with care, with thoughtful attention to layered flavors, lingering finishes, and the flow of each kaiseki course. An Accommodation where you can come close to the essence of beauty.

The Hotel staff were wonderful, and the food and baths were excellent!

This was our second stay at Sekiyo. We were upgraded from Taikan and were able to stay in Kangetsuan. It was our first time in a detached guest room, and it was very quiet. From time to time, small birds came to the tree by the window, and my spouse and I were able to relax at a leisurely pace. We also fully enjoyed both the indoor bath and the open-air bath. The meals were wonderful—there were so many dishes that we couldn’t finish them all, and everything was delicious. The attentive service from the room attendant was excellent as well, and we would love to visit Sekiyo again.

This was a high-quality Accommodation where you could truly appreciate the chef’s excellent sense of taste in both the quality and quantity of the food. The bath was also wonderful and left a strong impression on me. I was particularly struck by a Nepalese female staff member who spoke Japanese well; she looked worried because a local bridge in her hometown had been washed away in a landslide disaster in Nepal.

We traveled with our 8-month-old baby, and it was very reassuring to find everything we needed, including a formula kettle, water for preparing formula, and baby wipes. They also washed our bottles and spoons, adjusted mealtime for baby food, warmed it up for us, and were considerate in so many ways—it was a huge help. The room was spacious and spotless, and we really enjoyed the delicious baby meals as well as the in-room dining. Our assigned staff member was especially thoughtful; our baby got fussy during meals so dinner took longer than usual, but they adjusted their voice volume and the timing of serving dishes to accommodate us. Every staff member spoke kindly to our baby and frequently checked if we needed anything, which we truly appreciated. We were able to relax in the hot springs as a family and enjoy wonderful food—overall it was a fantastic trip. Thank you very much.

This Accommodation made me wish I could have extended my stay if I hadn’t had work the next day. From the parking guidance on arrival through to check-out, we received warm and pleasant hospitality. As it is a Ryokan with only a few Rooms, it felt very private, and we hardly ever shared the Onsen with other guests. It was a wonderful escape from everyday life and left us feeling refreshed. We would love to visit again.

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.

I had an exceptionally comfortable and luxurious stay. What impressed me most was the attentive, high-quality service from the staff. The sense of distance was just right, and every interaction reflected genuine hospitality, making my stay pleasant from start to finish. The Hotel has a calm, sophisticated atmosphere for adults—elegant yet never overly flashy—and feels like a wonderful space where time flows gently. The meals were also excellent, especially the vegetables. You could really taste the quality of the ingredients and how carefully their flavors were brought out, making even dining feel like a special experience. It was a memorable stay in every way—service, ambiance, and cuisine. This is a Hotel I would highly recommend for spending time with someone special or for taking a break from everyday life and relaxing at your own pace.

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!

Located on a steep hill, access by foot can be challenging. The room provided a calm and private space, allowing for a stay without encountering anyone from check-in to check-out. Although not an Onsen, the water quality was excellent. No insects were seen during the stay, but insect prevention items might create unnecessary concern for some guests. On the other hand, waking up to the sound of birds made for a delightful experience in this beautiful location.
