Yufu hotels

Pros: Everything

Pros: Such a beautiful little paradise with private onsen and rotemburo and so conveniently located.

Pros: I stayed here for one night with my boyfriend, to enjoy Japan's hot sauna and Yufuin street. In conclusion I really satisfied with here, also same as my boyfriend. All staffs were so kind and well introduced the room, and the city to us. Thanks to that, we could enjoy the street well, and restaurants. The Oncen outside itself is so gorgeous and nice and private. The water is always extremely warm and clean, which is so good to have a bath outside during cold winter. Having a hot bath, watching stars in the sky... I will never forget that experience. I really want to visit this place again with my family one day. Thank you

Cons: They don't serve dinner and breakfast, compared to the other Ryokans. But anyway I can't eat seafood meals, and also my boyfriend doesn't enjoy it so that didn't matter to us. But for others, accepting that risk, I really recommend this place to whom want hot bath outside! You can have some nice dinner or breakfast outside, or also you can buy some Japanese style meals at the big market, which located just next to the accommodation.

Pros: The room is big The bath inside the room is excellent Nice staff, fluent in English.

Cons: Too many insects Location not too convenient

Pros: Staff can speak English very well and can provide good info of the area. Good location. Near the main shopping street and next to grocery.

Cons: The street to the ryokan is a bit narrow for a big car.

Pros: A wonderful Ryokan. Would loved to have stayed much longer. The private onsen was delightful. Staff very friendly and so helpful. A picturesque location and a delightful place to stay.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The English of the hotel owner is very good and just like a native speaker. And the lady is very friendly and polite. We do enjoy the 私人風呂 in the room. It is more beautiful and comfortable than I expected. You can enjoy the whole apartment and feel like in home.

Pros: Almost ecerything. Room, private hotspring, family hotspring. Locations is very good as it is next to supermarket and near the main tourist street. Our 2 kids loved this place.

Cons: some mosquitoes in the garden but it was a small problem for us. Another thing is the sign for this ryokan os only in Japanese so it might be hard for someone who cannot read to find but now we have google map so it was ok.

Pros: Staff very friendly and private onsen was the best

Pros: I like everything. Like the most, the receptionist, She provides a very wonderful welcome, nice & friendly and she speaks excellent English.

Pros: The hot spring and food is excellent

Cons: The place is a bit difficult to find. You cannot get there without a car. Suggest to attach a map telling how to drive there.

Pros: We have a wonderful Onsen trip with a nice food and staff! Will try again next time! The hotel is so good that they can arrange pick up from train station. I like this town rather than Yufuin.

Pros: Staff were very nice, Meals & room were superb, and Onsen was fantastic! 10/10 points would not be exaggerated!

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Lovey onsen baths, great atmosphere, delicious food and wonderfull staff!

Pros: The guest house located in the small village which makes it a very quiet place for relaxing. The hosts are nice and capable of speaking basic English. The dinner is fantastic, a litter bit too much:) The hot spring is wonderful since you could use several spa privately, two spa places are outdoor with rock and green plant, which bring you very natural spirit. The shuttle service is also very convenient for people traveled by train. Highly recommend!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Absolutely recommended!! Two outside onsen were comfortable. Food was great too! I really loved peanut tofu that was made here in yunohira. I will miss it.. Senbe in the room was also yunohira-made. It was also selling yunohira-made ice cream! The fact that the ryokan is supporting local community was extremely meaningful. It would have been better if the selling signs for ice cream was written in English. Then I would have bought it here in ryokan rather than the outside shop..lool Everything was perfect!

Cons: Everything was perfect!

Pros: very good and tasty

Cons: location is a bit far fm the city centre

Pros: Very good services and great dinner.

Pros: Dinner is excellent

Cons: Breakfast is no choice to choose. The room got no shower. The role of hotel is too strict such as the shower time ( only once a day and offering only 1 hr ) Did you imagine that I came with the family? Every time you taking a shower ... you must look at the watch otherwise you have to pay for extra time . OMG ! The private bath is too far from the room !!!!

Pros: Breakfast and Dinner are great, we enjoy with this ryokan 旅館. Staff are friendly. a little walk from center.

Pros: Everything was perfect, the rooms were spacious and clean, the entire hotel is beautiful, like something out of a postcard. Staff were friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed the two meals we had, even though there were lots of things we hadn't tried yet. The baths were the absolute highlights, both really nice and with beautiful scenery. I liked that they switched between men and women from day to day, giving us the opportunity to experience both. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

The futons are really comfy and they really care about you having the best stay. So you should go it's great!

