Yunokami Onsen sits along the upper reaches of the Aga River, an area famed for scenic spots such as Okawa Gorge and the dramatic rock formation known as To-no-Hetsuri. “Koboushi no Yu Senshintei” is a tranquil hot spring inn quietly nestled amid approximately 4,500 tsubo of natural forest. Not only the open-air baths but also the guest rooms and lounge are surrounded by trees that press right up to the windows, allowing guests to relax while embraced by the changing beauty of the seasons, from fresh greenery to vibrant autumn leaves.
The open-air baths, where you can enjoy forest bathing and a sky full of stars, as well as the expansive main bath with its picture-like view through large windows, both use 100% natural hot spring water directly from the source. With its exceptional clarity, this renowned spring is said to promote good health and beautiful skin, offering a truly restorative soak. The inn has just 13 guest rooms, ensuring a spacious, unhurried atmosphere and attentive hospitality. Featuring a calming Japanese aesthetic, the accommodations range from standard rooms and connected two-room suites to special detached rooms equipped with private open-air baths and cypress indoor baths.
Meals highlight creative cuisine made with carefully selected seasonal ingredients from Oku-Aizu, best enjoyed alongside the wide variety of local sake from Fukushima, a region well known for its fine rice wine.
