Yufu hotels

Pros: Nice view , Good location , Good Service . EXCELLENT ONZEN was good

Cons: nothing

Pros: The hotel is really very good. Everything is excellent.

Pros: Great staffs and make ourselves have a great stayed although just overnight but its very memorable place. Thank you!

Cons: Open concept onsen, a bit chilled during winter.

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: 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!

Very big variety off traditional dishes as well for supper as for breakfast. It was a great experience and we would not have wanted to miss this.

Pros: Excellent Japanese-style hotel. Excellent Spa area, Great service from staff. The Spa is the BEST I experienced so far! Considering the value, this is a perfect stay.

Cons: none

Pros: My second time here and I would come again. Staff is friendly, location is great (not too close that it's noisy, not too far that it's hard to get to), food is fresh and delicious.

Cons: I don't think I would have had it any other way! Can't think of anything bad to say (:

Pros: Staff very helpful. Rooms really nice

Cons: A bit far from the main attractions

Pros: Beautiful facilities. The outdoor onsen were lovely and empty when we were there. The food was wonderful, and the staff very friendly and accommodating. A highlight of our trip!

Cons: The checkout time of 10 am and inability to use the onsen after 9:30 am is too early.

Pros: - superb breakfast and dinner, staff are very nice and they will try their best to explain all the details to you. - there are two open bath hotspring with wonderful view of Mount Yufu, the bath will shift in the other day, so we can enjoy both of them even though staying for one night - free usage for some of the family bath for an hour, all you need is to borrow the key at the front desk - no more than 10 mins walk from the Yufu Station - Check-in at 3pm, but I arrived a bit early and the room is already prepared

Pros: Both dinner and breakfast are GREAT, the dinner will serve in your room. Staff are very nice and polite, you can feel the traditional Japanese culture from them. the Hot Spring is perfect. Although we are not staying in a room with private hot spring, 4 shared hot spring is available for us to use. Two indoor spa is well designed with a changing room and showering area, you can lock the door to enjoy your hot spring without share it with other guest. the Main street is just 15 mins walk from Yamadaya, you can find a lot of food and special stuffs from there. But bare in mind that, don't eat to much. The staff said that many guests waste a lot of food in the dinner time, because they eat too much from the main street.

Pros: The beautifully furnished room, attention to detail and serene gardens. - Many choices of onsen baths, even the public baths felt private as we never encountered any other guests when we soaked. - The meals were lavish and absolutely delicious. - Very personalised service, they contacted us immediately after we made a booking to ascertain our food preferences, gave us directions to hotel, etc.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: service and food are great.

Cons: Room is away too cold, the heater is not good.

Pros: sooooo wonderful experience!!!! We are impressed by the dinner and breakfast!!!! Super yummy, and the ♨️ is amazing!! Hope I can come back next time!!!

Cons: Nope

Pros: Personally prefer boutique places. This property provides all the services you get in popular / famous hotels, but yet keeping the exclusive feeling during your stay.

Cons: honestly nothing

Pros: The location is excellent, close to the main shopping and walking street in Yufuin. Staff were attentive and gave us ponchos when we were going out as it was drizzling. The onsen pools were excellent.

Cons: Nothing really.

Pros: Everything was fine..

Pros: onsen,comfy bed&delicious breakfast

Cons: none

Pros: Grand and beautiful villa-style hotel. The staff can speak good English, easy to communicate. Food is excellent. We enjoyed the private and nice hot spring. Room is very spacious with comfortable beddings.

Pros: Everything was satisfying, there was private hot spring so that i can use it in quiet mood. Especially service was super nice. They were always smiling and some of them can use English so there was no difficulty in communicating.