Pros: Everything. Food was fantastic. Service was fantastic. Onsen is awesome. Shuttle service is so useful too

Cons: Not much to do in the area but to be honest that’s being very critical as the property will keep you entertained

Pros: Excellent breakfast and dinner It was nice that they provided yukatas to wear Although there is no parking space directly infront of the property ( the parking space is slightly higher up the mountain), the host was very hospitable and provided a “concierge service” to help transfer our luggage from the parking space to the ryokan. Host also assisted us with finding the gas station and providing directions around the facility.

Cons: Abit difficult to find the place using Google maps

Pros: New facility, very good space, location is good in about 10 to 15 minutes you could walk to the lake and the main street.

Cons: 1.Price is higher as located in a popular scenic spot. 2. The room is not completely dark when sleep. The outside light is visible from the window.

Pros: Everything!!!!!! I highly recommend this ryokan to others.

Cons: I wish the quality of the dinner would be better.

Pros: We were so impressed the first time we stayed in Itsuki that we decided to re-visit again. As previous, we had a wonderful stay. We booked 3 villas and each one was exquisitely designed with in-room onsen, separate bathroom, bedroom and living room. Food was so delicious and beautifully presented we look forward to our breakfasts and dinners eagerly. If we return to Yufuin again, we will certainly return. Sunny San was very friendly and always ready to assist.

Pros: There are two family bath u can use for private, no need to reserve. There are also public indoor and outdoor onsen. Dinner is more than enough and very tasty. The service is really good and everyone is willing to help and they greet you every time when they see you. I was offered to choose my yukata between two different patterns (only for girl though). plus, one girl speaks English well, so it was easy to communicate.

Cons: the temperature of the private onsen in our room is too high, even our feet cannot bear the heat.

Pros: Private onsen and the service

Cons: The food can be finer considering this is a five star resort

Pros: The warmth of all the staff if just excellent. The room and the view to the Mount Yufu is just mesmerizing. Pair with the relaxing spring spa. The meals offered is the highlight of the trip there and if I could have it again, I would in a heart beat. The beef shabu shabu is one of the best we had on this trip. Each dish offering is just a pleasant to the palate and to the eyes as well. We can tell the chef prepared it with love.

Cons: No shuttle service provided for pickup from train station. Would be much awesome if there is.

Cons: A bit far from station and the pavement is quite hard to walk with luggage

Pros: It was our honeymoon and the staff celebrated us and were so welcoming and amazing

Pros: Excellent cuisine, very friendly staff.

Pros: We were a group of families with young children. We love everything there: the spacious and clean rooms, the private hot spring bath, the stunningly great dinner, and the caring hotel staff. We were lucky enough to appreciate the architecture of the hotel at various weather conditions. Our whole group agreed that the stay at this hotel is the most enjoyable experience throughout our 7-day trip in Kyushu.

Pros: I really like the ambience of traditional ryokan stay. Food was very good. The onsen was superb. But best of all was the staff, professional and friendly, it was great service all the way.

Pros: Private bath and toilets. Hotel location is perfect for walking around Yufuin shopping and attractions.

Cons: Room location was a bit too far. Cleanliness should be improved especially in private bath. Quality of bed.

Pros: Almost everything, the room (villa) had all you can wish for and the quality was of high level. But the most relevant was the service and the Kaiseki dinner which were just over everything one can dream of.

Cons: The bed room on the 2nd floor, my knees would prefere to have everything on the same floor.

Pros: Everything is perfect and once again, I was amazed by the hospitality of Japanese and their attentiveness to details. The view from onsen is spectacular and it is definitely relaxing. Staffs are super nice and we feel being pampered in a 360 way. For sure, it would be a great treat to yourself if choosing to stay here.

Cons: Absolutely no

Cons: Was hoping for a more peaceful experience... there was a screaming child, somewhere during dinner, and it was disruptive and stressful. It would NOT stop crying.

Pros: Private bath tub in the middle of the forest

Cons: None

Pros: very good breakfast

Pros: What a property! The service was genuine and the location was ideal for us; we wanted to be apart of the area. Our room had its own onsen which was magical and the food was great. Oh the sake (Nihonshu)... the server was spot on with what went well with our dishes. I give this ryokan

Pros: the private outdoor hot spring!!!!!!Kaiseki cuisine!!!! I also love the suspension bridge that makes 月灯庵 extremely graceful.

