Overview
Wakura Onsen Yukemuri no Yado Biwanso, the longest-established ryokan in Wakura Onsen, is known for its setting overlooking Nanao Bay and its abundant hot spring source. Because of the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake, it has been on temporary operation while restoration work continues since November 11, 2025, and normal operation is not expected to resume until autumn 2027 or later. The changing rooms of both the men's and women's communal baths have a baby bed, and baby seats are provided inside the bathing areas. There are many steps inside the building, so getting around by wheelchair remains difficult.
Rooms
Guest rooms come in three types: Yu no Hana-tei, Shiomi-tei and Shirasagi-tei. Shirasagi-tei was demolished as a result of the earthquake, and a new Shirasagi-tei is due to be completed in autumn 2027. The Japanese-Western rooms in Yu no Hana-tei with a semi-open-air onsen bath are spacious, with a flat barrier-free layout and Tempur bedding. Shiomi-tei has rooms with a larger capacity, suited to groups. Layouts vary from room to room and include 8 tatami mats, 10 tatami mats, 10 plus 4.5 tatami mats, 12 tatami mats, 12 plus 4.5 tatami mats, and 18 plus 4.5 tatami mats. The ryokan is currently on temporary operation while earthquake restoration work continues, so only a very small number of rooms can be used.
Dining
Guests staying in Yu no Hana-tei dine at the restaurant Umi, and guests staying in Shiomi-tei dine in the private dining rooms Sai. Sai was demolished in the earthquake, but after construction work it reopened on August 1, 2026. At present the only place that can serve meals at all times is the small restaurant Umi, which can seat only about 5 groups, so on days when it is full only room-only plans are sold. For children there are dining chairs and tableware for young children, along with yukata and slippers for young children, as well as kids' meals and kids' plates made by hand by the staff. Food allergies can be accommodated as far as possible if you get in touch in advance by message, phone or email.
Baths and Onsen
The men's communal bath is on the first floor and the women's communal bath is on the second floor, both fed by the abundant source of the celebrated Wakura Onsen. The spring water is a saline spring containing earth chlorides, said to be good for rheumatism, neuralgia, weak constitutions in children and chronic women's conditions. Bathing hours are 5 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 1 a.m. Because of shore-protection work, the men's open-air bath has been removed for now, so the open-air bath can be used only in the women's communal bath. A private-hire onsen bath, Sumi, opened on August 8, 2026 for staying guests only; it costs 3,300 yen per session, running for 45 minutes from the top of each hour. Construction work is under way, however, so there is no view of the sea from the private-hire onsen bath.
Family-Friendly Features
The changing rooms of both the men's and women's communal baths have a baby bed, and baby seats are provided inside the bathing areas. Portable bassinets are also available to borrow at the dining area. Children aged 0 to 1 staying without meals or bedding are free of charge, and there is no need to include them in the guest count. Whether the outdoor pool - usually open in summer from noon to 6 p.m. and free for staying guests - can operate in summer 2026 is undecided because of the restoration work. In autumn, families can enjoy iidako (webfoot octopus) fishing in the courtyard. Reaching the women's communal bath used to mean taking the stairs, as the escalator could not be used, but an elevator was completed in August 2026, making it easier to get to. There are still many steps inside the building, so getting around by wheelchair remains difficult.
