Nyuto Onsenkyo Tsurunoyu

I was looking forward to my stay at Yukinoyuno, and it did not disappoint. I experienced an extraordinary time away from the everyday. The continuous snowfall created macaron-like shapes in the river. The meals were delicious, and I enjoyed them slowly with sake. It was truly a place that made me not want to leave. Next time, I hope to visit during the autumn foliage season. Thank you very much!

Nyuto Onsen was a place I had always wanted to visit, and my dream finally came true. I chose this accommodation based on reviews, and from the moment I arrived by bus in the rain, I felt the warm hospitality as they greeted me with an umbrella. The pork miso soup and tea offered during check-in were delicious and comforting. The accommodation is small but impeccably clean, with tasteful decor throughout the facility. From my room, I could enjoy a view of the mountain stream, and it was delightful to relax in a kotatsu after so long. The onsen features two types of baths with different water qualities: "Golden Bath" and "Silver Bath." Both can be enjoyed as they alternate between men’s and women’s use. The mixed open-air bath with its stunning view also provided bath towels for peace of mind. The meals were made using seasonal ingredients, each dish incredibly delicious with beautiful presentation and tableware. I was especially happy to try kiritanpo hot pot, a local specialty. Pairing it with sake tasting made for an exceptional experience.Although this stay was only for one night, it rejuvenated both my body and soul. Next time, I hope to visit for a multiple night stay!
