My spouse and I used this restaurant for the first time in 4 years due to repeated hospitalizations. We enjoyed all the dishes. The miso on the hot plate was especially delicious, so we even put it on our last meal. The tempura and steamed dishes were also delicious with a not too strong seasoning.

Director Shinichi Fujisaki of BODYPITKYOTO here. Just finished work in Sonobe-cho, Nantan City, and feeling a bit tired lately. So, I decided to visit the day spa at Kanshokaku in Yunohana Onsen. It was really relaxing. After the hot spring, I enjoyed a cozy coffee time. It was a blissful moment. Thank you so much.

During my stay in Kyoto, I decided to visit the hidden gem of Kyoto, "Yunohana Onsen". Located about a 15-minute drive from JR Kameoka Station, this onsen is surrounded by the natural beauty of the mountains. The history of "Yunohana Onsen" dates back to the Sengoku period, where it was a place for warlords to heal their wounds. This time, I visited the highly recommended day-use onsen facility called "Keizankaku", where I relaxed in the hot spring and enjoyed a cup of coffee in the lounge while admiring the cherry blossoms starting to bloom. [Keizankaku Onsen] Source Name: Yunohana Onsen 3rd Source Spring Quality: Simple weak radioactive hot spring (natural radium hot spring) Source Temperature: 38.5°C pH: 7.1 Color: Colorless, Odorless Benefits: Effective for neuralgia, muscle pain, joint pain, chronic digestive disorders, chronic gynecological disorders.

I used the "Rediscover Kyoto Project" to go on a day trip and visited a bath and had lunch here. First, I took a bath. The bath was quite spacious with a nice view, and I was able to relax. Then, it was time for the main meal of this trip. Here is the menu: "Matsutake mushroom and Tanba beef course meal." The meal included various dishes such as sashimi, grilled matsutake mushrooms, Sukiyaki with Tanba beef, and matsutake rice. The meal was quite satisfying, with delicious flavors and a generous portion. Although the dessert was not that great, overall, I was happy with the taste and quantity of the food.

Breakfast allows you to choose the start time, but we chose the earliest start time. This way, we can enjoy freshly prepared dishes and avoid the worry of the buffet being crowded. However, when we actually went for breakfast, it was not a buffet style. The food was already prepared and served to each customer. So, starting early was still the right choice. The breakfast had a wide variety of dishes, and it was nice to be able to try a little bit of everything. In particular, grilling vegetables on a small stove and dipping them in a special sauce was really delicious. I even thought about trying to recreate this sauce at home. Overall, we left breakfast feeling satisfied and ready to head to the Hozugawa River cruise at 10 am. Thank you for the meal!

I visited this inn thinking of staying overnight and returning soon. It was a relatively last-minute reservation, but I found a great deal and stayed for one night with two meals included for around 30,000 yen for two people. We stayed in a comfortable 12-tatami mat Japanese-style room. The food had a lot of dishes, so we were able to eat to our heart's content. We started with sashimi and beer, which was just the right amount and very appreciated. The beer options were Kirin Ichiban Shibori or Asahi Super Dry, and in this hot weather, the Super Dry was better. The vegetable manju with soy milk sauce was also delicious. Even though I am good at cooking, I don't usually make this type of dish, so it was a treat. The sukiyaki was also good, served hot on a solid fuel stove, and the hot rice made it even better. The dobin mushi and takikomi gohan were also fresh and tasty. The takikomi gohan could be refilled, which was great. After all the food, there was also udon, and when I ate that, I was stuffed. Thanks to this, my weight went up and it took a week to return to normal. For dessert, the Tamba black beans were great. This day, I went to practice golf for the first time in 15 years, and arrived at the inn all sweaty. I was able to enjoy the hot springs, beer, and meals. The sauna and jet bath were relaxing. The price was also very pleasing. Despite being a large hotel, they didn't have a buffet-style meal, which was nice. The staff brought extra rice when requested, and the landlady waved goodbye to us the next morning when we left. For a hotel with many guests, the service was spot-on. Thank you for the meal.

