Yunogo Bishunkaku

Yunogou Bishunkaku is a lodging facility in Yunogo Onsen. It sits on higher ground within the Yunogo Onsen area, with golf courses nearby, so you can enjoy both hot springs and leisure activities. Shuttle buses from various regions are well arranged—check the official website for exact times and pickup points. Guest rooms are unified in a calm Japanese style, featuring tatami rooms that have become less common in recent years, giving a nostalgic feel. Among these traditional rooms, there are also concept rooms in collaboration with none other than Hello Kitty. At first glance it may seem far from “Japanese,” but Kitty in a kimono is very cute—so it’s worth considering if you like Sanrio or are traveling with children. The hot springs include a large public bath (indoor), an outdoor bath, and private reservable baths, letting you enjoy a variety of baths from morning to night. The open-air bath is mixed-gender, so families, couples, and groups can enjoy it together. Despite its luxurious rooms and baths, it also has surprisingly rich “second-party” facilities such as a B-grade gourmet food court, karaoke, and even a golf simulator—great for groups with different ages and different travel goals.
