Beautiful inn with wood floors. The hosts were attentive and the room & beds were comfortable. There is a small informal dining area with hot water and microwave. Complimentary washing machine to keep up with laundry. The three family onsen baths were wonderful, in particular the outside bath. The breakfast bento was filling and tasty; we ate it in the spacious traditional dining area. All in all. A wonderful stay.

Amazing ryokan in Yufuin! A great combination of traditional architecture and modern comfort. Owners were a very nice and helpful couple. They had resources prepared in english to facilitate a smooth check-in and guidance for the stay. There's a wide selection of yukatas to choose from. Basic amenities (e.g., rain coats) can be bought at the reception if you need something. The ryokan has 3 private onsens, 2 indoor and 1 outdoor. We tested all and enjoyed them thoroughly. There is no reservation system; you just take a sign during bath times and put it on the door. Onsens are available in the morning and from afternoon until evening. We always had an opportunity to use them when we wanted to. The bento boxes for breakfast were amazing; they had a little bit of variation each day. They even got me special ones without fish. We arrived a bit early but the owners allowed us to check-in ahead of time. Additionally, bicycles are available free of charge which is great for exploring Yufuin. Bicycles are only available during check-in time; we didn't notice initially and asked in the morning once and the owner still obliged and gave us the keys. It felt impolite when we noticed but we were very grateful!

Amazing hosts and breakfast in a very tranquil environment. They have bikes which you can rent after checking in. Otherwise, walking from the railway station takes less than 15mins, depending on your walking speed. There are 3 onsen (one outdoor and 2 indoors) for you to choose from. When I was there, I didn’t have to wait for my turn, which was a pleasure one.

Really nice location, with amazing view from the rooms of mount Yufu. The rooms are clean and spacious with tatami style. The hotel offers three private natural hot springs, that can be used by the guests.

Ryogan's outlook is incredible. when you can sit and coffee in the room ,you can see and enjoying the famous mountain.it was really nice to be able to feel the quiet and cozy atmosphere of village. the breakfast was excellent. especially there are three family spa.
