Book Yunokoya Onsen hotels

it's so convenient and the staffs were great...

Extremely remote (nearly a 3 hour bus ride from Kinegawa Onsen Train station into the winding mountains) which was both an adventure and unnerving. Made to feel like a foreigner with little help in understanding the cultural norms as a newcomer to the onsen experience. The in-suite onsen option was incredible, providing both privacy and ability to enjoy the experience as a newcomer free of the "ritual" imposed but not well explained for use of the public hot pools. Hatcho No Yu was ultimately a memory for a lifetime but came with a less than supportive interface with staff who treated us like we didnt belong.

We went to the hotel without much expectation. There were three hot spring which you can use privately for an hour, but it was off season so we were very lucky. It was old and cozy we loved staying there.

The guy that looked after us, Satoshi, was really nice and very accommodating- he didn't speak english and we didnt speak Japanese but we got by. It was end of season and very quiet feeling like we had the place to ourselves. It was clean and immaculate. The breakfast was beautifully presented and ample. He met uas at the station and dropped us off as well as taking us elsewhere as and when needed. A really good experience and we would return.

We enjoyed our stay here. The room was very clean and comfortable. However, do note that the bath tax is not included in the booking fee and it's a compulsory payment at the property.

Pretty good
