Yufuin Sankouen Hotel
"My first time to yufuin & it's a joyful one while staying at sankouen hotel (oct19) The location may not be very convenient but no issue if you drive. Parking is free!
I booked the room (facing mt. Yufu) very last min and surprised that the cost had covered both breakfast and dinner (18:30)for 2adults2kids, less than USD480! While I was hoping the room and board would be ok given of the price, turned out meals were excellent & portion wise very much enough. Other than public hotspring, there're 8-9 private ones, size r different though yet as there are about 28 rooms in the resorts, the chance of getting a decent and sizeable hotspring place for family is still high. Suggest to take a look of the private onsen one by one and choose the most favorite one. Tips: evening are the busiest time, so you may want to go again after breakfast on the next morning (0730/0800), which I think it's different exp to have hotspring under the daylight.
Check out time is strict at 10am, so wake up early!"Show more

Yufuin Hanayoshi
"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. they went through the questions of what time i wanted dinner and breakfast and what time my transfer into town was to be. be warned, dinner is a kaiseki meal, so be on time! if you are late you'll have no food.
dinner was served at the restaurant as was breakfast. however as i was alone i had a private 'cubicle' on the upper deck which limited my views a little.
my main gripe was that though the ryokan is only a 10 minute drive away from the station, it's really too far to walk back to town to explore. but to get that unspoilt view of the valley and mt. yufu some sacrifices have to be made."Show more

Yufuin-bettei Itsuki Ryokan
"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 and helpful. I deeply appreciate that they tried to arrange a room upon my request although I changed my mind a few times. Actually I suggest that that you do some research on the rooms in advance as each room has different themes.
Lastly, the outdoor hot tub was amazing. We stayed at room YAMAMOMO, and its wooden framed hot spring tub was very spacious and so beautiful. We especially loved that it allowed to control the water temperature very easily by turning the hot and cold water faucets at the same time.
Actually, it was my first trip to Japan, but thank to Itsuki, now I can't wait to revisit Japan!"Show more

Yufuin Ryokan Nogiku
"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 there is a public indoor hot spring for use.
The staff are very nice and helpful indeed. The staff has helped us to fix the wifi in our room and recommend us a very nice local restaurant. Plus, the staff speck good English. :)
We have so much fun in this hostel, and we will surely come back again if we visit to Yufu next time.
If you are looking for a relaxing, quiet place and want to experience traditional Japanese house with a reasonable price, you can definity consider this place."Show more

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 Style)! Service 100% excellent! Meal 100% Baien Style! This is a 100% top onsen hotel in Yufu. Don’t forget to try out the private onsen especially for couple and family use or.... if you are too shy! 🙈"Show more

Yufunogo Saigakukan
"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 top up for the premium set), the outdoor onsen was just as i imagined and they also had 2 private onsens for booking. Note that rooms do not include shower so it is normal for bathes at the onsen. You will not regret the view that comes."Show more

"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 little colder compared to the other towns in Kyushu during summer due to a surroundings (nature)."Show more

"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, same goes with the furniture. Overall one of our best stays yet."Show more

Yufuin Kinrinko Hotel
"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 that the breakfast served. It was served in an elegant art coffee shop just beside the Kinrinko, 5min away from the hotel by feet. So we really had a wonderful morning there, seeing the beautiful scenery beside the lake. If I could go to Yufuin again, I would definitely choose Yufuin Kirinco hotel."Show more

Yawaraginosato Yadoya
"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 Yufuin station to this hotel. The map from website is not clear at all. I suggest you ask the tourist information counter for the map, Japanese people there can speak English. I do recommend this hotel and if I have a channce to be here again, I will definitely choose this plance to stay again.

