Find3-Star Hotels in Yufu

A cozy escape with stunning mountain views and perfect hot springs. Loved the late-night soaks and hearty mushroom soup. Rooms were rustic and comfy, though Wi-Fi was spotty and parking tight. Staff were warm and welcoming. Ideal for a relaxing getaway—can’t wait to return!

Very nice well kept traditional ryokan. If you are expecting modern do not stay here. Hotels like these are older and have been around for many years but are well maintained. I love sleeping on tatami - I slept for 10 hours! Unfortunately I felt a bit dumbfounded when the dinner included is just ramen. On the trip.com photos there are two photos of meals and I assumed one was dinner and the other breakfast. Maybe this use to be the case but trip/ the hotel should specify better what is being served. Especially in small towns there aren’t many dinner options - there is an Aeon (supermarket) a short walk of course if you’d like a bento dinner instead. Also no wifi in the room. As an international traveler I had to up my esim data for the day. They don’t advertise wifi in the room - they have it in the lobby so it wouldn’t be hard to get an extender to the rooms. The onsen was nice however I found the outside onsen made a lot of noise- I’ve been to many onsen and this was the first that ever made noise from the filter so it wasn’t as relaxing as it could have been. Overall decent stay but probably wouldn’t go back

It took 20 minutes or so from the station, but the last climb was difficult. It was about 6 minutes? but the slope was 45 degrees... It was difficult because of the suitcase, but the accommodation was so pretty. The staff were friendly, the facilities were great, and I stayed for one night at a cheap price because it was a weekday. In my opinion, it's probably the place with the best hot spring view in Yufuin. I want to visit again next time.

I almost didn’t book this because there wasn’t an en-suite bathroom (there’s a sink & WC though) but so glad I didn’t miss out on this gem of a ryokan! The decor was modern Japanese chic, the service was super friendly and the location was insane - less than a minute to the shopping street from the side lane! I booked a river view but I feel any room would have a good view. As for not having an en-suite bathroom, the private onsen more than made up for it!

How cost-effective it is. Small business. There is a pick-up service after 3pm. We will take you to the station when you leave. There are only 6 rooms. Basically no one is using the public hot springs. You can go in at any time. It is no different from private ones. The meals are like family dishes. There are Mandarin-speaking work-study students. No need to worry about communication problems.

GEMS YUFUIN (HOTEL / CAFE) ”Location: Convenient choice next to Yufuin Station” The location of GEMS YUFUIN is almost unbeatable - exit JR Yufuin Station, stay on the left side of the pedestrian walkway and walk for one minute. Such convenience is undoubtedly a major advantage for passengers dragging suitcases, families, and large and small bags. What’s even better is that the surroundings of the hotel are well-equipped, with a 7-11 on the rear left and a Watson’s diagonally opposite, making supplies during travel a breeze. For visitors without a car, this is the perfect place to stay in Tarpaulin. ”Accommodation space: modern and comfortable, family-friendly” Unlike most accommodations in Yufuin that focus on traditional Japanese style, GEMS YUFUIN adopts a simple modern design. The room is spacious and has smooth circulation. Not only can you easily open your suitcase, but it also has a small living room, which makes the guests feel more at home. The 2A room type we stayed in was equipped with modern equipment such as a refrigerator, a microwave, and an air purifier. It even had a bathtub, so the fatigue of the day's journey disappeared in the hot water. For families with children or travelers traveling with friends, this design is just right, being spacious yet cozy. ”Hot Spring Experience: Novel and Practical Small Hot Spring Pool” Although the hot spring facilities of GEMS YUFUIN are small in scale, they are well-equipped and stand out for their novel facilities. The internal configuration includes a hot pool, a cold pool, an oven, and four clean and tidy shower rooms, allowing every traveler to enjoy a private bathing time. Although it doesn't have the atmosphere of an open-air pool or surrounded by mountain views, the hot spring water here is certified as a true natural hot spring, with a moderate and soothing water temperature. The bathhouse is arranged for men and women to use it at different times to meet the needs of different tourists. This small hot spring is a quiet corner during a busy journey. ”Catering: A simple but warm start to the morning” Breakfast is a small surprise that makes you feel at ease - hot pressed toast is paired with a drink, offering two flavors: sweet and salty: red bean filling for sweet, and cheese for salty. Although it is not rich, for unsophisticated travelers, this kind of breakfast is enough to bring a good mood for the day. Of course, if you want to taste more Yufuin cuisine, the service staff can always provide good recommendations. ”Service: Delicate and warm, making people feel cordial” GEMS YUFUIN's service is known for its friendly service. One of the staff members from Taiwan was particularly enthusiastic. In addition to familiarly introducing the hotel facilities, he also took the initiative to recommend Yufuin's delicacies to us, such as the popular local barbecue restaurant. This kind of interaction upgrades the hotel from a cold place to stay to a more humane journey. ”Value for money: mid-range price, a wise choice for family travel” At a price of about NT$5,000 per night, including breakfast and hot spring facilities, GEMS YUFUIN is a mid-range hotel in Yufuin and a great value for money. Unlike most hot spring hotels that focus on the couples market, this place is extremely friendly to family travelers. Its spacious rooms, convenient location, and complete facilities make it an accommodation choice not to be missed. ”Who is it suitable for?” 》 • Family travelers: Spacious space and convenient equipment make family travel easier. • Traveling with friends: The room type is suitable for multiple people to share, comfortable and affordable. • Transportation-dependent travelers: It’s less than a minute’s walk from Yufuin Station, making it incredibly convenient. ”Final Advice” If time permits, you may wish to ask the staff about local snacks and hidden attractions to make the journey more fulfilling.

The hot springs are heavenly in the winter. There is a jacuzzi in each room, but the public bath is much better. The staff doesn't speak English well, but since they don't, communication seems to be better. It's convenient, close to the main street, and the Japanese garden is very charming. The kaiseki cuisine and breakfast are also excellent. It's worth the price.

The weather was very cold in March. There was only an air conditioner in the living room and no independent heater. It took at least four hours for the room to warm up a little. The air conditioners in the room and the living room cannot be turned on at the same time, otherwise there will be a power outage. The customer service said that the voltage is not enough. For other aspects like location, it would be more convenient to drive yourself; the indoor facilities are sufficient, including coffee machine, kettle and hot pot. Customer service is a bit difficult to communicate in English.

Location in the mountains, it is recommended to check in early, because the mountain road is more dangerous at night, it is not recommended to take very heavy luggage into the stay, because the road is a lot of stone.Very authentic Japanese inn, but the place is very clean, and Netflix to see, inside Lots of smart appliances.Dinner and breakfast very Japanese, taste okay!

This hot spring hotel is highly recommended. I must stay here every time I come. It has good privacy, elegant environment, delicious food, and considerate service. Although the price is expensive, the experience is perfect.
