- 아리인 (10/5): - 방이 아득하고 있을건 다 있어요.
편안했고 직원분들도 친절하셨어요. 샤워실이 뭔가 좀 불편했습니다.
- Gwen (7/5): -
- Marta (9/5): Cudowny czas z rodziną - Wspaniałe miejsce, cudowny personel, fantastyczne jedzenie, prywatne rotenburo. Wszytko super! Chciałoby się zostać jeszcze jedną noc, ale byliśmy w sezonie hanami i cena była zbyt wysoka.
- Dirk (9/5): -
- Jerome (10/5): Formidable! - Tout était parfait. L’hôtel est superbe avec un très haut niveau de details!
Le meilleur hôtel depuis que je visite le japon.
Le restaurant est parfait et délicieux. Le seul détail: une tache décolorée sur le canapé.
- Siyeong (10/5): -

- Jaravee (9/5): Excellent stay, great staff, beautiful design and location. Unfortunately, there was no shared outdoor onsen to enjoy th - The rooms were very spacious and nicely designed The location was nice, away from the crowd with great nature
- Guest (10/5): -
- Yong Wook (10/5): -
- Robert (10/5): A truly exceptional Onsen Experience - Exceptional inevery way. The staff went out of their way being kind, courteous and helpful. First class operation. My room was Japanese style Onsen with private bath. Stunning, peaceful and quiet. The Japanese Onsen style dinner and breakfast are one of the many highlights. Recommend to wear your hotel provided kimono to enjoy the experience. The hot spring bath in each room (separate building) is the best part. Soak away your stress and enjoy the health benefits from the water. I wish I could hav3 stayed another day. Also, easy walk to Lake Kirin, to town and to the busy street with lots of activities, cafes, restaurants and local treats. Enjoy…. NA all good.
- Max (9/5): 很棒 - 戶外溫泉池很美 若能再多提供一次來回市區接送會有更好的住宿體驗
- Alvin Alianto (9/5): -
- bananapancake (10/5): Amazing stay. Will be back. - Everything was perfect. Nothing
- SYO (10/5): -
- Law (9/5): -
- Anton (10/5): Wonderful ryokan with private open-air onsens - Excellent ryokan in Yufuin. Low number of private houses with open-air onsens each. Attention to details and super helpful personal. Great location a bit away from daily tourists swarm, while within easy walking distance ( and taxi from Yufuin station for evening return).
- Jeong-Heon (10/5): -
- ShogunEmperor (10/5): The Staff made us feel at home, away from home. - The place was at the outskirts of town yet very near the popular attractions like the Yufuin Floral Village and Yunotsubo Street. The villas were ideal and spacious, the beds absolutely comfy and the service staff were just excellent and kind. The Chef's on duty always made sure our food were to our liking and personally came out to check that all is well taken care of. June-San and Miata-San went out of their way to make us feel at home including the rest of the staff of the hotel. Every single one of them made sure our stay was enjoyable. Despite all the good stuff.. 1 of the sliding door had a cold leak and the genkan was cold but they made sure the toilets had individual heaters.
- Joanna (10/5): A serene and welcoming retreat - Stunning cottage perched on the mountain above Yufuin. We had an outdoor onsen. A nice mix of western touches like a bed and in room shower, with Japanese decor and the inimitable wonderful hospitality. We loved the Japanese breakfast Nil
- Yingyi (10/5): -
- QI (10/5): -
- 馮 (9/5): -
- Hing (9/5): A luxurious and peaceful ryokan with the right amount of modern amenities to suit city dwellers. - The environment was tranquil and quiet, which made our stay very relaxing and peaceful. The staff, who were mainly Japanese and speak only enough English to be able to communicate with guests, provided exceptional service at all times.
Food quality was excellent and delicious. They were very careful with guests with dietary restriction and checked to be made what can and cannot be eaten by guests. For our room, the toilet was located a little further from the bedroom, which can be chilly when we walk there in the middle of the night. But not a big issue really.
- YAEJI (9/5): -
- MengJu (10/5): -
- Chiaju (9/5): -
- Alex (10/5): - Everything about this property was excellent and exceeded our expectations. The staff went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met. They made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Breakfast and dinner were also exceptional - everything was fresh and tasty. Rooms were clean, well-maintained, and beds were comfy. Couldn't recommend this property enough and will definitely be back in the future.
- Dobrin (10/5): -
- Hanh (10/5): Great onsen experience - I had a great time staying here. The hotel provides pick-up from Beppu station as it locates far from main town. But just a 20’ drive. Not bad.
The place is not big, but room is spacious. Bed is comfortable. Room has basic amenities but is clean and warm. The in-room onsen offers privacy and comfort.