Oyado Kaikatei Ryokan
"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 like a hot water bath. Yet, we still spent much time enjoying the onsen and idling in the room, which was perfect for our vacation. The upgraded dinner option entailed a set of beef, which tasted extraordinary. However, the rest of the meal was not as good as the meals we had in other onsen-hotels. The staff were welcoming and attentive. They had even prepared us both hot water and cold water for drinking in our house. There was a little leaflet on our house's table, recommending us to go out to see firefly nearby. It was an exceptional experience."Show more

"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 served us can speak good English. She is polite and detail minded. Shuttle car service was provided in the morning to the train station. This is a very thoughtful service.
One thing that made me feel uncomfortable is that we found a big cockroach on the wall when we were having breakfast. Thinking it might have slept with us for the whole night...... well, it wasn't that bad....
Hotel rate is not low, maybe it's due to the delicious food. It would be better value for money if it has open-air hot spring bath in the room."Show more

Yufuin Santoukan
"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 dinner (i am extremely interested about the food they are offering, very fresh very local, it is not cheap in staying here but well worth every penny!)
They have two sets of onsens (total 4 of them), clean and quiet, I enjoyed my every second in these hot bath, though they dont have lovely view facing the sea whatsoever like other onsen.
Location of hotel is rather far away (30mins slow walking from JR Yufu station) but you can enjoy a lot of shopping and local food along the way, so 30mins is not a problem for me. However you can always ask for the hotel to pick you up or drop off at station, if you have big lugguage and do not enjoy walking.
The famous lake is just around the corner, make sure to travel in the morning, it is not a big lake but truly beautiful."Show more

"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 on the streets or in town. The hotel is located a little away from the "main" street. It took 5 minutes by taxi from Yufuin Station and about a 10 minute easy walk. The hotel is surrounded by rice fields with excellent view of Mt. Yufu. There are foot baths just outside the front door of the hotel, and the hotel has bicycles for rent with very scenic almost no traffic bicycle paths along the river. The hotel staff were most happy and helpful with anything we could ask of them. Very friendly and accommodating. They provided a free shuttle ride to the train station. This was a very pleasant hotel even if it was more of a "modern" style building of glass and brick. It was very comfortable in all ways, spacious and a great place to stay. It does not feel closed in or crowded like in the center of town."Show more

"I have been travelling to Japan,including Onsen towns over 15 years. I am loyal user of Agoda.
This is a very shocking experience that Tadaima describes " shared bathroom " is not only no bath/shower in the room but also no toilet!
I read the review, went to the websites, studied all the common rules of Onsen hotels. I understand and am prepared that i booked a room with " shared bathroom". But for a price of USD 140per night, I even booked 2 nights, for every night we stayed like in a dormitory/ YMCA?
Also, the front desk is always closed, nostaff there, including we arrived around 3pm, got back at 7ish pm in the evening or even in the morning 8:30am!!
Always had to wait in front desk or yelled loud to get some staff from the back of front desk, 3 days 2 nights!!!
The public Onsen bath is also not very clean, lack of maintainence. Spider webs, just a couple of bugs, if you want adventure, not vacation."Show more

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 stormy and rain or else Mt. Yufu would be in a beautiful clear view. If anything, this hotel should have very amazing view.
Location wise it's actually about 10-15 min walk from the station and does fee like walking into a more local neighborhood. The 24-hr supermarket is close, but because of how the road is arranged, it requires you to loop around which is not that convenient. A Lawsons is much closer by.
The onsen bath is actually on the 1st and 2nd floor and rotates overnight. The 2nd floor outdoor bath area have clear view of Mt. Yufu too. Bath facility wise it's your average Japanese hotel onsen and not special"Show more

"* 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 mins), but a little bit far from Yufuin Station&Bus terminal. They also offer free shuttle bus service from Yufuin Station between 3pm - 5pm on the 1st day and back to the station between 9 am - 11 am on the 2nd day! You may just contact the reception to make a reservation.
Unfortunately, there's no markets, shops nearby, so you need to get some snacks, beverages before going back there.

Therefore pls provide them your detail completely before the day u arrive so it won't delay ur check in process. Room is spacious and clean. They do provide washing machine and dryer for free but only have 2 units. We didn't manage to try open onsen at the top floor due to typhoon hits Yufuin during our stay.

