Yugawara Chiyoda-so

We stayed here as a family of four to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.The food was delicious, and the Onsen was spacious and very relaxing.All the staff were kind, and we had a wonderful time. It was our first time visiting Yugawara Onsen, but we would love to come again.Thank you very much for your hospitality.

We stayed for one night on a weekend family trip.I had seen Reviews saying the building is a bit old. It isn’t new, but it was cleaned and well maintained beyond expectations, and my whole family was able to stay comfortably. There is no attendant; you choose a yukata in your size at the front desk and head to your Room on your own. Since it’s a compact Accommodation, this was no issue at all for an everyday trip.The hallways and Rooms have an older style, but the entrance area feels spacious, and above all, everything is thoroughly cleaned down to every corner—spotless. The toilet has a washlet and is bright, and aside from the faucet not being single-lever type, the sink area was also very clean. On top of the refrigerator they provided complimentary 2-liter mineral water bottles, which was really convenient—no need to keep refilling water.The Onsen has clear, simple water quality, but even on a day with light snow flurries it warmed us up nicely and was very relaxing. The bathing area was also kept very clean and comfortable.The meals were slightly modest in both volume and number of dishes, but each item was carefully prepared and delicious—we enjoyed everything to the last bite. Rice, miso soup, and drinks are self-serve; only the tempura comes out later, with everything else already set out from the start. This worked great even with kids because they didn’t get bored waiting. The serving staff seemed Vietnamese (perhaps?), but their service—from explaining the menu to serving—was extremely polite and impressive.This is not a luxury Ryokan, and some parts are self-service, so it may not be ideal for a special-occasion trip. However, for everyday use or a casual family getaway, we were very satisfied.It’s an Accommodation I’d definitely like to visit again if I have the chance—highly recommended!
