      Staying at Shimizu Ryokan was a very nice experience. The owner and staffs are super kind, friendly and helpful, the environment is quiet with beautiful nature, the room is traditional Japanese style and super large, traditional Japanese food is tasty. Public hot spring is very unique and the private one is also nice. Though the location is a bit far from the town, the van transfer service at Yunohira station is very convenient. We enjoyed everything here. This is the best hotel experience I ever have. Highly recommend!

      Unique Cave Onsen Experience”

      This onsen is located in a secluded area 20 minutes drive from the main town Yufuin, a place where you find peace and quietness next to the flowing river with a unique cave onsen experience and enjoy the very hospitable and kind host in a traditional ryokan.

      Everything of the hotel including the food are super nice, it’s one of the best accommodation I have ever stayed. The host was very nice that offering us pick up and drop off service (the location is a bit inconvenience if you haven’t got your own car).
