Musouen Reviews

Absolutely loved my stay. Someone told me it rarely snows in Yufuin, and it happened to snow the night I arrived Musouen. All the onsens were amazing. I would definitely go back.

Have to take taxi to the Ryokan, but this is the best Ryokan I stayed. Amazing food, service, onsen. Highly recommended

Excellent service and facilities, staff are extremely helpful and friendly, hot spring is clean and comfortable

I enjoyed the ryokan. It’s quiet however the downside is it’s location - a good 30mins walk from the main attractions. You can take a cab but that will cost quite a bit despite short distance. The onsen is the bomb. Outdoor and not too crowded. Mostly i encountered only locals / Koreans. The restaurant serves food that tastes like grandma’s cooking. Not the most comprehensive to the palate but it feels like home. Overall, pleasant.

The place is a bit far from the Yufuin station. It was a long walk. Recommend to take a taxi which costs about ¥750. There are private and public onsen to choose from. The public one has better view. Dinner and breakfast were good.

A short trip and we decided to check our Mosoeun. Good hotel and the onsen especially the private outdoor onsen was the one we enjoyed the most.

Good: I love the open air onsen. However, when I was in the onsen (naked) there was a Korean lady who was taking photographs with her cell phone. The room itself is small and lovely. Bad: I wanted to say it’s cleaned. BUT, there was a sharp needle on the floor in my room (see photo). I stepped on it and it got stuck into my foot! It’s very dangerous and I didn’t know how their cleaning crew could kiss it! Not very service-oriented. Almost never returned email. When my email was finally returned, the attitude was quite stuck up. This place is famous for its onsen. Could it be they got too full of themselves?

Very quaint and quiet neighbourhood, amazing amenities, view and most importantly famous for their onsens.

The both the indoor and outdoor onsens for the ladies were superb, not sure about the men’s, but there’re two outdoor onsens for guys. Location is quite easy to find if you’re driving, might need to take a taxi otherwise as it’s not walkable. Food was just ok, but the staff were all very friendly and accommodating.

great onsen and excellent service

Very good, excellent service, I lost my wallet and they found it for me. The bath was very comfortable, but it was a pity that private baths could not be booked. The public bath was very beautiful and the environment was quite good.

It was a very nice inn. The temperature of the water in each bath was different, so it was nice to be able to enjoy each one. I also appreciate the attentive service of the staff.

I didn't have high expectations for the kaiseki course meal, so it was okay. The room was spacious, clean, and warm. The open-air bath, family bath, and hot spring were really nice. It's a bit too far to walk from Yufuin Station, so I recommend taking a taxi. The staff were friendly, and the person who served the food spoke Korean well, which was nice. There was also a Korean staff member at check-out, so it was convenient.

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.
