In early June, we stayed at Kuju-san in search of fireflies. Dinner at this Accommodation was amazing! Freshly cooked, steaming rice was served with a smile at just the right times as our meal progressed, and we could really feel their thoughtful hospitality. The portions were so generous we thought we couldn’t finish, but we ate almost everything!! Even the staff were surprised!!! After dinner, the fireflies welcomed us with a jewel-like sparkle—an unforgettable natural spectacle that made us forget everyday life. Truly moving, again and again... When we asked the staff for advice about our trip the next day, they kindly offered helpful suggestions, making it a memorable journey. This was an Accommodation that is truly kind to travelers. Sorry for the late note of thanks—thank you very much to everyone for taking such good care of us.

Both the Onsen and the food were excellent, and we were very satisfied. The irori-style cuisine was especially outstanding, and together with the atmosphere, it made for a truly luxurious time. The Onsen was also very relaxing, allowing us to unwind and forget about everyday life. Overall, it was very comfortable, and we felt completely refreshed. A wonderful place that we would definitely like to visit again.

Bringing our two preschool grandchildren with us, choosing the detached Accommodation was the right decision. It was even the same Room my husband and I had stayed in before! It seemed to be their first time experiencing an open-air bath attached to the Room, and they were thrilled. Since it’s a standalone house, we could relax and enjoy ourselves without worrying about disturbing others even if they got a little noisy. Meals were served in a private dining room, and not only was the food excellent, but above all the service was outstanding. All of the staff were from overseas, but they welcomed us with wonderful smiles, making our meal truly pleasant.

Thank you for hosting us during Silver Week. It was very quiet and relaxing, and we were able to unwind. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious. Dinner in particular was more than we could finish—everything was wonderful, including the freshly grilled char and the freshly cooked kamameshi rice. The private hot spring bath was also great. It’s a family-run place with a warm, homey atmosphere. It seems each room has different decor, which was very charming.

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.

We stayed on a room-only plan. The hot spring was a sulfur spring at a comfortable temperature, and both the open-air and indoor baths were clean and very relaxing. We weren’t familiar with the private-bath system, but the proprietress explained it carefully, and we never had trouble getting in even when others were using it—so we could enjoy it as much as we liked at any time (the indoor bath is available 24 hours; the open-air bath is available until 10:00 p.m.). The in-room amenities were well stocked, Wi-Fi was available, and we had no inconveniences during our stay. This isn’t unique to this property, but roads in hot spring areas are narrow, so a small car is recommended.

This was my first stay in Yufuin Onsen. A week before my stay, there had been heavy rain and I was told train services were suspended, but the staff’s phone support left a very positive impression. I chose a detached Accommodation, and the Room was clean and the Onsen was excellent. There was something like insect repellent spray in the Room, so I wondered if there might be a lot of bugs, but it didn’t bother me at all. Both dinner and breakfast were very generous portions and simply delicious. The amount is more than I can finish, so I feel bad leaving food; I would appreciate it if you could offer a smaller-portion Plan as well.

This was our fourth stay. Ever since our first visit, we’ve been impressed by the delicious meals, the relaxing Onsen, and the wonderful hospitality of the proprietress and all the staff—an Accommodation that always makes us want to return. It also has a charming, nostalgic atmosphere, and the Room was spotless and beautifully maintained—nothing to complain about. We’re planning to visit again next year, and we’re already looking forward to it.

Simply the best. The Onsen, cuisine, atmosphere, and service—everything was outstanding. Above all, the hospitality from the staff was truly exceptional, and I felt comfortable from arrival to departure. Soaking in the Onsen in the quiet mountains and enjoying delicious food. It was a luxurious time like no other. I will definitely come again. Next time, I’d like a Multiple Night Stay.

This was my third stay. In the super-hot sauna for 5 minutes, the freezing cold mineral spring for 5 minutes, then a 5-minute rest. Doing this for 3–5 sets feels amazing. After that, I enjoyed a delicious dinner and slept soundly. The next morning, I had breakfast and did the sauna, mineral spring, and rest again—perfectly refreshed. It was fantastic. The Accommodation had a strong retro Showa-era vibe. Don’t forget a thick sauna hat!

