Some accommodation includes a terrace and a seating area with flat-screen TV, as well as air conditioning and heating. At the ryokan, some units are fitted with a coffee machine and chocolates or cookies.

A buffet breakfast is available at the ryokan. There is a coffee shop on-site. The ryokan is located in a geothermal area, with a number of hot springs nearby for guests to relax in. The 11F Onsen is the best!! The view is extraordinary, also the water's heat is very fine. The full set dinner also gives lots of Japanese taste I was looking for. There's also transportation provided by Yumotokan for arriving and departing customers to the nearest station.