Here is the translation of the review: "At Yunohana Onsen in Kameoka, the next morning's breakfast had changed from a buffet style to a Japanese set meal due to the current situation. The menu included yudofu, butter-grilled vegetables and wiener sausages, grilled salmon, onsen tamago (hot spring egg), kamaboko, hijiki seaweed, boiled shrimp, ham, tomato salad, dried daikon radish, rice, miso soup, pickles, and yogurt. My partner's family seemed satisfied overall, although they felt the yudofu lacked the usual kombu broth they were used to. As someone from the Kanto region, I found it delicious. On the way back, I used a coupon to buy souvenirs. I purchased Tamba black soybean soba noodles, black soybean rice crackers, and a mist made from the source of Yunohana Onsen. It was a wonderful experience to discover this radon hot spring resort near Kyoto. I may have gained a kilo the next day, but it was worth it!"

In the Warring States period, there is a legend that warlords healed their sword wounds, and Yuno Hanazono Onsen in Kameoka, known as a hot spring for curing all ailments and warding off evil spirits. It seems to be well-regarded by relatives, so we stayed there to celebrate our in-laws. We used the Kyoto Prefecture resident discount to enjoy and recover from the economy♪ The inn seems to be child-friendly and barrier-free, and relatively affordable. It was about an hour's drive, but there is also a free shuttle bus from JR Kameoka Station and Torokko Kameoka Station. It consists of three buildings, with window decorations in the common areas such as blinds, fresh flowers, and paintings, and the walls are beautifully designed with traditional Japanese-style patterns. There are many rooms and it seems to accommodate groups as well. The spring quality is radium hot spring, and the water is smooth when you rub it. The large communal bath also has a variety of cosmetic products, and in terms of bathing products, there is a lineup of persimmon, charcoal, green tea, horse oil, collagen, sake lees, honey, etc., which is second only to Noboribetsu in my experience. On this day, the large communal bath was considered crowded with 2-3 people. For COVID-19 measures, as far as I can remember... - Upon entering, there is a temperature check and disinfection with a thermometer and hand sanitizer. - Alcohol dispensers are installed throughout the facility. - The guest rooms have two ventilation fans in the living room and toilet, and windows can be opened. - The large communal bath has a slipper sterilizer and a circulator installed. - The indoor bath has ventilation through open windows and ceiling vents. - The breakfast buffet has been changed to a Japanese set meal. I personally felt that the measures were thorough (although I still take my own precautions such as disinfecting contact surfaces in the room and ventilating for over an hour). Dinner was served in the dining area, with the following plan for a Kyoto beef tasting kaiseki meal. It is said to be a dish that the award-winning chef takes pride in, selected in the cooking category of the "Top 100 Hotels and Ryokans Chosen by Professionals". - Aromatic plum wine - Three appetizers: White tofu salad, Yoshino tofu, scallops. - Sashimi: Sea bream and tuna. - Grilled dish: Turnip manju. - Ishiyaki: Teppanyaki of Kyoto beef and Tanba beef (with herb salt and lemon). - Nabe: Sukiyaki of Kameoka beef. - Mushikago: Seasonal vegetable steamed in a basket (with miso sauce). - Hashiyasume: Chawanmushi. - Tempura: Tempura. - Rice: Matsutake mushroom rice. - Konomono: Daikon and takana pickles with a mellow flavor. - Tawara: Tanba black bean miso soup with Nameko mushrooms and greens. - Mizumono: Strawberry mousse. * Drinks include sake from Oishi Sake Brewery in Kameoka, Tanba local sake, etc. The meat, including the sweet and tender beef with marbling, exceeded expectations in terms of quality and taste. There were only four groups in the spacious dining area that day, so the service was impeccable with perfect timing for lighting the candles on the table and serving the next dish, even receiving high praise from my usually critical in-laws. (They occasionally give a lecture to the staff if they receive poor service.) Also, the minibar in the room was empty. I ran out of alcohol for room drinking and went to the 24-hour vending machine for beer and sours, but they were slightly more expensive than the regular price.

