A new onsenThere are quite a few cats that roam freely. The fur looks like it was well maintained.This is a 3-star ryokan with good value for money. The quality is just right for the price, but because it is clearly new, the exterior is very clean. It was refreshing to check the soup using QR and then go in. Please note that I was concerned that the bed in the room was a little uncomfortable and the soundproofing was not good.

The accommodation is a 5-10 minute walk from Yufuin Station. It is very quiet and the staff are very friendly. This is an accommodation where cats welcome you when you come out in the morning.You may not be able to use the open-air bath during the busiest time, 10-12 PM, but it is spacious during the rest of the time, so you can use it almost freely.

There was a typhoon so I couldn't use the outdoor hot spring bath, but I was very satisfied with the indoor hot spring bath! The cats are cute and the location is good haha. The convenience store is right next door so it’s easy to use.

Extremely disappointed. Hotel refused to refund (neither full or partial) even when it was under extreme weather conditions.Typhoon shanahan directly hit and landed in Kyushu right on the day we planned to stay at this hotel. In the morning at the hakata bus terminal, we were told road was blocked and no traffic to Yufuin at all.We spoke to the agent and even hotel rep directly. Hotel rep said they could not refund in full because they thought some customers might be able to visit in the evening. We mentioned we really would love to go visit yufuin but we didn’t know how to get there given the situation. Hotel rep just simply ignored to answer.We followed up with the agent next day morning and hotel refused to refund not even one cent. Hotel rep mentioned partial refund yesterday and now today zero refund.

After arriving at the station, we took a relaxing walk to the hotel. There is a convenience store outside, which is a bright light in a dark and quiet area. There is a drink machine in the lobby that you can use. The room is similar to a normal residence but is still very spacious. It also has its own small balcony. All the hot spring houses are private houses. Just go in and lock the door. It's very convenient. You can also use the website to check if there are any in use. Dinner and breakfast are cooperated with the bbq store next door. It's super delicious. There's also free-flow drinks for dinner. It's a must. Come to the same place
