About

Toyokan has welcomed guests to Unzen Onsen for decades, maintaining a nostalgic atmosphere with its traditional Japanese architecture and retro decor. The ryokan draws from its own hot spring source, providing generous volumes of sulfur-rich water to both the men's and women's communal baths. Tatami rooms are simply but comfortably furnished, and the evening meal is a highlight — a lavish spread of local Nagasaki cuisine including sashimi, grilled fish, and seasonal hot pot. The friendly staff and relaxed pace make it a favorite among repeat visitors.

Frequently Asked Questions

12 questions about Toyokan

A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn featuring tatami-mat rooms, futon bedding, communal or private baths, and multi-course kaiseki meals. Guests typically wear yukata (cotton robes) provided by the inn. A ryokan stay is one of the most authentic cultural experiences Japan has to offer.

Upon arrival, you'll be provided with a yukata (light cotton robe) and a pair of slippers. You can wear the yukata throughout the ryokan — to dinner, to the onsen, and even for a stroll in the neighborhood. Indoor slippers should be removed before stepping on tatami mats.

Toyokan has limited English support. We recommend using a translation app or asking your hotel concierge to help with any pre-arrival communication. The staff is very welcoming and will do their best to assist.

Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is by 10:00. If you arrive early, most ryokans can store your luggage while you explore the area. Late check-in may be possible — contact the ryokan in advance to arrange.

Yes, Toyokan features an onsen for guests. Japanese bathing etiquette requires washing thoroughly before entering the bath. Most onsen have separate bathing times or areas for men and women. Bring a small towel but leave large towels outside the bath area.

Some ryokans in Japan have restrictions on visible tattoos in communal baths. We recommend contacting Toyokan directly before booking if you have tattoos. Small tattoos can sometimes be covered with waterproof bandages.

Yes, Toyokan accepts major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, and JCB. Some ryokans may also accept American Express. It's always good to have some cash as a backup for small purchases.
