Ryokan
Poor management team
Reviewed By JaegerLimZero response from the hotel when I email them via Agoda in English and google translated Japanese. No response when I email them via their website . On site service is decent though the Japanese style room is slightly old. Decent hot spring size and amenities. Kaiseki meal are reasonably ok for the priced paid but it is served in a common area and not in room Last meal will be served at 7pm so best to check in by 530.

Relive the glory
Reviewed By Hua MYubara onsen has been famous for its pubic outdoor hot spring and the hotel is very close to this tourist spot. Founded 55 years ago, the hotel had become the late emperor's resort for a few occasions. Onsen pools are located on the 4th,5th and the roof top. In partcular, on the5th floor spa, the wall ceramic was specially made with sakura flower pattern, peacock, and plum tree to entertain the emperor 's eyes. Hotel staff are friendly and energetic. The room has been well kept and reserved for His Majesty family up to present. All in all, Yubara kokusai has maintained its arrogant that is worn out through time... This is perhaps one of the best places to feel the spirit of genuine Japanese onsen.

Great Onsen and Service
Reviewed By PengapaThis is more like a hotel with hot spring rather than a ryokan. We stayed here on a weekday during an off season period so the place was pretty much deserted and we almost had the hotel to ourselves. The baths, both indoor and outdoor, were great and it was fantastic to take a bath on my own in a big bathtub. The food was very good. They serve Japanese breakfast but you can also have bread and coffee. What is great about this place is they provide a lift to stations, Kojima and Kurashiki. We had quite a bit of time at the Kojima station and so we decided to catch a train to the other side of Seto Ohashi and come back, using our Kansai Wide Pass. You get a great view from the train. Next day, we got a lift to the Kurashiki station. This made it possible for us to visit 'Bikan' area in Kurashiki before moving onto Himeji to look at the castle. Overall, we enjoyed staying here although I cannot tell what it is like when it is busy.

【5 REASONS TO STAY at Kifu no Sato】 #1.A vivid appreciation of the seasons:All aspects of traditional Japanese culture derive inspiration from the respect and appreciation for the unique qualities each season brings. The seasonal flowers and food at our ryokan set the scene for your authentic Japanese experience. With the change of each season, so the menu changes to reflect the best that Okayama has to offer in fruit, vegetables and speciality fare. #2.A chance to taste some of our long-treasured Japanese traditions at their best:It is rare to find a ryokan with tatami mats spread throughout the entire facility including the elevators. They are made of woven soft rush straws and walking on them without shoes is said to give gentle stimulation to the pressure points of the feet keeping you healthy and relaxed. To freshen up after a long journey, you can dip into one of our open-air natural hot spring baths while admiring the garden in the daytime or under the stars at night. #3 The comfort of our guests is our priority:With comfort in mind, we offer an exclusive selection of amenities such as a "pillow menu" (to suit your sleeping needs), robes, massage/health treatment, and all our furniture, Bizen pottery and glassware are produced by local artisans. #4 Ideal location for visiting many must-see spots and full of hands-on experience:Yunogo is central to a wide selection of places of interest, where one can learn about and experience traditional crafts such as pottery and carpentry, visit art galleries and museums, and witness and try your hand at a "samurai" martial art. #5 Samurai culture: Whereas Kyoto is known as the cultural and spiritual centre of Japan, Okayama can lay claim to strong association with traditional samurai culture, thanks to its history of sword making in Osafune Town and prominent historical figures such as Miyamoto Musashi.
Good overall experience
Reviewed By KI-NRTWe chose to stay here for one night during our drive from Osaka to Hiroshima (2 hours from Osaka to Yunogo, and another 3 hours to Hiroshima), and it was a good choice. At least when you base it on price, Kifu No Sato has no peer among ryokans in the area, so we felt it was as good as it'll get in Yunogo Onsen. Yunogo is a sleepy Onsen town that has either seen better days or is in the process of building up (not sure) - I'd bet on the former. There's not much to do, so I wouldn't consider it to be a destination in and of itself (unlike, say, Kinosaki Onsen or Kaga Onsen.) Kifu No Sato itself probably doesn't merit a visit for the sake of staying there, although if it was located in a most developed Onsen town, it would be a worthy option even among the better ryokans that might exist. Overall, we had a pleasant stay. The building itself is up there in age, and it's not old in a good way. It's a (somewhat faded) yellow-colored building that is not particularly attractive. There is also no garden - just a parking lot up front and then the main building (where everything is located in) just behind it. It gets better, however, as you approach the building, thanks to some tasteful Bonsai and Ikebana arrangements throughout the property, beginning with the outdoor entrance. We stayed in the Hiougi (Leopard Lily) Suite, which is the highest grade room at Kifu No Sato and measures 75m² in size. It felt more spacious than the specifications - there were two separate living rooms in addition to the bedroom, along with a bathroom (with dual vanities) and both an indoor and outdoor Onsen bath. On paper, everything looks up to snuff. In reality, it was also quite nice. The Suite was tastefully decorated, and the furnishings were of decently high quality. Given the age of the ryokan, it wasn't too shabby at all. It doesn't scream "luxury," but it's definitely a comfortable and spacious enough room to relax for an extended period of time. The dining experience was very good. The main thing we appreciated was the ability to dine in our own room - something that is increasingly hard to find, even in the very best luxury ryokans in Japan. The food itself was also pretty good. Nothing was particularly creative or awe-inspiring, but they definitely used high-quality ingredients, including locally renowned produce (such as Okayama Black Sesame.) Although Yunogo is about 90 minutes away from the Sea of Japan coast, they were able to serve "Zuwai-gani" (Japanese Snow Crab), a delicacy that is available between November and March each year. And it's not cheap! Several Crab dishes were complemented by various Appetizers, Sashimi, Tempura, Vinegared Octopus and Beef / Shrimp dishes, and everything was prepared very nicely. It wasn't particularly memorable, but we had a satisfying meal nonetheless. The same can be said about the breakfast. All dishes were fresh (and freshly prepared) and healthy, with a good variety of small dishes as is common in ryokans. All in all, we have no complaints regarding the food offerings. Is Kifu No Sato a destination ryokan? I wouldn't go as far as saying that. However, if you happen to be in the area, I'd be hard pressed to find a place that approaches the level of accommodations, food and service that Kifu No Sato manages to offer - all at a price that won't break the bank.

