Located in Kumano Kodo, one of many ancient pilgrimage routes registered in UNESCO World Heritage, the ryokan is a couple minutes’ walk from Kawayu Onsen Bus Stop and a 10-minute drive from Kumano Hongu Shrine.

1. The employees in the hotel is so kind. Especially Sugawara-San. His English is very good. He gave us a lot of helps such as advices of hiking in Kumano Kodo, reservation of our lunch and dinner, arrangement of the transfer of our baggages. We are also appreciate to the man who welcomed us in the first night. He doesn't speak English but provided many helpful information thru Sugawara-San's translation. 2. The hotel has both indoor onsen and outdoor onsen. The outdoor onsen is very nice. It's far beyond my expectation. You can see stars and enjoy the nature onsen in the evening. 3. The room is big and clean. The housekeeping help collect the quilts in the morning and spread them in the evening for the guests.

Offering tranquil outdoor hot-spring baths with nature views, a Nakai-san personal attendant, karaoke, massages and sumptuous Kaiseki dinners, Yunominesou is a 10-minute walk from Tsuboyu hot spring, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Absolutely amazing onsen hotel, great location, friendly staff, we also enjoyed the kaiseki dinner so much that we ordered it again. Same with the traditional breakfast. It doesn't get any more authentically Japanese than this, anywhere you go, quintessentially Japanese!

Looking for a property with onsen?

Featuring traditional Japanese hot springs known as "onsen," these hotels offer a relaxing soak in therapeutic, geothermal waters. Traditionally onsens were located outdoors, but a number of hotels now offer indoor facilities for private or shared use. The healing properties of each onsen will vary depending on its location, with "kuroyu" black water famous for its positive effects on skin.

    Well located next to the hiking trail. We arrived late after sunset and left early, so can’t say much. The rooms were very clean, the showers are private onsen which was nice. They provide some basic dinner and porridge for breakfast which was very kind.

    The room was large and offered western seating. The view from our room was lovely overlooking the river. Outdoor onsen was excellent! It was very clean and well maintained. Food was ok. There was plenty offered however was not all to our taste. Some of the gish was overcooked. Being given a western breakfast on the second morning was a pleasant surprise!

    The indoor gendered onsen was really good and of a very soothing warm temperature. The outdoor onsen is mixed gendered so doning the bathing suits provided at the indoor onsens, families could onsen together and bask in the outdoor stoney river sights.

    The room was clean. The bento box was decent. The private onsen was definitely a plus but most ryokan in Yunomine onsen have one.

    the quality of the food was amazing - the variety of foods was top class - the three types of onsen were very enjoyable. I particularly liked the outdoor onsen - the staff who helped us catch buses were very helpful- the location right on the bus route and right on the river with the hot springs was wonderful.

    A welcoming and cosy place in a beautiful spot where you can dig your own hot spring in river banks, whilst also having two private onsen to boot.
