Romantic Hotels in Yufu

"Nestled on a hillside behind Yufuin's main Yunotsubo street, this hotel is a convenient ten-minute walk from the main thoroughfare. We booked the half-board option, and both the Japanese-style breakfast and dinner were delicious. The onsen (hot spring) facilities were also excellent, and having two private baths available for reservation was a huge plus. Overall, it offers great value for money."

"The hotel is a 20-minute walk down a secluded road from Yufuin Station. While the location isn't ideal, it's not a huge issue as there's a taxi stand right in front of the station. Getting to the town's main street takes about 15 minutes on foot. If your main purpose for visiting is the hot springs and scenic views, then the walk isn't a problem. When checking in, you'll need to use the name on your reservation. The accommodations consist of individual cottages, and since I was traveling alone, I was able to notice the noise. There's a train track nearby, so you'll hear occasional train noise. If you're sensitive to noise, I recommend bringing earplugs. Inside the room, there's a private entrance to the open-air bath. I suggest taking a shower first before enjoying the open-air bath. If you pay a small bathing fee, you can use the open-air bath at any time, which I thought was a great perk. I advise against going outside the property at night, as the path leading to the hotel is very dark and winding, making it quite dangerous. I spent two pleasant nights at this hotel."

"The room was very pleasant and spacious, and the in-room onsen was very convenient. Both the public and private onsens were excellent, with beautiful views and hardly any other guests. The breakfasts and dinners were delicious; I highly recommend getting the half-board option. The hotel is located in a green area, perfect for walks."

"Came here with friends and the location of this place is absolutely amazing! The room was spacious, and we could walk everywhere to explore. The open-air bath was also a treat! Especially, the staff member on May 7th, who spoke Korean incredibly well, was so kind and helpful. They gave us great recommendations for local restaurants, which really made our trip. I wanted to thank them during checkout, but they weren't there, so I couldn't. We had a wonderful time with friends here!"

"Beyond expectations, truly wonderful! Facilities: Each room at the ryokan is a private cabin with its own outdoor hot spring bath. It features a bedroom, living room, a separate toilet, and a charming indoor courtyard view, making it a truly relaxing space. Cleanliness: The hot spring was very clean, and the bedding in the room was fluffy and comfortable, completely unaffected by the spring rainy season. Environment: The ryokan is 1.4 km from Yufuin Station, so a taxi ride is short. If you don't have luggage, walking is also an option to experience the town of Yufuin, its mountain views, and temples. Inside the ryokan, there's a beautiful garden, and on rainy days, sitting in the restaurant surrounded by lush greenery is delightful. Service: The service for luggage, taxi bookings, and catering to our two meals was excellent. The staff's English was also very fluent. The hot spring water was very hot, perfect for a rainy day."

"For a one-night stay with two meals in Yufuin, this hotel offers a very reasonable price. However, the hot spring itself is quite average; it feels more like heated tap water, and the bath is rather small. The highlight, though, is the private family bath. Since there aren't many guests, you can take your time and relax. Because our room was on the first floor, we had a private outdoor bath. The public and family baths are available to guests staying in rooms on the second floor, which means the family bath isn't too crowded and you don't have to wait. That said, the surrounding greenery isn't particularly appealing, and the overall ambiance is quite ordinary. On the positive side, every staff member was friendly and very helpful, and they also provided shuttle service to and from the train station. The hotel is a bit of a distance from the main hot spring street, so you'll definitely need the shuttle service or a taxi to get around."

"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."