Cons: the auto toilet is a bit too old and not user-friendly

Pros: Clean and comfortable with high quality food.

Cons: None

Pros: Japanese meals have high quality and my parents in their 70's were very very satisfied with food Gettouan served. Onsen is great. Great is not enough to explain. Especially my wife really liked and enjoyed the spa.

Pros: The hotel was clean and nice. food is good.

Cons: When i was traveling for leasure i always love to stay at the hotel for a lazy morning and leave about 11:00 or 12:00 but we were suggested to leave the room between 10:00-15:00 for the hotel clean up. a little bit disappointed but understood there is lot of clean up for the staff.

Pros: Beautiful landscape and friendly staffs

Pros: The staff was all very nice and helpful. The man who served us can speak fluent English. The food was tasty and nice. My friend had food allergy and thanks so much that they had tried their best to adjust the menu. As the staff can speak fluent English, he can explain the food to us in details and we all enjoyed the meal so much. The house looked new and gorgeous. It was very tidy and large.

Pros: That was a wonderful staying in this place. The staff were very nice and helpful. The room was very clean and there was a private hot spring which was an open environment, I can enjoyed it at any time and many times. when I made booking for this place I felt like a bit expensive but I realized it was very reasonable price because they served you great foods for dinner and breakfast. I am sure I will stay there again in future.

Pros: 1. The services. Its really exceptionally good and caring. 2. Wonderful room facilities, including the hot spring and beverges as provided. 3. Complete caring attitude. The staff is always concerning your feelings and english communication is not a problem at all. I can see their staff treat well and professionally to all customer, including kid and.baby. 4. The food. Both the dinner and breakfast are nice. 5. Great interior design and environment. It really lets you relax and feel immersing in the nature.

Cons: Nothing can be complained.

Pros: My mother told me that breakfast and dinner were fantastic and also the outdoor hot spring was very good. My family was really satisfied by all facilities of Ryokan for the three nights. During the stays of Yufuin Ryokuyu, we had a water supply problem for one day but the staffs dealt with this problem well. So, I really appreciate all staffs of Yuguin Ryokuyu for solving the water supply problem. So, my family definitely wish to visit Yufuin Ryokuyu again in the next time.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: every detail of it. very attentive.

Cons: Nothing. Exceptional all the way.

Pros: I really have to say that Yufuin Ryokuyu was one of the best place i have visited so far. As a frequent traveller i have visited many 5 star hotels and resort till today, but Yufuin Ryokuyu was one place i really want to revisit soon. The dinner and breakfast was so perfect and tasty, bed was so cosy and comfortable, staff was so kind and really know how to take care of guest. I would really love to say thank you to all of the staff who took really good care of us when we were staying at the Ryokuyu. I would love to revisit Ryokuyu soon.

Cons: As the property is located in the forest and it was summer, there were too many insects in the room. I would highly recommend to spray the whole room just before you sleep.

Pros: The food was excellent

Cons: Two twin beds for my wife and I

Pros: From the mo.ent that you enter the hotel and till you leave it- all the time they do their best so thet you will be comfortable.

Cons: The hospitality of the staff. Private onson in our room.

Pros: The staff here are great and really nice. They even gave me a gift when I was leaving! The room was decent and it was overall comfortable. One thing I did like is that it was close to the main streets in Yufuin which made it easy to get to and from during my stay. Just be careful though, at night it can be a little hard to find your way back! Also, the breakfast they offer is great and the venue is nice and relaxed with a lovely view out the windows.

Cons: I feel like the room could be updated a little since it is a bit dated and the shower in my room was really inconsistent. It would sometimes just get extremely hot and then go back to normal. Apart from that there isn't any other negative things I can say.

Pros: I really like to commend the staff at Yawaragi-no-Sato Yadoya, it is they who made the difference to the whole stay; and my whole family can attest to that. Actually, it is not full credit to all the staff at Yawaragi,by naming just a few persons. Since we did managed to get their names, THANK YOU Tokumuru and Nagomori (at our meals) and the gentlemen at the reception who spoke very good English. We cannot thank you enough for the great time we had with you.

