Glorious park full of bamboo, ginkgo, kaseki elms accompanied by bubbling river. There’s a footpath and places to eat and drink and - randomly - free WiFi through. Hence the review! Very lovely

A great place to wander around - the waterfall and 'rapids' are pleasant, and there's an easy walk. There are seats at various points where people were relaxing, reading books or snoozing within sight and sound of the water. The signs warning of bears and wild boar were somewhat alarming, but I assume that spotting one of either is rare (there were many oeople wandering around without a care). The area is well-preserved, with a pleasant visitor area. Best of all, it's free to enter (via a tunnel from the carpark). Buses run in both directions from just outside. A very relaxing place.

Footspas were pretty good and the scenery walking through the park along the river is quite beautiful. Downside is the horrible plastic sandals you have to wear to use the spas, other than that the variety of spas with different tiles to stimulate, sooth or punish your feet in each of the seven separate baths was excruciatingly pleasant. 😬

Enjoyed the short riverwalk in the park. There was a lot of shade that proved helpful in tolerating the summer heat. Numerous small waterfalls along the river. Didn't see any monkeys or wild boars even though there were warning signs. Enjoyed some espresso, a sandwich, and juice at the park cafe. Food was better than average and reasonable in price. Would definitely come back.

Loved this park so so beautiful liked the terrain the green the water the light there’s a small coffee shop and a co working space which are beautiful too

Nice park, but pretty overrated. You can walk through it in about 10-15 minutes. The shrine inside is a bit rundown. Not a highly recommended tourist destination, but alright to stroll through if you’re in the area.

If u happen to be a tourist around Tokyo, and have time to kill, go book urself an onsen resort in Yugawara. U can get there via Tokaido Line. Once in Yugawara, by city bus, u can get around different places, including Yugawaramanyo park. Yugawaramanyo Park is filled with various sites to see. Natural life, forest, waterfall, etc... U might even get to see fireflies if come at the right season. There's is also a cute little Tanuki shrine (with a touching story if can read Japanese). Closeby is a foot onsen (300yen per person) if u like some relaxation too. Highly recommended if u like nature. Park is free to enter, but surround site may need to pay, such as foot onsen.

We enjoyed staying at this onsen for a couple hours. Our sense is that it is an onsen popular with Japanese families. Each side includes an indoor and an outdoor hot pool. The views, at least in summer, were not quite as pretty as the advertisements online would make them seem. But we still enjoyed the experience.

The staff were very friendly. The open air hot spring was at a good temperature, not too hot, and the water made my skin really smooth. The only thing I was disappointed in was the lack of a view of any sort from the hot spring, given the scenic surroundings of the location. But at ¥1000 and lots of places to relax after the bath, I'm very satisfied with my experience here.

Nice place on a hill

This is a Onsen, hotspring, operating by local government. It contains surfer and salt. There is nice resting place. One can relax for hours.

Week priced traditional Japanese Onsen. 50% discount after 7:00 PM.

Decent onsen, good resting place after a long hike.

Great place ... Just 500¥ after 7:00pm

An old Shinto shrine which is a 'powerspot' apparently. It's certainly very humbling with its three massive trees that are about 800 years old. One of which you pass under to enter the carpark. Inside they have statues of the 7 gods of fortune which are fun to find and pose with for pictures. (There is one across the road. Don't forget about him!) Up the top is the main shrine area, with a couple of cute shishios guarding the deity there. It's well shaded, has easy access and is a relaxing place to visit.

I stopped by on my way back from visiting Yugawara Onsen. The bus bound for Yugawara from the hot spring gets off at the Gosho Jinja-mae stop, and you will see the first torii (first shrine gate) in front of you. There are many old trees in the shrine grounds, including an 850-year-old camphor tree, and you can feel the power of the shrine. It is fun to look for the Seven Deities of Good Fortune. The shrine office is open from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm, and the red seals are available only for 600 yen per set. The shrine office is open from 10:00 to 15:00, but it seems to change depending on the season, so it would be better to check the website before visiting. It was about a 15-minute walk to Yugawara Station on the way back.

Visit the seven jolly gods and goddesses and pay respects to the gigantic millennian trees. You'll come away feeling positive for sure. There's wheelchair access if required.