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 mountain but it’s very easy to get there by taxi (only 5 mins and it’s not expensive only around 8xx yen ). Really nice mountain view especially during sunset. The hot spring is really nice as well.
I also joined the free night tour with my roommate and it was just memorable :)
They will drive you to the JR station from the hostel every morning @ 8:20a.m
Given the affordable price, I will definitely stay here again if I am back to yufuin and I would like to recommend this hostel to all of you :)"Show more

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 bathrooms. They are all outside of the actual living building. All bath facilities have a natural onsen, with one that is outdoors and it is just so good!!! We used the outdoor one on both nights. The only down side was if someone else was using other baths the hot water is very slow.
The host, or owner(?) is a very lovely aged man. Would definitely recommend if you have a car!"Show more

Assi's interior is lovely decorated, neat & clean! Host guided me through the facilities (toilet, bath, pantry items, etc.) and which phone button to dial if I need to contact him. Towels, pyjamas & a thick coat were provided. The only 1 bathroom is a 'house' outside the main building but it is only 1 meter apart. I met only 1 other guest; I did not have to queue to use any facility. Unlike typical 10am check-out time of many Japanese accommodations, Assi's 11am check-out time made my stay more relaxing. Upon check-out, the host once again kindly gave me a ride to Yufuin Station."Show more

Enokiya Ryokan
"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 little colder compared to the other towns in Kyushu during summer due to a surroundings (nature)."Show more

Oufu Ryokan Yufuin Mall
"The master man of this ryokan was very kind and warm. He took us to the nearest convenient store for us at dark night and waited for us who arrived at spring so late because of late airplane plan and highway bus arrival time. And the room condition was clean and good. Moreover, the breakfast was fresh and prepared well with variety foods. We thought and hoped we can visit here once again when we visit Yufu once again someday. Thanks again."Show more

City Hotel Big Bear
"We booked this hotel mainly due to its most attractive rate
compared to all other Yufuin hotels in Agoda. Once arriving at Yufuin station
(we traveled from Hakata station), We were happy to see
that the hotel was very easy to find because it was only
8-10 mins walk from the station (When exiting the station, just walked straight
to the Mount Yufu direction, this hotel was on left side).
Atmostphere of neighboring area was very clean and cool and from
the hotel it was very easy to walk to main handicraft street leading to Lake Kirin.
We had very good experience in renting bicycles to explore the city on the next day
of our visit; bicycles helped us a lot ( far better than our own legs after one day of walking )
About the hotel,considering staying overnight in this lovely city, I can say this hotel
impressed me to a point. However, as the room rate here was the highest in this Northern
Kyushu trip, it might be possible for us to expect more of the hotel. Frankly speaking,I could not say it was the best or the worst because this was my first
time at Yufuin. So I would like to give average points considering there was
everything I need for staying in an average hotel (except for breakfast of course). The hosts were quite nice and welcoming though they could speak English just a little bit.
The room (double room) was clean enough and the bed was quite.
Toilet and shower room were separated and both were small but
sufficient. Only downside of the hotel was the dim atmosphere both in lobby floor,hallway and overall."Show more

"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 recommend for family or 4-5 peoples traveller group. It will have fun within the house."Show more

"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 detail completely before the day u arrive so it won't delay ur check in process. Room is spacious and clean. They do provide washing machine and dryer for free but only have 2 units. We didn't manage to try open onsen at the top floor due to typhoon hits Yufuin during our stay. Overall is a happy stay at Yufuin. Thanks Etavia"Show more

"Very clean and neat room with comfortable futons. Room is a bit small for 3 persons but we didn't mind as it's very cozy and warm. The toilet in the room is clean. Was told that the ryokan is 10 years old, but everything is well maintained. There are 3 onsen with doors that come with a lock for the guests to use. We were the only guests on the night when we checked in, so we got to use the 3 onsen individually. The owner is very kind, friendly and warm. He made hot and tasty coffee for us the next morning and tried his best to chit chat with us even though he couldn't speak English well. He even plucked some Oita lemons for us to try and bring home. The place gets dark after 6pm so it's good to check in before it turns dark. Very quiet at night but it's totally safe. Not forgetting to mention that there are free ice cream for the guests to take. We rented a car and had no problem finding the ryokan using GPS. We will go back to stay in this ryokan if we were to visit Yufuin again!"Show more