Cons: There is nothing to dislike or even fault, but a few pointers for improvement. Unfortunately we were stuck very bad traffic and arrived much later than expected, hence we had to contact the Ryokan. Suggestion because of today's technology for Yawaragi to have a LINE or WhatsApp contact number so that there is no need to incur international charges for those of us who have data. In the similar context, providing the drivers with the MAP CODE would be useful, as the Japanese navigation system functions on MAPCODES (of course, you can also key in the phone number). The other thing, which I had already informed the Ryokan, is that they may have to re-consider their system for booking the private onsen.

Pros: The location was a little difficult to find...but once we were there, it was worth the walk. The staff were extremely friendly and very professional. The dinner was absolutely fabulous (it exceeded our expectations) and the breakfast was totally amazing. My fellow travelers totally enjoyed the onsen. The room was a pretty good size, but the bathroom was a bit small. All in all, we had a great stay and will definitely think about going back.

Cons: There wasn't anything I didn't like.

Pros: Very beautiful and serene setting but close to the main town. Very helpful staff with very good English. Very easy to book private Onsen.

Cons: Nothing we didn’t like!

Pros: My girl received a lot of snacks and small gift which make her excited. The firework is absolutely an memorable experience. Thanks for your caring and full of heart service.

Pros: The place stays away from busy streets and gave us a peaceful time for relaxing. Also, the place is well equipped with necessary facilities and accessed for seniors. Every staff I came across was nice and professional.

Pros: The location of this hotel is just a few minutes from the main tourist street. They have 3 private onsens for guests to book in addition to the public ones. Some of the Japanese staff speaks English which is a plus. They are patient and friendly all the time. The hotel has a lift and very wheelchair friendly. Good if you have heavy luggages! Breakfast for 1080JPY was worth it. The room has high ceiling and large (201). The tatami area can easily sleep 4 in addition to the 2 western beds. It was really comfortable.

Cons: For around 45k Yen a night without meals, it is very pricey considering we paid 38k Yen for a beautiful ryokan in Kurosawa with kaiseki dinner and breakfast. I guess the price is for the large room and convenience to the shopping street. All the other ryokans I stayed in Ureshino and Kurosawa provided pick-up and drop-off services, so I call this a hotel instead of a ryokan since they did not provide.

Pros: Excellent location. The evening meal was fantastic - one of the best we have had in lovely little private areas/booths. The private onsens (which you book on arrival) are beautiful and outdoor which was a fantastic experience. We would recommend this hotel!

Cons: The hotel was a little pricey in comparison to the other accommodation we have stayed in across Japan. However it was lovely

Pros: Super friendly and helpful staff! Excellent private outdoor onsen! Excellent breakfast and dinner even some of us can’t eat fish! Wheelchair friendly^^ We enjoy the stay!

Pros: Room is very spacious.

Cons: Food wasn’t exceptional. Not all rooms are with heating system on the floor. Expect better bathroom amenities, and vending machine with milk.

Pros: Staff, food, onsen and services

Cons: Pillows

Pros: Very spacious room with splendid view. We stayed at the standard room on top of the dinning place. The view could be better than the villa room because it is elevated. Also less walking from and to the main building and public bath. All facilities are new and room is very clean. Was hesitated for the high price but glad i did not change. Very pleasant experience and worth the money. Food is very decent.

Cons: Bit remote to the town center but not an issue if you prefer to spend more time to enjoy the hotel.

Pros: Everything’s very good, Excellent

Cons: Nil

Pros: Room was comfortable with western beds.

Cons: Onsen in private terrace had no view just wooden walls. While meals were adequate, felt quality could be better for dinner.

Pros: Amazing view, cozy and clean.

Pros: Staff very accommodating and friendly; immaculate and spacious suite; peaceful setting with beautiful view; enjoyed private outdoor onsen.

Pros: The room is very comfortable with in-room bath, massage chair, bed. Room deco is very modern with good facilities. Staff are very attentive and good English. Dinner and breakfast are great and delicious. I would like to come back in the future.

Cons: Food is so so

Pros: Mr Peng and Ms Sato were really friendly and provided great guest experience. Room was perfect, really appreciate the hotel for giving me a room with a great mountain view, and awesome onsen!

Cons: Nothing much to dislike. Dinner is on the expensive side as the beef served was not as good as I expected for this price range. I had better beef in Miyazaki at a much lower price.

Pros: Good bath, beautiful interior. Free eggs are cooked to perfection. A working jukebox with iconic music from the 70s and 80s. The toy collection on display is phenomenal, and there are games available (like billard, various boardgames, etc.)

