Natural Hot Spring Business Hotel with Private Source Flow - Yumura Hotel

The Onsen here suits my body really well, so I visit regularly for therapeutic bathing.It’s a bit far from the nearest station, Kofu Station, so if you’re coming by train you’ll need to take a bus. However, there are various bus destinations for Yumura Onsen, so if you don’t check in advance, even from the same bus stop you may not know where it’s headed.This time I came by car and checked in sometime after 3:00 PM while sightseeing along the way.I had made an advance Reservation for a single Room, but it seems there was a last-minute cancellation and a Western-style twin became available, so I called directly and had them change my Room.The single Room feels exactly like a Business Hotel.The Japanese-style twin I stayed in last time felt more like a sightseeing Hotel; the Room was spacious and very comfortable.The Western-style twin also felt a bit larger than a typical Business Hotel twin, so I could relax comfortably.Their own-source Onsen feels like it coats the surface of your skin the moment you get in—water beads off easily, and it quickly helps with rough skin (personal impression).There are two private baths and one large public bath.For the private baths, if you go and one is available, you can use it freely for about 30 minutes as a guideline.You can also open the movable roof with a switch to make it feel more open-air.It’s plenty big—comfortable even for around four people—but stretching out alone and soaking is simply unbeatable.Whenever I stay here, I always choose the Plan with breakfast included,because their food uses local ingredients—and it’s delicious.It almost feels like more guests come for breakfast than dinner because of that.So I usually keep dinner simple with bento or prepared foods from a nearby supermarket and make sure to eat well in the morning.After soaking in the Onsen many times and enjoying a hearty breakfast again this trip as well, I had another very satisfying therapeutic-bathing getaway.If you have a car, places like Takeda Shrine, Shosenkyo Gorge, Zenkoji Temple (Kofu), and Isawa Onsen are close by. If you go a bit farther out, even the Fuji Five Lakes are only about an hour away—very convenient.I’ll be back to soak again when my skin starts acting up.

In conclusion, we were extremely satisfied with this Accommodation. We stayed as a three-generation family trip, and it was very well received by everyone. If you look for minor flaws you might find a few, but the outstanding hospitality more than made up for them. Every staff member was kind, and we were truly moved by their genuine spirit of welcome.Meals at both breakfast and dinner had fewer dishes, but each item was delicious and felt homemade, so we were more than satisfied. The all-you-can-drink alcohol service at dinner was a great touch—please keep it going.The detached Japanese-style room didn’t have much of a view since it faced residential houses, so we couldn’t open the windows, which was a bit disappointing. However, the design was stylish and very comfortable.Most importantly, the hot spring water quality was excellent—my hands, which had been rough from work, became smooth. It left my skin feeling moisturized as if covered with a thin layer of oil; truly wonderful water.One request: it seems other Accommodations in your group run various promotions or fairs, but there were none here, which felt like a missed opportunity. I hope you will consider offering some in the future; if so, we would love to return when we have the chance. Thank you very much for everything.