Easily accessible from Makinoto Pass, this is a great hotel with both meals and an onsen. Dinner offers a wide variety of dishes that will leave you full. Breakfast is also delicious. The onsen includes family baths with open-air options as well as indoor baths, providing a wonderful experience. While the building and rooms may show some age, it is still a highly recommended accommodation.

Everything—from the meals, baths, and Room to the staff’s hospitality—was absolutely satisfying. Both breakfast and dinner were beautifully presented and truly delicious. In addition to what was served at the table for dinner, a separate table was set up with obanzai (Kyoto-style small dishes). Everything I tried was delicious. The broccoli salad, marinated tomatoes, and pickled quail eggs in particular were so good I wanted to try every single dish. Breakfast offered both Japanese- and Western-style options, which I really enjoyed. The baths and Room—and in fact the entire Ryokan—were spotless and very clean. Thoughtful touches were everywhere: trays for jewelry in the bathroom and at the sink in the Room, as well as a warm note about what to do if insects appear along with insect spray provided. It made me feel genuinely happy. And at this price point—I’m truly grateful. I don’t usually want to return to the same Accommodation, but this is a wonderful place that makes me want to come back.

I chose this place because it has an Onsen and a massage chair. As soon as I arrived, I filled the Onsen with water, and it quickly filled up to the perfect temperature. I spent my time alternating between the bath and the massage chair, which helped me fully relax and relieve my daily fatigue. There was also a Famicom available, so I tried playing it for the first time in my life. I got slightly better at it and almost lost track of time. But no worries! With a 1:00 PM checkout, I was able to enjoy everything to the fullest.

We stayed for one night from July 4 to 5. The building looks quite old from the outside, but the interior has been beautifully renovated, and we had a very comfortable stay. My spouse and I travel every year, and this place was a real find. Every dish was delicious, and there was so much food that we were completely full—very satisfying. Above all, the hostess’s personality made the biggest impression. Her warm, pleasant hospitality made our stay truly enjoyable. We would love to return if we have the chance again. Thank you very much for everything.

Due to a typhoon, I had to change my pre-hike accommodation at short notice, and I’m glad I stayed here—the Onsen was wonderful, and I was able to rest well for the hike the next day. They also let me bathe after the hike, which was fantastic! If I have the chance, I’d love to stay again.

I stayed with my parents upon their recommendation and was completely satisfied with everything. The delicious meals were more than enough, the building had a charming atmosphere, and the autumn leaves visible from the semi-open-air bath were breathtaking. It reminded me of my grandmother and brought a sense of warmth and relaxation. It was such a wonderful accommodation that I would love to stay again.

The room comes with an open-air bath, so you can enjoy the Onsen anytime. The meals are also satisfying. I would love to visit again.

I used it for a trip with him at the beginning of the year. It was a whole building rental, and there was a bath in the room, so we could relax as much as we wanted without worrying about the surroundings. Dinner was a special New Year's menu with fish and meat, and it was very satisfying. Above all, the rice cooked in a personal earthenware pot for breakfast was very delicious, and he was very pleased. Since it was New Year's, we were also given sake as a service on our way back. Thank you for taking care of us this time. It is a property I would definitely like to use again.

The price is reasonable, and the food (BBQ) and the drinks in the refrigerator were excellent! Having a bath and sauna in the same building is very convenient. However, due to low water pressure in the shower, I rate the Facility 4 stars.

We stayed here as a family. There are Rooms on the second floor as well, and each family member found their favorite spot and spent time in their own way. I wished the beds were a bit firmer, but the Onsen left our skin feeling smooth, and the free-flowing natural hot spring water was amazing! Surrounded by the Onsen and nature, it was a place that brought smiles to our whole family. We’d love to stay again if we have the chance.
