- Right in front of the station
- 1,000 yen with a face towel
Iizaka's night sky seen from the ninth floor
Yunoya stands right in front of Iizaka-Onsen Station, so it is easy to stop at on a day of rail travel. The hinoki view bath on the ninth floor looks down over the spa street and the river, and is known as a place to see stars at night. Day bathing is received only in the daytime, so an early afternoon visit leaves more room.
Combining it with an outer-bath round
Iizaka has several communal baths within walking distance, with the outer baths clustered around the station. A practical plan is to enjoy the wide view bath here and cover the rest of the springs as outer baths. Day bathing at Yunoya is received only until 17:30, so later in the day it is safer to move to the outer baths.
Before you go
- No official tattoo policy is published — ask at reception.
- Ryokan day-use hours are limited and may be suspended in peak season — phone the same morning.
- Last entry is 30–60 minutes before closing.
