Yunosuke-no-yado Chorakuen

About

Yunosuke-no-yado Chorakuen in Izumo-Tamatsukuri Onsen, founded in 1868, combines rich history with the unique distinction of housing Japan's largest mixed-sex open-air bath where guests can wear provided swimwear to enjoy onsen together with partners or family members of the opposite gender. The ryokan features an expansive Japanese garden that visitors describe as "nicer than some of the paid gardens you can find in Kyoto," complementing the traditional experience where all guest rooms have hot spring water supply and some come with private open-air baths. Despite its somewhat remote location with fixed shuttle bus schedules, guests consistently praise the fantastic overall experience, the beautiful gardens, smooth hot spring waters, clean and spacious rooms, delicious kaiseki meals included in the price, and the scenic small town outside the hotel that is particularly charming during sakura season—all at a price point that's "cheaper than similar class onsen resorts close to big cities.
