Guest UserIt’s the third time we came to Yufuin. Previously, we stayed in onsen hotels with meals provided. This time we are staying for 2 months in Japan to experience the local life, and Yufuin was our third stop, where we stayed for 6 nights.
The service is top notch. The host responded very quickly whenever I had queries, and very clear instructions for free pick-up were given days before check-in. As we stepped in the house, the air- conditioner had already been turned on there were 3 big bottles of water in the fridge which made us feel so welcome. They collected our trash every day and asked us what we needed.
The guesthouse is an independent unit full of beautiful Japanese decorations. It was sparkling clean and thoughtfully furnished with everything you need. A first-aid box was provided. We were given 12 sets of clean towels and toilet amenities, including toothbrushes. We have stayed in different apartments before and have never experienced this.
More importantly, the kitchen was well equipped with everything—many cutlery items of different sizes and even wine glasses. There were a hot pot and a frying pan, a toaster, rice cooker, coffee machine, and even a dishwasher. You can't imagine there is even a massage chair! The bathroom was designed like an onsen. You can simply add some onsen powder to enjoy a hot bath.
You can easily access different attractions on foot. The location is about a 20-minute walk to the nearby supermarkets, 25 minutes to the main shopping streets, and 30 minutes to the JR station. If you drive, it is even easier. For us, we enjoyed walking and seeing the beautiful scenery, so it was not a problem for us even though we didn’t drive. Every day we walked to the supermarkets and bought fresh produce to cook. We had so much fun making different dishes and hot pot.
When we asked for a whetstone, the host quickly gave us theirs, and the next day, they bought us a new one. They even gave us sake as a gift. On the day of check-out, the host drove us to the JR station and helped us store our luggage in the visitors’ centre.
Next time when we come to Yufuin, we will definitely stay here again. It’s really great value for money.

Here is a pick-up service if you contact the hotel
After the bus tour, I got off near Kinlin Lake. It was a 40 minute walk, so I wanted to go on a flat ground, but it was a car without a walking road. I experienced hell ...
After arriving at the dormitory, I met the boss, and he was a grandfather with a year old. I opened the Japanese language app first and explained it. It's different from other hotels
If you want to go to a nearby meal or a mart, you can ask the boss for a pick-up service, take you to the mart and wait until you see the market.
In the morning, Yufuin Express Guitar was 9 o'clock, so I asked for breakfast and took me at the time I wanted.
The hostel was spacious enough to stay for more than 2 people.
And the long-awaited private hot spring. Very very satisfied!
I enjoyed it twice once after arriving, once before drinking in the evening.
If I had time in the morning, I would have had breakfast.
I said hello to the boss and said he would come back to rest next time if I came to Yufuin ^^
Yufuin is recommended here if you want to fully heal in the hostel as much as you come to relax with hot springs or if you have a lot of body in the last schedule!

The location is remote and the transportation is inconvenient. I called the hotel but they didn't answer the phone, so I had to take a taxi. There are not many taxis in Yufuin... It's about 160 yuan...
It's like a small house in the countryside, more suitable for older people to drive by themselves. The surrounding area is very desolate and not recommended for children.
There are about 7-8 households in the whole yard, with a total of 4 private baths, which need to be used with a sign. The outdoor pool is also outdoors, and it's very windy and cold in winter...
Dinner is OK...

This is a ryokan located at Yunohira Station, a little far from Yufuin Station.
It's a quiet and rural village, so I liked it more peaceful, quiet and quiet than the ryokan near Yufuin Station.
The boss was so friendly and especially the evening and breakfast were so delicious and great.
The process of taking the red train to Yunohira Station was also new and fun.
Both hot springs were satisfactory. I will visit again next time. Thanks to you, I had a happy time.

I was travelling with my elderly mum and we were not driving. The property is like a private house, very good location along the main street. There were restaurants and onsen just beside the property. It was very well equipped with kitchenware and the bathroom got bath tub and also standing shower. Very clean and well maintained.

It was already 4:30 pm when we entered Yufuin on the first day. The owner had already turned on the air conditioner in our room and provided instructions on how to use the hot springs. He was afraid that we would not be able to visit the attractions before they closed, so he drove us to the fairytale town. Although it was closed in the end, we were familiar with the route. He also helped us check the bus schedule the next day. Thank you!

The landlady warmly welcomed us and provided delicious food, making us feel like we were in a Japanese home. The hotel's exterior and interior had a retro feel, and those who appreciate traditional Japanese culture will definitely love it. When we checked out, the owner even drove us to the station.

Guest UserVery good hotel, clean and tidy, hot spring bath is also very good, the geographical environment is quiet. Quite late ~ 9pm to Yufuin, you can also arrange car transfers, breakfast is simple bread and eggs, etc., but it is also very good! I will choose this hotel next time I have the opportunity. thanks

Advantages: 1/In Huaxi Village, the location is excellent, enjoy the tranquil Huaxi Village at night, close to Jinxi Lake. 2/The room is large and the wifi is very fast.
Noteworthy places: 1/checkin The location is not obvious. The road to the hotel is not star-studded in the day. You need to go through the store to get to the room. The shoes you wear are placed on the locker on the basement floor. Change to the hotel slippers on the room, the room is on the second floor, you need to pull your luggage upstairs. The overall feeling is wonderful.

我們從別府乘坐36號車到由布院車站,打車到酒店1400日元,其實應該提前2個車站下車步行會比較近。酒店附近沒有便利店,所以零食汽水最好在別府買好,或者在由布院買好。店主是一位很熱情的阿姨,哪怕不會很多英語都很積極跟我們溝通,阿姨準備的食物很新鮮,很美味。因為下雪温泉眼被雪結冰了。阿姨付了我們一家人5000日元到附近的温泉浸泡。房間打開窗户可以看到山景,如果是夏天或者1月的冬天的晴天,肯定更美了。房間暖氣熱水都很足夠。酒店旁邊的停車場成為孩子玩雪的天堂,積雪雖然不多,但對於南方的孩子值了。
