Property overview
Overview
Yumotokan's standard day-use option combines a kaiseki lunch with hot-spring bathing in a 12:00–3:00 p.m. visit. It works best when the meal and ryokan setting are part of the plan; it is an expensive choice for a quick soak alone.

Bathing indications
Yumotokan and the Ogoto Onsen Tourism Association describe the water as an alkaline simple hot spring with pH 9.0. This is for identifying the spring, not a promise of medical or skin benefits.
The tourism association publishes temperature and yield figures for the wider Ogoto area, not Yumotokan's own source. They are not used here as property-specific measurements.
