Spent two nights here. The hotel is looking a little tired in certain areas....especially some of the bedrooms in the older part of the hotel are downright shabby! The communal areas have been refurbished somewhat but the rooms are of different quality...try to get one in the refurbished part of the hotel...you have to pay an extra fee but it's well worth it...the rooms with their own private outdoor bath are excellent. The restaurant was relatively small for the number of guests...especially on a Friday night/Saturday morning and as with all Yukai Resort properties there is limited English signage in the restaurant and bathing areas.There is no English in the lobby area on the information boards or elsewhere so you ll need to ask if you need anything.Iwata San spoke a little English and offered a good level of customer service. The food on offer is simple Japanese fare with a few western dishes. The best thing about this hotel is the baths.The outside bath at the front of the hotel is split over a 24 hour period between men's time and women's time. Again the indoor baths in the basement area change over between 1am and 2 am so you get the chance to experience all the baths during your stay.From Friday - Sunday many families come to stay so try to avoid the weekends if you're looking for a truly relaxing experience. There are massage chairs available but they are grouped closely together in one small area so it's difficult to relax. There is a convenience store about a 5-10 minute walk from the hotel if you need anything and it's a 15-20 minute walk in the opposite direction to the Yubara onsen area. The central area had no atmosphere at this time of year.There were only a few places to eat there and a number of abandoned or closed buildings...but Hakkei near the famous Sunoyu riverside baths allow outside guests to use their hot springs between 11am - 2 pm for a 1000 yen fee (bath towel is available for 500 yen so take your own... or use the smaller towels available in the changing room areas) All in all Yukai resorts offer great value for an overnight stay with 2 meals and good baths.
