Yufu hotellia

Plussat: Everything’s perfect. I’ll definitely return. Private onsen is the best.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: This place is just a hidden paradise in Yufuin! So lovely, picturesque, quiet, clean and beautiful. I have been to Japan 3 times and stayed in a number of ryokans, and so far this is one of the best experience in a ryokan I have ever had. When you enter the place you are immediately transferred to another world - that of some old folk Japanese tales. This ryokan can very well be a good location for some historical movie :) Me and my sister want to give our warm gratitude to the Mistress of the ryokan who was so kind and helpful to us. She drew a map and explained in details what are the best places to dine and shop at, and helped us with reservations. All the staff is very polite, friendly and helpful. The rooms are sparking clean and beautiful. The yukata and haori are lovely, and we even got a helping hand in tying our obi in a proper way :) And of course a separate admiration of ours was the private onsen with a small beautiful garden and a view of mountains - such a luxury!!! The location is also perfect. It's a little away from the crowded streets - hence no noise, but it's still a comfortable walking distance from all the points of interest and the train/bus station. This place is highly recommended for couples, solo travelers and small groups of travelers.

Miinukset: Absolutely nothing.

Plussat: Superb hospitality by the staff. The room is very clean and quiet. We really enjoyed our stay and regret that we only booked one night. We hope to visit Yufuin again and stay here again.

Miinukset: It is a walkable distance from the main shopping street. The supermarket nearby does not accept credit card so we had to go to another supermarket further away.

Plussat: The open air bath is really nice. Supermarket and convenience store nearby. The staff are nice and very helpful. The room is so comfy.

Plussat: Great service, very cosy and clean accommodation, the in-room private onsen is more spacious and comfortable than I expected. Highly recommend!

Plussat: The hot spring and food is excellent

Miinukset: The place is a bit difficult to find. You cannot get there without a car. Suggest to attach a map telling how to drive there.

Plussat: The guest house located in the small village which makes it a very quiet place for relaxing. The hosts are nice and capable of speaking basic English. The dinner is fantastic, a litter bit too much:) The hot spring is wonderful since you could use several spa privately, two spa places are outdoor with rock and green plant, which bring you very natural spirit. The shuttle service is also very convenient for people traveled by train. Highly recommend!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Absolutely recommended!! Two outside onsen were comfortable. Food was great too! I really loved peanut tofu that was made here in yunohira. I will miss it.. Senbe in the room was also yunohira-made. It was also selling yunohira-made ice cream! The fact that the ryokan is supporting local community was extremely meaningful. It would have been better if the selling signs for ice cream was written in English. Then I would have bought it here in ryokan rather than the outside shop..lool Everything was perfect!

Miinukset: Everything was perfect!

Plussat: very good and tasty

Miinukset: location is a bit far fm the city centre

Plussat: Very good services and great dinner.

Plussat: - Private onsen baths, you can lock the door when you are using it. - Really yummy Japanese food cooked by the owner and family. - Their hospitality and attentiveness is top-notch.

Plussat: Excellent property Amazing food Great hospitality Best Ryokan we have stayed in Nice private onsens

Miinukset: Nothing maybe some of bathrooms could be updated as look a bit tired

Plussat: The host is very friendly and hospitable. The Ryokan food for dinner is absolutely delicious! Very warm and cosy ryokan. We all love it. Owner saw we have lots of luggage and offered to send us to the bus station. much appreciated!

Miinukset: They could have provided more towel. We have 5 of us, a little cramped in the room.

Plussat: A lovely family run onsen (spa) hotel. We had a small suite with a kitchen, living room and twin bedroom. My parents slept in the twin and I slept on a futon bed in the living room. There was a toilet and basin but no shower/bath. If you embrace true Japanese culture this is not a problem as it gives you the perfect excuse to go and sit in one of the private volcanic spa baths and have a shower when you’re done. The spa was lovely and we enjoyed using it very much. The hotel has a system indicating which baths were being used on the tv so you could check before heading downstairs. There are two outside baths and two inside. We had the evening meal which was amazing. So many different dishes. You will not go to bed hungry that’s for sure!

