Breakfast at Yufuin Tsukahara Plateau Forest Hotel BORN (フォレストインボン)Forest Inn Born offers hot springs, where you can enjoy cherry blossoms while soaking in the hot springs! One of the great sights in life is that there is a restaurant in the forest hotel that serves free breakfast every day. The accommodation I booked was a bed and breakfast, which was not bad! Enjoy the tranquility of the forest.There are actually many stories to talk about during this right-hand drive trip to Fukuoka!For example, the forest INN BORN where I live in Yufuin is located in the forest of Tsukahara Plateau.In the first photo, a row of cherry blossoms greets you at the entrance. In the second photo, you look back at the hotel entrance and see green trees on both sides covering the road. The third photo shows the grafted cherry blossom trees at the door that have been planted for hundreds of years! The fourth picture is the accommodation house.It only entertains 3 groups of guests a day! The guest rooms are also equipped with Simmons beds, Western-style rooms with Nordic comfort, and Japanese and Western-style rooms. It's like soaking in a fairy tale dreamland with a room surrounded by trees and an open-air bath. Here, birdsong becomes BGM.

I made a reservation to get rid of my daily fatigue😊As time passed slowly, I was healed by the hot springs, the food, and the greenery visible from my room.The rooms are clean and you can sit on the sofa and relax, take a bath in the room, or relax while drinking coffee on the terrace.You can relax so much that you forget the time. I almost wanted to live here.Dinner is 18:00 Breakfast is 9:00I was grateful because it was late in the morning.The restaurant is located in a separate building, and it was an exquisite French course meal that went well with the wine.This is an inn I would like to visit again.👉https://a.r10.to/hka9W0

I went there because I had used it several times and the new Hakubun building was opened. The room was spacious and clean, the open-air bath was comfortable, and there was a new restaurant, and the food was delicious. This is my favorite quiet inn in the forest.

I used it as a weekend stay. As the name Forest Inn suggests, this inn is located in a deep forest. A car is required, but the atmosphere is definitely nice.Dinner from 6pm is served at a separate hut about 30 seconds walk from your room.I'm not a big drinker, so I had a glass of wine.It was a French cuisine course, and everything from the appetizers to the main course was amazing.I will refrain from commenting on each individual dish as it would be too long, but the quality of each piece of bread is clear.In particular, the way the foie gras and wagyu beef were brought out was wonderful, and it was a course meal that was visually enjoyable.Of course, not only the dinner, but also the breakfast was salmon and eggs Benedict, which was a masterpiece that made everyone happy from the morning. My eyes suddenly became clear lol.The room, including the private open-air bath, felt a sense of unity with the forest, and it was a wonderful inn that I would like to stay at again.thank you very much!

A remote hot spring hotel with about 3 roomsLarge sense of space, high degree of freedom, and high privacyIt’s particularly atmospheric on snowy days (note that you must have snow protection equipment when driving! ( • ̀ω•́ )✧)Friendly service staff, exquisite food, average or above tasteThe hot spring in the room is small. It is recommended to spend a certain amount of money to reserve a larger room.

Each room has its own private open-air bath.The hotel was newly built and had all the latest equipment.The cuisine is French courses.The taste is perfect.Also, the breakfast was a multi-course meal, so I was full from the morning.Yufu City's hometown tax can be used.Definitely a repeat.

Wonderful secluded location! !I was satisfied with the breakfast, dinner, and French course meal🤭At night, there are no lights around, so the night sky is quite beautiful! !I heard a deer cry at dawn, but unfortunately I couldn't see it...😭As someone who reviewed it 4 years ago wrote, it was a shame that the blindfold enclosure in the open-air bath had been broken since then, and there seemed to be no intention to cover it up again with a black curtain 🤔
