About Toryukan
Along the scenic Okawa Valley in Aizu’s historic Yunokami Onsen, which has been cherished as a healing hot spring resort since the Edo period, lies Tōryūkan — a hidden retreat with only twelve guest rooms. Each room is designed as an independent unit, much like a private villa, and features its own kakenagashi (free-flowing) hot spring bath, allowing guests to soak in the onsen at any time in complete privacy.
Kaiseki Cuisine with Depth
Guests are served kaiseki meals that showcase seasonal ingredients from across Japan, allowing them to enjoy the artistry of each dish with all five senses.
Dinner
“While using ingredients from Aizu, I hope to create depth in our cuisine by offering genuine Japanese dishes.”
Dinner at Toryukan features a kaiseki course that highlights the seasonal flavors of Aizu, using only the freshest ingredients sourced from the local Minamiaizu region. One of the inn’s delights is the carefully curated selection of local sake, chosen by a certified kikizakeshi (sake sommelier) to perfectly complement each dish. Guests can enjoy renowned Fukushima brews such as Hiroki, Daishichi, Sharaku, Tenmei, and Aizu Musume, among others. Personalized sake pairings are also available, allowing visitors to fully savor the harmony between the region’s food and sake culture.
Dinner
Luxurious Shabu-Shabu with A5-Ranked Fukushima Beef
The meat is briefly dipped in a flavorful broth for just 10–15 seconds, achieving a perfect cook that allows the fat to melt delicately in the mouth.
Hot Spring
The hot springs at Toryukan draw directly from the Yunokami Onsen source, long cherished as a “beautifying spring”said to leave the skin silky smooth. The water is a mild alkaline simple spring (pH 8.2), gentle on the skin and known for its beauty-enhancing and fatigue-relieving properties.
Hot Spring
Women’s Large Bath “Oborozuki”
The women’s bath Oborozuki features an open-air section where guests can soak while enjoying the breeze of the valley and a star-filled sky.
Room
The inn features only 12 guest rooms, each a tranquil Japanese-style room designed with simplicity and harmony in mind. Tatami flooring, sliding shoji screens, and lattice doors create a warm, natural ambiance. The soft glow of light filtering through shoji paper screens, combined with carefully selected furnishings, brings a deep sense of calm and serenity.
One of Toryukan’s greatest luxuries is that every room comes with its own private 100% natural hot spring bath, directly fed from the source (kakenagashi). This makes it ideal for guests who prefer privacy or wish to enjoy the onsen at their own pace without sharing a public bath.
Special Room “Ryutsuki”
Room Features
Featuring 12- and 10-tatami mat rooms, this suite is ideal for families. Guests can enjoy a private open-air bath and indoor bath with views of the Ōkawa Gorge stream.
