Yatomi Hotel Nuqu Natural Hot Spring

We loved this hotel. Things to keep in mind: no one speaks English and their entire room service is only in Japanese. The location is in the middle of nowhere, and it’s a little bit of a walk to a bus station, so we personally used uber. But the amenities made it worth it. Our private onsen was stunning. It was spacious, relaxing and so nice after traveling all day. The food was delicious as well! Normally you’d think hotel room service will be subpar but their menu is huge! And they delivered breakfast to our door every morning which is a nice treat before adventures. I personally would only get a suite room here for the extreme value and experience. It’s spacious and clean. The beds are extremely firm, though, so beware if that’s not your preference. All in all, we will stay here again. As long as you’re okay with Ubers and being away from a lot of big locations (Legoland, etc).

The hotel itself was pretty amazing (once you find the entrance), with massive clean rooms and good food, with hot spring water directly in the rooms. The thing to understand is that it is in the middle of nowhere (industrial area), with no restaurants around it. It is also a 15-20 min walk from the station and then 20 mins to Nagoya. Or alternatively a taxi for about 9,000-11,000 Yen. Best way is a taxi (GO app) to the station, then train to Nagoya for relative ease and not too expensive. Also, if there is an English version of the TV-Screen ordering system for room service, we couldn’t find it. Quite extensive menu though and we worked it out mainly by picture but hard if you are picky as you don’t quite know what’s coming sometimes. That said, the food was much better than expected. We used it as a base for the family (2 kids, 11 & 8), going to Legoland and Ghibli Park and a daytrip to Kyoto. As the room was absolutely huge it gave a great respite from days of walking and for the price it was incredible. Add the taxis and less so but in the end we were pretty blown away with the value for money.

Japanese breakfast was great, hot springs was relaxing!

Very nice washroom and outdoor hotspring

Decent but a bit pricey for a far out hotel . Great service and breakfast
