Services & Facilities
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.
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.

The ryokan’s hidden charm lies in the collaboration between carefully selected sake by a certified sake master and exceptional Japanese cuisine that naturally encourages guests to savor each sip.
Check-in begins at 3:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM, providing guests with a leisurely and unhurried stay.
Surrounded by the beauty of each season, guests can enjoy moments that reflect the ryokan’s concept of “a haven of flowers, birds, elegance, and seasonal scenery.”
The inn continues to offer refined hospitality while preserving traditional practices, ensuring a comfortable and memorable experience.
Founded in 1890 (Meiji 23), the ryokan began when the first-generation owner drew hot spring water from the banks of the Aga River using a waterwheel. Today, it celebrates over 100 years of history as a traditional inn.
“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.
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.
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.
