Taiyokan is an inn that receives overall ratings of 4.4 stars, located in Yujuku Onsen, whose hot spring is said to have first gushed forth over 1,200 years ago. The inn was founded in the early Meiji era as a place where travellers on the ancient highway of Mikuni Kaido could rest their weary bodies in the flowing waters of the natural hot spring. The private cypress open-air baths, which are the only ones in Yujuku, are exclusively for the use of guests.
