Every recommendation should have a clear basis.

How facility details are checked

We prioritise official ryokan, bathhouse and tourism pages. Guest-room open-air baths, semi-open-air baths, indoor baths and reservable private baths are recorded separately. A feature appears as confirmed only when the relevant property or room information supports it.

Details that change—prices, timetables, closures, booking terms and tattoo rules—are dated where practical and should be checked again with the facility before travel.

Recommendations are not stay reviews

Editorial choices are based on published details and stated trip needs. We do not imply that an editor has stayed at every property, and we do not invent star ratings, review counts or first-hand impressions.

Prices and bookings

This site does not check live room inventory, take payment or complete a reservation. A Stay22 Roam link lets you check booking options; it does not confirm that a room or rate is available.

Affiliate links

Some property pages include one Stay22 Roam booking link when a verified property match is available. YUBIYORI may earn a commission if you book through it, at no extra cost to you. The link does not affect a facility’s scores or editorial conclusion.

Images and accessible claims

Photos are matched to the property, branch, room or area they actually depict. A destination landscape is not evidence of a guest-room view; an older meal photo is not a promise of the current menu. See photo credits and usage notes.