Pros: 1. The staff are very helpful and kind, of note one of the staffs ,Mr Y Ken , spoke very fluent English and gave us a good assistance concerning some arrangement of our next destination 2. The private onsen which you and your family can enjoy together was very nice

Cons: The location was a bit far from the Center of Yufu if you are not driving

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

Pros: Beautiful villa converted as a hotel. Room is big by Japan standard. We were able to open two large check-in luggage and still has space to walk. We book ground floor room with Kaiseki dinner and breakfast for two persons. We paid high rate as 2nd Oct was World Rugby Cup 2019 NZ vs Canada and a lot of nearby hotels were sold out. Still, the place is comfortable and beautiful and for the service and Onsen, still worth paying.

Cons: Nothing though I must say it is better that you drive. The toilet and shower area is separate, while there is a small wash basin in the toilet, there is no soap so I have to walk and use the soap at the basin in the shower room.

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: If you do not speak Japanese, you will have trouble of communication. Even though the staff show the greatest kindness of hosting. The food and hot spring is great. The lacation is close to the west trail entry of Yufuin Yama. Great experience!

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 ryokan is really close to Kinrinko Lake, approx. 6 min by walking. Hence it won't be too difficult to stroll the lake whenever you'd like. Hot springs are excellent as well, all 3 of them. I was lucky enough to bathe in all 3 of them during my 1 night stay, and I can confirm that this is one of the best experience you can do here at Yufuin. Staff were extraordinarily kind, they were constantly seeking for an opportunity to provide me with a better service. May I use this space to express my gratitude.

Pros: Room and food are prefects

Cons: No transportation arrangement to the JR station

Pros: Great location, extremely nice people and service.

Cons: None.

Pros: the staff are super nice :) and the hot bath environment is very cozy...

Cons: im very sentitive to the light in the room when I was sleeping, there are too many facilities with small lights in the room....

Pros: Feel like home. Cozy. Friendly staff. You can cook by yourself. This hotel have a kitchen.

Pros: Like the private hotspring, good breakfast

Cons: a bit far away from the train station

Pros: Staffs are very friendly. There are private Onsen; outdoor and indoor. Breakfast is great but you have to fix breakfast time (8 AM or 8.45 AM).

Cons: Hotel is quite far. Nothing else I do not like.

Pros: Good location with parking space. The property looks a bit older than expected but everything is well maintained, comfortable and clean. Our room is probably the smallest from the look at the map but it is still very spacious and larger compared to average Japanese hotel room. Decoration and shared living spaces on the first floor are very cozy. There are not so many local guest houses around the area with private bathroom. This place is a perfect choice for us given the private bathroom, close to town (actually within walking distance to the lake but we went there already before checking so didn’t try walking), and nice/modern style room.

Cons: Breakfast is served in a set and can only choose only between two slots. We took the earliest one at 8 am. Option to have earlier breakfast would help us start the day sooner.

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: Helpful staff who made good travel advice for us.

Cons: Only 3 hot spring pools in the hotel and one of them closed after 10 pm due to winter time.

Pros: Very friendly staff, private Onsen were very nice. The room was spacious and clean. Free parking.

Pros: The room is very spacious and nice. Food is really good. Perfect view. With nice welcome drink and introduction to all service.

Pros: Clean, well kept.

Pros: The private outdoor hot spring with nice view let us really enjoyed. The environment is quiet and clean. Should stay more days if we have time. Also the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Pros: The view of my room and the heated floor faciities

Cons: Have more choices of dinner time

Pros: A great experience, Private onsen in the room

Cons: NA

Pros: Hotel environment, room very comfortable

Cons: Nil

Pros: The family onsen and the cosy atmosphere of the whole place.

Cons: Split level with the bedroom upstairs. We prefer one level. Also the toilet upstairs has no washing basin.

Pros: Best breakfast, location is in the quiet area with pine tree surrounding, happy hour for free beverage at the library, comfy bed, onsen with moutain and forest view, best service. After having been to many ryokans, Ikkoten has became our favourite ryokan now. :)

Cons: It could be better if we can book the family onsen in advance for the specific time.

