The open-air hot spring attached to the room was really nice.Even though they all look the same, the movement lines and shower facilities are slightly different.There is a difference, but it is compliant here.Kaiseki and breakfast are also popular among Koreans.It fits perfectly and seems to be good for both the elderly and children.It is a small but cute and lovely ryokan.Not recommended for those who don’t like the unique damp smell of tatami.

I used the Ayame room. As it was newly built, it was very, very clean. Instead, perhaps because it was a wooden building, I could easily hear the door closing from the other room! Other than that, there was no noise, so it was comfortable.I was also very satisfied with the individual bath. Even though I visited in the middle of summer, it got cool at night because it was in the mountains.After bathing in hot spring water, my skin became smooth and nice. (But there are bugs! Of course, since it is an open-air bath.)I was very satisfied with the meal. In fact, I saw quite a few people saying that the meal wasn't very good in the Google reviews... They seem to be gourmets haha. Every bite was delicious.It mainly serves seafood, so if you can't eat seafood, you should consider it!It won't be enough to just eat yakiniku without eating the menu that comes before. Instead, if you eat everything from the menu, you will be completely full. Also, make sure to have dessert. I think you made ice cream too, it's really delicious 😍The convenience store is so accessible that it’s easy to buy snacks.From the station to the ryokan, and from the ryokan to the station, I am very satisfied with the service that takes you in the ryokan vehicle! I was worried because it was the middle of summer, but it felt cool haha.Oh, and it's 10-15 minutes away from Kinrinko Lake! It was perfect for a walk or a spin before breakfast~This is my first ryokan that I was very satisfied with in many ways. If I come to Yufuin again in the future, I think I will make a reservation here again.

The accommodation was new, clean, and very comfortable. Perhaps it was designed by a designer, but the approach around the entrance looks great both day and night. The warbler was chirping in the morning.

I visited Akebi Room at the end of March.It was difficult to make a reservation as it was peak season, but compared to other ryokans, the price was reasonable despite having a private bath.Kaiseki and breakfast were all filling without any objection to the taste or aroma, and the service was good and delicious.I went there with my mother, and she liked this ryokan the best, and it was my favorite place too haha.Everyone was very friendly, and since I had a private bath, I didn't have to bump into other people, so it was a quiet place to heal!!There don't seem to be many reviews, so I'm someone who never writes reviews, but I'm leaving a review to remember it well. I had a good rest ^^

I had a recommendation from a coworker.Really nice ryokan..Dinner, breakfast, and service were really great.It was really impressive to see the staff waving their hands until the car was out of sight when leaving. Personally, I think the open-air hot springs are great.However, 1.1 million won per night for a family of four still seems a bit burdensome.

I was lucky enough to make a reservation at Konjakhuang at the end of the year.I know that this is a ryokan that many Koreans make reservations for.The staff greeted me warmly when I checked in at 3:30.There are private and shared hot springs, the bedding is soft and everything is clean and shiny.The meal starts with sashimi, followed by a variety of dishes including yakiniku and tempura. Kindness is basic, and the food is neat and delicious.Alcohol includes Japanese sake, shochu, and beer, and I drank sweet potato shochu.The hot springs are so nice. All the fatigue from the trip is gone and my skin feels so smooth and nice.Konjakuang seems to be the best place for the price that meets Korean standards.We will visit you again in the future.thank you
