Hotels near Yufuin Hot Spring, Yufu

The location is very convenient - close to the station and the bus terminal. The staff is friendly and polite. The room was clean (it was very small, but it was enough for me, because I was alone), the view from the window was pleasing) Cleaning was done once a day (with replacement of yukata, towels, toiletries and trash removal). Three onsen - on the 1st, 3rd floors and on the roof. I visited two - on the roof (it is VERY hot, but it was still great! Photo No. 2) and on the 3rd floor (it is also essentially in the open air, not as hot and also great, photos No. 3 and 4). Reservation of the time to visit the onsen was upon check-in (plus from a certain time all onsens worked as public, with free access). P.s. The local cats are adorable! 😊

Located a convenient 10 minute walk from Yufuin station, Sansuikan is a great option if you're looking to treat yourself for a night. There are free flow snacks and drinks (including alcohol) in the lobby, and the dinner and breakfast are all-you-can-eat buffet style, also with free flow drinks. There are two onsens, M/F on the 1st/2nd floor and they swap service twice daily. Both floors have outdoor onsen (rotenburo) but the 1st floor onsen is much larger and includes a sauna. Do note the buffet signages were in Japanese only, so you may need to approach the staff for assistance if you aren't fluent. (Their staff are fluent in English.) Overall I was quite impressed with the experience for the price point. Would come back next time 😊

The hospitality was incredible from the moment we arrived, and the property itself is very charming. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize beforehand that guests with tattoos are not allowed in the onsen or sauna, which limited my overall experience and prevented me from enjoying it fully. Dinner was delicious, but I was a bit surprised that at least one beer was not included, only soft drinks were, and I had to pay extra for it. The room was beautifully arranged, although the view was not very special since it faced a Daihatsu parking lot. We noticed a small detail with the cleaning, but overall everything was very good and I truly appreciated the warm service.

The scenery is beautiful. The road from the station is flat. You can rent the hot springs privately, so you can enjoy them in privacy. Yukatas are provided, which is a nice touch. The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was really delicious. However, most of the surrounding shops close after 9 p.m. Walking back and forth is painful, and there's no lighting, so I recommend resting at your accommodation. I was so sad that I went out for a drink alone one evening, but I almost died. The location is also great: Kinrin Lake to the top and Unagihime below. First, take a photo of Unagihime Shrine, then head to Busanji, and then Kinrin Lake and Tenso Shrine. Then, you'll see the bustling downtown area on the way back to the station. Next, I'd like to visit the left side of Yufuin. I was short on time because I tried to squeeze so many places into two nights and three days. It would be a good idea to visit the left side of Yufuin on the first day, stay at Hikari no Ie, then visit the right side, and then follow Silky Road to Beppu.

The town was quiet and uncrowded, and very clean. The Kaiseki dinner was absolutely delicious. While the hotel's facilities aren't the newest, they are impeccably clean. The large communal hot spring bath was never crowded, making for a truly comfortable and relaxing soak. It's a beautiful and very peaceful onsen ryokan.

A very comfortable, clean, and warmly attended hot spring inn. I would definitely choose this inn again next time I visit. I felt completely relaxed as soon as I checked in. The room was filled with the aroma of tea, which was very soothing and relaxing. The staff were also very helpful and welcoming. Perfect for couples, families, or solo travelers.

The hotel staff are mostly Korean, and the owner is also Korean. We booked a triple room on the first floor, which was conveniently close to the outdoor onsen. The room itself was spacious and clean. The onsen was also excellent. We visited on a weekday, and it seemed like there were only two groups of guests, including us. It felt like we had the dining area and the onsen all to ourselves. Aside from briefly seeing them at the front desk, we didn't encounter the other guests at any other time. We had booked a package that included dinner. The dinner was a delightful, multi-course Japanese meal (kaiseki-style), where each dish was introduced and served individually, only after the previous one was finished. Upon departure, a complimentary shuttle service to the station was provided. However, getting there upon arrival was a bit tricky; we had to take a taxi (around 1000 JPY) as it involved an uphill walk, and it was quite hot. Walking would have taken 30-40 minutes. The hotel is a convenient 10-15 minute walk from Kinrin Lake and the 'Fairytale Village.' You could easily visit these attractions in the morning, return, and then check out before departing. If you need to do laundry, there's a coin-operated laundromat a 7-8 minute walk away (as shown in Pic 4). For those who prefer to buy their own breakfast, a convenience store is a 10-minute walk, conveniently located on the way to Kinrin Lake.

The most unforgettable moment of my trip to Yufuin was my stay at Oyado Kaikatei Ryokan. From the moment I checked in, the staff's bright smiles and meticulous attention to detail truly impressed me. Each member of staff genuinely welcomed me, making me feel as if I was visiting family I'd known for years. The room was impeccably clean, and I was impressed by the attention to detail. The refined Japanese interior calmed my mind, and the tranquil scenery of Yufuin outside the window was truly healing. And the meal... was truly unforgettable. Each kaiseki meal, meticulously prepared, was a truly unforgettable experience, a sight, a smell, and a taste. The delicate dishes, made with seasonal ingredients and beautifully presented, brought a smile to my face throughout the evening. More than anything, the staff's warm service was truly impressive. They were attentive to even the smallest requests and went above and beyond to make the fatigue from my trip disappear in an instant. Thanks to this kind of attentive hospitality, my time in Yufuin will be even more special and memorable. The next time I visit Yufuin, I will return here without hesitation. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone at Oyado Kaikatei Ryokan for providing such a wonderful and warm stay. 🌸 In the middle of the day, let's go to the heart, let's go, 「おやど開花亭」での滞在でした。 チェックインの瞬間から、スタッフの皆さんの笑顔と温かいおもてなしに感㋕しまWhen you change your mind, you can see it in the original form and see it in your family.きました. お部屋は隅々まで清潔で、細やかな気配りがㄟじられました。落ち着いた和の空間に包まれ、窓から見える由布It's like a breath of fresh air and it's like healing the heart. そして、お料理は本当に素晴らしかったです。 After eating, eating, eating, eating, eating, drinking, eating, drinking, eating, drinking, eating, drinking, eating, drinking, eating, drinking, eating, drinking, eating, drinking, eating, drinking, eating, drinking, and eating. 、See, see, see, see, see, see, see and seeいて、Taste is good and refreshing is good.

This is my second ryokan, and I didn't like it. They didn't offer me standard tea when I checked in. When they checked me into my room, they didn't tell me the rules and nuances. If this had been my first ryokan, I would have been completely lost as to what to do. The hotel has no grounds, the photos are just the paths to the rooms from the outside. The onsen was not bad, but there was a constant smell of some kind of kerosene. The kaiseki is ok, but for some reason they don't explain what they bring and how to eat it properly. They put the beef on to boil, and no one said that the dish was ready and you can eat it!!! Just figure it out yourself. The same thing happened at breakfast - if you don't ring the bell and don't bother the waiters, you'll eat at the wrong time and it's cold and tasteless - again, we're talking about the fact that you may not know anything about the rules for preparing these dishes, and they don't bother to explain. When they write that there is a transfer from the station, it is only at a certain time, and not when it is convenient for you.

I feel that any words can't express my wonderful experience, maybe it's more appropriate to use pictures. The Imperial Su is located in a calm countryside, there are not many tourists this season, the house is very new, there are 7 rooms, each yard has a private soup. According to the waiter, they have another old store nearby. This shop was originally a restaurant, so the meal was perfect, the visual feast plus the taste bud feast, I can say my luck is too good.
