Shirahone Onsen Yumoto Saito Ryokan

It was my first time visiting Shirahone Onsen, and I’m glad I chose Yumoto Saito Ryokan. Everything was excellent. The service was attentive, the meals were carefully prepared and delicious, and the baths were clean and relaxing. The Room was a spacious Japanese-Western style room. It made me want to come back again!

First of all, the staff were exceptionally kind and helpful. As this is a historic Accommodation, there are some areas that show their age, but everything was thoroughly cleaned. For dinner we chose the simple Plan, but it was more than enough in volume, and the flavors made the most of the ingredients—it was truly delicious. The Onsen is a hydrogen sulfide spring, I believe, and we were able to fully enjoy free-flowing natural hot spring water; it was wonderfully relaxing. In every respect, my spouse and I were very satisfied and deeply grateful. There are several buildings on the property, each with its own unique features depending on where your Room is located. We stayed in a building called Bokusuiso; there was a waterfall right next to our Room, and we could enjoy its refreshing atmosphere from inside. The large public bath is a bit of a walk away, but for us it was part of the fun—we enjoyed exploring the buildings along the way to the bath. If we have another opportunity, we would definitely like to stay again.
