Would stay again

Both the variety and quality of the breakfast and dinner menus were great. Bathing suit onsen area was different (i'm not sure i'm a fan of the different colours of water) but really enjoyed the traditional onsen at Yunesun. Many outdoor areas meant that none were crowded. The water temp did feel a littl bit cool compared to the private onsen at the hotel. Beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting. Unfortunately is was raining during our stay. It would have been nice to have a shuttle from the hotel to Yunesun to avoid walking in the rain as it is a rather steep walk.
