| Kifuno-sato is a Ryokan, or a Japanese traditional inn, located in the Yunogo Onsen hot springs resort area in the Okayama prefecture of Japan. The Okayama prefecture is known as the birthplace of Miyamoto Musashi, a famous Samurai (swordsman) and Yunogo, a small, rustic town surrounded by majestic mountains. The Kifuno-sato Ryokan was built in harmony with the scenic nature of the area and maintains the warm atmosphere of the Yunogo Onsen town. The pace of the town has not changed much since earlier days and provides a sense of past traditional Japanese lifestyle. The architecture of Kifuno-sato is beautifully designed in an elegant traditional Japanese Inn style. Once you enter our Ryokan you will marvel at the detail of tatami mats laid out on all the floor in all directions. Your first experience will be walking on these tatami mats in your stocking feet and prepares you for a full Japanese Ryokan experience. After staying at Kifuno-sato you might feel that this Ryokan experience was one of your most unforgettable experiences of your travel in Japan. We hope you will explore our rich culture of relaxation and charm of a traditional Japanese resort experience at Kifuno Sato Ryokan. Click here to see details of our rooms |

At
Yunogo Onsen town, we provide an unique voucher service called Yumeguri Coaster (Onsen
Tour). If you buy a Yumeguri coaster (a value of 900 Yen or about $10 US) at the Ryokan
you are staying at, you can then visit from 3 of 13 Hot Springs facilities in the
Yunogo Onsen Town, including the Sagiyu Onsen Place. You can use the coaster as an admission ticket at the 3 Onsen facilities, a good value and money savings for you! The coaster can act as a souvenir from our Ryokan too.

Kifuno-sato is located in the Yunogo Onsen resort town in Japan, known as one of the three best Mimasaka Santo Onsen hot springs in the area. Although it is only seven minutes by car from the Mimasaka Intersection Express Way, Yunogo is still a quiet town hidden in the mountains where you can spend your time in complete relaxation, forgetting the busy, noisy city life.
