Yasugien is a historic hot spring inn nestled in Yasugi City, Shimane Prefecture. Since its founding in 1971, it has welcomed many travelers with its retro charm and warm hospitality. Its proximity to the Adachi Museum of Art is one reason it's popular among those seeking culture and relaxation.
The main attraction of Yasugien is undoubtedly its naturally continuous flow of hot spring water. The large bath offers a hot soak, but the recommended option is the private open-air bath. Enjoy a private bathing experience in a luxurious space with both indoor and open-air baths. Bathing under the starry sky is truly blissful.
The meals, made with local ingredients and gentle flavors, are highly praised. Dishes presented in 'Hyottoko' bowls are also a feast for the eyes. Additionally, the heartfelt service provided by the staff, led by the proprietress, receives high acclaim from many guests.
The inn is conveniently located near the world-renowned Adachi Museum of Art, where you can enjoy Japanese gardens and art. You can also admire a beautiful sunset from the Gassan Toda Castle ruins, just a five-minute walk away.
Though the rooms and amenities are somewhat old-fashioned, they are well-maintained, allowing guests to enjoy a retro atmosphere. There's also the chance to enjoy snowy landscapes in winter. The inn is suitable for stargazing, though this depends on weather conditions.
