Yumotoso Toyokan

【My Stay During a Trip】A Century-Old Hotel in Takeo Onsen Review of Yumoto Zhuang Toyokan Location: ★★★★★ Right next to the Onsen gate. Also very close to Sagahirakawaya, a local tofu specialty store. View: ★★ Nothing remarkable. Facilities: ★★★ The facilities are a bit old, given its hundred-year history, but they are well-maintained. Service: ★★★★★ The staff are all elderly, offering very traditional Japanese service. The elderly lady who escorted us to our room held an English introduction sheet and looked a bit troubled, wanting to explain things to us. But when she heard we were okay with Japanese, she visibly relaxed, which was absolutely adorable. Room: ★★★★ We had the most basic room type, but the room size was still quite good. Onsen: ★★★ The hotel has two hot springs, located on the 1st and 4th floors respectively. The onsen itself is nice; the water felt very smooth. However, due to its long history, there's no open-air bath, and the bathing area isn't very large. Food: ★★★ We only booked breakfast, which was decent and as expected.

The location is great, about a 10-minute walk from Takeo Station! The roads are flat and easy to walk on. There's a bakery on the first floor of the city hall, which has delicious food, and a fruit shop at the intersection—fresh and inexpensive! Located directly in front of the building entrance, my corner room had a perfect view of the building's nightscape! Absolutely beautiful! The staff were always incredibly warm and welcoming, meticulously maintaining traditional Japanese etiquette for every guest! Although they couldn't communicate in English very well, they always managed to communicate with each other through gestures—fantastic! The hotel has two hot spring baths with a comfortable temperature and ample amenities! Soaking in the hot springs was incredibly relaxing! Two meals are included with each stay, and the dishes are plentiful and delicious! Perfect for travelers looking for a more in-depth experience! A leisurely trip to experience the vibrant atmosphere of Takeo City!

The food was great! The hot springs were fantastic! The staff were incredibly attentive! The hot spring source is right in front of the hotel, making sightseeing very convenient!!

I used this hotel for a business trip to Takeo City. There is a parking lot right in front. The room had a bed, which was nice. The amenities showed thoughtful consideration, as you would expect from someone with experience running a women's hotel. There are two large public baths, and the water quality is smooth and silky, perfect 💯. Breakfast was served with attentive service from the staff, and there was even complimentary coffee ☕. I will definitely stay here again when I go to Takeo.
