forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.41 out of 5 (601 reviews). Guests praise the three private-hire baths, which are free to use and let families with children enjoy the onsen without feeling self-conscious. They also praise the staff's attentive touches, such as setting out a chair for a stuffed animal a child had brought along, and both dinner and breakfast are well received. Some guests do report that the passage leading to the private-hire baths is dark at night and that they felt uneasy going alone.

Overview
Yumoto Yunokawa is an onsen ryokan with 11 Japanese-style tatami rooms at Yunokawa Onsen in Izumo, Shimane. Its water, counted among Japan's three beauty-making hot springs, is 100% natural onsen flowing straight from the source and can be enjoyed 24 hours a day. The private-hire baths are free for staying guests, and the plan for families with babies comes with baby items to borrow, such as a baby bath and a baby futon. Do note that the 6-tatami rooms cannot be used by children of elementary school age and under, the building is not barrier-free, and every guest room is on the second floor, up a flight of stairs.
Rooms
All 11 guest rooms are Japanese-style tatami rooms. They come in three sizes - 6, 8 and 14 tatami mats - and the size varies by building. Sound carries to the neighboring room in the 6-tatami rooms, so guests of elementary school age and under are asked to refrain from using them. The 8- and 14-tatami rooms can be used by families with young children: the 8-tatami rooms sleep 1 to 3 guests and the 14-tatami rooms 2 to 6, which suits families and group trips. Every room has a Western-style toilet and free Wi-Fi, and a humidifier and an air purifier are provided in all rooms. Air conditioning and heating, a television with satellite broadcasting, and a refrigerator are also provided. The guest rooms do not have their own bath, so you use the communal bath or a private-hire bath. The building is not barrier-free, and since all guest rooms are on the second floor, you will need to go up and down stairs.
Dining
Dinner and breakfast are both provided. Breakfast starts at 7 a.m. and is served in a large room on the first floor that looks out over the garden. When children of elementary school age and under have the same dishes as the adults, the listed price is discounted by 20%. A plan with a kids' meal and futon bedding is 7,700 yen. Baby food matched to your child's age in months can be prepared for 1,650 yen per meal. If there are allergies or ingredients your family would rather avoid, let the ryokan know in advance and the content can be changed.
Baths and Onsen
The onsen here is counted among Japan's three beauty-making hot springs, and it is 100% natural onsen flowing straight from the source. The water is a sodium-calcium sulfate-chloride spring and contains metasilicic acid, which is good for moisturizing. You can bathe from check-in until 9 a.m. the next morning. The communal bath has one indoor bath each for men and women. There are three private-hire baths - Yasashisa, Dan and Furusato - and staying guests can use them free of charge. Until 9 p.m. each use is 50 minutes; after that you can bathe without watching the clock. Keys are borrowed at the front desk. A baby bath is available to borrow as well, which makes it easier for a parent and child to bathe together in a private-hire bath.
Family-Friendly Features
The ryokan is set up so that guests traveling with a baby can stay easily. A baby bath, a futon, a diaper trash bin, and baby shampoo, conditioner and lotion are available to borrow, and there is a high-chair-type baby chair at the breakfast venue and a tubular-frame baby chair in the guest room. These come as benefits of the Akachan Onsen Debut (Baby's Onsen Debut) plan supporting moms and dads. Colored yukata for children are available too, though whether they are free or carry a charge depends on the combination of meals and futon bedding you choose when booking. Because guests of elementary school age and under are asked to refrain from using the 6-tatami rooms, you will be choosing an 8- or 14-tatami room. The building is not barrier-free, and since all guest rooms are on the second floor, getting to them means using the stairs.
Access
JR Shobara Station is a 15-minute walk away, and a shuttle is offered for staying guests only: let the ryokan know your arrival time and they will come to meet you at the station. From Izumo Airport it is about 10 minutes by taxi. By car it is about 10 minutes from Shinji IC on the San'in Expressway. Parking is free, with 60 spaces.
