Hotel berhampiran Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s Cherry Viewing Mound, Yoshino

My wife and I spent our first two nights in Japan at Yukawaya. This was our first real holiday since Covid and we couldn’t have found a better way to kick it off! The ryokan is charming in every sense. We stayed in the new rooms with a balcony and outdoor onsen bathtub overlooking a serene and green valley. The room was spacious and in traditional Japanese style but, unlike many other traditional ryokans, also had all the amenities for modern travellers. The new extension also has a public bath with outdoor onsen pool which is open to the public only for a few hours everyday and the hotel guests can use them in almost privacy the rest of the day. The family run ryokan has been around for generations but they have kept it in perfect conditions. More important than the facilities is the warm and charming hospitality by the family. Not only were they extremely helpful from the moment we arrived, explaining about the best way to take in Yoshinoyama in English, but they truly made us feel welcomed by taking very good care of us. When my wife decided to skip breakfast one morning with an upset stomach, the lady cooked the tea rice more softly than usual for me to bring back to the room for her. Last but not least is the delicious cuisine served for dinner and breakfast. All the ingredients are from local sources. And even though they were presented in very elaborate kaiseki-like manner, we felt like we were eating a fine meal at someone’s home and not any restaurant. We can’t wait to return again, hopefully to catch the famous cherry blossom!

This place was gorgeous. First thing first, I left the same day from Tokyo and managed to break my phone on my way there so I got lost and missed the last bus from the nearest town. I was able to call the Ryokan personnel and one of the employees (whose name I forgot) drove to there around 11pm and picked me up ♥ That in itself was incredibly sweet. The only (and when I say ''only''!!!) thing that was a bit...meh...Is that during my stay, the town was empty. Like, 3-4 people, I was so confused. But the town is incredibly beautiful, the hikes in the surrounding area are amazing, I could have spent hours laying on the ground in the temple area to listen to the sounds of water...The food included in my reservation was...to die for. Honestly, what I ate there (the dinner was my favorite) was the best food I ate in my life. The room I stayed in was so clean and stunning, the yukata was comfortable and the tea was delicious! The staff there was so friendly, I forgot their names but I would like to go back there next time I visit Japan for sure :) Next time though I will make sure to come back when there are more people :) So I can make more memories of this great place!

立地がとてもよく、どこへいくにもいい場所でした。

Мы остались в полном восторге от рекана. Хозяин очень милый и добродушный. Повсюду идеально чисто, белье и юката белоснежные и пахнут свежестью. Два слоя татами, спать супер удобно. Комната просторная светлая и уютная. В зоне онсена / помывочной обновили напольное деревянное покрытие. Чай, угощения и кайсеки все очень вкусно! Спасибо за заботу!

奈良県出身者からすると、奈良県、しかも中和以南にこのレベルのホテルがあることが驚き。拍手を送りたい。地元民の贔屓目ではなく、ホテルの施設、サービス、スタッフ、どれをとっても合格点だと思う。玄関を入ったロビーは広くて開放感があり、寛げる。大浴場が有るのも個人的にとても嬉しい。 特に良いと思ったのは和洋バラエティに富んだ朝食ブッフェと、16時〜18時のウェルカムドリンク。真夏に汗を流して移動してきた身に、ソフトドリンクだけでなく、生ビールやスパークリングワインまでセルフで飲み放題、おまけにお菓子やおつまみまで有りなんて、さらにチェックインした時だけで無く連泊中の宿泊者なら誰でもOKなんて、太っ腹過ぎます。 奈良県の観光拠点として是非、是非これからも頑張ってもらいたい。

道の駅にもなっている文化村ですが、幹線道路沿いにある訳ではなく静かな環境にあります。しかも須川1号古墳の上に作られた、歴史と芸術文化を体験できる施設群の中に建っている特徴あるホテルです。シンプルな作りは部屋の中だけでなく、クレジットカードとペイペイだけで現金は使えない、などコンセプトは徹底していました。しかし不便なことはなく、コーヒー、お茶、インスタントみそ汁は自由に利用できて、持ち込みを部屋でもラウンジでも場所を選ばず利用できます。また部屋の防音性は高く、併設されている文化村駐車場の音もほとんど聞こえなかったので、熟睡できます。朝食ボックス付きのプランを利用しましたが、多くのおかずとヤマトの柿の葉寿司が入った2段のお弁当で十分な朝食となりました。自分で持ち込んだ朝ごはんを、共有のラウンジでセルフコーヒーを飲みながら食事している人もいて、自由で利便性が高いです。また利用したいホテルです。

료칸 여행은 처음이었는데 생각했던 것보다 더 만족 했습니다. 화장실이 객실 밖에 있었지만 전혀 불편함을 느끼지 못했고, 온천도 24시간 오픈되어있어서 원하는 시간에 언제든 온천욕을 할 수 있었습니다. 석식은 방에서 코스로 받습니다. 일본 가정식 느낌의 음식들을 가져다 주시는데 플레이팅은 물론이고 맛도 굉장히 담백해서 중간에 물리는 느낌 없이 식사 할 수 있었습니다. 객실 옷장 안에는 유카타가 준비되어 있었고, 유카타를 입고 온천욕과 정원 산책을 할 수 있었습니다. 조식은 룸서비스가 아닌 1층 식당에서 먹을 수 있습니다. 조식을 먹기로 정한 시간에 식당에 가면 안내받은 테이블에 차려져있는 음식을 먹었습니다. 석식과 마찬가지로 음식은 일본 가정식 이었습니다. 석식을 먹고 난 후 온천욕을 하는 사이에 객실에 이부자리를 깔아주시고, 아침에 조식을 먹으러 간 사이에 다시 이부자리를 치우고 테이블을 옮겨 주십니다. 서비스는 두 말 할 것 없이 너무 괜찮았고 위치도 역과 가까워 찾기 쉬웠습니다. 앞에 있는 정원도 잘 가꾸어져 있어 보기 예뻤습니다. 무엇보다 직원분들이 따스하게 맞아주어 편안하고 기분 좋게 묵을 수 있었습니다.🩷

一人旅で利用しました。 他の方の口コミにあるように、スタッフさんが本当に丁寧で心地よい対応をしてくれました。とても有り難かったです。 個室の広さは、寝るだけでしたら充分。寝具も清潔でした。ただ、全て木材で出来ているので繊細な素材のものは直接置かないほうが良いかもしれません。 洗面所やシャワー室はとても清潔で使いやすかったです。 天理(や奈良)に行った際、再度利用させていただきたいと考えてます。ありがとうございました。

新しく綺麗なお部屋、過不足ない設備、便利な立地、迅速でフレンドリーなサービス、無料の朝食も良かったです！ 予約後の連絡の為にメールアドレスがあるといいのですが…。 (後、やはり1214は換気の問題か何か匂いがありますね。1212は大丈夫でした) ありがとうございました。また利用します:) Clean room with simple but good enough facility. Convinient to access Tenri station, and places in Tenri city. Frindly and quick responce of staffs for any inquiry. And... lovely free breakfast :) I would like to say thank you for all support during my stay :) Ah... if possible... would like to give hotel's email address to guest who has booking... it is hard to contact via phone from overseas. (seems vetilation of room1214 had problem (1212 was OKay). Pls check)

時間限定ではありますが、温泉上がりのビールとアイスクリームのサービスは非常に嬉しかったです。朝食バイキングは8時頃行ったらタイミング悪く品切れの物もありましたが、天ぷらを目の前で揚げてくれたので、揚げたてが頂けて美味しかったです。
