Kyubei Ryokan

Every dish was delicious. I was especially captivated by the flavor and presentation of the Japanese-style mousse. With each course that followed, I could feel the care put into every detail, and even the dessert was outstanding. If it were closer, I would want to stay every time the menu changes.In the past, I loved the cuisine at a nearby Ryokan and stayed there every month. However, when the head chef changed, I was surprised at how much the taste could change even though the menu remained the same. I truly hope your cuisine will continue to be preserved.Each staff member welcomed us with a warm, natural smile and kind service, and it made me feel this is a wonderful Ryokan. Thank you very much.

Although we visited in the rain, we came for the Onsen and the food, so it didn’t bother us. Soon after arrival, we were shown to the private baths, and we enjoyed both this property’s private baths and those at the sister property. It was convenient that they could be used freely when available; however, many were marked “in use,” so timing is important. Including the sister property, there seem to be 8 or 9 baths in total, and it’s difficult to visit them all in one night. The main public bath at this property was also spacious enough, including an open-air bath. The meal featured an all–rock oyster menu and was very delicious. The quiet Yutagawa Onsen area also had its own charm and atmosphere. Unfortunately, amenities were limited to a toothbrush only, so I deducted one point.
