Yumori Tanakaya – A Heritage Ryokan Embraced by Nature Since 1884
Tucked away in the pristine mountains of Nasu-Shiobara, within the specially protected zone of Nikko National Park, Yumori Tanakaya has welcomed guests with warm hospitality and timeless tradition since its founding in 1884. For over a century, we have preserved the spirit of Japanese ryokan culture while embracing the healing power of nature.
At the heart of Yumori Tanakaya lies our privately owned natural hot spring source, delivering an abundance of mineral-rich water directly to our baths. Our most iconic feature is the open-air riverside rotenburo, where guests can soak in the steaming, restorative waters while listening to the gentle sounds of a clear mountain stream. The view changes with the seasons — cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, fiery foliage in autumn, and serene snow in winter — making every visit uniquely memorable.
In the evening, guests are invited to gather around the traditional irori hearth for our signature robata-style dinner. This rustic, charcoal-grilled cuisine highlights the flavors of the region: fresh river fish, locally grown vegetables, and seasonal specialties, all carefully prepared to bring out their natural goodness. The irori experience is not only a meal but a moment of connection — with tradition, with nature, and with those around you.
Yumori Tanakaya is more than just a place to stay — it is a retreat into a slower, more meaningful rhythm of life. Whether you seek peaceful solitude, cultural immersion, or simply the joy of being surrounded by nature’s beauty, we invite you to discover the magic of Japan’s mountain hospitality. Let time slow down, and let your soul be renewed in the gentle embrace of Yumori Tanakaya.
