“A contemporary ryokan inn set in a quiet residential neighbourhood. Compact but beautifully styled rooms feature minimalist pine furniture, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Japanese gardens & tatami mat floors. The modern Japanese restaurant is very good while the spa and onsens are a real lure.”

Yuen Bettei Daita

A modern take on a traditional hot spring ryokan inn is not a common find in 24-hour Tokyo – yet Yuen Bettei Daita is precisely that, a peaceful 35-room hotel with interiors fusing traditional architecture with modern design, plus tea room and spa, where life firmly revolves around its onsen baths.
