The ryokan had 3 private baths, and the middle one was a pretty outdoor bath. The room was well-furnished and comfortable, and the owner provided yukatas for all the guests, which was a nice touch. It was a 10 min walk to the touristy area where many snacks and souvenirs were sold, and we enjoyed staying in that area. When we checked out, we were given lovely little owl charms and I think they were handmade by someone from the ryokan!

Fun, friendly ryokan experience”

This was our first time staying at a ryokan and we loved it. The older ladies running the place are warm and friendly. The ryokan is tucked away for privacy and it's just a short walk from the main street and the bus/train stations. There are 2 onsens on the premises. You have to pay a nominal 150 yen to use them a total of 3 times. We really enjoyed staying here and would do so again.

This Ryokan is very good! 1. Private traditional bath (Best thing !) 2. Good dining (Gaiseki and breakfast are very recommendable) 3. Good room state (Provides tea&sweets also, and other miscellaneous) 4. Very close to important tourism points and shops but at the same time very silence and country side. It's amazing ! Only problem is their english skills. But they uses tablets as translator.

Very near to main street. Just a bit dark at night as there is no street light from main street to Ryokan. What i'm not happy with is, i was requested 1,000 yen for kid which wasn't stated in booking detail. Please be reminded the room has WC and basin but doesn't come with bathroom, you need to walk onsen to bath but is very near, few steps away the room. Overall is good.

Nice stay in Yufuin”

This place has 2 private hot springs and 2 public bath. The location is great, you have to turn into a small road and look carfully for the sign. An old lady runs the place and we got it at a discounted price so overall it was a pretty good deal. The only complaint is that the water feom the hot spring is a bit hotter than the average ones we had around the neighbourhood.