To Kyozenkaku in Kyoto. This inn is famous for its delicious food. The prices are not too high, so I visited. A shuttle bus will come to Kameoka Station. It might be easier by car. The inn has a traditional feel and the rooms are spacious. The hot springs are decent. It's nice that there is a sauna. The meals for both breakfast and dinner are indeed delicious. The portions are quite generous.

This is a hot spring inn located in Yunohana Onsen in Kyoto Prefecture. It was awarded in the food category of the top 100 hotels and inns in Japan selected by professionals. I visited a while ago and the service was very polite. For dinner, I had a kaiseki meal with Japanese beef and went to bed feeling full. When I came for breakfast, I was surprised by the amount of food. There were various dishes such as white miso soup with rice cakes, nabe-style udon noodles, grilled sausages, and more, with plenty of rice. The nabe-style udon noodles and New Year dishes were quite delicious and satisfying. It was a memorable breakfast. The rooms at this inn were nice, and the hot spring was spacious, making it a great place to stay.

I took the Sagano Torokko train and arrived at Torokko Kameoka Station. From there, I was taken to the inn by the inn's shuttle. I stayed at the Yunosawa Onsen "Keisankaku" where they took measures against the spread of COVID-19, such as temperature checks and hand sanitizing at the entrance. Dinner at a hot spring inn is always a treat, with tables spaced out for safety. The table covers had a timely theme of "Akechi Mitsuhide" since I was in Kameoka. The dinner menu included beer, appetizers, sashimi, sukiyaki, and more, all beautifully presented and delicious. The next day's breakfast included a delightful assortment of oden. The staff was warm and welcoming, making my stay very enjoyable, despite the inconvenience of limited Wi-Fi access in the lobby. Overall, it was a satisfying experience. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality.

Dinner and breakfast were both very delicate and wonderful. The service was also excellent. We have created lovely memories. My husband and I visited once and the meal was so good that we brought my parents for a second visit. Nakaesan remembered us and greeted us, which was very nice.

I used Keizankaku for breakfast and enjoyed the buffet on the first floor. They had a variety of items such as bread, rice, curry, udon, desserts, etc. The croissant, black bean bread, and simmered eggplant were particularly impressive. Both children and adults can enjoy it. Thank you for the meal! (*´ω`*)

I stayed at the hot spring inn "Keizankaku" in Yunohana Onsenkyo, Kameoka City, Kyoto Prefecture during my Kyoto trip in late February. This time, I stayed with a plan that included breakfast, and the breakfast venue opens at 7 am. Breakfast is in a buffet style. The menu includes several bite-sized grilled fish, tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelette), pickles, and other Kyoto-style Japanese dishes, as well as sausages, yakisoba (fried noodles), and fried chicken suitable for children. There were also curry, udon noodles, freshly baked bread, and more, all of which looked delicious and made it hard to decide what to eat (*´з`) ｳﾌﾌ There were plenty of seats, so even if you are alone, you can enjoy your meal without worrying about your surroundings. As expected, with a buffet, you end up eating more than usual. It was a satisfying morning buffet. Thank you for the meal.

