The hotel had a private bath for the fourth time, and we used it as we had a room meal at night. Normally, I would get tired of crab after eating three servings, so this time I had a course with two servings of crab and meat, which was delicious. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the hot pot and porridge! The crab was just the right amount, and it was a satisfying meal. The sherbet at the end was as delicious as always. For breakfast, there was freshly made rolled omelette and hot rice, which was delightful. There were many side dishes, making the rice go down easily. I had the option to choose between crab soup and pork miso soup, and I chose the pork miso soup. Thank you for the delicious meal.

The day before, I had a delicious meal and the staff were very friendly, so I woke up in a good mood and looked forward to breakfast! When I arrived, there was a big pot on the table, and the rice was Tamba rice Koshihikari ☆ We had 3 cups for 2 people! So generous♪ For breakfast, we had: freshly cooked rice, a choice of miso soup (clam miso soup and pork miso soup), side dishes (vegetable dishes, homemade steamed tofu, etc.), rolled omelette, local dried flounder, beef and burdock stew, and raw egg for topping on rice. The staff were attentive and made it easy to get seconds. It was a great inn after a long time☆ Thank you for the meal!

It was a long-awaited extended holiday without any restrictions♪ Due to the uncertainty of my work schedule until the last minute, all the accommodations were fully booked ( ¯−︎¯ ) The only place I could get was here♪ The room came with a private outdoor bath, but meals were served in the dining area on the same floor, not in the room. Dinner times were available at 5:30, 6:00, and 6:30, and we chose the earliest at 5:30 (^^) First, cheers!〜Seasonal seafood extravaganza colorful banquet〜●Appetizer: Mugwort tofu●Sashimi: Assorted sashimi●Palate cleanser: Seared sushi●Simmered dish: Seasonal simmered delicacies●Hot pot: Colorful premium hot pot●Main dish: Black Wagyu steak●Deep-fried dish: Tempura shrimp●Steamed dish: Chawanmushi●Rice dish: Shirasu rice●Soup: Red miso soup●Pickles: Two kinds●Dessert: SherbetThe waitress kindly explained each dish. During the explanation, there was an apology for a slight mishap before the meal, which surprised me! It wasn't something they needed to apologize for, but I was impressed by the fact that they took the time to apologize, showing that they have good coordination here☆ The waitstaff were mostly elderly, but they all worked hard to provide excellent service, making me think this is a good inn (´∀｀*) They also served the dishes promptly, without any waiting time, which was great♪ I have never really found the food at most hot spring inns to be delicious, but here, while not flashy, they skillfully used local ingredients and it was tasty o(^o^)o Thank you for the feast!

First of all, the location is amazing with a beautiful sunset. I visited to eat crab. Since I have children and they couldn't peel and eat the crab themselves, Nakai-san kindly peeled a whole crab for us beautifully and without wasting any meat! We will definitely come back next year!

This was my first visit to Yuhigaura Onsen from Amanohashidate, a relatively small hot spring town. It seems popular for swimming in the summer and crab in the winter, but we visited during neither season. The place was bustling with activity due to the GO TO campaign. The hotel is divided into a North Wing and a South Wing, with the former offering room service and the latter serving meals. We stayed in the South Wing and had a very kind attendant who allowed us to dine at our own pace in a private room. She was considerate of our different eating speeds and even turned the remaining rice into onigiri for me when I couldn't finish it all. It was a small gesture, but it made me very happy. Breakfast was served in the North Wing, with individual tables having freshly cooked rice in a pot and a variety of delicious side dishes. It was a delightful breakfast experience, and it made me want to visit Yuhigaura Onsen again in the future!

There are plenty of crabs.

We stayed with our family in February, but the food was not delicious and disappointing. The room was also small, and we will not go there again.

Yuhigaura Onsen is a great hot spring with a beautiful sea view, selected as one of the top 100 sunset spots. While the winter season offers delicious crab dishes, my family often visits during the affordable beach season. The beach is just a short walk away, making it convenient for family trips. The dinner, mainly seafood served in the room, is decent for the price, but the breakfast with freshly cooked dishes like rolled omelette is outstanding. As it is part of the Kayamatsu Group, you can collect points and use them at affiliated shops and ryokans to save money on your travels.

