Traveling to Japan? Find Oita Prefecture hotels

The best hotel I've ever been. If you are looking for a nice place in Oita, this one is the best one you can find. The onsen inside the hotel is very huge and with different types of baths. Try to visit it during the night, you can see the stars while you're taking a relaxing bath. The buffet restaurant is a little bit expensive but the food is excellent. You are allowed to walk inside the hotel installations with a yukata on. Visit also the pools. The hotel is wonderful!

Extremely comfy and quality customer services. Private hotspring was excellent and room was spacious for couple visitors. Meal was delicious and well prepared. View from hotel was also breathtaking One suugestion: can improve on Yufuin Station shuttle pick up service such as stationing shuttle at JR station to pick up customer with ref to train schedule. They can arrange shuttle to pick up upon telephone appointment, but most overseas visitors may only be able to use public phone to appoint adhoc Overall, highly recommended hotel for Yufuin visitor

A bit pricy but definitely worth the money. The location is about 5 minutes by taxi from the Yufuin Train Station...about 700yen. Located around 10 minutes walk from Lake Kirin & famous shopping street. The room is actually a villa with tatami area, 2 Onsen, bedroom & bathroom. We stayed in the Karin villa which is very well designed. The breakfast & bungo steak dinner are a must...very very delicious. The staff are all very helpful. The staff reserved the famous B-Speak rolls which sold out fast for me to pick up. Really appreciate that. They even invited us to watch a traditional show performed by local children. Best hotel we have ever stayed.

This Ryokan is very good! 1. Private traditional bath (Best thing !) 2. Good dining (Gaiseki and breakfast are very recommendable) 3. Good room state (Provides tea&sweets also, and other miscellaneous) 4. Very close to important tourism points and shops but at the same time very silence and country side. It's amazing ! Only problem is their english skills. But they uses tablets as translator.

I never wrote review but the stay here drove me to write this review because it was such an amazing stay! The best stay I have ever had! The room is large, the private hot spring is not big yet it was soooooooo great! great for relax and the house itself is such a beautiful traditional one! The breakfast was just alright (wish they provide dinner though). I am already about to plan going back for a longer stay (i have regreted to book it for one night only right away when I arrived)! super recommend!

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! Wonderful stay, thank you!

The hotel itself is located pretty far from the main part of Beppu. We had rented a car during our trip to Japan so this wasn't a big problem for us, but I would figure that people without a car would have to get a cab to get to the hotel. Aside from the location, other aspects of the hotel are just wonderful. At check-in, we were welcomed by the staff with warm towels and complementary welcome tea at the main lobby, where the full-glass windows reveal a full-span view of the ocean. Females are then taken to a room where you can choose your yukata from a variety of selections (you can even choose the ribbon that wraps around the yukata!). We stayed at the Superior room with open-air bath. The room was spacious with multiple components, including a small tatami room. There are two public baths at the hotel so make sure to check out both! I personally recommend going to the one on the first floor in the morning to watch the sunrise. Overall, would definitely recommend this hotel!!

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 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! 🙈

We stayed for 2 nights - I, my wife and our 3-year old girl are very happy with everything - the room may be a bit small with no shower/bath in room (only wash basin and toilet) but we can see great mountain view and my daughter loves wearing yukata and play in the room. The futons are nice, clean and comfortable. The meals were all excellent and we can feel how ingredients were carefully selected and prepared - even the rice looks and tastes really good, the raw fish and raw chicken are fresh, the Oita wagyu beef (first night dinner was yakiniku style, second night was shabu shabu style) is premium quality. Children dinner set was also big portion and worth paying for. The onsen has both public area (separate room for men and women) and the 2 private rooms - this is special because we could enjoy bathing together as a family and also enjoy the mountain view from the bath. Moreover, it was not too busy and we used the onsen 3 or 4 times during the 2 night stay here.

We at first booked another hotel by 2018.June, but the other hotel changed its policy without noticing us that no child is allowed anymore. I found it just 1 day before my credit card will be charged. So I booked Enokiya Ryokan just one week before. The staffs are very friendly and replied my questions promptly. I am very impressive about their service before I checked in already. We checked in just at 3pm, and the family hot spring is available, so our family had a nice bath and hot spring experience. After dinner, we return back to hotel. The location is beside the river, and very quiet. However, it is not far from the main shopping street. It’s near a supermarket, a 7-11, and just few minutes walk to the lake. The room is big and comfy. My 3yrs boy loves this place and the futon so much that he wants to stay longer. Thanks for hosting, and provide us a quiet and nice place to stay. The house is tradition old Japanese style, but the room is clean and neat. Breakfast tastes really good, we love to miss the egg with hot rice, and adding a little bit of miso. Yummy! We strongly recommended, and sure would love to come back again.