The atmosphere of the place is just right... Every time I come to Kyoto, I make sure to stay in Kameoka. This time, I stayed at the Yuno Hana Onsen "Keisankaku" hotel. I only took one photo of the exterior, so it might be hard to see, but there is a long corridor that extends from the entrance hall to the back, leading to the two annexes. Everything here is both good and bad in a way, reminiscent of a Showa-era hot spring hotel (definitely not a traditional ryokan). It feels like a hotel that accommodates school trips, with large halls for groups and banquet rooms... The communal baths are spacious, making it a good place for families or groups of friends traveling together. The meals are served in multiple dining areas, which also have that direct hot spring hotel vibe (laughs). I thought the quality of the food would be just okay, but it was surprisingly delicious. The sashimi, in particular, was so tasty that I couldn't believe they could serve such quality in the mountains. The steamed dish was also delicious, of a high standard you would expect from a high-end restaurant. The prices are not too high even in peak season, making it a mid-range accommodation, and the food quality was almost perfect. However, the cheap-looking plates kind of ruined the experience. Also, the Wi-Fi in the hotel doesn't work in the rooms, and the cell phone reception is poor, so it felt like a digital detox trip. Overall, I won't be visiting again, but I did feel that it's a ryokan with many good points. ◎ Dinner menu: - Aperitif (Honey Plum Wine) - Appetizer (Sesame Tofu) - Assorted Sashimi - Steamed Dish - Sea Bream Shabu - Edamame Manju Miso Sauce - Kameoka Beef Demi-Glace Stew - Wagyu Sukiyaki - Chawanmushi - Fried Corn Crackers - Rice, Soup, Pickles - Dessert

Dinner -> 3.1 The taste of the chawanmushi was very light, which was a bit disappointing, but overall it was average! The quality of the meat in the sukiyaki was good, but there was no egg in the sukiyaki... Breakfast -> 2.8 Breakfast buffet. There were a decent number of items, but for a ryokan of this class, I would have liked to see more elaborate dishes. Local ingredients dishes or dishes with a special touch would be nice. Also, please have raw eggs and corn soup available. Thank you for your hospitality!

Today, a cold wave has hit Kameoka, and a heavy snow warning has been issued. I decided to end my sightseeing early and head to my accommodation, where I arrived just in time for a fierce blizzard. From the window of my room, I can see the beautiful white snowstorm in the forest of Kitayama cedar trees. On such a chilling day, nothing beats a hot spring bath. Yunohana Onsen is a radium hot spring with a legend that an ogre was sealed with the spiritual power of a stone called Sakuraseki, and the tears of that ogre created this gentle hot spring. Amidst the swirling snow and steam, the surreal scenery warms both my body and soul, making me feel cozy. After bathing, it's time for dinner. The restaurant here, "Hanakaren," has been selected for the "Top 100 Hotels and Ryokans" in the food category for six consecutive years, raising my expectations for dinner. I am seated at a table and start with a toast of plum wine. The appetizer consists of konjac sashimi-style, simmered fish with shrimp, and the hassun includes amberjack sashimi with squid eggs. The konjac has a good texture, a well-balanced flavor with vinegar miso, and a hint of sweetness, making it delicious. The steamed dish is rice dumplings with raw gluten, and the grilled dish includes eggplant, pumpkin, asparagus, onions, turnips, bean sprouts, and beef with ponzu sauce. The tempura is a crispy assortment of shrimp, eggplant, pumpkin, and shishito pepper. By the time the tea soba arrives, I am already quite full, but manage to enjoy it. Following that is chawanmushi and finally, a steamed dish served in a teapot, with delicious vegetables inside. The meal concludes with bamboo shoot rice and a dessert of shiratama sweet beans, a Kyoto-style dessert. The portions were generous, and I am fully satisfied. I also had a tasting of different types of sake to accompany the meal, from the local sake Otokozuru from Oishi Sake Brewery in Kameoka to a junmai daiginjo, and various other delicious options.

I visited "Keizankaku" in Kameoka for a day trip to soak in the hot springs. Of course, they provided a pick-up bus from the train station. Everything was taken care of. And on top of that, I enjoyed a Matsutake mushroom kaiseki meal for around 8000 yen. Sure, I know that domestically grown Matsutake mushrooms are delicious, but at this price, I would have been satisfied with anything! The dobin mushi was especially fragrant. I highly recommend this place. Relax and refresh yourself in the good hot springs!

We stayed overnight and booked private dining for breakfast and dinner because we had a baby with us. They provided a separate private room for us. They served the meals wearing face shields and masks as a COVID-19 precaution. The food was delicious. They served it at a good pace without much waiting. The black wagyu steak with onion sauce was especially tasty.
