Yufu Hotels with balcony

This is a boutique hotel with only 5 rooms, the small one is more than 70 square meters, and the large one is more than 100 square meters. The price is relatively expensive, but we were fully booked during our stay. The hotel is located in a layered garden with a very sense of design. There is a small green landscape outside each room. The room has a living room, dining room, bedroom, bathroom, toilet, large pool hot spring, shower room and sauna room, and two small platforms. The wine, snacks, ice cream, etc. in the bar are all free. There is also a one-hour free spa. Breakfast is in its own restaurant. We stayed for two nights. The first dinner was in its own restaurant. The second night was in the hotel's exclusive restaurant that was not open to the public. The Japanese chef only served us and our husband. We have absolute private space and will not meet other guests in the hotel. When we checked in, the hotel had just opened for 3 months and was still in the running-in period, but we could feel that the staff were very dedicated and wanted to provide the best service. Our account manager and housekeeper Eliena was very thoughtful, available at any time, and had no problem communicating in English. Question: 1. The room design needs to consider the safety of customers. For example, the bed in the bedroom is on a half-foot high platform. Although there is a floor lamp, it is easy to step on empty space when getting up at night. In addition, there are three steps from the bedroom to the hot spring, bathing and other areas. The steps are cement gray. Although not high, they are easy to be ignored. 2. Although there is a glass partition door, the hot spring water and hot spring related equipment are quite loud at night. It is very uncomfortable to fall asleep on the first night. Guests with sleep problems can negotiate with the hotel to turn off the hot spring at night so that the water will not flow.

We were a family of four staying in a two-story room. Upstairs, there were two bedrooms and a restroom: one tatami room with two futons and another with two single beds. Downstairs, there was a very spacious tatami living room and an outdoor open-air garden. The morning sun streamed into the living room, making it very pleasant. The room also had one indoor and one outdoor hot spring bath, as well as a restroom. The outdoor onsen was large enough for four people to soak together, while the indoor one could accommodate two. We had the kaiseki dinner and breakfast plan, and the food quality was exceptionally high. The dinner featured top-grade wagyu shabu-shabu and premium fresh sashimi – absolutely delicious! The ryokan also had four public onsen baths, divided into two for men and two for women. These baths would swap at midnight, meaning that after men enjoyed their two designated baths in the evening, those same baths would become women's baths after midnight. In the morning, men could then use the two onsen that had been for women the day before. We'll definitely go back in winter if we get the chance, to enjoy the hot springs while admiring the snow.

The feeling of home We did not book dinner and after doing research chose to eat at Golden Lake Breakfast was OK but also grateful to make the right choice not to be there for dinner Because the food is more Japanese if you want to eat traditional Japanese cuisine there may be a gap Between ancient Japanese style and new style hotel design chose this design sense hotel purely because I personally do not like to sleep tatami ground floor The room space is very large comfortable courtyard and bathroom are done enough privacy Overall feeling is very good will stay again next time Self-drive tour in my land so distance is not an issue The hotel also has a free shuttle service

This hotel offers excellent value for money. The environment is beautiful, and the kaiseki cuisine (two meals per night) is delicious and beautifully presented. The onsen (hot spring) is very comfortable; I recommend the public onsen for its even more beautiful view. The private onsen is a bit cramped.

The environment was great, the food was delicious, and everything was perfect. It was also a great way to enjoy the outdoor family hot springs with your partner or spouse. If the weather is nice in the evening, you can even see the stars.

This is a modern accommodation with state-of-the-art facilities in Yufuin. We stayed in a sauna room, and it was fantastic to have both an indoor hot spring bath and an outdoor sauna. The room was very spacious and clean, and the view of the bamboo forest from the living room was truly relaxing. There are two rooms on the second floor with three beds each; since it was just my family of four, we had plenty of space, but it would be ample enough for two families to stay as well. It is a place I would definitely want to stay at again if I visit.

This private hot spring villa was absolutely fantastic for both adults and kids alike! 👍 Before arrival, we received an email with our room number (and corresponding parking spot) and the room access code. Check-in was done smoothly via a machine after entering the room. The four-person room was incredibly spacious, cozy, and comfortable. It featured an outdoor balcony and a fully equipped kitchen (including a dishwasher!). The fridge was stocked with plenty of drinks and alcoholic beverages. We brought groceries back from the supermarket in the evening to cook, and thoroughly enjoyed the very comfortable dining area. The highlight was the constant flow hot spring in our room (24-hour continuous water supply to the tub, with excess water naturally overflowing and draining). The kids immediately stripped down and jumped in as soon as we entered! There was also a sauna room inside, which everyone, both adults and children, absolutely loved. 👍

The villa is a very kind home, it feels warm when you enter the door, and the facilities are very clean. And the location is excellent, walking to Jinlin Lake in the morning is about 5 minutes away, you can enjoy the tranquility before the tour group arrives. The main hot spring street and restaurant are about 5 minutes walking distance, it is highly recommended to travel with parents and can go back to the room to rest. We had a very cold two nights in Yufuin and it was snowing! It was a great pleasure to enjoy the snow in the hot springs at home, but before we enjoyed it, we needed to muster the courage to accept the cold challenge for two or three minutes! Because the hot spring and bathing place are outside the house, you need to walk outside for 30 seconds to 1 minute. If you encounter snow and ice, you may really have to walk slowly. After walking to the cabin, you have to take off your clothes quickly. Then immediately enter the indoor hot spring area and start to wash and reply warm! The hot springs are comfortable, especially the indoor hot springs are very hot and the temperature can be adjusted. The outdoor hot springs may not be hot enough because the weather is cold. We have tried to adjust but it was unsuccessful. Overall it is a good experience, but it is too cold for parents. Usually, parents who like to have been soaking, but only once a day here, they all say it is too cold, although it is only a few minutes cold, it also needs a lot of courage! If you go to the outdoor aisle, the place to change clothes in the hot spring house, and the bathroom location in the villa  There should be a better experience with long-term constant temperature heating ! 

This boutique ryokan, featuring just 11 rooms, is situated a convenient 5-minute drive from Yufuin Station in a peaceful, rustic residential neighborhood. Our spacious, well-maintained ground-floor room featured a private onsen and offered excellent views of Mount Yufu. For those interested, the communal onsen can also be locked for private use and is kept very clean. The staff is accommodating and polite, and the breakfast and dinner provided in the dining area are outstanding. Complimentary parking is available, and the aromatic tea burner in the room was a very pleasant detail.

Love private indoor and outdoor onsen the most. Really relax and nice cute villa. Cozy and good quality of bed sheets/blankets. Only a couple points for improvement. No door code being provided in advance prior to the arrival date and I had to make a call in order to get the access code. I can’t find the light switch in the dining room. Later find out that it was a remote control to turn it on. No instruction. However, overall I like the house especially the private onsen.
