The hot springs, food, customer service, rooms, and facilities were all wonderful.I stayed in the room "Kichi".There is a nice atmosphere from the front entrance.●Hot springIt seems that the proprietress uses the simmering hot spring water that she is particular about.The quality of the spring water, which is like a lotion, is probably top class in Yufuin.I have visited Yufuin many times, but the quality of the spring water was the best ever.The open-air bath in the room was pleasant, and I was surprised to find that there were four private baths, and they were about the same size as a regular public bath.As everyone has said, one of the four rooms we reserved was so hot that it felt like it would burn your feet if you soaked it (lol).However, the quality of the spring water was amazing! It was the best!●MealsIt was a room meal. It was nice that there was a space in the room where you could eat so you couldn't see your room.The food...all of it was delicious!I'm already full! ! !The pork and ginger sweet and sour spring rolls were delicious! ! !●Rooms/FacilitiesThe rooms are named after sumo wrestlers.I think it's irresistible for sumo lovers.The gallery was also beautiful.There were also exhibits related to sumo wrestlers.The painting is said to have been painted by a painter from Yufuin.The size of the private bath, the quality of the spring water, and the quality of the water are irresistible for sumo fans, so I think they should promote it more on their website and Instagram!It's a waste since it's such a wonderful place (lol)I can confidently recommend it to friends and family.

At check-in, from the staff carrying your luggage to seeing you off when you check out, the hospitality, and the attentiveness of the landlady.Spacious rooms, tasteful interiors of the lobby and rooms.Water server in the room.There is a large balcony (smoking is allowed on the balcony), and a hot spring that is constantly flowing directly from the source and can be accessed 24 hours a day in your room. (Lighting is slightly dim)Due to the distance, we are taking care not to come into contact with other guests during this coronavirus period.Best of all, the meals can be eaten in a private room with a spectacular view of Mt. Yufu, using locally produced and locally consumed ingredients and high-quality ingredients.The cold and hot items are delivered one by one in separate bowls, and can be eaten with chopsticks. The creative dishes and the variety of dishes were so vivid and delicate that it brought tears to my eyes.Is there no other place with this cost performance in Yufuin?It was so perfect and soothing.Thank you for your wonderful time.