The food is superb. Meal is very delicious: breakfast and dinner. Each meal always keeps you full until the next. So much food.
But the highlight would have been the staffs. They are exceptionally friendly and welcoming of guests. Always smiling and helping with everything you possibly need. I would definitely recommend you to stay 2-3 nights to enjoy the most of the place, and the town. Nothing i could think of
- AINA (10/5): -
- Suvit (10/5): Highly recommended this beautiful ryokan - Beautiful ryokan with five stars facilities and services. Rooms are super nice with private and beautiful onsen in every room. All staffs were very nice, especially the lady named June (very lovely). Food is excellent on both meals. We highly recommend this beautiful ryokan for those who are looking for special place in their itinerary. none
- Yi Liang (10/5): -
- Tracy (10/5): Come back again, yufuin unique hotel - Nice property, friendly staff, your own outdoor onsen, very detail property, very nice Japanese garden, great breakfast, you feel the luxury, close to the town. Every room is separated with their own onsen bath, Stay 2 nights, love it it would be nice if you have a public bathroom. Other than that, 10/10 property
- Gakuto (10/5): - サービス・料理・温泉・スタッフさんの全てにおいて、最高以外の言葉が出てこない。
- Shiuan (10/5): - Everything is perfect. The food is amazing and so is that hotel. All the staffs are very friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit! Nothing
- Daegun (10/5): 최고의 료칸 - 모든 것이 완벽한 숙소였습니다 없습니다
- Amy (10/5): Highly recommended stay. Fabulous dinner. -
- Erin (10/5): Great overall experience - the propery was new and renovated. It’s in a quiet part of town so very peaceful too. - Everything! Food was brilliant, service was great. Room was unbeatable and the private onsen was such a treat It’s a bit far from the station. I wished they provided free shuttle service at all times (only available at 3pm and 4pm)
- Olive (10/5): Wonderful experience - The place is so beautiful, the people are very warm and food is delicious!!
- Yi Liang (9/5): -
- BEIJIAN (10/5): - 设施好、服务好
- Wing Yin (10/5): Excellent - It was a fantastic night
My parents and I enjoyed the stay
All the staff were amazing and kind
All the food was delicious
We are looking forward to staying here again Nothing to complain
- Kriengsak (9/5): Good choice for autumn. - Attractive autumn vibe and private onsen Free shuttle service should be provided according to the guess request (with low fare could be charged).
- Joyce (10/5): -
- TE HUI (9/5): -
- NOBORU (8/5): -
- Ka Yan (9/5): -
- Sylvie (10/5): Confort et équipements fabuleux, repas exceptionnels - Vous logez dans une petite villa individuelle, spacieuse, bien équipée (fauteuils, canapés, nécessaire pour le thé ou le café...) et très confortable. L'onsen privé en pierres, à l'extérieur, est superbe. Les repas sont fabuleux et le chef vient lui-même s'assurer que tout vous convient. Attention toutefois : si, comme nous, vous ne souhaitez pas manger d'aileron de requin (par principe), il faut les prévenir à l'avance car ils en mettent souvent dans certains plats ou soupes. Proposer d'eux-mêmes des alternatives aux plats d'aileron de requin, sans doute prévu pour plaire à la clientèle chinoise (environ un quart des touristes étrangers au Japon)
- Mia Seng (7/5): Good renovated rooms let down by poor onsen conditions. - Room is nicely renovated.
Food of decent quality.
Good privacy. Onsen water flow is weak, water level and temperature fall.
Tap to fill hot water in Onsen is faulty.
Could have better lit up the garden area.
A little more food for the kaiseki.
- 해훈 (10/5): - 다 좋았어요
- Shanand (10/5): Money well spend! - We received a free room upgrade!
The room was gorgeous and the rotenburo was amazing. We have enjoyed it very much. Staff was really accommodating especially with our one year old baby. The most memorable thing maybe was the man who kept waving after we departed, that was heartwarming to see in the rearview mirror. Beautiful memories made here! There was a sewage smell in the shower. That was distracting sometimes from the superb stay.
There were no bathrobes that was a shame.
I think they want to be very attentive and at our disposal al the time but at the Kaiseki diner there was a very high pace which made us feel very rushed especially dealing with a one year old haha. Dinner and breakfast were great though!
- Claire (10/5): -
- Park (9/5): - 직원들이 무척 친절하시고 개별 노천온천이 끝내줍니다.
식사는 최고 수준. 탕 앞쪽 바닥이 맨발로 밟기에는 조금 뾰족해서 아픈 느낌이 들었습니다. 고무 매트같은게 깔려있으면 좋을것 같아요.
