Yanagi No Yu

The authentic Japanese ryokan onsen experience

Nothing

We were pleasantly surprised to find hot water and tea ready for us, along with a delightful Japanese treat, upon our arrival on both days of our stay. This thoughtful touch made us feel immediately welcomed. Despite the language barrier, the staff was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure all of our needs were met. We felt well taken care of throughout our stay and truly appreciated the excellent service.

歴史のある旅館で施設の古さはありますが清潔に保たれています。お料理も美味しく、従業員の方々の対応も気持ち良かったです。 ただ、温泉の備品、リンスインシャンプーが残念でした。

The local scenery is beautiful, the onsen is serene. The staff is super-friendly and helpful

Clean rooms and bath which are exactly what one would expect from the advertisement.

My regret that I couldn't go the hotel because I had fallen down and broken my thighbone. Then I was in hospital. My leg was taken surgery. i am still in the hospital now.

조식, 석식 모두 맛있었고, 오래되었지만 관리를 매우 깨끗하게 잘 해오신 느낌이며 모든 직원이 친절해서 편안하게 잘 쉬었습니다.

Absolutely gorgeous. I love the garden, even in its winter state, and the outdoor bath and sauna was just amazing with the flurries of snow around. The staff were amazing, and the driver took us to the aquarium and back on our last morning before we took the train back to Aomori. The history is very special, and the food was also spectacular - it was so lovely to experience this Japanese cooking.

We ended up walking from the station to Yanagi no Yu with our luggage, but in a happy accident, we happened to come across the Keika brewery on our way. Excellent beer. We wouldn’t have known if we hadn’t walked.

The food was very authentic and the staff were most helpful. This is quite and experience and definitely something one should do when visiting Japan. Something incredible happened to me - I forgot my earrings behind and with the help of the police in the next town I visited, they contacted the owner who kindly posted my earrings to me at my next stop ... free of charge!! Unbelievable service and so honest and kind.

The food, although authentic and extremely well presented and much of it, isn't what Westerners are used to. It's not that I didn't like it, but it was different and wouldn't be to everyone's taste. If you aren't adventurous with food you may want to bring along a snack ;).
