Ryuzu no Taki Riverside Kei
A hot spring inn known for its private baths and river-view guest rooms, offering a relaxing stay surrounded by abundant nature.
Just a three-minute walk from Ryuzu Waterfall-a scenic spot famous for its unique twin cascades divided by a massive boulder and its brilliant autumn foliage-stands Ryuzu no Taki Riverside Kei, an intimate hot spring inn with only four groups of guests accepted per day. Every room overlooks the Yukawa River, allowing visitors to fully enjoy the natural setting.
The baths feature alkaline sulfur hot spring water sourced directly from Oku-Nikko Yumoto Onsen, with an impressive flow of about 1,000 liters per hour. All three baths are private-use only (no gender separation), available 24 hours a day for each guest room. Guests can enjoy two indoor baths with large windows framing lush greenery or autumn leaves, as well as a rustic open-air rock bath with a distinctive dome-shaped structure.
Accommodations include semi-suite Japanese-Western style rooms with private baths, accommodating up to four people. Dinner is a shabu-shabu kaiseki, where guests can choose between Tochigi Wagyu beef or Nikko pork, with the option to upgrade to A5-rank Tochigi Wagyu sirloin for an even more luxurious experience.