Cons: Open air bath timing just abit too short, can only soak outdoors in the evening. (But indoor baths opens throughout the night and morning.)

Pros: Free drink, private bath, old toy collections and free ticket to dream museum (Showa Retro Themepark).

Pros: I like the kitchen that allows us to cook supper. There is not much food in Yufuin and not much attraction in yufuin. The common area is great. They have a private onsen that you are allowed to lock the door 1st come 1st serve. The staff is really helpful, they helped us carry our luggage to our room.

Cons: There's stairsways, so do expect to carry your luggage up and down via stairs. The private onsen is 1st come 1st serve basis, hence there is moments that you might need to wait for your turn. The kitchen is only available in the evening, hence you cant cook your own meals/breakfast in the morning. But they do provide breakfast, you can pay at the property itself.

Pros: Staff can speak Mandarin

Cons: Kitchen just open till 9pm is too early

Pros: Very recommended hot spring hotel with very nice price. The receptionists are very friendly and patient. Room is quite clean and large. Location is close to 湯之坪 street. There's even a open-air hot spring that you can use for your own family. This is a very wonderful experience in 湯布院.

Pros: - Lovely and very comfortable stay with private Onsen in Yufuin, very clean,new furnished and full of facilities. - Breakfast is quite good however may add more variety of food would be better. - Good location to explore natural scene around Yufuin village - Good service and friendly staff. - Free parking (Hardly found in most hotel in Japan, every hotel we stayed mostly charged for parking fee)

Cons: - a bit far from town center

Pros: This place is fantastic. The beds were comfortable, they had all the amenities you could imagine. Everything was translated in English. The location is great. It’s a 10 minute walk to everything and off the road enough that’s is quiet at night. Loved it here. I’ll definitely be back.

Pros: The staffs are very friendly

Pros: The reception and restaurant staff are wonderful. Good location and really relax environment. Provide free bicycle, breakfast is super delicious.

Pros: Definitely will stay again when I go back to Yufuin.

Pros: We’ll manage and v friendly staffs . Very clean n excellent facilities . Worth the money to stay there .

Pros: onsen,comfy bed&delicious breakfast

Pros: Nice location, nice and helpful staffs. Very good hot spring.

Pros: The staff were very enthusiastic and wanting to help. The onsen was very good. Room was a good size.

Cons: The location was good in that it was quiet with a view of the woods. However it was far from shops and restaurants.

Pros: 1. A female receptionist is very helpful as she showed us everything in details with smiles. Thank you! 2. There are at least female 6~10 ゆかた for us to choose from! For males, at least 3~5 3. We stayed there for two nights. We had everything in our room, such as toiletries, even straightening iron and steamed machine for face! That really made us feel like home! 4. Welcome us with cookies and hot tea right after we entered our room 5. The room is well-decorated, clean and cute! Pajamas prepared by the hotel are hanged at closet! Inside the room, the toilet and the bathroom are separated, which is great. 6. Guests can enjoy pickup service (before dinner time). Otherwise, you have to take a taxi (about ¥1000 for one way drive) 7. There are 3 private and public female & make onsens right next to the hotel.

Cons: Hopefully there's more pickup service for guests who don't drive there. That would be perfect ^^''

Pros: Loved sitting in front of an open fire.

Pros: Super loving staff. Always respond with a smile and they are really kids-friendly! Their English are the best I’ve heard in Japan, I can communicate with every staff without hassle. Prior to our visit, I sent them email and asked for some arrangements, everything was well answered with English! Many thanks for their reply. The place is unlike traditional Japanese Onsen, they decorate in a bit French style with vivid colours, which made the experience more special for us.

Pros: everything was perfect

Pros: A few people would choose to stay in Yunohira. So you are hardly to see tourists on the street. You'll feel some kind of isolation, but that brings peaceful. There are also a few stores on the street, so you can totally enjoy the view of this little town.

Pros: Friendly, English speaking staff - Sho and Saki were wonderful. Very clean facility, unique cave hot springs, free ride to train statation, great food, just mention a few. 110%.

Cons: none.

Pros: Everything was perfect

Pros: Cosy and comfortable place. Nice and helpful staff who can communicate in English quiet well. The staff picked up me and my husband from Yunohira station and when we checked out the host drove the car to send us at Yufuin sta. also. The great cave spa that I haven’t seen before . The half board is very good.

