Tae-no-yu

This small ryokan is the most modern in Nyūtō Onsen. The stylish lodging combines urbane sensibility with a forest setting; think a Parisian apartment with tatami floors. Exquisite locavore meals incorporate wild plants foraged from the grounds. Bathing options are comprehensive, including private family onsen, reclining cypress tubs and a heavenly rotemburo. Single travellers are welcomed.
