Yufu hotels

Pros: Everything’s perfect. I’ll definitely return. Private onsen is the best.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything

Pros: This place is just a hidden paradise in Yufuin! So lovely, picturesque, quiet, clean and beautiful. I have been to Japan 3 times and stayed in a number of ryokans, and so far this is one of the best experience in a ryokan I have ever had. When you enter the place you are immediately transferred to another world - that of some old folk Japanese tales. This ryokan can very well be a good location for some historical movie :) Me and my sister want to give our warm gratitude to the Mistress of the ryokan who was so kind and helpful to us. She drew a map and explained in details what are the best places to dine and shop at, and helped us with reservations. All the staff is very polite, friendly and helpful. The rooms are sparking clean and beautiful. The yukata and haori are lovely, and we even got a helping hand in tying our obi in a proper way :) And of course a separate admiration of ours was the private onsen with a small beautiful garden and a view of mountains - such a luxury!!! The location is also perfect. It's a little away from the crowded streets - hence no noise, but it's still a comfortable walking distance from all the points of interest and the train/bus station. This place is highly recommended for couples, solo travelers and small groups of travelers.

Cons: Absolutely nothing.

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: 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.

Pros: We had the most enjoyable stay there. Each room is an individual house. The room is clean, spacious. and comfortable. The public open onsens are pretty and excellent. The meal (both dinner and breakfast) are delicious. Staff are nice and friendly. We were most appreciated that a paper crane was given to each guest after dinner. We were impressed that they really served guests with heart. This ryokan is highly recommended.

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!

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.

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: nice quality, kind staffs, comfort facilities and delicious food.

Cons: everything is ok

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: My wife and I like this hotel, excellent customer service, especially the staff, Ms Hazu Irina ,who was very helpful and very detailed. Everything is perfect. We love this property.

Pros: The whole experience of the stay is wonderful and rejuvunating. Excellent service from the staffs, japanese style rooms, private onsen, and dinner prepared by a reputable japanese chef. I wish i could stay for another night.

Pros: The 2 private onsens were amazing. Dinner food quality was also very good.

Cons: Would have been better if the bar was in operation

Pros: The food is good.

Cons: I have stayed in this hotel for a few times, however this time, we were arranged to a room with 2 buildings, 1 is the living room , you have to walk out the building n walked to another building through a corridor, that is the bath, onsen, walk one floor up is the bedroom. Very inconvenient. If I come to this hotel again, I will ask not to stay in this room again.

Pros: Private bath tub in the middle of the forest

Cons: None

Pros: excellent service with great attention to detail. Great selection of sake. extremely tasty bungo beef for dinner. Extremely helpful front desk staff proposing nice alternative route to Hirado.

Pros: very good breakfast

Pros: onsen,comfy bed&delicious breakfast

Cons: none

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: Love the private hotspring there The staff is very very friendly and helpful The room is clean and cosy The amenity kits are very nice Many choices of kimono

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: 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: 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: Food was great Service excellent Spacious room

Pros: Nice scenic surroundings. Private villa accommodations.

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

Pros: Amazing views, located just outside of Yufuin so you have a real sense of being in a retreat. The accommodations were very private. The set meals were wonderful, showcasing great local produce. Staying here was a highlight of our trip to Japan.

Cons: N/A

Pros: Good food and very friendly staff. The mountain view from the room is exceptional and the room (small house actually) is clean and very well maintained.

Pros: The service is so good and staff are nice. The food here is amazing and I’ll definitely come back again.

Pros: Tidy and clean room, warm and helpful staffs

Pros: Good view from the room, delicious dinner and breakfast, excellent service.

Cons: Bath tub is a little bit small.

