A New Way to Relax: Yugawara Onsen Ryokan's Exciting Additions
Nestled in the soothing embrace of the Kanagawa Prefecture, Yugawara Onsen Ryokan, operated by Relo Hotels & Resorts, promotes a unique retreat experience. With the guiding philosophy of “Connecting thoughts and fresh experiences,” this charming ryokan is eager to upgrade the holiday choices for its visitors. Starting December 18, 2025, two new half-outdoor bath rooms will be introduced, expanding the options for a tranquil stay in one of Japan's peaceful hot spring destinations.
Yugawara Fuga offers guests an opportunity to unwind while enjoying their stay amid a rich collection of over a thousand books, magazines, and manga in the on-site café and library. This tranquil setting emphasizes the essence of a sophisticated getaway aimed at adult visitors. The newly enhanced rooms will provide a luxurious escape where guests can relish the comfort of private outdoor baths, enriching their overall experience at the ryokan.
Details of the New Half-Outdoor Bath Rooms
The half-outdoor bath rooms offer a spacious yet private environment, with traditional Japanese aesthetics. Here’s what you need to know:
Room Dimensions: 10 tatami mats
Capacity: Up to 3 guests
Facilities: Half-outdoor hot spring bath, shower toilet, washroom, and an inner bath.
In addition to these exhilarating new additions, starting January 21, 2026, the ryokan will unveil three new reasonably priced Japanese-style twin bed rooms. These rooms, designed for comfort and simplicity, will accommodate three guests and will feature shower toilets and a shower booth but will not offer views.
A deliberate decision made by the ryokan is the absence of televisions in all guest rooms. This choice enhances the immersive experience of tranquility and escapism that guests seek from their stay, allowing for a truly unique getaway far from the hustle of everyday life.
Special Winter Promotion
As anticipation builds for these new facilities, guests can take advantage of a special winter sale. The promotion titled
“Winter Sale: Up to 20% OFF” offers visitors a chance to indulge in the ryokan’s exquisite Japanese-Western fusion cuisine. Starting from
