Best Yufu Hotels

"Dinner and breakfast : all food was cold because half of the food (about 4-5 small dishes and main) was placed at my table before i went to the restaurant. The servant pushed me to eat faster as the second half (the rest 4-6 small dishes) was put on table when i just started the first half. Quite disappointing. Supposed dessert shd be served after meal, The servant even placed it when i still had 4-5 dishes not finished. Annoying. Hot spring : opening hour was acceptable but there was no view to the beautiful scene at all. Quite disappointing too. The bamboo screen was too enclosed, making me just looking the few plants there. When comparing with Naha, there’s only one type of hot spring and was too traditional. Room : it’s not large as expected. Location: not far from JR/bus station but away from main street to one and only one spot - the lake Conclusion : too expensive when considering the bad dining experience . Not very recommended"

"## Yufuin Sansuikan - A North Kyushu Trip We took a bus from Beppu to Yufuin. The JR station is conveniently located directly across the street from the Beppu Hatto Hotel. From there, you can walk through the JR station's waiting area to bus stop #1. Bus #36 takes you directly to Yufuin. The fare is 1100 JPY; you take a numbered ticket when you board and pay upon exiting. Buses are frequent, and the journey takes approximately an hour. Upon arrival, the hotel is an easy 10-minute walk using Google Maps. For an alternative, the renowned Yufuin no Mori train also runs from Beppu to Yufuin, though advance reservations are highly recommended if you wish to experience it. Standard check-in time at Japanese hotels is 3 PM. Guests can drop off their luggage first and then explore Yufuin. Yufuin Sansuikan boasted the largest room among the four hotels we stayed at during this trip, though its decor was also the most dated. Online, I saw prices for the hotel exceeding 4,000 RMB per night during Chinese New Year, which is incredibly poor value for money. Honestly, even at the price we paid, I found it a bit overpriced. Due to North Kyushu's proximity to Korea, there's a significant presence of Korean tourists, particularly noticeable in Yufuin. Overall, my impression was that North Kyushu primarily attracts Korean, *********, Hong Kong, and Shanghainese visitors. The hotel's public onsens are located on the first and second floors; there are no private baths. The women's bath rotates, being on the second floor in the evening and the first floor in the morning. The first-floor onsen is slightly larger than the second, and both feature outdoor rotenburo (open-air baths). Complimentary refreshments are available from 3 PM until 10 AM the following day, including a selection of beverages, ice cream, snacks, tea, and coffee. Beer and other alcoholic drinks are also offered in the evenings. In summary, Yufuin Sansuikan is generally an average option. It could be considered if you need a place to stay for one night in Yufuin."

"The hotel has a quiet and elegant exterior. It is said that the front lobby was renovated in 2021. Each room in the hotel is a separate building and is relatively large, about 50 square meters. Some rooms have private baths, and there are also outdoor private baths. You can book a one-night stay with two meals and enjoy the evening happy hour. It is suitable for slow-paced relaxation and rest."

"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."

"The hotel staff are friendly and attentive. It is a 10-minute drive from Yufuin Station to the hotel. The hotel has a shuttle service (it is not recommended to walk to the hotel). You need to make a reservation in advance for pick-up. There is a private bath in the hotel room. There are only about 10 rooms in the hotel. , basically you only see other guests during breakfast and dinner time. If you want a quiet space, this hotel is very suitable. The ingredients for breakfast and dinner are very fresh and exquisite, and it is worth praising the chef's thoughts."

"I used it with my family of four, and I enjoyed a lot of free services, and the food was wonderful and delicious. The staff responded quickly and politely, and I liked the system that allows you to communicate via LINE. I tell my children that I want to go there again. It seems that events and dishes change every season, so next time I will go in the summer."

"Just hit the heavy snow, made this place more romantic.Food, accommodation and service were first class.Not in vain the first day off the plane ride to the hostel to stay.Really released all our fatigue. The room's favorite is that there are two seats facing the floor sliding door, super relaxing; people who are afraid of cold can use the indoor hot spring to soak for a while and then go to the outdoor hot spring. For travelers who do not understand Japanese, the room has a Chinese MENU introduction Transportation: The taxi near the JR station is very convenient to the hostel, about 15 minutes.On the way back, you can ask the staff to call a taxi."

"For dinner and breakfast, you have to go to the main building to pick up and drag them to your campsite. After eating, you must pick up the tableware and remaining food by yourself, pack them up, and bring them back to the main building for return. Good thing you don't have to clean the place yourself. At this price, I don't think it's worth it The food was okay, both steaks were delicious, but no drinks were included. If possible, buy some supplies at a convenience store There is no toilet in my room, so I have to go to the toilet in the main building. I was thinking that if the campground was full, there might not be enough toilets. In addition, in winter, walking from the room to the toilet through the open air is very unpleasant. If you just stay in the hotel and don’t have a barbecue meal, it’s not bad to try staying in a tent and enjoy a bath."

"Location is superb right outside the main walking street Private onsen is very nice. Hotel staff, Umi, spoke excellent English and was with us throughout our 2 nights stay with breakfast and dinner. Driving in to the hotel is challenging as there are many people walking along the street. 6mins walk to kinrin Lake to watch the morning mist."

"The proprietress is hospitable, the food is high, the beef is delicious, the dumpling salad and the dumpling ice cream are super delicious, the proprietress sent me a dumpling when I left, I brought it back to Hong Kong, the dumpling juice was flushed, and the pancake was fried with dumpling skin and made dumplings. The pork dumplings were very delicious. Unfortunately, the location is a bit far away and the train is in Yufuyuan to cross the opposite platform. I have luggage to cross the railway. But I may be too busy that day and instructed us to cross the opposite platform to cross the overpass. I asked twice and it was the same answer. Time is tight, I only lifted my luggage 🧳 on the overpass. When I was preparing to get on the train, I saw someone cross the railway 😓. On the return trip, I returned to Yufuyuan from Tang Ping and the platform on the opposite side. I have to move my luggage on the overpass again. How to look carefully this time, I can’t cross the road and rails."
