Take a bath in the “beauty bath” and get smooth skin! ``Shikanoyu Hotel'' where you can satisfy your soul with our proud baths and delicious food

■ “Shikanoyu Hotel” is an attractive space that combines tradition and modernity.

Yunoyama Onsen is also known as ``Deer Bath'' because of the legend that a deer healed its wounds long ago.
In 2018, the hot springs celebrated their 1300th anniversary, and various commemorative events were held, making them once again in the spotlight as a historic hot spring resort.
The quality of the spring water has a beautifying effect on the skin, and it is also known as the ``beauty bath'', making it a hot spring area recommended for women.

Among them, the one that has the best baths and where you can enjoy delicious food is the Shika-no-Yu Hotel.
From the outside, it resembles a historical inn. Let's take a look right away.

When you enter the hotel, you will find a completely modern atmosphere. Its calm appearance will relieve you from the fatigue of your journey.

The lobby lets in sunlight from the large windows.
It is a space that subtly creates a sense of comfort.

■ Spend a quality time in the limited 3 “Comfort Modern” rooms

All guest rooms offer views of the beautiful mountains and valleys of the Suzuka Mountain Range.
Among them, the ``Comfort Modern'', which is limited to 3 rooms, has a wonderful finish that everyone would admire.

One of them, ``Makomono,'' is a room whose walls are painted with ``Makomo'' (a plant from the grass family), a specialty of the local KomonoTown.
It is said to have air purifying and relaxing effects. It's great to be able to stay in a room unique to this area!

``Watatsuki,'' which was created with the image of the moon crossing the sky, is also ``comfort modern.''
The Japanese-style room is connected to the bedroom, and the large bed will make you excited. The view from the wide windows is also great!

Another popular option is the room with a hot spring semi-open-air bath.
The indoor cypress bath allows you to take a breather while being surrounded by the warmth and scent of wood.

At night, you can see the night view of the townscape in the Suzuka area on the other side of the Suzuka Mountain Range! I felt like I had the beautiful night view all to myself.

■ Enjoy the “beauty bath” in a variety of baths!

Finally, it's time to head to the hot springs you've been waiting for. First, the large bath.
The hot water is a colorless and transparent alkaline radium spring. It contains a lot of ``emanathion'', which is said to activate cells and promote blood circulation, and is said to be effective against rheumatoid arthritis, eczema, and women's diseases.
It will warm you from the core of your body and make your skin smooth.

The open-air bath allows you to spend a relaxing time while feeling the breath of nature right next to you.
Refresh your mind and body in a space full of openness.

■ A “modern Japanese” restaurant that complements the cuisine

Another feature of the Shika-no-Yu Hotel is that it has a stylish restaurant where you can enjoy cooking.
The entrance wall of ``Dining Makoto'' is integrated with Makoto, giving it the elegance of a long-established restaurant.

Each room in the restaurant is illuminated with subdued lighting, so you can enjoy your meal slowly. Chic and adult atmosphere.

There are also private Japanese-style rooms, so it's safe to bring your children with you.

Midokoro Tabika, which opened in 2015, serves Kaiseki cuisine using local ingredients.
It can also be used as a banquet hall that can accommodate up to 60 people.

■ “Healthy gourmet food” using plenty of local ingredients

The concept of ``Kyoto-style Kaiseki Cuisine'' is ``healthy gourmet food,'' and the menu uses locally sourced ingredients, making it extremely healthy. There are also ``Matsuzaka beef shabu-shabu,'' which even men can enjoy, and are popular with men and women of all ages.
*The contents of the monthly kaiseki meal vary depending on the season.

In addition, our ``bespoke dishes'' with a wide variety of options are also popular.
The menu unique to this hotel is ``Tataki Venison'' (1,200 yen/excluding tax). It has no odor and is perfect as an accompaniment to alcohol.
Eating venison at the Shika-no-Yu Hotel is quite a classy experience.

Another recommended item! ``Makomo noodles'' (600 yen/excluding tax) are made with makomo.
It has a chewy texture, a subtle sweetness, and is delicious!

A popular item to enjoy with your meal is the fruit wine made by the proprietress.
There are many varieties, from strawberries and grapefruit to coffee, and many fans say that they can ``enjoy the original taste of the ingredients.''
