I'm traveling with my mom.I got off at Yufuin Bus Terminal and walked for 15 minutes. Mid to late? It's flat so it's worth walking.Yes... Suddenly, a crazy uphill road starts to appear. If I go with a friend, I'll walk thinking, "Oh... it's a very steep uphill road," but as I whined up the hill with my mom in tow, I felt like I was holding back my mom from wanting to get angry.If you come with your parents, I recommend taking a taxi.ah!!! And there are no convenience stores around.As soon as you get off, go to the convenience store first.It will be there as you go, right? I tried, but it wasn't there, so I left my luggage and came back. ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I went up that uphill again.When you arrive, they explain things to you, but since they use an interpreter to explain things, it's okay to have language problems.The Red Bath and Blue Bath have large outdoor baths. If you have a large family, I recommend the Blue Bath. If you like an outdoor bath, I recommend the Red Bath. If there are no people, the small, medium, and large baths that can be used are all outdoors, so you can enjoy the outdoor bath at any time.The small bath is really small. If there is no one in the large bath, use the large bath even if you are alone haha.A slightly musty scent when you enter the room? It has a scent that you can't tell if it's wood or incense. It's okay once you get used to it.The room was bigger than I expected and it was difficult to climb up the hill, but I was impressed by the view outside the window.Kaiseki is a native Korean's taste. Hmm... It's a taste that will make your parents faint. It tastes like black and white??? It's pretty. Yes.... The rice was delicious. As soon as you open the lid, immediately remove the lemon or something.It was just a good experience that made me realize that something like this exists haha.The staff were friendly and there was no healing as I warmed my body in the warm hot spring water.

It was my first time staying in a separate house. It was quiet and calm, and you could use the open-air bath and the cypress bath any time you wanted. It was full of luxury.Both fish and meat for dinner were very delicious. The rice cooked with sea bream had a lemon scent. It was quiet and calm, and I'm glad I stayed at this hotel as it was recommended by JTB.

Staying two nights in a row was an excellent choice.The facilities, friendliness, large public bath, and kaiseki were all good.Less than 5 minutes by taxi from Uhyuin Station, or 15-20 minutes on foot!On days when the weather is nice, you can take a walk, and I even made memories of taking pictures on the train tracks on the way.The meal service and taste were good (traditional Japanese home cooking).I also saw frogs, snails, and lizards...I liked it better because I thought it was nature-friendly in terms of the atmosphere. (Not threatening at all~^^)However, it was a little disappointing that there was a unique smell every time we entered the accommodation we stayed in. So, I deducted one star from the room.But, next time I come to Yufuin, I will make a reservation again!!!

Even though I visited on a fairly hot day in early July, I was very, very satisfied with the ryokan. Very good value for money. Be sure to eat dinner and breakfast. I’m very satisfied.It's so delicious

There is an owner who even uses a translator to guide you around, and the service is good and the facilities are good. The only drawback is the distance from Yufuin Station, but it's actually not that far to walk, so it doesn't seem to matter if you don't like walking or are not comfortable with it. The hot springs were nice and the breakfast was nice too. However, it is a bit far from downtown, so if you want to buy something and have a drink in the evening, it is a good idea to buy groceries in advance and then go there. I want to go again next time I go.

I went aloneThe room, hot spring, and meals were all perfect.The street is a bit far from the main street, but I like it quiet so I liked it better.The soundproofing of the room was very good and the condition of the room was very good. Actually, I was a little worried just looking at the pictures posted on the site, but when I actually got there, it was really good 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻The hot spring was warm and I could use it alone, so it was great.The rice was very delicious too.The service is also excellentI plan to visit again next time with my parents😊😊

2024.6.16 AccommodationThis is a ryokan in Yufuin👀Yufuin itself doesn't have many shops, and the area around Lake Kinrink seems to be thriving, but the inn here is a little far from Lake Kinrink, so it's pretty difficult to get there if you don't have a car.The inn itself is quaint, old-fashioned, and stylish.(Is that why they're Chinese? I felt like more than half of the tourists were Korean.)When I checked in, I was asked about the time slots for dinner and breakfast, so I thought I was going to eat in my room, but instead I was told to go to the restaurant at the designated time.The food was delicious as usual, and there were two people who had sea bream rice for dinner, but I think there were about two bowls of sea bream rice. I was impressed by how voluminous it was 👌The bath does not have the concept of a general public bath, but is a family bath where you reserve a time to take a bath when you check in.There are also three small open-air baths, and there are signs in front of the lock and door that say ``Bathing'' and ``Empty,'' so you can freely enter them if there is space, which is innovative.
