Where to stay in Yufu
Yufu hotels & accommodations
there are essentially two types of villas - the standard japanese villa and the 'hybrid' villa which has western style beds. my villa was large by japanese room standards. two rooms, each 6 tatami mats. this excluded the bathroom and toilets, the indoor tub and the garden and out door tub. check in was a breeze even though the staff did not speak much english. th...
First of all, everything is so beautiful! we were so fascinated with its fantastic interiors- the lobby, room and outdoor hot spring tub, dining room, and all the details. Especially, the dishes were so beautifully decorated that I felt like I was dining at a luxury finest restaurant. Of course the taste was the best ever! Needless to say, the staffs are very kind an...
It was second time to visit Yufuin. This Ryokan was real great! Of course it looks same with pictures and host was soooo nice and kind! Especially the privite spa was amazing! If i have a chance to visit Yufu again, I want to stay that Ryokan again!
The place is quiet and relaxing, with good location for sightseeing around; though it takes around 10 mins walk from the Yufu JR train station. The staff is very nice indeed and we were very lucky to be upgraded to deluxe room. The room is huge and clean, and with private outdoor hot spring( In deluxe room, I'm not sure if there is one in the standard room). And ther...
The hotel lobby is cozy decorated with many crafted wooden ceiling and furniture. The staffs are not many but you can tell they make the best of their jobs. It's my first time trying Japanese 會席料理, we are satisfied with chef's hard work. All dishes were like an art piece. Thanks!! Hot spring are amazing, you can enjoy the quietness and stars above the sky! Wonderfu...
Trip 9th to 14th Nov, Yufu, Beppu and Hakata. First night staying at Hotel Baien. Late check in at 7:15pm due to highway bus fully booked until 5:00pm. Once check in, we were brought to the dinning floor! (They know us..... we are starving!). Dinner was so nice! Around 9:00pm, finished our dinner, we were shown to the facilities (hot spring area) and our room (Japanese...
Based on the price for a night (as compared to the top few in Yufu), inclusive of kaiseki dinner and breakfast and their onsen with a view, this place was one of my top picks while deciding on ryokans in Yufu. The service was by Japanese standards, the food was mind-blowingly amazing (room price includes the standard course dinner but you can write in to the hotel to t...
the best hotel compared with my other stays in kyushu (beppu and fukuoka). The hotel was located next to the river and gives the view of mt. yufu from the walking path in front of the hotel. 15 minutes walk from the JR Yufuin Station, 670¥ by taxi. 10 minutes walk from the hotel to Kirin lake. Private onsen can be used at the hotel for every type of rooms. Yufuin was a...
We stay in the japanese style room with open air spa. It was a pleasant stay. Location is a bit far from station by walking but the hotel does provide the shuttle service which is good. The dinner and breakfast is delicious too.
Wonderful place with really good and kind staff. Its a bit away from the main streets of yufu but still close enough to get there effortlessly. A great feature of this place is the distance to a supermarket just a few buildings away. Private bath is also exceptional but please mind the customs. The only flaw is that the rooms are a bit dated with some signs of wearing,...
It was my first time to go to kyushu and Yufuin. At the first time, actually we didn't know what kind of hotel would be good for me and my friend to have a package travel there. But we all think we made a good decision to choose Yufuin kirinko hotel. The staff there was really friendly and the room was really wide than we could imagine. The best thing I have to say is ...
Excellent Hotel. The lobby is beautiful, free drinks at the lobby area, there is a shared kitchen in case you want to cook or microwave something. There are 4 private onsens, guests take turn to use them. Booking required at some timings and not required at some timings. Open air foot bath, hotel atmosphere, rooms, all nicely done. Most of the hotel staff speak go...
I had pleasant stay here. It was my first time in Yufuin and my first time of my parents in Japan. We've been in Japan for 6 days and Yufuin night at Tawaraginosato Yasoda was the best. I don't mind the public onsen but my family never experienced onsen so it's great the hotel has private onsen and that made this trip even more special! It takes about 15 minute from Yu...
There is actually pickup service but when I wrote in to ask about it, the ryokan did not reply me. So we dragged our luggage up the slope... There are English, Mandarin speaking stuff so communication isn't a problem for people who do not speak Japanese. Best facilities, fantastic food, good service and if you have special food preference, you can either write in early...
