A Former Sake Brewery Turned Into a Warm and Welcoming Hot Spring Inn
"Yunokura Tsuruya" is a historic hot spring inn that first opened as a sake brewery and was later renovated to operate as an inn. In addition to delicious sake, the hotel also serves flavorful dishes made with fresh seafood and locally grown vegetables, creating memories of a special trip. The open-air bath, where you can soothe your fatigue, is a free-flowing hot spring whose quality is also said to have skin-beautifying effects. The well in the courtyard has been flowing continuously since the days of the sake brewery, symbolizing the hospitality that has been passed down since the hotel's founding. It is also recommended as a base for sightseeing in Okayama Prefecture.
