Supervised by :  Ouki Corporation

Toki no Yado Sumire is a small hot spring ryokan in Yunosawa Onsen, Yonezawa City, Yamagata Prefecture. Set in a peaceful mountain village surrounded by the rich nature of the upper reaches of the Haguro River, it offers a tranquil setting filled with the sounds of flowing water and birdsong. Its defining feature is its concept of being exclusively for two guests. With a calm, adult-oriented design and thoughtful hospitality throughout, every detail is crafted to help guests focus on their time together.

There are 10 guest rooms in total, each with its own distinctive design. With their spacious layouts, they are popular with married couples, couples, and close friends looking to spend special time together. The rooms have no TVs or clocks, allowing guests to enjoy an escape from everyday life. Another highlight is the seasonal creative kaiseki dinner, made with top-grade Yonezawa beef and plenty of local vegetables.

The 100% free-flowing natural hot spring water is gentle on the skin, and the private open-air bath overlooking the mountain stream (free 24 hours a day) lets two guests enjoy bathing together. Everything is in place to savor the luxury of doing nothing, and the extraordinary feeling of immersing yourself in simple nature and hot springs refreshes both body and mind.
