Experience of the stay
"ONSEN RYOKAN Yuyuan Shinjuku" is a ryokan in Shinjuku, Tokyo, where you can experience tranquility and healing as if you've wandered into another world. When you immerse yourself in the authentic natural hot springs sourced from Hakone and Lake Ashi, you forget the city's noise and unwind both mind and body. The sophisticated Japanese design is pleasing, and from the guest rooms, you can enjoy the exquisite contrast between the skyscrapers and the blue sky. It's a place where you can spend special moments feeling like you're traveling while in the city.
Experiences during the trip
Step away from the bustling streets of Shinjuku and into the quiet sanctuary of "Yuyuan Shinjuku." Right after checking in, soaking in the natural hot spring at the top-floor public bath took my breath away, as the silhouettes of buildings were painted by the sunset, creating a scene reminiscent of a painting. In the evening, I indulged in seasonal dishes at the in-house Japanese restaurant. Despite being in the city, I experienced a sense of being on a journey, and I was truly refreshed during my stay. It became a special day that made me wish to stay longer on my next visit.
