To be honest, I was a little surprised by the high reviews. Everyone has different evaluation criteria, but I felt that the price was not worth the age of the facility.The food is usually delicious and the quantity is too large.The service is also quite low-key and polite. (Some people find it uncomfortable if you go too low, so this was a tricky point.)You can't tell from the photos how old the facility is, and there's nothing special about the facilities, so it just felt like a spacious guesthouse. (It is said to be like a mountain hut)It may be true that I was disappointed due to my lack of understanding, but for a hotel in this price range that I have stayed in so far, the room was quite disappointing.My partner commented, ``The old plumbing in the room and the private family bath is detracting from the cleanliness.''Also, I didn't feel good when I saw the staff's uniforms with torn knees, which looked so shabby. My partner jokingly said, ``Maybe it's a rural mountain hut style cosplay (I left it torn on purpose),'' but he still seemed surprised.Is there a difference in evaluation between those who can "enjoy the feel of a mountain hut in the countryside" and those who cannot? ? ?

I chose it because of the high reviews, but to be honest, I'm disappointed.It was a private lodging level inn.The room cost 57,000 yen, but there was no bath in the room and the interior was quite old. I think it would be better to renovate first. It's not that it's tasteful, it's just that the facility is old. Also, there was no staff in the lobby at all times, and it was locked at night, making me feel trapped.The food is also of a very low standard. Seki horse mackerel sashimiIt was good because I had ordered it, but I didn't feel that they were particular about anything else. If you insist on serving coffee by the hearth in the lobby, serve drip coffee with ground beans.There was an old coffee maker, and there was nothing special about it.This is a special coffee made with Yufuin water. I would be much happier if you said that.During the evening meal, I was told that the cocktails made by the master here were the best, and that he was also participating in the world championships, so I ordered one. Surprisingly normal. No particular care about glasses or ice. The taste is also at the izakaya level.There are four private baths, each of which is old. Please be particular about lighting and add something that creates a good atmosphere. Please use a hair dryer with a little more airflow.The firewood for the bonfire is scrap wood lolI was hoping this would be firewood.It's a shame as I was looking forward to staying at the ryokan in Yufuin. I don't want to introduce it to anyone.I was disappointed.Is it just the landlady? ! The hospitality of that person was wonderful.

When I inquired via email, they responded kindly and came to pick me up at the station. It was a ryokan with a very quiet and cozy atmosphere as it was located in the mountains. Even though I couldn't speak Japanese, there was no difficulty as they explained things in detail in English. Have a good rest!

I stayed in a room with a hot spring.The four private baths were filled up right after I checked in, so I decided to take a bath in my room.Although it is not a hot spring with strong sulfur,Enjoy the comfort of a hot spring that is gentle on your smooth skin!I ended up going to a private bath, but the room bath felt like it had a lot of hot spring ingredients.The facility felt old, butThe room already has an air conditioner,I was grateful for the thoughtfulness of the staff, who took care of my fullness while serving the food.The meal begins with beautiful appetizers that girls will love, and charcoal-grilled beef and free-range chicken that men will be satisfied with! I was satisfied with everything, including the hotpot with delicious pork!The breakfast food was so perfect that I ate so much that I couldn't even eat lunch.It's not cheap, but I'm satisfied with the price!
