9,0/10 Exceptional - Based on 39 reviews
Perched in the heart of the peaceful Yamanouchi region, the ryokan in Yamanouchi, Yudanaka Yumoto, embodies traditional Japanese hospitality. Nestled in a vibrant natural setting, it offers an ideal sanctuary where visitors can reconnect with themselves through the seasons. The outdoor hot springs invite total relaxation, while the quiet garden extends this serenity. With an atmosphere combining intimacy and authenticity, the ryokan also offers free Wi-Fi and private parking, perfect for a comfortable stay.
The rooms, decorated in a typically Japanese style, feature straw tatamis where cozy futons rest. Each air-conditioned space is designed to prioritize comfort and harmony with modern amenities, including a flat-screen TV and a safe. The spacious family accommodations allow for precious moments to be shared in complete privacy. The large windows offer a soothing view of the surrounding landscape, further enriching the visitors’ sensory experience.
Between two walks to discover nearby famous sites, such as the Jigokudani Monkey Park, you can savor authentic local cuisine. While the ryokan offers varied menus internally, nearby dining options, such as the Sobaroku restaurant, also provide opportunities to discover the region’s flavors. This perfect balance between relaxation and discovery gives Yudanaka Yumoto its cyclical appeal through the seasons.
Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
8/10 Boasting traditional architecture subtly married with modern touches, this ryokan offers an elegant immersion. The tatamis and shōji enhance the rooms with a peaceful view. Delicate kaiseki and bathing in a pleasant onsen enrich the experience, despite some more contemporary elements. The overall authenticity remains remarkable.
