Okayama · Yubara Onsen Gamelan

1

A Bali-style hot spring inn

• 🌺A small onsen inn decorated to feel like a Balinese resort.
• 🎶The name comes from the gamelan, an Indonesian instrument, in the hope that guests unwind as if listening to its soothing music.
• 🛏️All rooms are Western-style with beds, and bedding and lighting are coordinated with Bali in mind.

2

Hot spring water in every room

• ♨️Every room's tub is fed with unheated, undiluted Yubara Onsen water, available 24 hours.
• 💧The water is an alkaline simple spring at pH 9.0 with a silky feel, said to help with neuralgia, muscle aches and fatigue.
• 🔥Because it is not diluted it runs hot, so each tub has three taps — cold, hot and source water — to adjust the temperature.

Six uniquely styled rooms

• 🌌Tenku is the only room with a rooftop open-air bath carved from natural stone, reached by a private staircase (15.03 m², Hollywood twin).
• 🤍Byakuya has a canopied king bed and white ceramic tub; Ruri has a blue ceramic tub and a loft-style bed space.
• 💚Sawarabi has an octagonal wooden tub and Bengara a red ceramic tub; free Wi-Fi in all rooms.