- Jeong (10/5): 가이세키 및 조식 강력추천 - 식사!!!!
그리고 직원분들이 매우 친절 .
- Chris (10/5): 這次第一次住的經驗很棒 - 每個人從接待到廚師都很親切 無
- Anita (8/5): Relaxing & comfortably, staff are helpful & friendly - Privacy Nil
- minjie (10/5): - 酒店的房间很大,露天温泉也很舒适
- Gabi (10/5): - Wonderful modern Ryokan, excellent food, and lovely staff! The private onsen is amazing, and the garden is so beautiful. Definitely a recommendation if you are looking for a relaxing, comforting, and memorable experience Japan!

- Jessire (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing experience from communication about pick up to overall attention to detail by staff. The meals were delicious and we loved how our private onsen in the room. We had such a relaxing stay. Thank you Yufuin Rakuyu!
- Kin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Yeo (10/5): Exceptional - Modern Japanese. New. Clean. Friendly staff
- Julianne (10/5): beautiful and relaxing - Our stay was wonderful - we wished we could’ve stayed more than one night! The room was even better than the listing pictures suggested, the staff was so kind and helpful, and we felt very well taken care of. We had a slight issue figuring out how to keep our onsen hot and it was fixed right away. I completely recommend staying here. Every room has its own private bath, and all the rooms are separate buildings. It’s so private and relaxing. We accessed the property with a car and it was incredibly easy. We didn’t opt for the kaiseki dinner, but breakfast was fantastic!
- Nerrisa (8/5): Very good -
- Stella (9/5): Great stay amazing staff - The staff was awesome and very nice.
Thank you a lot, we've left some recommendations of points to improve as they are keen to receive them
Thank you
- Broomhead (10/5): Exceptional -
- Helen (10/5): Luxurious Onsen Experience - Quaint luxury ryokan tucked away from the main attractions of Yufuin. It’s a short drive from the “city center”, convenient enough to enjoy the buzz out and return to a peaceful restful night.
Shuttle is provided by the ryokan to/fro city center but we didn’t make use of it because we drove. Shuttle to return to ryokan was 5pm which was too early for us to call it a day. We had to get dinner outside as we didn’t manage to book half board. Only breakfast was included in our booking. The breakfast was very yummy. It’s a pity we didn’t get to try their dinner. Well, next time…
The room was very clean and spacious. Even though we felt very rested, we would have preferred firmer pillows. The pillows were a tad too soft for neck support.
We love the private onsen the most. It’s so nice to be able to dip into the onsen as and whenever we feel like it. We were reluctant to leave as it was just so nice. Absolutely love love!!
The staff were most friendly and helpful. They made us feel really at home. Thank you.
- Monila (10/5): Fantastic stay, great food and attentive staff - Beautiful Ryokan, spacious room with a natural onsen. Perfect for couples
- Teera (10/5): Excellent,We will come back again!👍🏼🩷 - Fantastic place, Very Good service,Excellent staffs👍🏼
Lovely dinner and breakfast from the chef. The room that we stayed is very clean and comfortable. Nice natural private onsen. -
- Brandon (10/5): Exceptional -
- ? (10/5): - 첫 일본여행에 첫 유후인 여행이라 걱정이 많았습니다. 유후인역에 하차한 후, 그런 걱정은 바로 사라졌습니다. 한국인 직원과 수시로 소통한데다, 고객이 걱정하지 않을 수 있도록 먼저 알아서 챙겨주시는 서비스. 개인 료칸이 있는 아늑한 숙소와 친절한 직원들이 있던 너무나도 만족스러웠던 숙소입니다. 추후에 방문시에는 2박 이상을 하고 싶습니다.
- C (10/5): Exceptional -

- Joe (10/5): Perfectly luxurious stay in Yufuin. - The room itself, with the private hot spring bath, was pure luxury. All of the staff were so helpful. And the meals! Ate like a king. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): 베스트 노천 온천 유후인 - 직원분들의 응대는 너무 너무 친절합니다 룸컨디션도 최고입니다 조금 추웠지만 히터를 틀면 금방 따뜻해집니다
노천 온천이 객실마다 있어서 너무 편했습니다 송영서비스도 너무 좋았습니다 체크 아웃 후 물건을 놓고왔는데 유후인역에서 택시가 잡히지 않아 가지러 갈수 없었습니다 역에서 차를타면 호텔까지 10분이면 이동하지만 걸어서는 먼 거리 입니다 택시가 너무 없습니다 물건을 놓고 와야만 했습니다 호텔의 서비스와 시설 청결도는 최고입니다 다음에 다시 방문 하고 싶습니다