Miinukset: The area was very quiet so not much else to do but if you understand Japanese culture, you’ll appreciate that staying at a traditional ryokan with its own onsen is a real treat.

Plussat: We really enjoyed our stay at Ryokan Yamashiroya. A traditional Ryokan, Although there where more guests we had one off the onsens whenever we wanted. They have a nice in house TV system that tells you witch of the 4 onsens is occupied the video channel also has a lot of well made, informational, video's. The food was amazing. Very big variety off traditional dishes as well for supper as for breakfast. It was a great experience and we would not have wanted to miss this. Because we where traveling by train Kenji & Hiromi several times provided a shuttle service that was very appreciated! Hope to back one day! Thank you Kenji and Hiromi! Yvonne & Ton

Plussat: Food is very nice.

Plussat: Owners are very helpful and nice, Food were delicious.

Plussat: Everything!!!!!! I highly recommend this ryokan to others.

Miinukset: I wish the quality of the dinner would be better.

Plussat: Super nice suite with private hot spring, tasty breakfast and hospitable staff.

Miinukset: If there is a pick-up service will be good.

Plussat: staff are nice and helpful. food is delicious

Plussat: Spacious Japanese style house with Onsen I will stay again when I visit to Yufuin

Plussat: Good environment with combination of Japanese modern style. Parking the car near our independent private room. Helpful and nice staff. Private onsen in room and smaller one outside of the room! Good taste dinner and breakfast.

Miinukset: No other problem

Plussat: Spacious, good dinner, location.

Miinukset: Bit old

Plussat: Spacious villa with private indoor and outdoor onsen area.

Plussat: The size of the room, the meal they provided, was lovely presented n tasty. They even provide free alcohol drinks during the meal.

Miinukset: The sofa a bit old n feeling dusty, after sitting on it, felt some itchiness on my body. The exhaust fans r somewhat dusty as well.

Plussat: Beautiful place to relax. We have got a single house with private spa (indoor and outdoor), the dinner is nice! Staff are super nice! Enjoy staying in~

Miinukset: The breakfast a little bit under expectation though.

Plussat: Fabulous food. Staff very helpful.

Plussat: Traditional Japanese living in a beautiful setting. The town of Yufuin is also beautiful with some great places to eat.

Miinukset: Futons! But that’s traditional Japanese living....

Plussat: The location and the staff

Plussat: We had a fantastic stay here, the food, staff and amenities were fabulous.

Plussat: The beautifully furnished room, attention to detail and serene gardens. - Many choices of onsen baths, even the public baths felt private as we never encountered any other guests when we soaked. - The meals were lavish and absolutely delicious. - Very personalised service, they contacted us immediately after we made a booking to ascertain our food preferences, gave us directions to hotel, etc.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Good location, close to shopping, trails, Kirkin lake and Mt Yufu. Many onsen choices on site. Very friendly staff and they serve dinner in your room, with 10+ courses. One of the best onsen resorts in Japan.

Plussat: -staff are nice. -location is good. 10mins walk to the train station and the main street. -room is clean.

Miinukset: -food is family style. portion is generous. food is not that wow as we expected from a ryokan. -only one type of onsen. it means you dont need to try all the bath but only stay at your room is fine. our private onsen is too hot that we couldnt use it on the first night we stayed. it was disappointing as we book the room with private onsen for the privacy.

Plussat: Charming property, Lovely dinner but way too much food!

Miinukset: We were on the ground floor and could hear the guests upstairs moving around and talking. Generally the room was a little tired

Plussat: sooooo wonderful experience!!!! We are impressed by the dinner and breakfast!!!! Super yummy, and the ♨️ is amazing!! Hope I can come back next time!!!

Miinukset: Nope

Plussat: Personally prefer boutique places. This property provides all the services you get in popular / famous hotels, but yet keeping the exclusive feeling during your stay.

