Quaint ryokan for a good romantic stay.
Location is slightly off from the main stretch but it would be great if you drive. Love the quiet area and how the whole ryokan is preserved so well and clean! It exceeded my expectations of the stay!

Fantastic Japanese Old Fashion Stay
Basically it's really great: Japanese taste, Good hot spring, informative front desk, and so on. While the WiFi speed was a little bit slow, and it's a little bit far from the city central and station. Yufu here is actually a countryside so most of the shops and restaurants are closed after 5 p.m.

Best place to see Yufu mountain top
Truly amazing! It offers perfect orientalist views from both inside and outside. You can see Yufu mountain top from the little Japanese garden outside the main entrance. The breakfast is a germ too.

Quiet and peaceful location
The hotel is located in a quiet area but just a 10 minute walk to the train station and the shopping area. Our room had a nice mountain view. The hotel has 3 private onsens which are used for shower as well.

一次非常放鬆的住宿體驗，一個人到由布院，找到這間有單人房的溫泉旅館，房間非常整潔乾淨舒適，沖涼要到外面，但設備非常乾淨舒適，露天溫泉有一間同室內溫泉有兩間，在一晚住宿的時間體驗了兩種的溫泉體驗，晚上露天溫泉可以看到星空，白天浸室內溫泉是可以看到山景，非常寫意，一晚住宿包含早餐，早餐非常美味。
