Great one night stay...
The location of this hotel is great. The fact that we get our own private onsen is absolutely wonderful to me and my kids. I don't have to worry too much about my kids bothering other people in the public onsen. The room we have is very large in size and very comfortable. Meals are great and service is good. All in all, it was a great experience.

This ryokan is a little hidden gem near the Kirin Lake. The room is spacious and clean. The service is immaculate with attention to details in all aspects. The dinner and breakfast are both elaborate and made of high quality ingredients. Free shuttle service is available, though the ryokan is within walking distance from Yufuin JR Station. A very enjoyable stay and I’d definitely return if I visit Yufuin again in the future. Highly recommended.

Beautiful place and excellent service
Top of the class, excellent service and they even park your car for you. Food is as expected, excellent and delicious. You ask for it at 7pm and you get it exactly at that. We had a room with private onsen, within a small japanese garden. Definitely recommended if you want some time with your spouse or partner.

Superb !
This hotel is outstanding. I would recommend everyone to stay here. Hotel has free shuttle bus to pick up at JR train station (u just need to book in advance) and also included 2 amazing Kaiseiki meals (very impressive). U can't find delicious Japanese restaurant in this town and most of shops closed after 6:00 pm. So, it is a good idea to find hotel that already included dinner for you. Hotel located near the lake and very close to walking street. We really had an amazing time there.

食べ歩きスポットから近いので車で行く場合は運転に十分注意するのと、17時以降は宿の売店以外ほぼ閉まるので早めに買い物を済ませることを気をつけておけば最高の滞在になると思います。 季節にもよりますが、蚊が寄って来やすいので刺された場合に備えて薬があると安心です(虫除けのノーマットは常備されていました)