Our annual crab trip at home. This year, we decided to go a little earlier, in November. We wanted to stay at the same inn as last year because it was so great, but unfortunately, there was no availability, so we came here for the first time. The inn itself is not very new, but it has a nice atmosphere and is clean. The room is spacious and decent. The hot spring is not very big, but it's not bad either. Now, the most important part, the crab feast! Oh, it was the best! Probably the best we've had so far. Crab sashimi, boiled crab, grilled crab, crab miso soup, crab tempura, and even a boat platter, it was all so exciting and delicious. The breakfast was also amazing with dried flounder and delicious rice. I had three helpings of rice. I definitely want to come back. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

When it comes to crab, do you think of Yuhi-ga-ura? I often see it in day trip bus advertisements, so I went there. It was a slightly delayed birthday present for my mother. The best part was that the bus ride was so easy - I didn't have to drive. It didn't matter if it was cramped or if I was sleepy - I didn't have to worry about anything. I could just sleep and arrive, it was great! The cost of the bus tour, including the bus fare, was about 10,000 yen per person, and we paid an additional 2,000 yen for steak and a private room. We took breaks and had to take the back roads due to heavy snow, so it took about five hours to arrive. We enjoyed a luxurious meal in a private room - crab sashimi, crab hot pot, steak, grilled crab, steamed crab, everything was set up. The staff busily lit fires for the grilled crab and steak. Everything was ready, and I asked for a photo - sorry for bothering you, but I took one quickly. Then, they asked if I wanted a drink, so I decided to treat myself with a highball to lift my spirits. The bill was 750 yen - a bit pricey for what seemed like a small glass of water with shochu and carbonated water to make it a highball. Oh well, it's fine. The crab sashimi was delicious, but I couldn't chat for long - the crab and meat were burning! The hot pot needed more heat! Hurry up and eat! Light the fire for the hot pot... eat, eat... and now they brought chawanmushi. Just a little more, please, lady! And rice, too! The timing is perfect for bringing the rice! My inner thoughts are slipping out! And then, they brought the rice - I'm still busy! The zosui is hot, and I need to eat the ice cream! Busy until the end! The crab was delicious, but it was a hectic crab full course. I wish I could have enjoyed it more leisurely.

The main attraction of the Kyoto trip is the crab! The sunset is famous for being beautiful, but unfortunately, I couldn't see any clouds. However, I quickly shifted my focus to enjoying all the crab dishes - sashimi, grilled, steamed, shabu-shabu, hot pot, and crab porridge! The amount of food was overwhelming, with a variety of dishes like yellowtail and tuna sashimi. The highlight was eating live shrimp sashimi, which kept jumping around trying to escape! Overall, everything was delicious, especially the crab sashimi which was sweet and flavorful. However, peeling the crab was a challenge due to the large quantity. In the end, we all pitched in to peel the crab and made a delicious crab porridge. I don't think I'll need crab for a while after this (laughs). For breakfast, it was a simple meal with rice and side dishes. I was surprised by my eldest daughter (6 years old) who had 4 helpings of rice! I think this place is perfect for families to relax in the hot springs and enjoy crab dishes. I recommend booking a room with a bath, as the in-room bath is not a hot spring.

I decided to go on a solo trip to an unfamiliar place in Kyoto because I wanted to explore somewhere new. Coming from Kyushu, I didn't realize that Kyoto faces the Sea of Japan, so I decided to travel along the Japan Sea side. After comparing various ryokans' websites, I chose to stay at this one because it seemed to be the best option with a solo traveler plan. The ryokan is located facing the Sea of Japan, offering a beautiful view of the horizon at all times. The name of the hot spring, Yuhigaura, comes from the beauty of the sunset on the horizon. Unfortunately, I arrived too late for check-in to see the sunset, but the beauty of the horizon in the morning during my walk around the ryokan was refreshing. For dinner, I enjoyed a kaiseki course starting with appetizers, followed by steamed dishes, crab gratin, sashimi, and yellowtail shabu-shabu served in my room. The steamed dish included matsutake mushrooms and conger eel, which were delicious. I also had rice and udon noodles to finish the meal. I was also able to try a variety of local sake. The ryokan had a nice and clean bath, providing a relaxing atmosphere. My first trip to the Tango Peninsula was a memorable experience.

Looking for accommodation related to work. Found it at a travel agency. It's a small inn with no room service or private bath, but it includes one night with two meals for about 10,000 yen. It's not bad. I wanted to soak in the hot springs while watching the sunset and this area is known for crab in the winter, so it's a good opportunity to check it out. However, on this day, due to a delay with my companion, we didn't arrive at the inn in time for the sunset. Anyway, I enjoyed the hot springs and dinner. Since it's summer, the main dishes were local fish from the Japan Sea. Surprisingly, the fish caught here are similar to those in northern regions like Hokuriku and Tohoku. Hat-hat and sweet shrimp are typical examples. Therefore, dried hat-hat and raw sweet shrimp were served. Boiled snow crab legs were also served, but the hat-hat and sweet shrimp were the highlights. There was an abundance of seafood from the Japan Sea in the Tango Peninsula in Kyoto. Ah, I want to come back in the winter to eat crab! Next time, I will definitely watch the sunset.
