Yumeguri no Yado Yoshiharu

Private onsen and deck, large room, very friendly staff

Such amazingly helpful and kind hotel staff / it made our stay extra special. The room was lovely the private Onsens wonderful and the food spectacular- but you need to have a healthy appetite!!!😁

Nothing- it was soooo good.

Absolutely tremendous half-pansion. We regretted we had a late lunch, because the dinner was huge and delicious. What it does not say on the site is the facilities. It has 7 different big public pools + 1 sauna (divided between men and women and then swapped at 7pm) and 5 private pools (1-4 persons each, available at no charge). All you need is already there (towels, what to dress, toiletries). Worked late hours (past midnight) and opened early at 5 I think, which is rare and very nice. We had a relentless grandma running around and helping out. She seemed shocked at our pretty much non-existent knowledge of how to eat all the different dishes, how to dress etc.

Language barrier. We seemed to have annoyed our grandma because we couldn't understand a word of her instructions.

Beautiful Japanese Ryokan. Friendly and welcoming staff, beautiful gardens and exceptional facilities. Staff have limited English but with the use of Google translate we managed to get by. An information sheet was provided to explain onsen, dinner and breakfast opening times

To improve the experience, a multilingual guide for dinner would be helpful. We were unsure what we were eating and if there was a “proper way” or order in which foods should be consumed - we didn’t want to cause offence.

One of my best onsen hotel experience. The hotel is next to the beach. Dinner and breakfast magnificent.

Nothing

Friendly staff, beautiful hotel, food was so unique and delicious. The whole thing was an experience. Also recommend the private bath in room

Nothing at all

Excellent services and helpful staff

No

The dinner was interesting, mostly cause there's no English menu and it was half kaiseiki - some items can be rly out there for non-adventurous folks. The ambience was perfect, quiet and secluded. The private onsen rooms were quite available, on a first come first serve basis. When we tried, only 1 out of the 7 onsens were taken.

Understandably it is in Japan and likely they weren't very open to international tourists - but if that's ever their plan i would recommend perhaps an English manual & menu. When we first check in, the staff brings you around to introduce you to all the facilities (and even how to wear the yukata!) and luckily we knew some basic Japanese and them a few English words. It also helped that it wasnt our first time as a ryokan, but otherwise I can imagine the interaction to be difficult.

In one word, perfect!