When you choose to travel to Japan, one thing you would expect to experience must be the high level qualitative service. In this hostel that is definitely something you can experience. When we walked in the doorway, the staff opened the door with smile and greeted us in Japanese. Though we don't speak Japanese, we could sense that he was trying to explain everything in...
We had a half-board stay with upgraded meal and private onset. The room was beyond our expectation. The design for Oyado Kaikatei Ryokan was a like a village and each guest could have a house of their own, including a sitting room, bedroom, bathroom, a tea-area, an indoor onsen and an outdoor onsen. The water in the onsen was slightly salty but we felt like its more li...
three doors seperated the room into three space so the size of the room was so big for 1 person. Private onsen bath in my room was the best point of here. Its size was enough for 2 people and it has a window so that I could see mountain view in bath. Room was so clean and useful amenity was equipped well. I want to visit here again someday.
The greeting board in front of hotel shows your name once check in . Wow !! then a welcome hot tea and mochi after finishing check in . I never get this kind of service in Japan before!! The room with a view of Yufuin valley is waiting for your waking up. In room free service with a tea set and of course the snack. Public on-sen is provided. Staff is services minde...
This is the best place that I have ever stayed in Japan. I booked a room of three with breakfast and dinner. The food is so delicious that you will never forget it. The room is spacious with a private onsen. The staff who serves us is so polite and helpful that I really miss her. If I go to Yufuin again , I will definitely choose this place because it will make my tri...
WONDERFUL STAY! The hotel is very close to the famous lake and within short walking distance if you want to see the best scene of the late in the morning. Room is spacious with hot spring bath tub. Dinner and breakfast are served in the room. They are very very delicious and beautifully presented. Hotel service is wonderful and impeccable. The pretty lady that serve...
I had stayed there for one night, which I have greatly regret because I just so much love the beautiful atmoshere and those wonderful indoor and outdoor onsen, I should have stayed two nights next time. Hotel itself is not huge but service is truly magnificient. Cheerful and personal, extremely patient in answering all sorts of questions about the gourmet breakfast and...
We stayed at Shuhokan for 2 nights while in Yufuin. We would definitely stay here again! The staff was very helpful with english speaking. The rooms were quite large and comfortable with a small refrigerator, furo style tub, and wi-fi in the room. Breakfast cost was additional and although a little expensive it was well worth it. It is difficult to find breakfast ...
Good and clean room, staffs is really kind. I feel they do their best to the guest. I was fully enjoy and had rest whole day. However, I got annoyed by a young lady who took photo in the hot spring.
The staff of this inn is very nice and perfectly serve us with service mind. The room is clean and private onsen on the roof top with scene of Mt. Yufu is very fantastic. Dont miss this inn when you stay in Yufuin.
I staying at this hotel with the no dinner option. The price is good and it still includes a decent breakfast. The hotel does NOT have none smoking rooms. However, the room we stayed at was cleaned to perfection and does not have any lingering cigarette smell ***other reviewers do have bad experience with some other rooms*** Unfortunately the day I stay was very st...
* Best service including various kinds of meals with a reasonable price * They're really considerate from the start when trouble with communication. They even called a interpreter to explain detailed things. All meals they service are much better than outside restaurants in the downtown in my opinion. It's located within walking distance of Kinrinko lake(appx. 15 mi...
After a hot day in town, a welcomed retreat. The hot bath was nicely built and outside. The food was excellent. Only a short 5 minute taxi ride up to near the base of the mountain. I think it's also the best western hotel in the area.
Worth the money especially during Japan holiday. Easy to find just in front of the JR station at your right hand side. But you need to carry your luggage to first or second floor without lift. Don't have any staff at the counter and you have to check in via videocall. They will provide password to unlock the room after video call end. Therefore pls provide them your de...
The onsen is big enough for two men and stylish. All the staff are nice and helpful . The only improvement would be the communication over email could be more details and informative . And dinner could be giving more choices or side dishes would be fantastic.
Old house in a small village. Typical Japanese style rooms, some with shared showers. - four beautiful private onsen. 2 indoor 2 outdoor. Availability can be seen on the tv in your room. Ryokan was fully booked during our stay but we never had a problem getting the onsen we wanted in the morning and evening. We also showered at the onsen so no shower in the room is no...
Cheap places to stay in Yufu
It was one of my favourite places to stay through out Japan. The room is very clean and tidy. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. They’ll tell you everything very clearly at the counter when you check in, i.e the dinner time, when to check out…etc. The dinner was very delicious ( which you have to order in advance ) They located half way up a mou...
