Reinvigorated Luxuries at OYADO Yunotoki

OYADO Yunotoki, located in the serene area of Yuinishikawa, Tochigi, is gearing up for a grand reopening on June 27, 2025. The entire facility is undergoing a significant renovation designed to highlight the concept of "enjoying the hot springs" and crafting a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like coming home. This charming inn features just 15 rooms that promise an intimate escape into relaxation, where guests can experience 100% natural hot spring water without any heating or dilution.

Six Delightful Hot Spring Baths to Explore

The renovation introduces a new private outdoor bath for guests to enjoy in seclusion, alongside existing outdoor baths equipped with barrel saunas. Each bathing area is fed by three distinct sources of hot spring water, ensuring a completely authentic experience that enhances your wellbeing. Visitors can luxuriate in six unique bathing spaces at their leisure, creating a truly indulgent retreat.

Taking a moment to soak in the hot springs and exhale can truly refresh both body and mind, transforming even the simplest time into a precious moment. We encourage our guests to embrace the tranquility found within our facilities where every breath eases you into relaxation.

Special Stamping Rally for a Fun Bathing Experience

To celebrate the grand reopening, we will hold a “Bathing Stamp Rally.” Guests who collect stamps from all six bathing areas will have the chance to enjoy a delightful surprise. With a mix of leisurely exploration and a playful twist, guests can embark on their journey to discover their favorite bath.

Comfy Tatami-Style Beds for Unmatched Relaxation

Some of our guest rooms will feature new "tatami-style raised beds" that combine the warmth of traditional tatami mats with the comfort of modern bedding. This thoughtful design prioritizes comfort while retaining the inviting essence of a Japanese-style room, promising a peaceful stay.

Renovations extend to all guest rooms, designed with a carefully curated minimalist aesthetic that fosters a calming and personable environment. Each space encourages guests to relax without pretense, easily feeling at home.

The goal is to create an environment where whispers of, "It feels so comforting here," become commonplace—where you can feel as if you have returned home.

Enhanced Dining Experience with Warm Ambiance

Our dining area has been expanded, allowing more guests to enjoy meals during their stay. We plan to introduce warm, seasonal dishes served over a traditional hearth, making meal times memorable experiences. Our menus will showcase local ingredients, allowing diners to savor the essence of Tochigi with our carefully crafted kaiseki cuisine. Expect nostalgic dishes that evoke a sense of comfort and familiarity.

We also envision hosting intimate tea parties around the hearth, enhancing the dining experience further as part of our future offerings.

Delightful Tatami Lounge to Enjoy After Bathing

Post-bathing relaxation is equally essential; our new Tatami Lounge will provide guests with blissful moments to unwind. Here, seasonal ice pops will be served for free, allowing you to cool down after a soak while resting on comforting tatami mats. This unhurried time is the essence of the traveling experience you don’t want to miss.

Tools for Deep Conversation and Reflection

In this gentle post-bathing atmosphere, we will have "conversation theme cards" and "self-reflection sheets" available. These thoughtful tools aim to deepen interactions or help you face your thoughts quietly. They can serve as prompts to articulate feelings that may otherwise remain unspoken.

From long-time couples rediscovering each other to new partners uncovering different facets, the moments after a soothing bath are designed to be more nurturing and fulfilling.

A Stationery Corner for Writing from the Heart

Within the Tatami Lounge, there will be an area dedicated to OYADO Yunotoki's original stationery and envelopes. Guests can take a moment after a bath to jot down their thoughts, whether messages to travel companions, letters to their future selves, or notes to cherished individuals unable to join the trip.

Simple, heartfelt letters birthed in this space could transform into tender memories of a gentle journey.

Upcoming Social Media Campaign

We are excited to announce a campaign where guests using the hashtag “#Yunotoki” on their social media will receive original bath salts as a gift. By sharing your unique memories and emotions from your stay, you help us spread the beauty of Yunotoki to a wider audience.

Special Early Bird Offers Available

To commemorate our new beginning, we are offering a special rate of 2,200 yen off per person for early reservations. Take this opportunity to immerse yourself in the newfound space and experience the deeper connections of bath time.
