    Staffs, Location, Onsen

    Nice ryokan with very friendly staffs. Room is clean and tidy. Close to Yufuin station only 4 min walk. Nice semi open-aired onsen on 1F, 3F and full open-aired one on rooftop (4F). Only drawback, esp. for people with huge luggage, is no elevator here. Though my family and I have a little difficulty dragging our luggages down from 2F to lobby when we checked out (when we check-in after leaving our luggages at the ryokan and go around since we arrived early. the staff had already bring our luggages to the room), I will stay here again if I have a chance to go back to Yufuin.

    Starting to show its age”

    Ryokan Jyounoyu is quiet, nestled in the mountains and surrounded by trees with pretty views of the surrounding peaks and town below. They do an admirable job of keeping the facilities in shape but the place is starting to show a little wear. Most of it's charm lies in its age of course as well. The food is quite good tho nothing spectacular. The outdoor onsen facilities themselves are also satisfactory.

    We slept well on the tatami bed! Breakfast was a good traditional Japanese meal! Private bath from the spring water on the roof top is fantastic overseeing Mt Yufu! However we will not stay for >2 days as we are not used to the room without proper international tables n chairs due to our age as bending knees hurt !

    Very expensive and unpleasant stay”

    Onsen, onsen, onsen.

    The only good thing about this traditional Japanese ryokan is its hot spring bath. We are a group of four and booked this ryokan four months ago for USD 126 per room night without breakfast. The local Japanese paid no more than JPY 10,000 (USD 80)for this type of ryokan with dinner and breakfast package. We asked for the breakfast and prepared to pay the extra for that but they simply denied our request. It was very difficult to find a decent restaurant around the ryokan without driving the car at night for the dinner. The next morning when we checked out at 0830 hours without taking any breakfast, we saw a big group of the Japanese ryokan guests enjoying their breakfast in the common dinning room. The man at the service counter was unfriendly though. We told him that one of our rooms had only one big tower instead of two, he couldn't believed it and keep insisting that there were two big towels in each room. He was wrong. The house maid later sent to us the tower. The private hot spring on the rooftop was very nice. The hot spring bath at the 3rd level was also good. However the one at the ground floor was something you wish to forget it. The height of the stools at the cleaning stations was about 6 cm. It was so low that I almost fell down when I first sat on it. This is definitely not a 3-star hotel. I will rate them 1.5-star. And never pay for anything more than JPY 10,000 or equivalent for this kind of ryokan.

    5 mins to JR station, very close and reasonable price the hotel is too small so might not keep luggage in advance

    Great value, friendly staff ”

    We booked the plan with breakfast but ended up not being able to eat the breakfast because our bus departed very early. The staff provided sandwich, fruit juice and bottled water for us instead which we really appreciated. Of course we paid for breakfast in first place, but they were not obliged to provide an alternative. We would definitely come back again if we revisit Yufuin. The location of the hotel is also superb.

    Comfortable Stay”

    Staff was very friendly, honest & near to train station

    Feel very much like home. Staff was friendly & honest as I have left my camera on the reception area & totally forgotten until 2 hrs later. Owner was so nice to keep it for me. Dinner was served in room with many varieties & it was delicious, sashimi was very fresh. Morning breakfast was good too. Last but not least, the outdoor private steam bath was fantastic that I enjoyed the quietness & the cold breeze blowing on me. Will return if I have the chance.
