Fodor's Expert Review Uotoshi Ryokan

This small ryokan in the steamy village of Yudanaka has a hinoki (cypress) bathtub that's continually fed by the hot springs. The rooms are rustic and cozy and come with either a Western or Japanese breakfast. You can try Japanese archery (kyudo) if the owner has free time. Dinners feature delicious mountain vegetables and local seafood. It's a seven-minute walk from Yudanaka Station, across the Yomase River and on the left.
