Anyone who is\u00a0already familiar with some of Japan’s\u00a0onsen\u00a0<\/strong>(hot spring) culture<\/strong>, will know that there are few better ways to rejuvenate yourself than a long bath at the end of the day. But for the epitome of Japan’s revitalisation, have you ever\u00a0\u00a0thought about visiting some of Japan’s best<\/em> onsen? Like the carbonated hot springs<\/strong>\u00a0of Nagayu Onsen<\/strong> in Oita\u00a0Prefecture,<\/strong>\u00a0which are rated one of Japan’s ‘Top 100 onsen<\/strong>‘ places? Well,\u00a0Yukimiso<\/a>\u00a0(\u53cb\u559c\u7f8e\u8358)\u00a0<\/strong>is just one example of a beautiful ryokan<\/strong> (Japanese inn) in Nagayu Onsen<\/strong> that allows you to experience these incredible hot springs<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/strong>In this article, I get a taste of Nagayu Onsen by staying at\u00a0Yukimiso for one night.<\/p>\n

A Warm Welcome to Yukimiso Ryokan<\/h2>\n

By the time that I arrived at Yukimiso<\/strong>, I was hot, flustered and pretty\u00a0exhausted. And I was very much looking forward to some onsen time!\u00a0As I parked my car, my host\u00a0came outside to greet me and help me with my things. This was a lovely greeting, because despite only being in Kyushu for less than 10 hours I had\u00a0managed to accumulate a lot of\u00a0stuff already! At the reception, my host asked me to wait while she prepared the key for the room. She returned with a petite rectangular biwa <\/strong>(plum fruit) dessert\u00a0and ice cold tea. After gratefully devouring both items she showed me around the facilities and led me to my room.<\/p>\n

\"Nagayu<\/a>

The Room\u00a0at Yukimiso Ryokan<\/h2>\n

My room at Yukimiso was large<\/strong> and well-equipped with everything I needed. From a yukata<\/strong> (to wear when heading to\/from the onsen)<\/strong> and toiletries, to tea-making<\/strong> facilities (yes I needed<\/em>\u00a0tea<\/strong>!).<\/p>\n

\"Nagayu<\/a>

Tea for Two?<\/p><\/div>\n

Similarly to many other traditional ryokan,<\/strong> the room had three sections. The section at the back of the room behind the second set of\u00a0shoji<\/strong> (sliding doors) had drink facilities and a seating area for two people. The main area in the middle of the room is also used for the futon<\/strong> (for sleeping) and\u00a0was the largest of three sections.\u00a0This section also had\u00a0zaisu\u00a0<\/strong>(legless chairs), along with a television, air-conditioning\/heating unit, wardrobes, a safe and a few lamps to soften the evening atmosphere. The area\u00a0at the entrance of the room had a large wardrobe for futons and pillows, which connected to a W.C and a sink. As per traditional ryokans, bathing here takes place in the\u00a0onsen<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Is Carbonated Water OK for Bathing?<\/h2>\n

Yes! This hot spring water, which contains carbon dioxide (CO2)<\/strong>, is said to boost circulation, as well as softening and improving the appearance of skin<\/strong>. The water can also help to improve digestion<\/strong> –\u00a0although as with anything, this should be in moderation! One glass a day<\/strong> is enough to get some of the benefits.\u00a0At\u00a0Yukimiso Ryokan, <\/strong>the carbonated water is also used for cooking rice, giving it a fluffier texture than normal. Of course though, the main place to enjoy this water is in the hot spring!<\/p>\n

\"Nagayu<\/a>

Onsen at Yukimiso Ryokan<\/h2>\n

Yukimiso Ryokan has gender-separated<\/strong> outdoor and indoor onsen<\/strong> which are located at the end of the building, away from the main entrance. On both occasions that\u00a0I tested these onsen, the outdoor bath proved to be slightly cooler than the indoor one, so if you’re more sensitive to the heat, I recommend trying the outside one first. I personally preferred the indoor onsen because it is slightly deeper. However, in the outdoor onsen\u00a0you have the added benefit of being able to sit beneath the stars at night and listen to the crickets chirping.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Hospitality at Yukimiso Ryokan<\/h2>\n

The highlight of my stay at Yukimiso was the incredible\u00a0hospitality<\/strong> I received from the wonderful owners, in the form of friendliness and fantastic food. My host\u00a0really took the time to ensure that everything was well and even did her best to explain the food to me in English! Ryokans are usually quite famous for their exceptional service, and Yukimiso was definitely no exception!<\/p>\n

Dinner and Breakfast<\/h2>\n

In ryokans,\u00a0dinner<\/strong> tends to be served quite early, between 6pm and 7pm, whilst\u00a0breakfast<\/strong> is usually\u00a0served between 7am and 8am. Most ryokans will include\u00a0the price of breakfast\u00a0and dinner within the cost of your stay.<\/strong> Also, the portion sizes tend to be pretty large, I usually am unable to eat lunch during the day if I have had dinner and then breakfast at a ryokan!<\/p>\n

The cuisine at Yukimiso is a traditional Japanese\u00a0ryori <\/strong>style. This cuisine is comprised of multiple small dishes with local ingredients<\/strong>, brought out in a pre-determined order. \u00a0For dinner alone I enjoyed\u00a0tempura<\/strong>, hot spring rice<\/strong>,\u00a0grilled\u00a0sardine, eel<\/strong>\u00a0sushi, tofu,<\/strong> pumpkin pie and much more!<\/p>\n

Famous Sites around\u00a0Nagayu Onsen<\/h2>\n

Nagayu Onsen<\/strong> is the place to go for nature<\/strong> lovers and\u00a0outdoor<\/strong> enthusiasts. It\u00a0is based in the city of Taketa<\/strong>\u00a0– a city with famous castle ruins left from its construction during the Edo<\/strong> period. Taketa City is also near the incredible\u00a0Azo-Kuju National Park <\/strong>which has popular attractions such as the Tadewara Marshland<\/a> and Kuju Flower Park<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Next to Yukimiso is Nagayu Lake<\/strong>, which is only a 2-minute walk down the\u00a0hill.<\/p>\n
