The hotel is slightly over 1km from Kirin Lake and the shopping lane but it offers free bikes for use by guests and cycling to the attractions is a breeze from the hotel. In addition, the hotel offers booking for three of their onsen amenities - open air, semi open air and we xtra hot osen. Guest can book the preferred slot at one of the onsen location and by about 8pm, the hotel will allow guests to book any additional slots at any of their onsens. We managed to have slots for all three of the onsens, each was well maintained and provides you to have privacy of quiet onsens. There is a hotel lounge where you can have free flow of cold and old drinks too...

Located a convenient 10 minute walk from Yufuin station, Sansuikan is a great option if you're looking to treat yourself for a night. There are free flow snacks and drinks (including alcohol) in the lobby, and the dinner and breakfast are all-you-can-eat buffet style, also with free flow drinks. There are two onsens, M/F on the 1st/2nd floor and they swap service twice daily. Both floors have outdoor onsen (rotenburo) but the 1st floor onsen is much larger and includes a sauna. Do note the buffet signages were in Japanese only, so you may need to approach the staff for assistance if you aren't fluent. (Their staff are fluent in English.) Overall I was quite impressed with the experience for the price point. Would come back next time 😊
Our charm lies in allowing guests to relax freely and at their own pace—more than preset schedules or arrangements from the hotel, guests can enjoy their own time according to their preferences. Located in a tranquil rural area, we are highly regarded as a lodging that offers the most beautiful views of Mount Yufu. From our proud top-floor panoramic bath, guests can enjoy breathtaking, sweeping views of Mount Yufu. In addition, there is an open-air hot spring bath where you can feel the breeze blowing through the basin, along with a sauna that has become popular in recent years. The ever-changing, picture-perfect scenery invites you into a moment of escape from the everyday, like stepping into a painting.

The hospitality was incredible from the moment we arrived, and the property itself is very charming. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize beforehand that guests with tattoos are not allowed in the onsen or sauna, which limited my overall experience and prevented me from enjoying it fully.
Dinner was delicious, but I was a bit surprised that at least one beer was not included, only soft drinks were, and I had to pay extra for it. The room was beautifully arranged, although the view was not very special since it faced a Daihatsu parking lot. We noticed a small detail with the cleaning, but overall everything was very good and I truly appreciated the warm service.
Very Good

The scenery is beautiful. The road from the station is flat. You can rent the hot springs privately, so you can enjoy them in privacy. Yukatas are provided, which is a nice touch. The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was really delicious. However, most of the surrounding shops close after 9 p.m. Walking back and forth is painful, and there's no lighting, so I recommend resting at your accommodation. I was so sad that I went out for a drink alone one evening, but I almost died. The location is also great: Kinrin Lake to the top and Unagihime below. First, take a photo of Unagihime Shrine, then head to Busanji, and then Kinrin Lake and Tenso Shrine. Then, you'll see the bustling downtown area on the way back to the station. Next, I'd like to visit the left side of Yufuin. I was short on time because I tried to squeeze so many places into two nights and three days. It would be a good idea to visit the left side of Yufuin on the first day, stay at Hikari no Ie, then visit the right side, and then follow Silky Road to Beppu.

The hotel itself is a bit older, and you can definitely feel its age in some areas of the property. That said, it still maintains a certain traditional charm. One thing to note is that the location isn’t the easiest to access on foot—you’ll really need a car to get around comfortably, especially if you plan to explore the surrounding area.
What truly stood out during my stay was the restaurant staff. They were exceptionally helpful, attentive, and warm throughout my visit. Their hospitality made the dining experience one of the highlights of the hotel. The meals were well-prepared and thoughtfully presented, adding a special touch to each day.
Overall, while the facilities could use a bit of updating and the location is best suited for travelers with a vehicle, the kindness and service of the restaurant staff made the stay worthwhile.

The most unforgettable moment of my trip to Yufuin was my stay at Oyado Kaikatei Ryokan.
From the moment I checked in, the staff's bright smiles and meticulous attention to detail truly impressed me. Each member of staff genuinely welcomed me, making me feel as if I was visiting family I'd known for years.
The room was impeccably clean, and I was impressed by the attention to detail. The refined Japanese interior calmed my mind, and the tranquil scenery of Yufuin outside the window was truly healing.
And the meal... was truly unforgettable. Each kaiseki meal, meticulously prepared, was a truly unforgettable experience, a sight, a smell, and a taste.
The delicate dishes, made with seasonal ingredients and beautifully presented, brought a smile to my face throughout the evening.
More than anything, the staff's warm service was truly impressive. They were attentive to even the smallest requests and went above and beyond to make the fatigue from my trip disappear in an instant. Thanks to this kind of attentive hospitality, my time in Yufuin will be even more special and memorable.
The next time I visit Yufuin, I will return here without hesitation.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone at Oyado Kaikatei Ryokan for providing such a wonderful and warm stay. 🌸

Korean Couple Review
Location: It's about a 15-20 minute walk from the main street in Yufuin, making it less accessible than other Yufuin ryokans. However, pickup is available from Yufuin Station, so it's not a major issue. We called from a public phone at Yufuin Station and they arrived within 5 minutes.
Cleanliness: While reviews are mixed, we found it quite clean. We requested a quiet room when booking, and they gave us a room at the end, away from the elevator.
Service: From check-in to check-out, we experienced no inconveniences. Breakfast and dinner, as other reviews suggest, were excellent value for money.
Facilities: The hot springs are similarly styled open-air baths for men, women, and private baths. Both the men's and women's baths also have indoor baths, surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds and rocks. There are two private baths, and you can use them without any time restrictions as long as there's no one else there (I think this is a plus compared to other ryokans). Because it's located off the main street, they sell beer and food on the first floor. (Unsurprisingly, the prices are a bit high. I recommend buying them at a convenience store or shop when you check in.)
*I went in the summer and slept with the air conditioning on, but the noise was a bit annoying. There's nothing you can do about it... haha. Other than that, I'm satisfied with everything else.

