Interesting and relaxing.
This is a traditional Japanese Onsen and you have to be willing to go with that. The actual public bath is amazing and none of the children cared that it was naked only. The swimming pool is also great, the whole place…

Il servizio e l’assistenza verso il cliente sono davvero di basso livello

Questions about Yuzanso

What time is check-in and check-out at Yuzanso?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Yuzanso allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Yuzanso?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Yuzanso have a pool?

Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.

Does Yuzanso have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Yuzanso have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Yuzanso?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