Miinukset: honestly nothing

Plussat: The location is excellent, close to the main shopping and walking street in Yufuin. Staff were attentive and gave us ponchos when we were going out as it was drizzling. The onsen pools were excellent.

Miinukset: Nothing really.

Plussat: Everything was fine..

Plussat: Excellent private hot baths

Miinukset: Bedrooms on upstairs. Slightly less convenient for the elderly.

Plussat: Everything is perfect but the price is a little bit high, and the dinner is just so so.

Plussat: Nice big room with own indoor onsen and semi outdoor onsen (yes, 2 onsen tub) Staff are very well train and polite during check in, they bring you to rest at a big room with view / deco, seated on sofa and enjoy tea, while during this time, your luggage was send to your room. Dinner and Breakfast is way too delicious

Miinukset: Not that easy to find the parking lot / Main entrance

Plussat: Good location and very good meal. The staff are all very polite and helpful.

Miinukset: Photos on your web site looked beautiful so my expectations were high, l suppose. Therefore my first impression at arrival was not a very good one. The location is good but no view.

Plussat: We were a group of families with young children. We love everything there: the spacious and clean rooms, the private hot spring bath, the stunningly great dinner, and the caring hotel staff. We were lucky enough to appreciate the architecture of the hotel at various weather conditions. Our whole group agreed that the stay at this hotel is the most enjoyable experience throughout our 7-day trip in Kyushu.

Plussat: The staffs were all very friendly and helpful!! The room was spacious and tastefully decorated. The private bath is a plus!! Dinner and breakfast were excellent!! Keep up the great work! Kudos!! Thanks for the great experience!

Plussat: Almost everything, the room (villa) had all you can wish for and the quality was of high level. But the most relevant was the service and the Kaiseki dinner which were just over everything one can dream of.

Miinukset: The bed room on the 2nd floor, my knees would prefere to have everything on the same floor.

Plussat: Grand and beautiful villa-style hotel. The staff can speak good English, easy to communicate. Food is excellent. We enjoyed the private and nice hot spring. Room is very spacious with comfortable beddings.

Plussat: onsen,comfy bed&delicious breakfast

Miinukset: none

Plussat: Everything was satisfying, there was private hot spring so that i can use it in quiet mood. Especially service was super nice. They were always smiling and some of them can use English so there was no difficulty in communicating.

Plussat: Love the private hotspring there The staff is very very friendly and helpful The room is clean and cosy The amenity kits are very nice Many choices of kimono

Plussat: Nice location, nice and helpful staffs. Very good hot spring.

Plussat: The staff were very enthusiastic and wanting to help. The onsen was very good. Room was a good size.

Miinukset: The location was good in that it was quiet with a view of the woods. However it was far from shops and restaurants.

Plussat: Beautiful villa converted as a hotel. Room is big by Japan standard. We were able to open two large check-in luggage and still has space to walk. We book ground floor room with Kaiseki dinner and breakfast for two persons. We paid high rate as 2nd Oct was World Rugby Cup 2019 NZ vs Canada and a lot of nearby hotels were sold out. Still, the place is comfortable and beautiful and for the service and Onsen, still worth paying.

Miinukset: Nothing though I must say it is better that you drive. The toilet and shower area is separate, while there is a small wash basin in the toilet, there is no soap so I have to walk and use the soap at the basin in the shower room.

Plussat: Very helpful staff and management. We would recommend this as an excellent experience of a Japanese ryokan with private hot spring bath and excellent food.

Plussat: The food was great and the room very spacious

Miinukset: The staff kept on calling and mailing , urging us to check in on time and the moment we arrived asked us when are we going to leave The onsen in the room was pretty small considering the huge size of the room

Plussat: Food was great Service excellent Spacious room

Plussat: Nice scenic surroundings. Private villa accommodations.

Miinukset: Private Onsen tub was quite small and not very deep.