Pros: Prompt reply on my enquiries for my booking, warm welcome during my arrival, the meal served is good and the view from my room is great. In sum, the host try his best for his guest

Cons: nil

Pros: The room is overlooking a nice garden. Private and public onsen are great. The place is clean. The room is big for a family.

Cons: A bit difficult to find the place - no sign in English. Quite far from town - and if dinner is needed - it should be ordered one day in advance.

Pros: the dinner

Pros: The cave onsen and private onsen features were unique and nice.

Cons: You need a car to get there and felt the breakfast could have been better as I am personally not a fan of tofu and yogurt.

Pros: Amazing food, incredibly gracious hosts, a peaceful setting, and a surreal cave onsen. We loved our stay here.

Cons: The building is very old (and beautiful), but that means it’s also a little drafty and creaky. The futons were okay, but rather thin and I had to layer extra blankets on mine to appease my very American taste for soft beds. The place is a bit pricy, but the hosts go above and beyond to make sure your stay is a good one.

Pros: The hostel was high up in the mountains, cooling and serene. It is a bit far from downtown or where the attractions are. However, the room is clean and comfortable. There’s no bathroom, you have to shower in the onsen room.

Cons: No bathroom...also the dinner and breakfast was mediocre and lack of taste, far from the Typical Japanese food. The miso soup was tepid warm when it should be served hot. The breakfast was a hybrid between American and Japanese- lacking the taste. Could have been better.

Pros: It takes about 35 minutes to walk from the JR station to the hostel. Breakfast is great and the host is friendly.

Pros: Friendly staff, really clean hostel. Beautiful view From the restaurant and nice onsen in the structure.

Cons: Far from the train station, but we used the transport service available just on the weekend. No free kitchen but there is a restaurant service. Far from shops, restaurants and facilities. Pretty expensive

Pros: Staff is very friendly and dinner is very good!

Cons: Location is far from station. 2 buses per day. But staff send you to station when you check out.

Pros: The food - got both dinner and breakfast and they were both yummy! The location - while not so near the station, you have an awesome view of the town at night and at early morning! Less lights also means the Stars are visible! The people! They're amazing and helpful and fun! They even sang for me before I left :)

Cons: You can hear the footsteps of people in the second floor if you're staying on the first

Pros: Very warm and welcoming atmosphere. There is a comfy common room where guests can chat or just enjoy a cup of warm tea (provided by the hosts), the hosts are very helpful and even arrange two daily rides in the morning for the guests heading to town. The hotel itself is Japanese-style, very comfortable and well-kept. Common spaces and rooms were perfectly clean. There are both beds and futon, we got the futon and slept very well. Despite the low price everything was wonderful, thank you for hosting us!

Cons: There are only a few buses going there, you have to be careful not to miss them.

Pros: If you’re looking to just do a day trip to Yufuin, you’re making a mistake! You should definitely consider staying overnight at Yufuin Country Road Youth Hostel! I loved the warm and cabin style decor, made me feel right at home! Ryo and his family were amazing at creating a relaxed environment. I have to give a special mention to the FOOD - if you are there, both breakfast and dinner is a must! The cooking is so so delicious and varied. I also liked the comfortable lounge area which had beautiful views overlooking Yufuin. The on-site onsen was also oh so wonderful! Ryo also offers a night tour of Yufuin to the guests which I really enjoyed! I got to see and catch fireflies for the first time as well as learn about Japanese shrine etiquette. Thanks so much for the special stay!

Cons: Nothing! I was the only guest that night so I didn’t get much opportunity to socialise BUT I thoroughly enjoyed my stay nevertheless. It was great to wind down and relax after a few weeks of fast paced travelling.

Pros: Relaxing and friendly atmosphere, nice Onsen ... in brief excellent.

Pros: Really nice people. My friend had a toothache and they found an appointment with a english speaking dentist who was fantastic. So we could relax after that inconvenience. The room is nice and the dinner was great. Really comfy futons.

Pros: It was amazing to see whole city view from top of the mountain, where this hostel is located. I didn't expect the cleaness as it is a youth hostel however the hostel was unexpectedly clean. The bathroom is pretty nice that they have Onsen.

Pros: First onsen experience; exceeded my hopes. Huge room, more like apartment size. Super clean as expected. Food great; attendant the best.

Cons: Mosquitos (maybe a trio of them working in shifts) kept me awake. Next time I will bring repellant.

