MountainsAbout
Yama no Hotel Musouen sits on a hillside above the Yufuin basin, its open-air baths looking out over Mt. Yufudake. The ryokan traces its roots to 1938, when it opened as a lodging built around the Gomusoyu (御夢想温泉) spring. The baths are the main draw: the large women's rotenburo is famous for its wide-open views across the valley, while the men's Kobo-no-yu (弘法の湯) is the oldest bath on the property, housed in a thatched-roof building alongside a stone said to be connected to the spring's origins. Private family baths are available on a walk-in basis, and some rooms in the newer wing come with their own outdoor onsen bath. Day-use bathing is also available in the mornings.
