Quiet, clean, beautiful sento, great location

Stayed in June 2025

There was no breakfast offer although a hotel a minute walk away has a cafe that opened at 7:30 am.

Yubune is in a modern building that is architecturally sympathetic to the traditional building style. It is modern and clean. The room was spotless, well designed and comfortable. The shower was good. There's a large room where you can cook and eat. Drop coffee and tea was provided in the room and soft drinks in the fridge were complimentary.

nothing comes to mind

staff were very accommodating. they allowed us to leave our baggage ahead of the check-in time. since it was also raining, they allowed us to "park" our ebikes inside our room which was spacious enough. bonus was the onsen!

Window screen in Japanese style was gorgeous but not effective at blocking out any light - but not an issue if you have an eye mask. Hotel design is lovely but walls are thin - earplugs are needed!

Location, Design, shower and very comfortable beds. Front desk staff super helpful and friendly.

Unfortunately when we went in early April only one restaurant in town was open. The front desk had an amazing list of places with a map to help, but their English was very limited and they didn’t understand when I said all of them were closed for some reason. The lack of restaurants is something people should know when traveling to Onomichi during cherry blossom season. The town was essentially shut down during the week and yubune does not have a restaurant attached. SOIL across the street had one open but only open to guests on Wednesdays.

The beds were super comfy. There was amazing high quality juice, coffee and tea in the room. The onsen was amazing and so nice to be able to walk to it in the clothes they provide in your room.

We were hot and wanted to use the air conditioning but we were told it was not possible so I was uncomfortable trying to sleep. The staff had to unlock the window with a key which is weird. I made sure to ask in advance if the hotel could ship our bags same day to Matsuyama. They said yes but then when it came time to ship the bags they said it wouldn’t arrive until the next morning and they did not apologise for the wrong information and I had to request that they help me find a way to get it there same day (which they eventually did but they certainly didn’t offer in the first place. It was also almost double the cost)

Lovely and clean, good sized rooms, beautiful onsen, great location

The onsen was wonderful after a fun day of biking. The complementary drinks were generous and refreshing. Would highly recommend yubane.

Absolutely beautiful property and the highlight of our Japan trip. High quality amenities with a touches of luxury throughout. Loved the bath house! We found enough great food options close by for our night stay. Can’t wait to return one day.

The welcome was friendly & helpful. The bedroom was very big & beautiful & the onsen was great after cycling for the day.

The spa alternates days between men and women so one gender can miss out during a short stay like ours.

The staff was extremely welcoming. Loved the location, a short walk from the waterfront and near cafes and the rest of the town. Nice facilities in the room: coffee, teapot, fridge.

Very clean modern Japanese style hotel. Fantastic staff. Great hot baths with sauna and cold pool. Breakfast at a nice cafe which is only 50m away

All great

Slept like a log in our gorgeous peaceful room with simple Japanese styling and well designed pale wood interior. Onsen was fab and spotlessly clean. Kind staff helped us forward our baggage to next hotel. Had outstanding dinner and breakfast at SOIL Setoda.

An understated, simple but very comfortable and well-appointed lodging. It was wonderfully designed as a chic but comfortable space. The baths were superb.