Surrounded by lots of bamboo and trees. Staff is friendly and the environment is quite good for a vacation.
It is family oriented B&B hotel. We are a group of 4 traveling around the Kyushu. Yufuin is one of our favour place in Kyushu, a quiet place and beautiful. The room is big and very comfortable. There are 2 private onsen open 24 hours you can enjoy onsen anytime you want. The onsens are small but it is big enough for 2-3 people at a time. We enjoy the private onsen so ...
I arrived Yufuin hungry and had dinner at a noodle restaurant near the Yufuin Bus Terminal. It was dark by the time i finished dinner. Restaurant staff helped me call Yufuin Assi. Host was very kind to pick me up from Yufuin Station. The car ride was ~5 minutes to a residential area. Without this ride, I would had been lost pushing my luggage along the dark country ro...
Very good service, nice old lady with very polite manner. Even we don't know Japanese, she still try her best to satisfied our request, we really enjoyed her warmest service in our stay.
Two bad things: 1) the address doesn’t work on the car navigation and we got completely lost. Luckily a local found us and guided us there with his bike; 2) the room was not luxurious but super comfortable. This place is super cute. All bathrooms and toilets are shared but they only have about 8 rooms so not a lot of people there at the same time. There are 3 bathroom...
Too far from yufu station but pick-up service is good. Too far from main street but you can lent hasuwa's bycicle. (but hard to find the shops and hard to go back to hasuwa even with a google map) Air conditioner is too weak(or old) to deep summer. And no shower in onsen. But i'm satisfied 80% because they are so kind, room and amenities are clean, and cheaper then ot...
It's about 10-15 mins walk from the train station and a bit far from the tourist spots, but walking around the area is relaxing in itself because of the provincial feel and fresh air. The hotel looks really nice and clean, and their hot spring bath are all private. They give you a link to a website where you can check if the baths are in use or not. The room we booked ...
Cosy place with free bike rental. Finding the place with a car is convenient but be mindful of narrow roads heading to the house. Staff can speak well english and very helpful. 5 mins walk to yufu main street. Shops closes at 5pm. Placegets very quiet when night comes. You can find dinner by driving to Yufu Station where restaurants generally opens till 10pm. Love ...
It takes about 30 min walk up to the hotel. It is hard if you have large baggage. No fridge and no microwave inside the room. Public toilets are clean and tidy.
the host are police and helpful. a common room .ca be used for eating
Hanasen is the best! Super delicious food cooked by Hanasen. sweet cat, beautiful view, don't want to leave! If I will travel Yufuin next time, surely I will stay here again. Highly recommended!
Its a nice and comfortable place for a retreat. The place also offers 2 family baths indoor and gender separate baths outdoors, which is refreshing after returning from the climb at Mt Yufu. Staff is friendly and approachable, also offering help to bring out our luggages and took photos for us. Will be returning guest in future.

In conclusion, i have gotten more than my expectation. The staff are very nice. everythings are well prepared. i will recomment this hostel to my friend if they want to visit the same place.
The owner was so kind and helpful! She had many maps of the area with good spots to see nice things and places to eat marked. She was really friendly. The room was so lovely and clean. Looks very new. Would love to stay here again sometime!
Excellent location - 20 meters from Yufu train station. Room size - 2 beds with living room area with sofa that can sleep 1 more. dining on 3rd floor or BBQ great breakfast for1,000 yen

It is super very amazingly quiet place, because this hotel does not accept people with child or children. There are three private spas that even 4-6 people can get in. one is outdoor spa, and two are indoor spa. (outdoor one is smaller than indoor one.) It seems that there are (maybe) 8 rooms in this hotel. So if you check in this hotel early, you can use spa as muc...
Living in this hotel is a good experience. Beside of the location is a bit far from the main street, others are good. The private outdoor onsen was great. And dinner there were great. Good taste and presentation. Staffs are heart warming and tried their best to provide good service.
There included all kitchenware, microwave, gas gills, you can enjoy cooking with family. But the point this you need to prepare all the foods before you coming here. Since near the hotel is nothing, even supermarket you will need to drive to the downtown. The staff are very very nice, English speak ok. Big bath room and have a private outside area with a camp table. I ...

The price may seem steep but you get what you pay for. From the time you get there until you leave, you are treated like you are the only guests in the entire hotel. Price includes dinner (kaiseki - 9 course traditional Japanese meal) and breakfast. Private hot springs baths both indoor and outdoor in our room along with public baths provide the utmost in relaxation. ...