Located about 5 minutes walk from Yufuin Station, next to a river. Hotel staff are very friendly. Even though they speak limited English, it was enough for us to understand each other. They have public and private onsen. The 3 private onsen which are all outdoor are beautiful, so make sure to book when you check-in. We managed to book two session, one at night, and the other in the morning before we check-out. We found one of the onsen a little bit dirty with small debris in the water but it was still a good experience. We didn't use the public onsen as it was kinda small. Breakfast is good. Just a heads-up that the room only has toilet and does not have any shower/bath. You will need to shower/bath in the public or private onsen offered.

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.

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 good English.

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. ขอโทษนะคะเพิ่งหาวิธีพิมพ์ไทยได้ ฝากสำหรับคนที่จะมาพักที่ยุฟุอิน ให้พยายามจองโรงแรมพร้อมอาหารเย็น เนื่องจากว่ายุฟุอินมืดเร็วมากและร้านรวงที่แสนจะคึกคักตอนกลางวันนั้นปิดพร้อมกันหมดในเวลาเย็น เราไม่ได้จองอาหารเย็นที่โรงแรมไว้ มาหาเอาข้างนอกปิดกันหมด เดินจนขาลากเลยตัดสินใจกลับมากินที่โรงแรม พอมาถึงโรงแรมบอกว่าไม่ได้จองล่วงหน้ากินไม่ได้ ระบบญี่ปุ่นมาก เราเลยเดินออกไปหาร้านกินอีกที โชคดีที่เราพูดญี่ปุ่นได้ ไปต่อรองกับร้านอาหารนึงจนเค้ายอมรับเราไปเป็นลูกค้า เข็ดเลย ใครมาเที่ยวยูฟุอิน แนะนำให้จองโรงแรมแบบมีอาหารเย็นไปด้วยนะคะ จะได้ไม่เหนื่อยเหมือนเรา

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!

Due to the rain, we decided to bring the bags to the hotel first (~11:00). Before we left, we asked if we could eat our egg rolls outside the entrance. The lady said why didn't we come in and sit down at their restaurant. She provided us with the plates, forks and knife. Then, asked if we would like to have hot / iced tea. So nice.👍 We have booked the room with open air spa. It is so big with 2 Japanese rooms. The spa is separated from the rooms with appropriate privacy. We may go with the children next time. This is a small hotel with not many guests. Even in the public spa, we haven't met other guests.

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.

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 minded oriented even they can't speak English but eager to help you all the way you are there. Recommended!!

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 trip unforgettable.

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.

Overall it's a nice hotel in Yufuin. It provides big room, good Japanese restaurant and public Onsen. It takes about 10 mins walking to the JR and bus station or the town center. Good location to me since it's away from the tourist area but all the highlights are still in walking distance. We book a Japanese-style room with the view of Yufuin MT. Very big room even with a balcony area in which we can overview the farmland around the hotel and Yufuin MT. The Japanese dinner is rich and delicious. Breakfast is also good and restaraunt service is a plus. The hotel service except the restaurant is soso in terms of Japanese hospitality and serving standard. I've been traveling in Japan many times and it's in acceptable level but not good as usual. Even in this trip for Kyushu, we got better service in other hotels or ryokans. Not a big deal but it needs some improvement in my view.

When you step into the hotel, it’s almost as nice as the pictures that are online. I love the modern/traditional fusion Japanese design of the hotel and the cleanliness of the hotel. Things also look very new, so we felt very comfortable using all the facilities at the hotel and everything in the room. I also love the view of Beppu from the hotel/hotel room(I got a 2nd floor room). But the only downside of having the nice view is the hotel is up on a hill and you have to drive or take taxi to the there. The hotel is around 5-10mins to the town, and I had a rental car, so it was not really a problem for me.

Was really happy with the stay. The price is high if you include food, but I believe it is worth the price. The dinner was incredible "kaiseki" Japanese food. The breakfast was not as outstanding as the dinner, but still good. The room was a large comfortable "washitsu" tatami mat room. The spread out your Futons for you while you are at dinner. The "Onsen" hot spring bath is outstanding. One floor for indoor and one floor for a smaller outdoor onsen with an ocean view. They are open early like 5am and nothing better than an early morning sunrise hot springs looking over the ocean. This is a great place to take a vacation if you can get to Oita area.
