Yugawara Onsen Ryokan Uohan in Yugawara

I am a first-time traveler to Tokyo who does not speak Japanese or English well, and the travel agency said that the bathroom was included and uploaded a photo of a private room so I made a reservation, but it turned out that the bathroom was literally a private bathroom and not a ryokan.
I thought something was wrong, so I tried hard to communicate with Papago using hand and foot gestures, and it would have been unpleasant to make a complaint that did not make sense, but they kindly guided me without a wrinkle on their face and even upgraded me to the room in the photo.

And the dinner and breakfast were delicious, and I felt like I was treated well with a course meal for dinner in particular.

If I could go again next time, I would like to use the best room and make another memory.

I sincerely thank you for your consideration so that I could end my ryokan trip in Japan, which was almost unpleasant due to reservation issues, on a good note.

Please make a reservation by looking at the photos carefully, and if the travel agency does not have a separate private room and private bathroom, I recommend that you check before making a reservation.

Clean and good service

Absolutely wonderful place to stay, everyone was so helpful and lovely. we had the best time and would love to go back and stay there again. beautiful room, serene surroundings and a lovely little town with a beautiful foot spring and waterfall. My favourite part of the 2 week trip!

I made Manyoko Bonsai at this inn.
It was a very good feeling as it was a traditional inn in Yugawara. If I had time, I wanted to take a hot spring for an additional fee.
Bonsai was also fun and I was at the entrance. Direct sales were also good.

It is a good old inn. The room feels old, but there is harmony in the beautiful room, and I felt seriousness in each place.
I was able to enjoy the open-air bath slowly.
It was my first time to take a room bath and eat in a room, but I was very satisfied. In particular, the meal was a "full course" of delicious fish both at night and in the morning, and I was full and ate too much.

Very cosy place in winter. The folks there are ultra friendly and helpful! The place is old but very functional. Will definitely go there again.