Relaxing rotenburo
Reviewed By Simon LChikutei is in an old town, Mimasaka, buoyant and popular in the 1960s. Streets are quiet with many run-down shops but for a peaceful and relaxing stay in a Japanese ryokan with inside onsen (shitsunai onsen, male bathing facing the township below, female bathing not having a view) and outdoor onsen, Chikutei is a great choice. Fantastic outdoor onsen (rotenburo). Near entrance to female rotenburo is waiting room with tatami floor, gas stove and open-coal pit (irori). Dinner and breakfast can be included. Great shabu shabu and sashimi.

Comfortable stay and Excellent Staff
Reviewed By yspingAs usual, Japanese are very friendly and helpful. Even though they know you do not understand Japanese, they would still keep on explaining to you in Japanese or in their very limited English. This hotel do have a Chinese staff. This help a lot. The Spa is comfortable and my wife and I enjoy soaking in our in-room outdoor bath tub. It is cold outside and the Spa water is warm. It feels wonderful. We take breakfast and dinner option in our stay. Breakfast is fine and we like it many much. However, the dinner is just kind of ok. The atmosphere and setting are very good. Considering the price paid and the food. I would consider it is only satisfactory.

趣のあるお宿
Reviewed By mikami2018大雪の日で宿にたどり着くのが大変でした。津山市の辺りには積雪がありませんでしたが、この辺りは30センチ位は積もっていてスタッドレスタイヤで無ければ無理でした。 古い建物は味わいが有りました。 ただ、寒かったです。 温泉はぬる湯で、長時間入る事を勧めていただきました。大雪の日にはなかなか温まりませんでしたが、陽気が良ければ良さそうです。 男女別の温泉は朝晩入れ替わりで、こじんまりとした感じでした。 館内にはゆかりある棟方志功さんの作品があちこちかざられていました。 お料理は綺麗に盛り付けられていて、丁寧に調理されていて満足できました。

安いし部屋も広いです
Reviewed By ruirunrunじゃらんから予約。 素泊まりツイン4400円。安い！ スーパー銭湯に併設されたホテルです。 入り口が分からなくてスーパー銭湯のフロントに行くと、ホテル専用のフロントがあると教えられ移動。 スーパー銭湯フロントの横に別の部屋があるのでそっちに行きます。 ホテル専用の入り口もありました。 が絶対わからんぞ、ここ（笑） チェックインに時間がかかります。 ネット予約でこちらの情報は全て記載してあるのに、再度手書きで全て記入。 しかも予約者本人だけでなく同行者の情報も全て記入。めんどくさいw フロントで紙スリッパをくれますが、サイズは25と30しかなく、30は大きいと思って男性も25にしたら、靴下履いてたら入らない大きさだったので、再度30をもらいに行きました。 アメニティはフロント横にあるのでいるものをもらえます。 浴衣、枕、シャワーキャップ、ターバン、ヘアクリップ、髪ゴム、耳栓、アイマスク、綿棒、歯ブラシ、クシ、ブラシ、コットン、カミソリ、ボディスポンジ、ボディタオル。 色んなものがある！便利！！！ その隣にはシャンプー、リンス、ボディーソープを自由に選べるスペースがあります。 それぞれ数種類ずつ。 小さな容器があるのでそこに詰めてお風呂に持って行けます。 お風呂に入るたびに違うメーカーが使えて楽しいです。 部屋は安いビジネスホテルよりだいぶ広いと思う。 ロッカーもあるし荷物を置く場所にも余裕があります。 部屋にも歯ブラシがあって、コップ、コーヒーカップ、お茶のティーバッグ、ポット（ティファールの大きめサイズ）、目覚まし時計、冷蔵庫、ドライヤーあります。コンセントもあちこちあるし、設備は充分。 早速スーパー銭湯へ。 タオルは言えばフロントで何度もくれるので、何度もお風呂に入りました。 スーパー銭湯なので人が多い。 お風呂の数は充分だし、ロッカー室や脱衣室もキレイ。 だけど風呂の湯がどれも消毒臭く、肌の弱い同行者は消毒のせいで全身ひどい痒みに襲われて肌がボロボロになりました。 肌が弱い人、アトピーの人は行かない方がいいと思う。 ホテルとしてはとても良かったです。 壁が薄いとあったけど、確かに廊下の話し声は聞こえてきます。 が、部屋同士の声は聞こえないので問題ないかな。 駐車場は無料だし出し入れ自由だし、近隣に飲食店がたくさんあるので利用しやすいと思います。 平日はスーパー銭湯の観劇が無料らしいので、かなり楽しめると思います。