The trees are around 850years of age and the environment is calm and peaceful, you can feel it's energy and power .

Very worth seeing, beautiful place and fantastic trees

Place to visit which will fill up your soul and heart!

Great experience

Excellent lunch experience in an authentic old Ryokan. Really good choice of dishes, we had unagi and taste was simply delicious. Well worth the visit!

Confusing and unwelcoming entrance policies. Would skip.

(Translated by Google) The other day, I finally made it to Hyorokutei, a restaurant I'd been wanting to try. The eel was truly exquisite, and I was blown away. The moment they opened the lid of the earthenware pot that was brought to me, the fragrant aroma that wafted through the air instantly stimulated my appetite. Inside, the plump rice and shiny eel were beautifully arranged, and the mere appearance alone made it a feast. With one bite, the outside was fragrant, while the inside was soft and juicy. The sauce wasn't too sweet, perfectly complementing the umami of the eel. The rice, cooked in the earthenware pot, had a nice graininess, and the combination with the eel's fat and sauce made it delicious down to the last bite. And the crunchy texture, enjoyed hitsumabushi-style, was also fantastic. I enjoyed it as is, then with condiments, and finally with dashi broth like ochazuke, fully enjoying the changing flavors. The balance between the crispy, fragrant exterior and the plump interior was exquisite, keeping me coming back for more. The restaurant had a calming atmosphere, and the attentive service made it very comfortable. It was a slightly luxurious meal, but the satisfaction was definitely worth the price. It was a flavor that I would recommend to eel lovers, as well as those who don't usually eat it. While eel is often associated with summer, this is a restaurant you'll want to visit no matter the season. I was impressed by the fluffy clay pot rice, the fragrant hitsumabushi, and each and every dish, each one packed with meticulous preparation. I'll definitely be back. (Original) 先日、念願の「瓢六亭」へ行ってきました。評判通り、うなぎが本当に絶品で感動しました。まず運ばれてきた土鍋の蓋を開けた瞬間、ふわっと広がる香ばしい香りに食欲が一気に刺激されます。中にはふっくらとしたご飯と、照りのあるうなぎが美しく並び、その見た目だけでご馳走感が溢れていました。一口食べると、外は香ばしく、中は柔らかくてジューシー。タレは甘すぎず、うなぎの旨みをしっかり引き立ててくれます。土鍋で炊き上げられたご飯は粒立ちが良く、うなぎの脂やタレと絡み合って最後まで美味しくいただけました。 そして、ひつまぶしスタイルで楽しむカリカリ食感も最高。最初はそのまま、次は薬味をのせて、最後は出汁をかけてお茶漬け風にと、味の変化を存分に堪能できました。特に、表面をパリッと焼き上げた香ばしさと、中のふっくら感のバランスが絶妙で、箸が止まらなくなります。 お店の雰囲気も落ち着いており、丁寧な接客でとても居心地が良かったです。少し贅沢な食事ですが、間違いなく値段以上の満足感があります。うなぎ好きはもちろん、普段あまり食べない方にもぜひ一度味わってほしいと思える味でした。「うなぎ＝夏」というイメージがありますが、ここは季節を問わず行きたくなるお店です。ふっくらとした土鍋ご飯、香ばしいひつまぶし、そして丁寧な仕事ぶりが詰まった一皿一皿に感動しました。また必ず訪れたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) My favorite room is still comfortable, but dinner was full of fried foods, which was disappointing. Matsutake mushrooms, chestnuts, Pacific saury spring rolls, sweet potatoes, burdock, and shiitake mushrooms - I wish they'd cut me off. The sukiyaki-style beef was salty, and the soup had fried gluten and figs, and the oily broth was not tasty. What on earth happened? I was really looking forward to staying here after 10 months, so I'm very disappointed. I'm planning to return in January, but I'll think about it. (Original) お気に入りの部屋は変わらずに快適ですが、夕食が揚げ物続きで閉口しました。松茸、栗、秋刀魚の春巻き、さつまいも、牛蒡、どんこ椎茸と勘弁してほしいです。すき焼き風の牛肉はしょっぱくて、お吸い物にもお麩と無花果の揚げ物が入っていて油の浮かんだお出汁は美味しくないです。いったいどうしたのでしょうか？10ヶ月ぶりの宿泊でとても楽しみにしていたのに残念でなりません。１月に再訪予定ですが考えます。

