Nationwide × Accommodation For Enjoying Walks In The Onsen TownHighly rated facilities at Hotel·Ryokan - 74Page Number

At Kawa-no-Yu, where we checked in, the staff kindly provided detailed information not only about the Accommodation but also about local gourmet spots nearby. The selection of traditional Japanese sweets was also fun. The Accommodation had a wonderful retro Showa-era atmosphere, and the rooms were thoroughly cleaned, making our stay very comfortable. The Onsen water quality was excellent—I slept well and felt completely refreshed! With the bath pass, you can enjoy the public baths multiple times. Highly recommended for solo travelers as well; I’ll definitely stay again!!

Thank you for hosting us during the Obon holiday period in 2026. - Since the Accommodation is a member of the onsen association, you can use the public bath (Hakoyu) about a 2–3 minute walk away for half price (350 yen). If you like public baths, you may feel there’s no need for an in-house bath. There is also a shared shower at the Accommodation (Reservation required at the front desk). - There is paid parking about a 5-minute walk away for 500 yen per night. Even if you stay at a large Hotel, it’s common to have parking that’s a similar walking distance, so I didn’t find it inconvenient that this Accommodation doesn’t have on-site parking. It was 500 yen per day, and the parking attendant told me it’s the same price through the next morning after your stay, which I appreciated. - The interior seems to have been renovated in recent years—simple, clean, and well kept. Compared with what I expected from the name “shukubo” and the price, it was very comfortable and I’d like to stay again. - The second-floor triple Room had a nice view of the park and Shuzenji Temple from the window, with good airflow as well. - It’s best to pack light; the stairs are steep and narrow. - Soundproofing is limited. Being considerate of noise feels important to avoid issues. It may not suit guests who want to be lively in their Room late into the night. At normal hours with normal conversation volume, I wasn’t particularly bothered by voices from neighboring Rooms. I hope this helps.

We stayed for one night with breakfast and dinner included. The staff were kind, and the meals were delicious—we were very satisfied! Our child was thrilled and said, “I want to stay here again!”

The more you travel, the more your 기준 for choosing an Accommodation shifts from “luxury” to “essential comfort.” Tucked away in a mountain gorge at 1,000 meters above sea level in Kokonoe, Oita, Tabinoyado Yamatsubaki feels like the final paradise discerning travelers eventually find. Its greatest value lies in its intentionally limited number of rooms. Far removed from the bustle of a large Ryokan, it offers complete privacy—paired with perfectly judged hospitality that is attentive without ever feeling intrusive. From the moment you arrive, you can feel everyday life quietly fade away. The open-air bath is simply unforgettable. In crisp, unobstructed air, soaking in superb free-flowing Onsen while watching the starry sky shift moment by moment becomes more than a bath—it’s an indulgent sense of oneness with nature. For an Accommodation with such a private atmosphere, the generous space throughout is exceptional and especially appealing to wellness-minded travelers. As I was visiting after business and didn’t want to inconvenience the owner couple, I booked a stay with breakfast only—but each dish at breakfast told its own story. Every bite was spot-on and far beyond expectations. I regretted not ordering dinner so much that I could only think afterward: “Why didn’t I?” I also learned that at nearby Komatsu Jigoku—reopened for sightseeing after restoration completed in summer 2025—you can make Onsen eggs yourself. They kindly sold me eggs upon request and graciously accommodated my last-minute favor. I visited in early summer, but reaching Kokonoe’s mountains when they are covered in snow will likely require some preparation. Even so, that challenge only adds to the thrill of heading into a hidden retreat. Nature, renowned hot springs, and outstanding cuisine—Yamatsubaki brings them together in near-perfect balance. It isn’t just somewhere to stay; it’s a destination in itself—a truly one-of-a-kind Accommodation worth traveling for.

It was conveniently located near the station, with many restaurants and convenience stores nearby. The Room was new, very clean, and comfortable to stay in. Although it was a self check-in, the owner was very courteous and communication was smooth, so I felt at ease during my stay. It was a wonderful Room that made even my first unmanned stay worry-free, and I would like to use it again.

The room had been renovated and was very comfortable. The open-air bath was a good size and very enjoyable. Above all, the quality of the hot spring water was excellent. Dinner felt a bit too plentiful. The yakiniku was charcoal-grilled, but the indoor ventilation wasn’t strong enough, so the room filled with smoke and it was quite difficult; I would have preferred options like grilling in the kitchen or teppanyaki-style cooking on a ceramic plate with solid fuel. I didn’t expect much sashimi in Yufuin, and at my age I’m tired of typical Japanese kaiseki dishes such as chawanmushi and tempura.

The meals were even better than I expected from the Reviews, and I could tell they were prepared with great care and time. I reserved a Room on the third floor, but the stairs are steep, so I don’t think I could return unless my legs are still strong enough. Yufuin Onsen seems to have many Accommodations. I highly recommend Hakuunso.

