Onsen Ryokan Yuen Shinjuku Tokyo
Our name, "Yuen," is a Japanese word meaning "origins." A "ryokan" is a place where travelers are met with a meal and a place to rest. The origin of the "ryokan" is, in a sense, the "omotenashi" hospitality culture of Japan taking physical form.
It is a calm, quiet space, born of an austere and simple design, possessed of a minimalist beauty, that welcomes all five senses across all four seasons.
During your stay with us, we hope you enjoy the full experience ofthis new "onsen ryokan,"formed out of a studied devotion tothe true meaning of "ryokan" culture
