Encapsulating the essence of traditional Japanese inns, this ryokan has weaved ‘Yuen’ meaning ‘origins’ into its name – and it embodies the spirit of ‘omotenashi’, the Japanese culture of hospitality.
Renowned for its minimalist beauty, the hotel's austere and simple design creates a calm and quiet space that welcomes all five senses across all four seasons, and guests are encouraged to come in, relax and rejuvenate in the natural hot spring waters of its stunning open-air bathhouse, which adds an extra touch of luxury to your stay.
While it is located in the heart of Tokyo, this contemporary hotel is a mere 13-minute walk from the serene Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, just 15 minutes on foot from Seibu-Shinjuku train station, within easy reach of major attractions such as the Tokyo Imperial Palace and Tokyo Dome, and not far from the vibrant shopping and dining scene along Takeshita Street – so while it offers a tranquil escape from the bustling city life, it’s still very conveniently situated.
Providing the perfect blend of traditional Japanese hospitality and modern amenities, the Onsen Ryokan Yuen Shinjuku, the hotel's 193 guest rooms are designed with comfort in mind, featuring refrigerators, flat-screen televisions, complimentary wireless internet access, and private bathrooms equipped with bidets and hair dryers. For added convenience, upgraded rooms offer additional sitting areas and can accommodate up to four guests – and the hotel's minimalist restaurant, Kaka-Tojo, serves delicious meals cooked on a hot plate or in tempura style, overlooking a beautiful Zen inner courtyard.
Guests can also enjoy various amenities, including a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, laundry facilities, and a vending machine.
Located in the Shinjuku Ward district, the hotel is also close to notable landmarks such as Saikoan Shrine, Jisho-in Temple, and Full Gospel Tokyo Church, making it an ideal destination for couples and travellers seeking a serene yet centrally located retreat.
