Layout
In addition to its 15 traditional rooms, the Yudanaka Seifuso is above all known for its 4 baths of different sizes and styles, which give the ryokan its character. It also has a lounge, a traditional garden and a tea room, as well as a gift shop, a Japanese banquet hall, parking, traditional game rooms, table tennis, video arcade games and a karaoke room.The dishes served are made from local, seasonal produce.
Rooms
The 15 traditional Japanese-style rooms are generally made up of 2 or 3 spaces — a dining area, a living room and a bedroom — all laid with tatami flooring. In these rooms, traditional craftsmanship can be seen in the hand-painted paper partitions, the ceiling panels or the tatami mats, echoing the artistry of the period.Able to accommodate between 1 and 6 people, rooms have either a bathtub, a shower, or both, a refrigerator, and wired and wireless internet access. Beds may be Western-style or laid directly on the floor, Japanese-style.
Some are further equipped with an interior balcony or a typical private garden, air conditioning, heating, a TV and a safe, and some even have a small outdoor bath.
SPA
The Yudanaka Seifuso has 4 different baths, the first being the “rotenburo”, a luxurious open-air bath made from stones from the Shiga plateau. Large and relaxing, its thermal water comes from the natural hot springs of the Yudanaka onsen: colourless, it is said to beautify the skin and relieve the stress of those who come to relax there. At the centre of the pool, a stone table can hold a cup of sake, the traditional Japanese rice-based alcoholic drink. Open 24 hours a day, this bath can be booked for exclusive use.Another onsen is a retro-style indoor bath built in the 20th century (during the Shōwa era), and the two remaining baths can also be privatised.
In the Yudanaka onsen area, visitors will also find large public baths, open-air baths, natural hot springs and saunas.
Activities offered
The signature activity at Yudanaka Seifuso is, of course, bathing in the “onsen”, Japan's hot springs. These provide the ideal setting to relax and enjoy a trip combining both relaxation and history. The onsen are either part of the property or located nearby.Outside, when the region's mountains are covered in snow, the Japanese macaques of Jigokudani Monkey Park warm themselves in the natural springs when they're not grooming: calm and unbothered, they're easy to approach.
In the surrounding area, numerous sports activities are available: martial arts, baseball, football, surfing, volleyball, and more.
