Overview

Yunomoto Onsen is an onsen ryokan in Takaharu, Miyazaki, that opened in 1902 (Meiji 35) and serves its water straight from the source. The spring water is a heated high-concentration carbonated spring, and there are communal baths and open-air baths, separate for men and women. All 11 rooms are Japanese-style tatami rooms or Japanese-Western rooms, and most accommodation plans have a child rate. At dinner, elementary school children are served a kids' kaiseki and preschool-age children a kids' meal. Some rooms have a Western-style toilet while others share a washbasin and toilet, and meals accommodating allergies can be arranged (please confirm the details). Bathing hours are from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Rooms

The ryokan has 11 rooms in all, mainly Japanese-style tatami rooms and Japanese-Western rooms. Alongside the 6-tatami Japanese-style tatami room, which keeps the feel of an earlier era, there is Sazanka, where Takachiho-no-mine can be seen from the broad window-side space, plus the detached rooms Tsutsuji and Tachibana and the detached room Satsuki, which has a balcony. The 6-tatami Japanese-style tatami room does not come with a tea set, and its washbasin and toilet are shared. Depending on the plan, rooms can take from 1 to 5 guests, and every room type has a child rate. The under-futons use the high-resilience Breathair mattress, and the covering futons are custom-made down duvets. Room equipment includes a television, a telephone, an internet connection (Wi-Fi in some rooms), a tea set, a refrigerator (in some rooms), a hair dryer (in some rooms), individually controlled air conditioning and a toilet with a bidet function (in some rooms); whether a room has a Western-style toilet varies from room to room.

Dining

Dinner is built around the Yunomoto kaiseki, with several plans to choose from: the rock-salt plate kaiseki, shabu-shabu (thinly sliced meat swished in hot broth) with Okome-buta pork, sukiyaki with Hinata-gyu Japanese Black wagyu beef and shabu-shabu with Roppaku Kurobuta pork. For children, elementary school children are served a kids' kaiseki and preschool-age children a kids' meal. If an elementary school child would prefer the kids' meal, this can be arranged by contacting the ryokan in advance or by noting it in the remarks field when booking, and the price stays the same. Dinner is served with kosen-mai rice and breakfast with the ryokan's own white rice. Breakfast is served in the dining area, and dinner in the banquet hall or the dining area. Meals accommodating allergies can also be arranged (please confirm the details).