Yufuin Sankouen Hotel
"My first time to yufuin & it's a joyful one while staying at sankouen hotel (oct19) The location may not be very convenient but no issue if you drive. Parking is free!
I booked the room (facing mt. Yufu) very last min and surprised that the cost had covered both breakfast and dinner (18:30)for 2adults2kids, less than USD480! While I was hoping the room and board would be ok given of the price, turned out meals were excellent & portion wise very much enough. Other than public hotspring, there're 8-9 private ones, size r different though yet as there are about 28 rooms in the resorts, the chance of getting a decent and sizeable hotspring place for family is still high. Suggest to take a look of the private onsen one by one and choose the most favorite one. Tips: evening are the busiest time, so you may want to go again after breakfast on the next morning (0730/0800), which I think it's different exp to have hotspring under the daylight.
Check out time is strict at 10am, so wake up early!"Show more

"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 top up for the premium set), the outdoor onsen was just as i imagined and they also had 2 private onsens for booking. Note that rooms do not include shower so it is normal for bathes at the onsen. You will not regret the view that comes."Show more

"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 to inform or inform them once you check in. As long as the ryokan knows before the start of the meal, safe!"Show more

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 Japanese and his limited English wordings. He was so pleased to see we finished every dish and even not a single drop of soup was left out from the dinner."Show more

Oyado Kaikatei Ryokan
"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 like a hot water bath. Yet, we still spent much time enjoying the onsen and idling in the room, which was perfect for our vacation. The upgraded dinner option entailed a set of beef, which tasted extraordinary. However, the rest of the meal was not as good as the meals we had in other onsen-hotels. The staff were welcoming and attentive. They had even prepared us both hot water and cold water for drinking in our house. There was a little leaflet on our house's table, recommending us to go out to see firefly nearby. It was an exceptional experience."Show more

Yufuin Santoukan
"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 dinner (i am extremely interested about the food they are offering, very fresh very local, it is not cheap in staying here but well worth every penny!)
They have two sets of onsens (total 4 of them), clean and quiet, I enjoyed my every second in these hot bath, though they dont have lovely view facing the sea whatsoever like other onsen.
Location of hotel is rather far away (30mins slow walking from JR Yufu station) but you can enjoy a lot of shopping and local food along the way, so 30mins is not a problem for me. However you can always ask for the hotel to pick you up or drop off at station, if you have big lugguage and do not enjoy walking.
The famous lake is just around the corner, make sure to travel in the morning, it is not a big lake but truly beautiful."Show more

"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 on the streets or in town. The hotel is located a little away from the "main" street. It took 5 minutes by taxi from Yufuin Station and about a 10 minute easy walk. The hotel is surrounded by rice fields with excellent view of Mt. Yufu. There are foot baths just outside the front door of the hotel, and the hotel has bicycles for rent with very scenic almost no traffic bicycle paths along the river. The hotel staff were most happy and helpful with anything we could ask of them. Very friendly and accommodating. They provided a free shuttle ride to the train station. This was a very pleasant hotel even if it was more of a "modern" style building of glass and brick. It was very comfortable in all ways, spacious and a great place to stay. It does not feel closed in or crowded like in the center of town."Show more

"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 stormy and rain or else Mt. Yufu would be in a beautiful clear view. If anything, this hotel should have very amazing view.
Location wise it's actually about 10-15 min walk from the station and does fee like walking into a more local neighborhood. The 24-hr supermarket is close, but because of how the road is arranged, it requires you to loop around which is not that convenient. A Lawsons is much closer by.
The onsen bath is actually on the 1st and 2nd floor and rotates overnight. The 2nd floor outdoor bath area have clear view of Mt. Yufu too. Bath facility wise it's your average Japanese hotel onsen and not special"Show more

It is conveniently located next to Yufuin's main drag, which has stalls for the most amazing food and stores.

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 to try it.
The room is simple, old-style Japanese room. At about 15000 yen for the room it was a good value for money, considering you come with a car."Show more

"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 so amazing. The breakfast was satisfying and also light enough that I had energy for the whole day. The dinner was so great too ( I just wish I had a bigger stomach).
I don't usually write reviews. In fact this is my first review but this place was so excellent I had to post about it.
I think every time I return to Japan from now on I will make time to reserve a room for a few days here. I could feel my stress from work melting away the moment we entered our room.
