Healing Hot Spring Retreat: Hirayama Ryokan at Yunomoto Onsen

Nestled in the historic Yunomoto Onsen, with over 1,700 years of history, the secluded Hirayama Ryokan offers an intimate stay with only eight guest rooms! The ryokan takes pride in its own hot spring source, which produces a unique red saline water. This "Millennium Bath," said to have been discovered by Empress Jingu, is also known as the "Fertility Bath." Soaking in it gently warms your body from within, providing both physical and emotional healing.♨✨ Another highlight of your journey here is, of course, the food! 🍚💛 The cuisine is deeply rooted in Iki's natural bounty, featuring freshly caught fish, pesticide-free vegetables, and eggs from free-range chickens. Almost entirely self-sufficient, these ingredients are transformed into handcrafted, creative local dishes. 🥢🍱 Each bite is a testament to the rich blessings of Iki's nature. 🌊🥬🐟 The guest rooms are designed with a warm wooden aesthetic, each themed around different aspects of nature. Relax your body and mind amidst the slow-paced, tranquil atmosphere of Iki, and indulge in moments of serene luxury. Here, you can quietly experience the daily life of an island in harmony with nature, embarking on a truly unique journey. 🌙🛏 During your stay, immerse yourself in the islanders' way of life, coexisting with nature, and enjoy a multi-sensory experience. 🌺 Before you know it, you might find yourself thinking, "I can't wait to come back again!"
