Experience the Unique Charm of Nyuto Onsenkyo's Tsurunoyu and Taenoyu

The experience at Taenoyu is quite different from Tsurunoyu! The entire hotel is decorated in a Taisho-style blend of Japanese and Western aesthetics, and the facilities are much newer than those at Tsurunoyu. The dinner and breakfast are also more exquisite compared to Tsurunoyu. However, we unanimously felt that the experience at Taenoyu was not as good as Tsurunoyu. Firstly, Taenoyu has a lot of foreign tourists, and the hotel tends to place all foreign guests in one dining area during dinner, which can feel a bit discriminatory. Secondly, the best view at Taenoyu is from the mixed-gender bath, which is only open to women from 5 to 6 PM. The problem is that it gets dark after 5 PM, making it impossible to see the waterfall scenery clearly. If you want to enjoy the view, you have to use the mixed bath, which is quite disappointing. In conclusion, if you're planning to visit Nyuto Onsenkyo and are torn between these two hot spring hotels, I recommend Tsurunoyu. #Taenoyu #NyutoOnsenkyo #Tsurunoyu
