Hotel • Yugawara
Welfare resort hotel
New Welcity Yugawara sits at the upper end of the Chitose River valley, technically in Atami City, despite using the Yugawara Station address for navigation. It is a private welfare resort contracted under Meguro Ward, which means Tokyo municipal employees and residents can access preferential rates by phoning directly. The general public books at standard hotel rates through Jalan, Rakuten, and major platforms.
The facilities are the draw. The outdoor pool holds claim to Yugawara's largest hot-spring bath, a vast open-air expanse where you can stretch out and disappear. A quieter source-fed stone bath, Izumi no Yu, delivers a purer mineral character. Sauna, indoor baths, and guest-exclusive early-morning windows round out the bathing programme. Dinner is kaiseki-style with Sagami Bay seafood; breakfast is buffet-format. Rooms run from singles and Western twins through Japanese tatami rooms to four Japanese-Western rooms suited to families.
Reviews consistently note the absence of noisy groups, the calm clientele that a welfare-facility property tends to produce. At ¥13,000-16,000 per person including two meals, it competes favorably against any ryokan in Yugawara for value relative to scale of facilities.

Where our sources disagree
Data notes
These are points where the platforms and official pages we consulted gave us conflicting information.
- Total room count: Exact inventory not published. 4 Japanese-Western rooms and 6 twin rooms confirmed; Japanese and single room totals unclear.
- Large outdoor pool - flow type: The stone Izumi no Yu bath is confirmed source-fed. The main large outdoor pool's flow type was not confirmed across independent sources; treat it as recirculated until verified on-site.
- Administrative location: Address is Atami City, Shizuoka. Purely administrative; the facility markets as a Yugawara property and operates a Yugawara Station shuttle. Does not affect booking eligibility.
