[202407] Yunohira Onsen for the first time in a year. As soon as you walk up the narrow, uneven stone pavement and cross the bridge, you will see ``Shukuhiko Banya''.Yunohira Onsen is a hidden gem among Oita's hot spring resorts, and it has everything: good hot springs, good food, and reasonable lodging fees.It is also a super best hot spring that is unknown even to inbound foreigners. . It's quiet and the cobblestone atmosphere is quite nice.The concept of Yadohiko Banya is to allow adults to relax and unwind, so we do not allow children and only bring two guests.Perhaps because it is run by a family, there are only a few groups that can stay overnight, and the hot springs are all reserved for private use, so you can relax without seeing other guests.It was a weekday and there were only two guests, so the inn was almost reserved. I conquered 4 private baths and had a really relaxing time.In the evening, there is a course meal, and about 6 types of obanzai are placed in the hallway in a buffet style, and for those who are heavy drinkers, the obanzai is the best way to drink.We enjoyed the food and drinks until the very end of the time limit.It seems that day-trip hot springs have not reopened yet, but there is a high possibility that they will become popular soon, so I would like to enjoy Yunohira Onsen while it is still available. It was a quaint inn that I would like to visit again.

Satisfaction was high compared to the price. Just as others have written. The owner seems to be good at cooking. If you are going by car, you will have to go through a very narrow road for quite a while to park in the parking lot in front of the accommodation, so it may not be possible if you have a compact car. I recommend leaving your car in the parking lot on the axle next to the nearby Sangyuya and carrying your luggage.See locations below.The hot springs were only posted 3 times as they don't appear to be in other people's photos.

The entire hot spring hotel only has adult guests. The rooms are large and there are four private baths for guests to use. The breakfast and dinner are very surprising, with exquisite dishes and excellent taste. There is also a small self-service bar that provides additional snacks and desserts, which is very cost-effective. It has a high degree of privacy and a quiet environment. Free bathrobes are provided, and there are also small lanterns for guests to take photos in the nearby streets. The boss is kind and friendly. He personally leads us to the parking lot. He understands Cantonese and makes us feel at home. 👍Recommended for couples traveling by car

kind andIt's a bit disappointing that you can't decide on a meal time or check out time.I recommend it to those who are new to ryokans as it is cost-effective because you can conveniently use a private bath.
