Yuyado Nishikiya

Nishikiya is a minshuku (民宿, family-run guesthouse) in Yunokami onsen, Fukushima. It has two baths, one of hinoki (cypress) and one of rock, and guests say both are used as private baths. The water runs on the hot side. The hinoki bath is the roomier of the two and smells of wood. The Japanese-Western room also has its own hinoki bath, and the special room has a bath of its own. The building is about a hundred years old, renovated inside, with the old beams still showing. Reviewers mostly talk about the local home cooking, the sake tasting set, and small touches like hot-water bottles in the futon on cold nights. There is free parking across the road, and the inn also lists day-use bathing (higaeri nyuyoku, 日帰り入浴).