The room was neither too spacious nor too small, just the right size for two adults. The room was also clean (though I noticed a long hair on the robe, which concerned me slightly). The bath was an open-air one, and while there were houses a bit further away that made me wonder if they could see in, there were adjustable automatic shutters. When fully lowered, they completely blocked the view from outside and kept out the cold air. Despite snow remaining from the previous day, we could enjoy a warm soak without feeling chilly. The temperature of the bath was just right for relaxing. Concerns: We chose a plan with in-room dining for our meals. However, after grilling meat during dinner, its smell lingered throughout the room until bedtime. While it might have been our oversight as well, future guests opting for this plan might want to keep their bedroom doors closed during meals to avoid this issue. It would be considerate if staff could mention this when serving meals or perhaps provide additional amenities like room sprays alongside air purifiers to enhance comfort further. That said, the meat was tender and delicious; other dishes were also very tasty with portions that felt just right. With free beer dispensers, ice cream machines, drinks in the fridge available at no extra cost, and even foot baths provided—this is overall a wonderful accommodation! Next time I’d love to visit again with my mother. Thank you for your hospitality!

We stayed with our 4-year-old. With a loft and a terrace, our child was delighted, saying, “What a lovely house!” The place was well prepared for the cold, with plenty of flowers and soft indirect lighting. The bathroom and changing area were spacious and easy to use. It would have been perfect if it had an Onsen, but the water was pleasantly soft. We also appreciated the juice and snacks as a parting gift. We’d love to stay again!

Run by a warm and thoughtful couple. The entire property is spotless, and we were truly impressed by the carefully prepared breakfast and dinner. An outstanding Accommodation in every way.

For me, trips are something you remember forever when something unexpected happens. This stay at Masuya Ryokan was just like that. There were several small stories woven between people. It was truly enjoyable, and I’d love to visit again.

Stayed in a detached accommodation with an open-air bath. Enjoyed multiple baths, the room was clean, and I could relax! The meals were delicious, plentiful, and very satisfying. However, the attendant was a bit unfriendly and mumbled while speaking, which was intimidating. Also, there were stairs; although they provided sandals, it felt safer to wear shoes. Overall, I was very satisfied. The food was truly delicious!

From the moment I stepped inside, I loved the refined space at first sight. The interior and lighting were wonderful, and it felt like a special escape from everyday life. The Room was also functional and comfortable, and I was impressed by how thoroughly the spacious Room was cleaned down to every detail. It’s very convenient—just a 1-minute walk from the station. The staff were all lovely and kind, making this a highly satisfying stay. Next time, sightseeing in Yufuin will be just a bonus—I’d love to return with my stay at GEMS YUFUIN as the main purpose!

An Accommodation in Yunohira Onsen, a quiet retreat in the Yufuin area. Run by a husband and wife, it has a calm atmosphere that feels like coming back to your family home in the countryside. Dinner was outstanding—especially the Bungo beef grilled on a ceramic plate. We also enjoyed the seasonal dessert. The miso soup at breakfast was hearty with plenty of ingredients—one of our favorites. The Onsen baths can be reserved for private use: an indoor hinoki bath and an open-air rock bath. We’ll be back!

The hot spring water is sourced directly from the spring, with both lukewarm and hot baths available, as well as an open-air bath. Visiting during a less crowded period allows for a relaxing soak to relieve fatigue. I look forward to visiting again.

We stayed as a couple with one dog. From the time of our Reservation, they kindly answered our questions and provided details by email, so we felt at ease throughout our stay. The first floor has a cafe-style setup, which is quite unique and was really fun! Everything was very clean, and we were able to relax comfortably. Although it’s located along the road, we didn’t notice any traffic noise and slept soundly until morning. The bathroom also had a bubble bath, which was great! We drove this time, but even without a car it’s close to the Onsen area, with restaurants and a convenience store nearby, so No Meals Included was not an issue. If we have another chance to visit Hokuriku, we would love to stay here again. Thank you for your hospitality!

It was a wonderful Ryokan with a rich sense of history and charm. Everything was well explained and carefully maintained, and the private Onsen was excellent. I would definitely like to stay again if I have the chance. Thank you very much.

We stayed here with our dog during the Obon holiday period. When we weren’t sure how to check in and contacted the staff, they guided us very kindly, which made us feel at ease. The biggest appeal is being able to relax and spend private time with our dog without worrying about other guests. Kinrinko Lake and the shopping street are also within walking distance, so we could take our dog for leisurely walks in the morning and at night. They provided pet amenities such as a food tray and pee pads. BBQ equipment, charcoal, and firewood were also available, which was very convenient. There is also a private Onsen, so we could bathe freely at any time without concern. Next time, we’d like to invite our parents and siblings’ families as well.

We had a wonderful, relaxing time with our dog. The Room was clean and comfortable, and we loved being able to enjoy the private Onsen whenever we wanted. The staff were kind and helpful, so we felt at ease throughout our stay. Our whole family was able to unwind with our dog, making it a truly enjoyable experience. It also became a great summer vacation memory for our children, and we would love to stay again. Thank you for such a lovely time.

Choosing this place among so many options was truly regret-free. We had a wonderful experience! From the first welcome drink and warm hospitality, to the meals, the detached guest room, and our private bath (Onsen), and even the lounge—everything felt extraordinary, and we could truly relax. It was amazing! A cousins’ trip for three women (a bit older), and we were very satisfied. Excellent value for money!!!