I feel that any words can't express my wonderful experience, maybe it's more appropriate to use pictures. The Imperial Su is located in a calm countryside, there are not many tourists this season, the house is very new, there are 7 rooms, each yard has a private soup. According to the waiter, they have another old store nearby. This shop was originally a restaurant, so the meal was perfect, the visual feast plus the taste bud feast, I can say my luck is too good.

GGuest UserWe had a great 2 nights stay at this Ryokan. Location was near Yufuin Floral Village, and around 20 mins walk from Yufuin JR station. It was a nice walk to Yufuin JR station as there were many shops and eateries that you can visit along the way. Alternatively, there is also bus 36 from Yufuin but terminal that would stop near to the ryokan.
The staff were really outstanding, friendly and helpful. When we arrived, a couple of them rushed to help us with our luggage and to also shelter us from the rain. During the entire stay, they made us feel very welcomed.
The Western/Japanese room that we booked was very spacious and had all the amenities we required. Note that this is a 2 storey living area - level 1 had a bathroom with private indoor and outdoor onsen as well as the living room, while level 2 had a toilet (w/o bath) and 1 western bedroom as well as 1 Japanese bedroom.
There are 4 public onsen in the ryokan. 2 for female and 2 for male. They would rotate it during the day and night to allow everyone to try out the different onsen.
We also had our breakfast and dinner at the ryokan as part of the package. The dishes were different on both days. The spread was huge and food tasted great. Note that there are very few places open at Yufuin during dinner time.
AAnonymous UserGreat onsen experience. The package with half broad, meal was great. Also the room has indoor private onsen. Should try experience (but a bit pricy 😅)
GGuest UserIt was a very good hostel. After a little sightseeing in Yufuin, he came to Yufuin Station with the Songying service that he applied for in advance. After drinking welcome tea in the lounge, he guides you to the accommodation. It was more comfortable because there was a Korean ~ Clean and spacious accommodation, nothing to lack. Fridge drinks and coffee are free ~ coffee was so delicious. I think you can think of it as a private pension. There are separate toilets and washbasins, both of which are spacious and comfortable. It was so convenient because the dryer and the scissors were all provided. Usually the dryer in the hotel is weak and it takes a long time to dry your hair.
The manager, the staff were friendly and went with my mother and came back very satisfied. I won't put it in the picture, but it was the best accommodation I've ever stayed in Japan. I think it would be nice to go again with my precious person ~!
EEdwina FanWe love the ambience and you can get a private onsen. The shower room in the room is very small but it does not matter we we could use the private onsen. The food was excellent. The only little complaint is that it is about 15-20 minutes’ walk to the famous Floral Village. Nevertheless, we had a good time.
KKYUNGROKFirst of all, the staff were so kind that I felt really good the whole time I was staying at the accommodation. ㅎㅎ
I was worried that it would be too cold to sleep in the room that included a private hot spring, but I turned on the heater and slept so it was so hot that I slept with the window open. ㅎㅎ
GGuest UserIt was a ryokan that children loved and adults enjoyed as well. The location was good and although the open-air bath was not very large, it was a great temperature that children could enjoy.
GGuest UserThe service they provide is up and beyond. I love how this whole place is set up in such a way for people to mingle. I wish I could have stayed longer and chat with the people. Unfortunately I think it was off peak season so there weren't many people. The owner is generous and friendly, people that stays there are good natured people. The owners sang country road to everyone that leaves in the morning, very heart warming and eye teary especially when I met a wonderful old couple from kagoshima during the wonderfully made breakfast. The common area, which is the dining area, has a scenic view of outside, and the main city that lights up a little at night and beautifully decorated interior. It feels like home. I also enjoyed the indoor onsen too. My favourite bit was the classical music playing in the background, and how accessible it is, like a backyard. If you stay here, return the deed by being good guests.
KKa YanA hot spring hotel with one night and two meals. It is very convenient to have a private hot spring in the room. The public bath is relatively small, but not crowded. There was no one there when I went there that morning, and I enjoyed the outdoor hot spring very comfortably. The room is in traditional Japanese style, very comfortable and hygienic. The staff does not speak English very well, but they will try their best to communicate with guests through mobile phone translation and other methods, so there is basically no problem.
The food was prepared carefully, but the dinner was not to my taste, but the breakfast was a surprise. There were free popsicles, hot spring eggs and beer. The location is far from the station, 20 minutes walk, but people usually go to Yufuin to visit Yunotsubo Street. If you walk from Yunotsubo Street, it is still okay to walk there in 10 minutes. The check-out time is 12 o'clock, which is good. After breakfast in the morning, you can go back to the room and enjoy the hot spring time in the morning before leaving.
Overall, it was a very satisfactory accommodation experience. I enjoyed the hot springs and will consider staying here again next time I visit Yufuin.
TTERERSAThe views are open and expansive, but the location is a bit far from the station, nestled in the mountains. However, there's a shuttle bus available for reservation. The room includes a private onsen and both breakfast and dinner. The front desk service was attentive; even though we had an early dinner reservation and many people wanted to move theirs up, we weren't able to eat any earlier, but they did their best to maintain our original booking. Overall, it was pretty good. The room lighting was a bit dim, but generally clean.
根根伴鷹進Although the hotel is a bit old, it's exactly the style and feel I wanted: rustic decor, beautiful surroundings, a first-class private bath, and a great location—perfect for anyone who enjoys hiking. Dinner and breakfast were incredibly plentiful. In short, it was fantastic, and I'll definitely come back.
