YunoyadoIrifune

A hidden retreat in Aso-Uchinomaki where you can enjoy two different spring sources with 100% free-flowing natural hot spring water

Kumamoto Aso City

"Yunoyado Irifune" is a hot spring inn with 7 rooms in Uchinomaki Onsen in Aso City, Kumamoto Prefecture. Its greatest appeal is that guests can enjoy two rare spring sources in Uchinomaki Onsen, a neutral simple spring and a sodium, magnesium, and calcium sulfate spring, both as free-flowing natural hot spring water. It features an indoor bath, an open-air bath, and five private baths with different atmospheres, and overnight guests can soak in fresh water at any time, 24 hours a day. The bathtubs, made with rokko stone, a type of volcanic rock, offer a high far-infrared effect and warm you from the core. Together with creative cuisine made from fresh ingredients from the inn's own garden, guests can spend a deeply relaxing stay in a space where traditional Japanese design and modern furniture blend in harmony.
