Located in the deep green mountains of the Fukuchi Onsen hot-spring area, Yumoto Cyouza offers a hot-spring experience with traditional Kaiseki dining and free Wi-Fi throughout. Many of the spacious Japanese-style rooms include an old-style Iriori fireplace. Rooms at Yumoto Cyouza Ryokan feature a Japanese decor with sliding paper screens and a low table with floor cushions. Each room has an en suite toilet, an LCD TV and an electric kettle with green tea. Guests bathe at the hot-spring baths and sleep on a tatami (woven-straw) floor in Japanese futon bedding. Less than 5 minutes from Fukuchi Onsen bus stop via the free shuttle, the property is 11 km to Shin Hodaka Ropeway cable car and 41 km from JR Takayama Train Station. On-site parking is free. To use the free shuttle, call the ryokan. Three hot-spring baths can be used privately, simply by locking the door behind you (reservation not required). Shared indoor and open-air baths are also available. A free-use internet PC is on site. The Japanese set-menu breakfast and multi-course dinner are served at the dining room.
