I found a small sign on the Yamanami Highway and entered the alley. Feeling uneasy about the narrowness of the road, I saw a dark building as my destination, so I went all the way in and parked my car.It is divided into the front desk/dining room, accommodation building (4 rooms), and hot springs (3 private baths), and you can go back and forth wearing geta.You can take a private hot spring bath any time you like, and the water is nice.During the all-you-can-drink meal, we were offered rare and recommended shochu and sake, and we had a great time chatting with each other. The giblet hot pot I chose was full of giblets.I think it's a great place for people who like today's sweet drinks, but it was too sweet for me, who prefers light and dry drinks, and the Kyushu sweet soy sauce added a layer of flavor to the dish. sorry.It was great to be able to see Mt. Yufu in the setting sun from the parking lot.

We had a BBQ course outside. The heat had eased, and the welcome draft beer we drank outside was very delicious.It seemed like a family business, and everyone, including the host, was friendly and nice. Of course, the hot water was perfect, and the heat was perfect. I would like to visit you again✨

About 20 minutes walk from Yufuin Station. It's quiet and relaxing. The quaint atmosphere and private bath are the best. You can drink various kinds of alcohol recommended by the owner. Outdoor barbecues are also recommended.The signboard dog, Koharu-chan, is also cute.

A small inn with 4 rooms. On the other hand, there are 3 private baths, so you can use them as much as you like from check-in to check-out with almost no waiting.The hot water is soft and has a very pleasant quality to the touch.Both dinner and breakfast here are delicious.When making a reservation, you can choose the main dish for dinner from among several types. In addition, several kinds of dishes including sashimi are offered, and I was surprised that they were all delicious! ️For drinkers, we highly recommend the all-you-can-drink plan.The owner will recommend rare items such as sake, shochu, and whisky.The original Kabosu sour is also delicious.

Since I stayed during Golden Week, Yufuin was naturally full of people and cars, but I was able to spend a relaxing time in a place a little away from the crowds. You can also walk to the convenience store in about 10 minutes one way without getting stuck in traffic. It's also within walking distance of Yufuin Station, so it's very convenient. Because it is on a hill, you can see the morning mist.

Stayed in early March. About a 25 minute walk from Yufuin Station. It was difficult to walk because there were hills along the way.When checking in at the front desk, at the entranceThere was a pet seat (toilet) and I stepped on it! I felt terrible.The inn is a two-story building with only four rooms, and the private hot springs that will make your skin smooth are fed directly from the source, and there are three buildings that are always open.There was a family with small children in the next room, and the children were running around and crying, making it very noisy. The inn is quite noisy, so please be quiet. I can hear people going up and down the stairs and snoring next door.I hadn't eaten chocolate since I arrived at the hotel, but it was all stuck to my yukata and I felt disgusting. Moreover, it is on the back side of the yukata, around the chest.It was a bit disappointing because the customer service of the innkeeper and landlady was very good.

I don't want to tell too many people. A really nice place to relax and relax. The sake carefully selected by the host is also delicious.
