Mountain view Hotels in Yufu

The location is a bit of a walk from the Yufuin station, so accessibility might be a challenge; however, it is absolutely worth the walk if you're able to. The amenities, the care put into their sevice, the thoughtfulness and willingness to accommodate where they possibly can, not to mention the beautifully ornate and well-maintained rooms. Each room having it's own theme for a bath, making experiencing different rooms quite an experience as well if it's your desire or lack thereof a choice. The process is super smooth, and having this place serve as your base as you explore Oita and Yufu is a pleasant experience. If you're looking for a good traditional ryokan where you experience shoji room doors, tatami floors with mattresses and sleeping on the floor, along with lovely sights and private baths, Yurari Rokumyo is worth your visit.

Everything was perfect in this hotel! Room is spacious and there are both indoor and outdoor private onsen in the room. The futon was the softest and most comfortable I’ve ever had in Japanese onsen hotels. Dinner was amazing and breakfast was good enough. It would be better if we can choose Japanese or Western style for breakfast. We was looking for grilled fish or sth in Japanese style. Will visit again definitely!

Terra Yufuin is great for families. The 6 beds available can accommodate at least 6 adults and a handful of kids. The onsite indoor onsen was well loved by my kids. We stayed in the ”sauna” house and hardly used the sauna- it was great to go in and out of the sauna in the November weather. The owner/manager was responsive to our requests through the app. However, I found the amenities to be very precisely provided for laundry detergent pods and trash bags. I felt like we had to ration them even though we did not request for more. Only one pillow is provided per bed too. I would recommend this place especially if you are alright with bunk beds above your bed. My older folks bumped their heads every night so that will have to be a consideration. Other than that, the place is well kept and beautiful.

The hotel staff were pleasant and welcoming. They have separate communal onsens for men and women, plus three private onsens that require advance booking (one 50-minute slot per room per day). This isn't super convenient, especially since you probably won't spend more than half an hour actually *in* the spring. However, you're allowed to wear a swimsuit in the private onsens if you prefer. The hotel building is quite a distance from the station, but it's close enough to the lake, which is definitely worth seeing if you're visiting Yufuin. On the ground floor, there are vending machines where you can grab snacks, just in case you get hungry late at night (the hotel closes after 12:30 AM).

Super pleased with our stay at Enokiya!! 100% thumbs up!! I will definitely return if I visit Yufuin again! 1) we reached early, and we managed to check in early. 2) location is superb, very near the yufuin streets. 3) hosts are very friendly and can speak English! 4) the rooms are very clean and extremely spacious! 5) we extended one room and forgot to return the non-extension room key. Host did not penalize but only just dropped us a gentle reminder. 6) breakfast is a very delicious and wholesome Japanese spread. 7) onsen area is clean and spacious. Thank you so much for the wonderful stay, Enokiya Ryokan. My family and I enjoyed our stay very much!

The hotel boasts a prime location near Lake Kinrin, situated at the end of the Yunotsubo street, perfect for a quick stroll and rest. The service is attentive and makes guests feel right at home. A private shuttle to Yufuin Station is provided on check-out day, allowing guests to enjoy sightseeing on their last day. The hotel features three family-style baths, two of which are open-air baths, each offering 40 minutes of private time. We stayed in the Takasago Japanese-style Suite, which boasts both indoor and outdoor private onsen, ensuring excellent privacy. Breakfast and dinner are served in private dining rooms, offering a diverse menu with different signature dishes each meal, such as Wagyu beef and houga-don. Overall, the hotel exudes a nostalgic Japanese charm and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended! 👍

The room is fully equipped with amenities, so you can literally just bring yourself. The hot spring bathhouse has two indoor pools and one outdoor pool. Towels and a water dispenser are provided on-site, and there are lockers with electronic locks for your belongings. The massage service is available in-room, and the masseuses are very professional, meticulously asking about areas to focus on or avoid beforehand.

Staying at a hot spring ryokan in Yufuin with dinner and breakfast included is so convenient and hassle-free. Jukaso Hotel in Yufuin was a great choice. The traditional Japanese garden setting creates a wonderful ambiance. The location is incredibly convenient, just a 5-minute walk directly from Yufuin Station, so even with luggage, it's no trouble at all. I booked a tatami Japanese-style room. It was spacious and clean with excellent natural light. Opening the window revealed mountain views and the greenery of the garden, making it very peaceful and restorative. The amenities were complete, and the double sinks in the bathroom were a thoughtful touch. The hot springs include both indoor and open-air baths. The water quality was pleasant and clean, and it was quiet with few people in the evening. Soaking in the onsen completely relaxed me.

I stayed here during my solo trip to Yufuin. On the day I checked in, I was playing nearby and accidentally fell into the river. I arrived around 2 PM, earlier than the official check-in time, and asked if an early check-in was possible. They initially said it was only possible at 3 PM. However, the female owner saw that I was completely soaked and immediately guided me to the public bath. She also told me where the nearest coin laundry was and even lent me a pair of slippers since my shoes were drenched. My solo trip could have been very difficult, but thanks to the owner, I was able to finish it healthy and happy. I'm incredibly grateful. If I ever visit Yufuin again with friends or family, I will definitely come back here. Thank you!

It felt like I was in the mountains, with nothing around. However, the air was so fresh that it was perfect for a walk. The friendly Korean hosts made my stay comfortable, and dinner and breakfast were delicious and reasonably priced. The only downside was that the large bath was small, so it felt crowded with four or five people, and if you go early in the morning, the water was cold. Although it was only a one-night stay, I had a good rest and returned.
