Chikutei

Chikutei is a lodging facility in Yunogo Onsen, Mimasaka City. It is highly popular and top-class in reputation—having ranked in a “Top 47 Japanese Inns” list run by a major travel reservation site, and also earning #1 in Okayama Prefecture in a breakfast category. Rooms are mainly Japanese-style, and as the name “Chikutei” suggests, the atmosphere is calm and soothing—perfect for relieving travel fatigue. The open-air bath surrounded by bamboo lets you fully enjoy the Yunogo Onsen water, known as a “beauty bath,” while relaxing in a space far removed from daily life. There is also a large bath on the top floor where you can enjoy panoramic views, offering a different bathing experience than the bamboo grove bath. Meals are offered in multiple courses, letting you choose whether to focus on branded beef, seafood, vegetables, and more—flavors that only a blessed region can provide. Check the official website carefully and take your time deciding which course suits you best. There is pickup service from JR Hayashino Station, and there are also shuttle buses from various regions.
