Fukushima · Yuyutei

1

An Inn for Only Two Groups a Day

• 🏡A small ryokan in Inawashiro that accepts just two groups per day so each guest gets wholehearted hospitality.
• 👨‍👩‍👧Parties of four or more booking both rooms can have the whole inn to themselves (by consultation).
• 🤫To respect guests' time, staff enter the rooms as little as possible.

2

Private Natural Hot Springs, 24 Hours

• ♨️Both the indoor and open-air baths are reserved privately and can be used any time, day or night (open-air bath until 22:00 in winter).
• 🪨The open-air bath is a rustic tub for two to three people carved from a single block of Zao stone.
• 💧The source is Inawashiro Yuto Onsen (Yamabuki-no-yu), a hypotonic, weakly alkaline cold mineral spring rich in metasilicic acid, noted for neuralgia, muscle pain, poor circulation and fatigue.

Two Japanese-Western Rooms

• 🛏️There are only two rooms, each a Japanese-Western suite of two 8-tatami rooms, sleeping up to three.
• 🛌Up to two guests use Simmons semi-double twin beds; a third guest lays out their own futon in the tatami room.
• 📺Rooms have a 55-inch OLED TV, washlet toilet, fridge, fireproof safe and samue loungewear; there is no in-room bath, so bathing is in the hot springs.

4

Seasonal Aizu Cuisine

• 🐟Salt-grilled iwana char and Aizu horse sashimi appear on the menu in every season.
• 🍄Menus center on mountain vegetables in spring, soba dishes in summer, mushrooms in autumn and wild boar sukiyaki in winter.
• 🍶Dishes are served on Arita porcelain and Aizu lacquerware, each prepared just before serving.

5

House-Milled Juwari Soba

• 🌾Local heirloom buckwheat "Ten-no-ka" is stone-milled in-house and hand-cut as 100% buckwheat noodles.
• 🥢The juwari soba is served as the closing course of dinner.
• ⛰️At about 520 m elevation, the large day-night temperature swing produces fragrant, firm buckwheat, the inn explains.

6

Inside the Inn

• 🔥The wood-scented interior features an irori sunken hearth and traditional crafts.
• 🪵Look for a 350-year-old red pine counter and a table cut from a 550-year-old cedar.
• 🍽️Meals are served at the table, the counter or the irori hearth.
