Mountain view Hotels in Yufu

I recently stayed at a traditional Japanese onsen hotel, and it was an amazing experience. The hotel offers private onsens, which provided an incredible level of privacy and relaxation—perfect for anyone trying onsen for the first time. It was so peaceful and serene, and the entire experience felt like a perfect escape from the stresses of daily life. The breakfast was simple yet delicious, offering traditional Japanese dishes that gave me a true taste of the local culture. It was light and satisfying—just what you need to start the day. The tatami bed was also an experience in itself, offering a unique and authentic Japanese way to rest. I slept incredibly well on it, and it added to the overall charm of staying in such a traditional setting. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making me feel very welcomed and taken care of throughout my stay. The location was great—easy to access, with Tang Zhi Ping Road just a short distance away for anyone looking to explore. Plus, they offer free parking, which made it super convenient to travel around. Overall, this hotel is the perfect place for rest and relaxation, especially for those who want to try onsen in a private and peaceful setting. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic, calming experience!

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).

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!

The environment was great, the food was delicious, and everything was perfect. It was also a great way to enjoy the outdoor family hot springs with your partner or spouse. If the weather is nice in the evening, you can even see the stars.

Upon driving into the car park, hotel staff were there to assist with our luggage. Check-in was handled in 'The Library,' where we also enjoyed welcome drinks and snacks. The room was incredibly comfortable, and the amenities were more than sufficient. The minibar included complimentary beverages: two beers and two juices, plus two tubs of ice cream in the freezer. Dinner was delicious, and the service was excellent. The only minor drawback was having appetizers served outdoors, where we were severely bitten by mosquitoes! Breakfast was Western-style and tasted good, though the service was noticeably not as high-quality as it was for dinner. The check-out experience was also less satisfactory; no one helped with luggage, and we were even asked for our room number in the car park.

Facilities: A little old, very Japanese style, the room is a little small Hygiene: Very clean! Very clean! Environment: It is a hot spring hotel on the mountain, the environment is quite good, you can soak in the open-air hot spring in the room, it is perfect on snowy days Service: Very good, the boss and the waiter have a high level of English, barrier-free communication Breakfast and dinner are very rich, and the dishes will be introduced in English after serving. Since it is on the mountain, you can pick up and drop off back and forth, which is very good!

What a blast I had here!!! I only stayed for one night and now I wish I had stayed longer. It was a Friday so Rio, the owner, organizes a night of games at the public gymnasium for teenagers (who although growing up already have the strength of super-powered samurais) and whoever else wants to participate. I haven't run and wake up with so many bruises since high school! It was really cool how everyone is quick to set the props for each game, we played 4 or 5 games in one hour!!!! It felt like a much longer time, everyone gave their best presence and participation all the time! It seems the other nights he takes everyone for a walk to see the stars, and Tuesdays there's also volleyball. Anyways, he is pretty proactive and creative , so I'm sure there's many variations and possibilities! The living room is very pretty, the sofas super comfortable and the view gorgeous! The bed was very hard :/ this was the only big issue for me. The onsen is so cozy, the water super smooth and instrumental music playing. Delicious! The conditioner smells great! I was a bit worried that they had too many rules, because when I contacted they informed about the need to leave the house everyday from 10 until 16. And that the eating time was very specific: 7:20 in the morning and 7 at night... So I was worried they would be too strict...but there's no need to join the food. I had breakfast and it felt like it would be at the communal dinning of beauxbatons, everyone sitting closeby with identical very beautifully presented meals that come in many quantity but small portions. It is not my jam, but for sure it is special! Some informations could be a bit more clear because they are a bit slow responding. For example they have a pick up time in front of the army at 6pm. I asked info for an amazing lady at the Art Center inside the station, Chika, and she called them. She ended up taking me herself and was the best company I could have found! She is an artist, we went to the supermarket and had great conversation! I recommend going to the art center to say hi to Chika! Lots of love, thank youuu Mountain Mamas!!!

Very big and spacious. There is a separate living room and pantry apart from the bedroom. The tatami makes it safe for toddlers. There is also baby bathtub available upon request. The kaiseki were very good. Each room gets a private dining room for the kaiseki meals. The only downside is that they only have 2 private onsen so we would have to wait for a while.

Our trip to Kyushu was truly highlighted by the magnificent Yufuin Shuhokan. The lobby is incredibly spacious and beautifully decorated in a traditional Japanese style. Our room was huge, and the toiletries and skincare products provided were of very high quality. Soaking in both the free indoor and outdoor onsen was incredibly relaxing, giving us a full taste of the comfort of Japanese hot springs. We were delighted to find a ramen shop on the first floor that stayed open late, especially since most other restaurants in town close quite early. The hotel staff were also very friendly and welcoming, even giving us postcards and small gifts when we checked out. This hotel truly offers excellent value for money.

Although it's an older ryokan, it's well-maintained. A variety of amenities are provided, including chargers, pig noses, saline solution, and nail clippers, and parking is free. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious, and the surrounding scenery was beautiful. The sounds of birdsong, water, and the tranquil surroundings made for a relaxing atmosphere. When I visited, the public bath was open until 11 p.m., and the private hot spring (family bath) was limited to one use per stay, so it's best to make a reservation as early as possible. The only downsides were the unsanitary shower curtain and the strong smell of gas or petroleum in the family bath. However, the hot spring bath left my skin feeling incredibly soft, and the amenities were well-stocked. This ryokan offers a great value for money!