Staying at Yufu Ryochiku was really awesome! Room was very neat and clean and foods were amazingly yummy. All staffs were very friendly - although their English was not great, they tried very hard to communicate with guests. The place is in the middle of the main street so very easy to locate and it was near to everything. If you want a perfect stay at Yufuin, this pla...
I have been to yufuin twice and this time I had stayed this ryokan first. To me, this ryokan is very calm and clean, onsen is well equipped. Furthemore, breakfast is really fresh and tasty. Location is little far from the downtown but you can get there by walk within 20min. Next time I will visit this ryokan again. IT IS BEST RYOKAN!! 유후인에서 정말 최고의 료칸입니다. 요리가 정말 맛잇고, 전...
Staying at Shimizu Ryokan was a very nice experience. The owner and staffs are super kind, friendly and helpful, the environment is quiet with beautiful nature, the room is traditional Japanese style and super large, traditional Japanese food is tasty. Public hot spring is very unique and the private one is also nice. Though the location is a bit far from the town, t...
What you pay is what you get. Breakfast and Dinner courses are of good standards. The room I booked came with a private authentic looking hot spring bath. The staffs are friendly and accommodating especially Ms Zhang. Keep up the good work guys!
It was so nice choice for private hot spring. I enjoyed the private hot spring on a rainny night. It was awesome feeling free in the hot spring and so calm with the raining sound. I went to sleep very quckly. Also it had frash airs in the next morning and I like the small garden with lovely flowers. The food are good and it was yammy The best thing is the big w...
The hotel is far away from Yubuin center area, need a taxi to get their and a little bit hard to call taxi out. The hostess is very kind to give us a ride to Yubu mountains. The around environment is very very beautiful and the hot spring is wonderful. Although only one lady to do the room service but everything is neat and clean. They provide sufficient free snack...
The hotel offer pick up service from JR station, you may contact the hotel via their official website. Staff were friendly and could speak in English and Putonghua. No problem in communication. Welcome snacks and drink were provided when you check in. The room was spacious and come with 2 hot spring pools. The view from room was stunning. You may also choose to...
It's a nice affordable Ryokan close to Yufuin. Only 5 minutes with the car, it still is about 30 minutes walking so it's a bit difficult to reach on foot. There are no private onsen in the rooms, but there are 2 nice family onsens which makes it very close to being private when only 2-3 rooms are booked. Food needs to be reserved beforehand so we didn't have a chance t...
I've never had such an amazing experience. All the staff were so nice, classy, friendly and professional. They helped us navigate around Yufuin and we're practically mind readers when it came to our needs. The room was the best I've ever tried. I love the architecture and the private onsen is the best I've ever had. Extremely clean and well maintained. The food was...

Very nice place to relax, advise to order dinner in hotel in Yufuin as most shops and restaurants closed after 5pm
I love nature. Yufuin is only small townn so I stayed here only 1 night. I should have stayed here more.
very nice place with nice people. have many good restaurant nearby. can eat different style of food with reasonable price.
Nice small tourist town. Good for relaxing. Surrounded by nature, mountain, Kirin lake. Nice and friendly people.
Find a bicycle and ride around the town. The town is not so big. You can spend the whole day enjoying nature and another day at the walking street where you can enjoy shopping some gifts and good food or snacks.
Beautiful place for relaxation and spa and onsen. The hand made buck wheat noodle was fantastic though a little expensive.
Come early, since most shops close at 5pm. Nice leisurely stroll through the shopping street, with many omiyage, snack stores.
First,spa is very nice. Second,there're lots of small shops attracting young women. But there's nothing to do at night.
Yufuin is a small nice town to walk around and explore. There are many shopss selling crafts along the way.
Small, tranquile and slow pacing town. Wish we could spend more time there instead of only 2 days 1 nights.
Yufu hotels with breakfast
They gave us clear instructions and we had a pleasant stay.
The room and bathroom were spacious and impeccably clean.
All thing(service, meal, waterpool, view...) is fantastic!
Our room was spacious and had a private bamboo garden.
The staff was fantastic and made sure our stay was great.
We love the option to have the private onsen for us.
So that’s why I said we really really had a great time here!
Nevertheless the onsen are a nice touch
The meal is the best I had for the hot spring hotel ever!
I would like to recommend to stay this Enokiya Ryokan.
Enjoyed the outdoor onsen which can see the Kinrinko lake.