(Translated by Google) I recently moved to Yugawara and have been exploring the town's restaurants. I'm amazed by the high quality of the restaurants. This small town is packed with famous restaurants, each with their own unique flavor. I ordered hitsumabushi and matsutake mushrooms here, and both were absolutely delicious. I'm from Mishima City, a place famous nationwide for its eel. I've eaten eel in many places around the country, but the eel here is undoubtedly the best I've ever had. The staff were very friendly, and I had a pleasant meal. While many people associate Yugawara with hot springs, I believe that for discerning gourmets, a visit to Yugawara for delicious food is well worth it. With so many famous restaurants, it's hard to visit them all in one or two visits. (Original) 最近湯河原に引っ越し、町内の飲食店を食べ歩いています。湯河原の飲食店のレベルの高さに驚かされています。小さな町に、こだわりの名店が集結しています。こちらでは、ひつまぶしと、松茸を頼みましたが、どちらも絶品でした。私の出身地は三島市という全国的にうなぎの有名な土地で、三島以外にも全国様々な場所でうなぎ料理を食べてきましたが、こちらのうなぎは間違いなく人生でこれまで食べてきたうなぎ料理の最上位に位置します。お店の方たちもたいへん親切で、気持ちよく食事ができました。湯河原というと温泉をイメージする方が多いと思いますが、舌の肥えたグルメ好きならば、美味しい食事を求めて湯河原に通う価値は十分にあると思います。名店の数があまりに多いので一度や二度の来訪では回りきれないと思います。

(Translated by Google) It was close to where I was staying and I stopped in because I wanted to eat eel. I think it's called Kansai-yaki, and the eel skin was crispy and the meat was plump and absolutely delicious! I had the hitsumabushi, which was very filling and I had a really enjoyable time. The interior of the restaurant is in a traditional building and has a lovely atmosphere. If you're in Yugawara, this is definitely a restaurant you should try! (Original) 宿泊していた場所から近く、鰻が食べたくて辿り着きました。 関西焼きというのでしょうか、鰻の皮がパリッと、身はふっくらとしててめちゃくちゃおいしーい！ひつまぶしをいただきましたが、ボリュームもあり、とても楽しいひと時を過ごせました。 店内も昔ながらの建物で風情があり素敵でした。 湯河原まできたら食べてみるってのは絶対アリのお店です！

(Translated by Google) Everyone knows Benitora Gyoza! It's operated by the same company! Recently, Nyorosuke, a nationwide chain, has emerged as a sister restaurant, claiming to be able to serve delicious eel without the need for a skilled chef. This group of restaurants is now dominating the eel industry! That's why they're designed to capture customers' hearts with everything from the restaurant's atmosphere and approach to the menu, to the Instagram-worthy dishes (their clay pot eel rice is a highlight). (Well, to put it simply, it's like an eel restaurant version of Denny's.) This is a wonderful project worthy of praise, having renovated an abandoned inn in Yugawara at a cost of hundreds of millions of yen. It's also wonderful that they've added an eel restaurant as a signature establishment. All that's left now is to find authentic cuisine and staff who can provide the "omotenashi" (hospitality) that Japan is so proud of. 202509 (Original) 誰もが知ってる！あの紅虎餃子を運営する際コーポレーション❗️最近では、職人がいなくても美味しいうなぎを提供できる！と、全国にチェーン展開している「にょろ助」が兄弟店として君臨する。今やうなぎ業界を席巻するグループ店‼️だから、店の風情やアプローチ、メニュー、料理のインスタ映え(鰻土鍋ごはんは圧巻)に至るまで、客の心を鷲掴みにする仕掛けが施されています。(まあ、分かりやすく言うとデェニーズのうなぎ屋さん版) 湯河原に廃墟として建っていた古旅館を数億円かけ再生した、心意気は称賛に値する素晴らしい事業。更に名物となる店としてうなぎ店を併設した事も素晴らしいと思います。 後は、本物の料理と、、 日本の誇る「お、も、て、な、し」が出来るスタッフが見つかるといいですねぇ？ ２０２５０９

Chief was very kind and positive person. He’s master of his craft, he don’t speak English, I don’t speak Japanese so while he was cooking he had time to use translator to communicate and entertain us. Food was extremely delicious.

