    We have prepared a one-night plan with breakfast (without dinner) for those who arrive late or who wish to have dinner elsewhere. Please come and visit us if you want to relax at the ryokan after work. ~Breakfast~ For breakfast, we offer Japanese set meals such as wheat porridge, Karatsu Kawashima colander tofu, and dried fish from the morning market. ===<Information about Yoyokaku>========================================= = ◆ Commitment to the room ◆ Yoyokaku has a total of 19 guest rooms on a site of 1,800 tsubo that retain the taste of the Meiji and Taisho eras while adding modern conveniences. Even though we have repeatedly renewed, we value the spirit of handing over and protecting while keeping the remnants of the Taisho period. Each room is decorated with heartfelt ikebana, collected from the mountains and fields. A bath that warms like a hot spring There are public baths for men and women. The tank contains "Makufan stone", and the hot water flows out through it, so it has a hot spring effect. The walls are made of Japanese cypress, the bathtub is made of black granite, and the floor is made of Fukumitsu stone. There is a handrail on the front side of the bathtub and a step inside the bathtub, so elderly people can use it with peace of mind. Nursing chairs are always available, so please feel free to use them.

    老舗の厳かな雰囲気がありながら、働いてらっしゃる方々はとても気さくで、でも手が行き届く細やかな接客で、それでいて押し付けがましくも無く、とても楽しく有意義に過ごすことができました。料理も絶品で、大満足です。

    2度目の利用でした。 変わらず落ち着く良いお宿です。 料理のクオリティは右に出る者がいないくらい最高です。 つらつら感想を書くより、先ずは行って食べてもらいたいです。 お料理を彩る器も美しく、美味しい食事とゆっくりした大人の休日を求める方はぜひオススメです。

    大変気持ちよく過ごせました。お庭、建物の隅々まで美しく、自分のような無粋に暮らしている人間でも深く心打たれるものがありました。 お料理もしみじみとおいしくいただきました。
