Yufuin Onsen Toshoan

This was my first time staying at Tojoan in Yufuin, and I had a wonderful experience. The environment was comfortable, the staff were courteous, and the service was excellent. The private in-room onsen was incredibly relaxing, and I thoroughly enjoyed my evening. I'll definitely choose Tojoan again next time I visit Yufuin.

The pictures of the private onsen bath in the room weren't very detailed, so I was a bit worried I'd end up with just a regular tub when I really wanted a true onsen ryokan experience. But it far exceeded my expectations! I'd honestly want to visit Yufuin again just for this place, even more so than Fukuoka. Since we were in the main building, they served our multi-course meals directly to our room, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy everything in privacy. It felt incredibly worthwhile, even at the higher price. The in-room onsen was excellent! The only minor downside was the noise from people stomping around on the floor above us.

The hotel covered the cost of two taxi rides, and the scenery was absolutely stunning. Dinner and breakfast were delicious too – a truly great experience! The service was excellent, and the hot springs were also very good.

The staff were responsible and polite, and the place was clean and quiet!

While the hotel's location is somewhat secluded, requiring a car or taxi to reach, this very fact contributes to its extremely tranquil environment, making it perfect for guests seeking peace and quiet. The hotel boasts exquisite and comfortable design, and the staff are both friendly and professional. The dining experience was a pleasant surprise; dinner was exceptional. What's even more thoughtful is that some beverages are complimentary, and you can even swap items. Even the drinks in the in-room mini-fridge are provided free of charge. As for the private hot spring bath, it was impeccable – an excellent experience that I wholeheartedly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic! Highly recommended! The dishes were exquisite, and the setting was truly wonderful. Waking up early the next day, the surrounding scenery was like a picturesque oil painting, and we even caught a glimpse of the Yufuin no Mori train as it passed by.
