    The place is very welcoming and cozy. The staff is super attentive and helpful. The room is equipped with 3 onsen baths which are fantastic. Breakfast and dinner are excellent and allowing to experience the variety of Japanese cuisine (though the amount of food is really really huge).

    Because of it's location, there's some insects here and there, but if you don't mind, it is OK.

    The team of staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is not that far from the town area, it is very tranquil and in the room, can have a great view of the mountain. The food was excellent! Definitely much more and better than I expected. The room was big, comfortable and the private onsen was very pleasant and welcoming.

    The 3 private onsens! One indoor and one outdoor. Also the breakfast and kaiseki dinner was amazing. Although it is our most expensive hotel, it was really worth the money. And they will pick you up and drive you to the station, so you do not have to worry about the distance to the station.

    Simply amazing. I don't think I ever was this thrilled to stay anywhere. - Villa with a private onsen with great views over Yufuin. - Water in the onsen makes your skin silky. It's hard to describe, but it is the most pleasant feeling. - Great dinner experience. Prime Yufuin-raised marbled beef just melts on the tongue. AMAZING staff! They made me feel like I am at my second home rather than staying in a hotel. And they are so helpful! My partner was having a birthday, and I asked them last minute if they could take care of buying some flowers and decorating the garden/onsen with sakura tree branches. (Of course for an additional price). They did it discretely while we were away exploring Yufuin, and just transformed the place. It was a magical experience. Never before have I been so grateful to resort staff.

    Friendly staffs, multi-lingual — many nationalities Cozy ryokan Nice owner coming to greet every guests Delicious dinner, with generous portion (unlike many other kaiseki meals from other ryokans) No fancy public area, but the room was very comfortable A bit far from town, but the hotel can pick up and drop off at the station

    It was a wonderful experience way above my expectations, room was clean, spacious and comfortable (i wish i have home like this :D). View from the room was amazing, straight on Yufu mountain relaxing and breathtaking especially when taking morning bath in open air private onsen in the room (there were 3 onsens in room). Dinner and breakfast were very exquisite, it was real ryokan experience for me in a very luxurious environment . Staff was very kind and helpful, it makes you feel like you don't want to leave.

    Room with private onsen was amazing - 2 different types of outdoor baths - very hot and hot. There is a small indoor one but I dont know why anyone would use that one. Room was huge - unnecessarily large for 2 people. The dinner and breakfast was wonderful. Staff spoke relatively good english. The value of private onsen + full board is unmatched

    We had a bit of trouble finding the hotel as there was another, accommodation nearer down the hill. However we were guided by that accommodation to drive further up and were greeted warmly by the staff who helped bring our luggage into the ryokan and also drove our car to park on our behalf. Amazing hospitality from the bosses and staff! Some of their staff could speak English and Mandarin so no issues for international tourists staying here. When seeing someone in our group having difficulty walking, they immediately helped to hold them steady during the walk to the room and provided a higher and studier chair than the usual Japanese chair for ease for sitting. Two thumbs up for the attentiveness. Room was great, nice and warm with the aircon working well. Absolutely clean including the two private hot springs in our own room. Would recommend anyone interested in a ryokan experience to come here!

    The boss of ryokan and all the staff are very nice, staff can speak Chinese or English, I can still enjoy Kaiseki at night and in the morning; The room is tradtional Japan style and enjoy the private furo inside your room; the whole ryokan gibes me a feel of private garden; When I check out, the boss will take a photo for me and print it as an Polaroid; I was sent to Yufuin Eki by them, I feel so warm and thankful
