Tsutaya is a place in Yufuin where you can feel the tranquility of a Japanese house at an affordable price. Single accommodation is also possible.The owner was very friendly and I had a comfortable time.Yufuin’s tourist attractions are right in front, so it’s easy to leave your luggage and go sightseeing!Hot spring tax is separate and you can use it until around 10:30 in the evening and in the morning as well.

It would be good for first-time visitors as it takes you all the way around and leads towards Kinlin Lake.We went on a weekday, but there was only one other person besides us, so we didn't overlap. It's clean and has good air conditioning, but it's a bit disappointing that there's only one bathroom. If there are too many people, there will be a line.The bath fee is 150 yen per person, which is cheap and okay. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are all provided.The room had tatami mats, so it had a good feel. The price was reasonable. Overall, I thought it was a quiet and relaxing place to go.

When sightseeing around Lake Kinrinko, you can walk from here. Therefore, it is a good idea to use this place as your base for sightseeing.Easy to use even by one person.The bath (open-air), toilet, and washroom are shared, but you can also relax as there are yukata robes and air conditioning.

It was the best accommodation for the price range. You can experience a private hot spring, the location is good, and the staff are friendly. I am 100% willing to revisit.

In Yufuin, where accommodation prices are high, it's just a light...It was my first time staying in a tatami room, so I was really surprised. Even though I was sleeping on the floor with a blanket, the bedding was so good that it was almost as good as a bed. It's so cozy...The convenience store is close, the rooms are clean, and there are not many people in the hot springs, so if you go late in the day, you can rent it out. And since there is a shared microwave, you can heat up a simple meal. Totally recommended👍

Exit Yufuin Station and go to the information counter on the right to receive location information.Provides detailed information on bus stop locations and times.The bus was 210 yen.There is a hot spring fee upon check-in.The view from the room was very nice and it was clean.The air conditioner and heater worked well, and the blankets and pillows were nice, so I just passed out.I was worried because it was a shared bathroom, but I was satisfied because it was clean.Grandma is very kind.The hot springs are really... the best... I wanted to stay there for consecutive nights.Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are provided.There is a toothbrush set, two towels, yukata, tea ceremony set and green tea bags in the room, and coffee mix next to the hot water on the first floor.There is only warm water on the first floor, so it's good for cup ramen, but if you need cold water, you have to buy it.Because it was close to Kinrinko Lake, I was able to see the foggy lake at dawn.I was planning to leave my luggage when checking out.I asked if I would like a luggage transfer service from the accommodation to the station. It was 800 yen for a 25 size suitcase.You must write your name, the departure time of the train you will be taking, and the name of the train.The service center closes at 5 o'clock, so you must collect your luggage before then. Because of this service, I walked to the station with a light body after seeing the surroundings.😊

The B&B is neat and compact, the hot spring pool is beautiful and has great value, and there is plenty of space for bathing. Well worth it. It's not far from Jinlin Lake, a five-minute walk. …

Today, we guided three travelers from South Korea to a taxi from the roadside station Yufuin. I hope you arrive safely and enjoy Oita Prefecture 😊vIt's okay. It's okay.

Very close to Jinlin Lake and Lawson~The morning mist at Jinlin Lake is beautiful! It is recommended to get up early to watch!The tatami room is very comfortable. The room is thoughtfully equipped with a humidifier, TV, and yukata. Poor sound insulation is probably the only drawback🥹The only restroom is a public bath, and the hot springs are super comfortable! ! !Because the B&B is a long way from the station, I used the luggage delivery service in Hakata Station when I set off. Thank you to the boss for helping me carry my suitcase to the second floor🙏The boss is kind and the translation software makes communication easy.

I am very satisfied and will go ahead and write a review. The place I stayed was not the main building, but an annex, which I used as a private house! The main building has a public restroom, but the annex building has a private restroom and a kitchen, so it was convenient! There is also a separate microwave and refrigerator. There is a large lawn right in front of the accommodation, and you can take a hot spring just a few steps away. The shower is shared, but since we use the hot spring anyway, there was no inconvenience at all after taking a shower after the hot spring. The hot spring water was very clean and more towels were provided when requested. The location of the accommodation is far from the station, but it is very close to the main street and Kinrinko Lake, and the bus stop is right in front of the accommodation, so you can check the time carefully before boarding! There is also a service called Chiki Service that will deliver your luggage to Yufuin Station for a fee. If you leave your luggage and walk along the main street, you will quickly get to Yufuin Station. Please note that luggage storage at the accommodation is only possible until 12 o'clock.
