Obama Onsen Ryokan Yunoka

The room, with its own private onsen bath, big enough for two, was fantastic. You get a fantastic view of the sea and the perfect sunset. It was clean and roomy with the biggest TV screen I have ever seen in a hotel. Though the price was not cheap, it felt worth it. The private rooftop onsen, though small was really nice, too. The Japanese breakfast served was also tasty and worth getting. Regarding the location, if you are travelling, unless you have a car, you’re not likely to be able to get here. It is very far from the airport and from Nagasaki city (train, ship), but within the small town of Obama, the location is perfect, with a great view, and a convenience store and restaurants nearby. The only downside ( hence 4 stars for facilities not 5) is that whilst they took great care in renovating this hotel, it seems they forgot to touch the public onsens they have. It was a little surreal and disappointing, going from the new, clean surroundings to a worn out looking old bath with cracked tiles and built up rust. I would have thought that being an onsen facility, they would start their renovations there. Anyway, if you are staying there, I guess you don’t really need to use that facility. All in all, a pleasant, memorable stay.