Pros: Great onsen, comfortable tatami and the nice view from our room.

Cons: Having breakfast and dinner in our room was great, but the food quality could be better.

Pros: Both the private and public Hot spring

Pros: The bed and the meals (we had breakfast and dinner) were great. Everyone was nice and the place was clean.

Pros: Very kind staff, great room, great food

Pros: The most excellent service ever, beautiful room with garden and private hot bath. Incredible meal served in the room.

Pros: The staff is helpful and we can feel the japanese vibes here

Cons: The location is a bit far from station which quite difficult to walk to as well

Pros: It was 10 minutes walk from Yufuin station. And it is little apart from main road, so very quite. I could go Kinlinco by free rental bicycle. It was good experience also. Breakfast was simple but tastes good.

Cons: Every room shares same alley and soundproof wasn't perfect, I could heard other room's door closing sound. Room was quiet small but it worth low price.

Pros: perfect hospitality

Pros: Nice room and kind people. Breakfast was amazingly good！

Cons: No

Pros: After visiting with my mom 4 years ago, we had such good memories that we visited this ryokan again. Although, they don't remember us, the owner couple we met again were still kind and welcoming to us. Unfortunately, I could not have a meal because my reservation did not include breakfast, but it was very nice to be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Also, room was very comfortable that we were able to get rid of all the fatigue that traveled. When we check-out, I asked for a call taxi due to heavy burden, but it was not easily assignmented. Nevertheless, the owner constantly tried and eventually we were able to take a taxi to the bus terminal easily. Thank you once again to the owner couple who have done their utmost to the end.

Cons: There's nothing at all. The perfect place for everything!!

Pros: Everything. It's really a beautiful house, with lot of charm. The location is great, the view in front of the ryokan is amazing, with some rice fields and the volcano behind. It's not as far from the city as what I expected, and some bikes are available for free. The atmosphere is very peaceful. At night you can hear the insects, and see the stars. The onsen part is great. There is an outdoor bath and two indoor baths. All of them are great and can be privatized, which makes the experience not stressfull at all. The breakfast is also very nice, cooked and served by the owners (I guess).

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: 2 min walk to the lake, exceptional breakfast and super nice staff! Onsens are great too!

Pros: An amazingly authentic experience in a traditional Japanese ryokan. Every staff member was extremely friendly and welcoming. The onsite onsens were divine and practically empty most of the times. The room I stayed in had really nice views of the surrounding mountains and the well-manicured Japanese garden. Will definitely stay here again if I ever revisit Oita prefecture.

Pros: We were almost overwhelmed by the peacefulness and the quality in every detail at this traditional Japanese guesthouse. The room was as beautiful as the whole property, the food excellent in all aspects (taste, serving in the room, beauty of the presentations and multitude of different elements of each meal), the friendly and polite staff, the relaxation offered by accessing the four different baths (onsen), the range of products available in the gift shop and the location close both to the lake and the town center as well as to other onsen to discover in Yufuin. An unforgettable experience!

Cons: No remarks really. This is a traditional Japanese guesthouse so you need to be prepared to sit on the floor to eat and to sleep on futon beds on the floor, which could be slightly demanding depending on physical condition but then again this makes part of the feeling of staying in a traditional and genuine ryokan.

Pros: The staff who serves us all the time is a girl who speaks English very well. It’s a dicent boutique ousen hotel in the heart zone of Yufuin. The three hotels share four onsens together. I am really satisfied with all the facilities and staffs of Yufuin Sankantou. Will sure choose it when I come back.

Cons: None.

Pros: Decent location

Cons: The place was old , and looks run down . The service was average - I was disturbed a few times by the service staff wanting to set up the room The WiFi didn’t work I had a synthetic rubber band in my food

Pros: Excellent catering

Cons: Futon bed on floor too hard

Pros: Comfortable hot spring, great food for dinner and breakfast, quite environment.

Cons: Not enough hanging points for towels and cloths.

Pros: The meals were amazing. The service was amazing too! We loved our time in Yufuin especially because of the accommodation. My mum who usually doesn't sleep well when traveling slept for 12 hours as it was so comfortable and the hot spa was so relaxing! There's transport to the bus station so very convenient and loads of eateries around the area too!

Cons: We loved everything

Pros: The breakfast is good and traditional Japanese food and the location is good.

Cons: The souvenir shop

Pros: Everything : staffs, room, and onsen