Pros: Breakfasts was a luxury- would recommend for travellers with no children. Tasty and generous seasonal traditional Japanese breakfast and self serve hot and cold drinks and rice (& raw eggs superbly fresh) and soup was great. We were with 2 young kids that made it hard to enjoy ourselves but staff were always accommodating- it was off peak so it helped. Dinner was Enjoyable, we had beef which was excellent and the small chicken stew dish was a hit with kids. Challenging with very young kids despite the very accommodating staff. We were only one of a handful of guests so private onsen rooms were easily available and much enjoyed by the family and as a couple.. Generous with top up of linen and amenities. The massage chairs were great and the kids liked the small play area - we can’t read Japanese but the book selection was good. Lots of freebies in terms of welcome and farewell gifts and also use of ladies yukata, towels, fans. Indoor slipper system keeps the place clean. Traditional family rooms had nice quality futons and fresh cool night air was such a treat! We slept well.

Cons: The toilet had a smell to it which was worse after opening the window for ventilation so it was kept closed. We thought our boy had dirtied the floor but we gave it a quick rinse but smell persisted. Better after window was closed. The room hadn’t been ventilated well before arrival but I suspect the heat and presence of mosquitoes in the heat of summer ( first week of sept) meant they had to deal with the lesser-of 2 evils. Cooled down quickly enough once we opened the windows on arrival. The non living area of the japanese room didn’t have a lot of usable space in terms of wardrobe or table top space so this is something they can consider.

Pros: I loved being able to privatize a beautiful onsen once per day. The food was amazing. Staff very nice and accommodative. Miss Saki (speaks perfect English) and Miss Tanaka were extremely friendly (restaurant staff) and Mr Sohichi (at the reception) very accommodative as I arrived late at night.

Cons: Bedrooms are old style

Pros: Really good hot spring hotel. Friendly staff, nice & comfort facilities, which is especially for kids. They have got so many surprise and gifts. I like the private hot spring so much. Nice place for holiday and worth to recommend

Pros: Hotel staffs are friendly and able to talk in English.

Cons: It’d be perfect if the dinner could be more luxury.

Pros: The location is definitely the best as it is in the middle between the lake and the station. It is walking distance to the main yufuin street. We love the private bath, and since we booked 2 rooms, we were able to experience their larger private bath both on the evening after check-in and also in the morning the next day. We also had the sukiyaki dinner which was really good and filling... As well as the breakfast set. They also have common room facilities such as play room for kids, and the massage chairs that we enjoyed so much.. especially after all that walk around yufuin.

Cons: hmm... probably the only issues.. the fact that we have to set up our own futon beds... but luckily I have done it before many times, so it wasn't much an issue. Maybe for first time foreigners...

Pros: Warm representative Top level of food ,facilities Will recommend to my friends

Cons: Nil

Pros: Everything! The service is impeccable. Great hospitality. I really enjoyed my stay a lot!

Pros: Staff, food, onsen and services

Cons: Pillows

Pros: Friendly staff, big room, location among the rice fields, cheap minibar

Cons: Daytime curfew, breakfast on the one day we had it was pretty weak, too expensive for what it is

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: 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 location of the hostel is good, not far from the station and commercial street, and taxis are easy to find. Surrounded by a large area of farmland, quiet and peaceful, you can easily see the mountains from room window. It is convenient to soak the hot springs in the hostel according to the schedule, outdoor hot spring is more recommended. You can borrow bicycle to go around or buy some food and supplies if you have time.

Cons: The barbecue area is on the balcony of 2nd floor. We met other guests' barbecue dinner. The room opposite the balcony is noisy and tasty. Hostel guy proposed the solution of changing room for us but not be realized by accidant. Hope that they could inform the guests ahead of time and give plenty of time to prepare. The drink bar are well served, but they need to be added in time. The Corbis I drink is insipid.

Pros: Tabinokura is located very near to the walking street 5 mins walk and the lake but it is a little bit far away from the station but it is manageable within 15 - 20 mins walk. They do provide onsen egg which were probably the best onsen egg that I ever had and also drinks machine which guest can help themselves for free. There are also bicycle for you to cycle around for free to not to mentioned about the three onsen bath room which you can used it for your own. The staffs here are all very friendly and helpful.