Plussat: Amazing views, located just outside of Yufuin so you have a real sense of being in a retreat. The accommodations were very private. The set meals were wonderful, showcasing great local produce. Staying here was a highlight of our trip to Japan.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Impress all hotel’ staff’s hospitality. Excellent Dinner and Breakfast. The view of around scenery is very good.

Plussat: The dinner and breakfast are absolutely fantastic and one shall never miss it. The room is big, clean and tidy. The staffs family are very kind and nice. The environment is very quiet and relaxing. Again the meal is awesome.

Plussat: The service is so good and staff are nice. The food here is amazing and I’ll definitely come back again.

Plussat: Tidy and clean room, warm and helpful staffs

Plussat: First onsen experience; exceeded my hopes. Huge room, more like apartment size. Super clean as expected. Food great; attendant the best.

Miinukset: Mosquitos (maybe a trio of them working in shifts) kept me awake. Next time I will bring repellant.

Plussat: Great onsen, comfortable tatami and the nice view from our room.

Miinukset: Having breakfast and dinner in our room was great, but the food quality could be better.

Plussat: If you do not speak Japanese, you will have trouble of communication. Even though the staff show the greatest kindness of hosting. The food and hot spring is great. The lacation is close to the west trail entry of Yufuin Yama. Great experience!

Plussat: Both the private and public Hot spring

Plussat: The bed and the meals (we had breakfast and dinner) were great. Everyone was nice and the place was clean.

Plussat: Very kind staff, great room, great food

Plussat: the breakfast is very Japan style, the staff are helpful and nice the environment is beautiful the room is big, unlike common JP hotel room size

Miinukset: it's kinda difficult to reserve the hot bathing, if does, the timeslot is not what we most wanted.

Plussat: Only the view of Mount Yufu.

Miinukset: Price was high relative to the quality of the accommodation. Hotel was old and clearly past its prime; in need of a renovation, refresh or makeover. This is the first time a Ryokan has asked its guests to set up tatami futons by ourselves!

Plussat: Our group of 12 liked everything, the whole experience was just great and memorable. The staff were so friendly and helpful, and some spoke good english. The dinner and breakfast were wonderful. There are 3 private onsen for booking and a public one for all to use. Thumbs UP!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: A man at front desk very polite and English fluently. The private onsen was very perfect. Dinner was specifically menu and delicious.

Miinukset: Nothing. Everything was super great.

Plussat: Breakfast is good; the place is clean and quiet; staff are helpful and polite!

Miinukset: NIL

Plussat: Room very big Good view Close to shopping street but in a quiet backstreet Staff friendly and efficient Private bath house for two Nice classic Japanese breakfast Cheap Beer in the vending machine

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike

Plussat: Love the whole experience at this ryokan. Great dinner and breakfast served at the restaurants. We will definitely be back!

Miinukset: Nothin

Plussat: Everything about this accommodation was brilliant. The half board was superb. They went out of their way to accommodate our friends who were delayed for dinner. There were three private onsen to pick from. The location was a short walk to the main tourist street. Our room was huge with a separate tatami area.

Plussat: Everything is verygood. Staff helpful & service mind.

Plussat: Superb location, Yufuin is a beautiful place to stay and easy to travel into Beppu or Oita. Private onsen baths are a delight.

Plussat: Staffs very friendly

Miinukset: No dryer for clothes

Plussat: This place is fantastic. The beds were comfortable, they had all the amenities you could imagine. Everything was translated in English. The location is great. It’s a 10 minute walk to everything and off the road enough that’s is quiet at night. Loved it here. I’ll definitely be back.

Plussat: The room is spacious and exceptional. The design of the house is nostalgic, in which the pool, the sofa and the kitchen makes it like living in a welcoming house. The staffs and the cat here are friendly.

Miinukset: The location is a bit far away from the town though parking is easy. The temperature of the bath is not hot enough.