Pros: Romantic place for couple. The hotel is located among the moutain. There are many beautiful scenery around their. Our Ryokan is so lovely. I love our private onsen. The staffs are very helpful. Breakfast is excellent.

Cons: The comfort of the bed. Dinner is not include in the room rate.

Pros: Love that it is surrounded by nature and the private bath opens out to the trees. Rooms were large with living space and cozy bedroom! Clean and excellent breakfast cuisine. Thank you for accommodating to my vegetarian diet choice.

Cons: Maybe one of the staff members assisting us for checkout could be friendlier and perhaps offer to help with our bags?

Pros: Excellent service, wonderful onsen facilities, beautiful accommodation. Tasty meals. Modern yet a taste of traditional. Located right inside the forest, looking at mount Yufu when bathing at the family onsen. The best sleep after working hard for several months.

Pros: It was a comfortable and nice stay. Quite easy to find if you have a car. Staff were very helpful and polite. Nice breakfast and dinner tho the dinner portion was a bit too big:)

Cons: Saw some insects in the room but I guess it’s reasonable since the area is close to nature:)

Pros: Delicious food

Cons: If there is shuttle bus, it will be perfect

Pros: Location is very good, just next to the lake and the main street. - If you are driving, it is hard to find though. The signage to the entrance of the carpark is to 3 properties, so you have to look carefully for the japanese name of the ryokan. - The room we booked has 2 private onsen, one indoors and one outdoors. - If you would like to be in walking distance to the tourist street, this is a great place to stay. It is private so no worries there - be aware it is a masionnette so you need to climb narrow steps to second level for bedroom

Cons: It is pricey

Pros: everything is great.

Pros: Excellent private hot baths

Cons: Bedrooms on upstairs. Slightly less convenient for the elderly.

Pros: This is the 2nd time for me to stay in the lovely Japanese style hotel. The service quality and half board food quality are superb. The room has two floors with private indoor and outdoor hot spring, you can enjoy the hot springs while keeping privacy. Room is very spacious and comfortable. The location is also very good, near the lake and also very quiet. Overall it was a lovely stay!

Pros: Nice big room with own indoor onsen and semi outdoor onsen (yes, 2 onsen tub) Staff are very well train and polite during check in, they bring you to rest at a big room with view / deco, seated on sofa and enjoy tea, while during this time, your luggage was send to your room. Dinner and Breakfast is way too delicious

Cons: Not that easy to find the parking lot / Main entrance

Pros: Good location and very good meal. The staff are all very polite and helpful.

Cons: Photos on your web site looked beautiful so my expectations were high, l suppose. Therefore my first impression at arrival was not a very good one. The location is good but no view.

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: The staffs were all very friendly and helpful!! The room was spacious and tastefully decorated. The private bath is a plus!! Dinner and breakfast were excellent!! Keep up the great work! Kudos!! Thanks for the great experience!

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: The atmosphere there more like homey. The 2 kids greeted us whenever we bumped into each orher.

Cons: I like most the view in front the Hostel, and the couple owner.

Pros: Our hosts were a delight. We were there to watch the rugby and the times of the matches meant late arrival. Our hosts were so helpful. They even took us to see an amazing drum concert where their son was performing - a real highlight of our trip. And a great send off too :)

Cons: It wasn't walkable from the station for us, but it was easy enough by taxi, and a wonderful place.

Pros: Eccentric, but so accommodating

Cons: Nothing

Pros: This is a nice comfortable hostel off the beaten path. Friendly owners and an overall cozy place.

Pros: Conveniently located a 5min drive from Yufuin station or for those that prefer a walk, about 30mins. It’s got a very homely feel, it’s own hot spring and the staff are just incredible!! I ended up having a foot injury and couldn’t walk for a couple of days, the owner extended my check out without any issues, brought me some crutches and then drove me to a hospital in a nearby town and then on to my next hotel. First class hospitality and this is a must stay if you are in the area.

Cons: Private Onsen tub was quite small and not very deep.