Cons: The time limit for the drink machine.

Pros: The staffs are very friendly

Pros: Good breakfast , Friendly service and we love private onsen.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The reception is friendly and informative. Room is clean. Free coffee and soft drink at certain hours. Interior design is cozy and welcoming. Can use the bicycle freely. Hot spring can be used freely if it's vacant and it'll be private once you enter because you can locked the door to enjoy it yourself.

Cons: The location is quite far from station and it takes bout 20 to 25mins walk. The open air hot spring is not hot. The room not sound proof. Can hear next door conversation in room. There an unpleasant odour at the bathroom.

Pros: Staff are very lovely. Stay with the nature

Cons: The Air con in our room is noisy

Pros: Excellent service, nice staffs, nice area with individual house for each family, amenities well prepared, welcome drink and dessert were amazing. Superb quality of half board breakfast and dinner. Family onsen is nice, onsen inside room are also nice, enjoy family onsen, staff will walk you through each area make sure you get familiar before getting to your “house”, can see “stars” during onsen, free laundry is great, it’s a 5-stars plus experience, must try, 5 minutes drive to Yufuin station

Cons: Location is a bit challenging to find, even search with both telephone no or Mapcode still didn’t locate the exact place, luckily we saw the sign of hotel name when drove by the entrance ramp, otherwise everything else is perfect

Pros: Very nice environment, quiet and discrete. Meals were very tasteful and authentic. Dining rooms were all privately used, didn’t need to share with other residents. Views from room and private hot spring were excellent.

Cons: No hotel transportation to town or train station. Quite a lot of bugs in/outside room. Room maker did not refill the incent on daily basis.

Pros: The best experience i ever had from the food the view the staff and of course the amazing hot spring experience.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: everything was perfect

Pros: We are really like the environment around Shimizu Ryokan, Beautiful nature, hearing waterfall all day all night it's really charging our battery to get ready to go back to work, Staff team was great, very friendly and so kind. The room size is perfect for us and nice view.

Cons: Well, Actually there are noting that I didn't like but just one thing I could recommend. When we sit at the front door, waiting to depart (around smoking area) we can smells toilet smell from time to time when there are some wind to us. If The Ryokan can improve toilet smell in front of the Ryokan, It would be great.

Cons: none.

Pros: Like the view , the people and atmosphere

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: 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 Japanese breakfast and dinner meals were excellent . The entertainment in the evening organized by the host was a bonus and they serenade a farewell song was additional bonus

Cons: There is a period between 1100 hrs until 1600 hrs you have to leave the premise coS there is nobody in. Strange that one cannot stay back

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

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: 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: Staff helpful Nice onsen

Cons: Noisy until after midnight. Then noise from 5.30 am Room wedged between common room, toilets and kitchen meant no sleep Too many people crowded into small house

Pros: Very nature fresh air

Pros: Very friendly. Very clean. Speak English. great breakfast! Nice japanese decor!

Cons: Slightly expensive, but worth every penny!!!

Pros: Very friendly owner, warm n cozy place

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 staff were attentive and caring. Rooms are of good size, very clean and tidy. Outdoor onsen has been built to merge into the environment. Very comfy and nice.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Beautiful property, well maintained and with a lovely staff. Meals were excellent. Although an expensive proposition when you consider the size of rooms, private garden onset, quality and scope of meals provided (Bfast and Dinner) and Taxi transfer included made this good value for a luxury type experience. A must do for any Japan experience/trip.

Cons: I could not fault this property

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: Very good location in the mountain, quiet and good Mountain View. Clean room and good facilities, especially for the outdoor onsen, perfect for any season. Staffs are all warm hearted and helpful. Breakfast and dinner are both very delicious.

Cons: Air-conditioner is not very good. And the actual foods and menu does not exactly match each other.