Just perfect!

Don't go if you don't want to smell like teppanyaki but otherwise food was great.

Excellent !!!!!the steak options are all good with red snapper as an appetizer

Amazing place. Great food, reasonable prices, and a truly entertaining chef. Highly recommended.

(Translated by Google) This restaurant scores 100 points in terms of meat quality, quantity, and flavor. The level is on par with the highest-end courses in Tokyo! I always worry, "Is it really okay to offer something so reasonably priced?" The homey atmosphere and the owner's talkative and efficient manner are truly professional! I think the fun conversations he gets other customers involved in are one of the reasons I keep coming back. I also love being able to watch the flambé performance right before my eyes and the skilled hands of the chef! The fillet, which barely requires any teeth, is cooked to perfection! I don't think there's any other teppanyaki restaurant that's as delicious as this. And I worry, "Is it really worth the price?" The restaurant is staffed entirely by people from Tokyo. Once you know the teppanyaki here, everyone will make the journey all the way from Tokyo to eat it! This is one of my regular restaurants! When I stay at XIV Yugawara Rikyu, eating here in the evening is my favorite course!

(Translated by Google) I bring my family here on special occasions. The meat served here is always so fresh and delicious that it leaves me in awe. Whether it's sirloin or filet, I leave the cooking method up to the chef. The chef's dexterity, which he keeps a close eye on, from grilling the garlic on the hot plate, is truly impressive. And above all, the chef's friendly personality and witty conversation are also one of the charms of this restaurant. The interior is clean and has a slightly retro feel, creating a very relaxing atmosphere. I will definitely bring my family here again. (Original) 特別なときに、家族を連れて来ます。 提供される肉は、いついただいても感嘆するほどの新鮮さと美味しさ。 サーロインもフィレも、焼き加減はマスターにお任せしています。 鉄板でガーリックを焼くところからすべてが、ずっと見ていられるマスターの手さばきは、ほんとに見事です。 そしてなによりマスターの気さくなお人柄と巧みなトークも、このお店の魅力のひとつです。 店内も清潔で、少しレトロ感もあり、とても落ち着く雰囲気です。 また家族を連れて行きます。

The food was very delicious. The staff is friendly and quick service. There is beautiful view. As a non fish eater. I enjoyed the dishes very much. Everything was cooked well. Everyone try this place!!

Popular location with several items with only 1 portion a day / sold out by the time we arrived around 1PM on Thursday. Food is ordered prior to seating from the menu pasted up on the wall outside the restaurant. Drink orders are placed after you’re seated. At 1PM we had to wait a few minutes for an indoor table. Last orders are at 2.30PM while the shop closes at 3PM. Service by the more senior staff was noticeably more friendly! Note: • No English menu available. • Cash-only payment.

Konichiwa! This was my second visit to Minato Shokudou, and I was just as impressed as the first time. We both ordered set meals, and the seafood was absolutely delicious. The fish was fresh and cooked to perfection, and the accompanying side dishes were also very flavorful. The atmosphere at Minato Shokudou is lovely, whether you choose to dine indoors or on the terrace. The restaurant has a relaxed and inviting vibe that makes you feel right at home. One noticeable change since my last visit is that the portion sizes have seemed to decrease while the prices have remained the same. Additionally, the restaurant still does not accept credit cards, so be sure to bring cash. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Minato Shokudou once again. The delicious seafood, charming atmosphere, and friendly service make it a great place to enjoy a leisurely lunch or dinner. While the portion sizes and payment options could be improved, I still highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a taste of fresh, authentic Japanese seafood

Friendly service and very good seafood. Only issue was that the rice was too soft for my taste but I'm sure some people prefer that.

Love this place.. friendly staff.. delicious food We always eat outside, ocean view :) Be early if you want to eat here waiting time is long

Very very fresh fish caught right in same morning you visit and eat at lunch (not open in dinner time) best freshness you can find because they don't process frozen before you eat

We went here after fishing to have lunch. The food was amazing.