Plussat: A homely feeling at the lodge where design & furnishing make you feel very at home. Cosy place to relax after a day’s out. Complete amenities available within the lodge like a private Onsen. Free tea/coffee & soft drinks available & liquor prices are reasonable. Reception girl was very cheerful, friendly & brought us around to explain the amenities available in the lodge. Overall, truly enjoyed my stay & would definitely recommends to all.

Miinukset: Nothing to complain about as the people I met throughout my stay at Yufuin from the reception girl to the shops & restaurant staff were very pleasant & nice.

Plussat: I like everything about this place, peaceful and easy to walk to the market

Plussat: The room is very spacious and nice. Food is really good. Perfect view. With nice welcome drink and introduction to all service.

Plussat: Great rooms (western style and Japanese style) with plenty of space. Outside onsen bath was brilliant with a constant flow of 40 plus degree water. Dinner is Japanese kaiseki style and wonderfully presented and served in the dining room. Breakfast is either Japanese or western style - both excellent. Property location is great with outlooks over the mountains. It is situated at 1600m so be aware if you suffer altitude problems.

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike about this place as long as you can sink into the Japanese ryokan style of accommodation (set and early meal times, wearing yukata's etc).

Plussat: Fabulously polite and helpful staff, beautiful location with great onset and wonderful meals.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: The private outdoor hot spring with nice view let us really enjoyed. The environment is quiet and clean. Should stay more days if we have time. Also the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Plussat: Beautiful location and great onsen experience. Food incredible and service also. Staff lovely.

Miinukset: Seriously expensive, but then this is Japan!! Staying in Raffles Singapore would have been cheaper. Would have expected a private onsen pool but had normal room which was gorgeous.

Plussat: Very nice place with a beautiful view, perfect staff which is making its best for you to enjoy your stay despite limited English Wonderful cuisine to be discovered This place will immerse you in Japanese culture and art de vivre

Miinukset: Thé price is high range

Plussat: Kind and professional staffs, beautiful vand peaceful environment.

Plussat: Staffs are very considerate and services are excellent. Taken care of everyone needs. Really nice meals.

Plussat: Food & staff service

Miinukset: Room was cold even there is a heating system. And hope to have a western choice for breakfast .

Miinukset: the bathroom looks old. time to upgrade. The private spa Onsen is nice, but to include shower area will be excellent.

Plussat: Beautiful ryokan in a quiet and serene location. We stayed in the Hazuki room, which I would highly recommend (it has a great view of the mountain from the private onsen). The food and service at breakfast and dinner was fantastic. The dining was a real highlight. The bridge between the rooms and the lodge was beautiful.

Miinukset: There was only one chair in the room (not counting the Japanese style floor chairs at the dining table) and there were no chairs in the backyard. We would've loved for there to have been two chairs in the room so we could both sit and read and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Plussat: My wife and I like this hotel, excellent customer service, especially the staff, Ms Hazu Irina ,who was very helpful and very detailed. Everything is perfect. We love this property.

Miinukset: The bed is a bit hard, hopefully they can cater for more softer and thicker bed for foreigners. The pillow is also a hard, which they can cater those pillows for international customers.

Plussat: The 2 private onsens were amazing. Dinner food quality was also very good.

Miinukset: Would have been better if the bar was in operation

Plussat: excellent service with great attention to detail. Great selection of sake. extremely tasty bungo beef for dinner. Extremely helpful front desk staff proposing nice alternative route to Hirado.

Plussat: The family onsen and the cosy atmosphere of the whole place.

Miinukset: Split level with the bedroom upstairs. We prefer one level. Also the toilet upstairs has no washing basin.

Plussat: Very nice environment, quiet and discrete. Meals were very tasteful and authentic. Dining rooms were all privately used, didn’t need to share with other residents. Views from room and private hot spring were excellent.

Miinukset: No hotel transportation to town or train station. Quite a lot of bugs in/outside room. Room maker did not refill the incent on daily basis.

Plussat: The best experience i ever had from the food the view the staff and of course the amazing hot spring experience.

Plussat: I really had a good time at ryokan... I love all the onzen , food presentation and arrangement ,,, I will visit again ..
