Yufuin Matousou

A charming accommodation limited to only three groups per day, offering an exceptional stay with its location and outstanding hospitality, allowing guests to fully enjoy a country-like retreat from check-in to check-out. The twin room features a veranda overlooking a vineyard, with trains running almost parallel to the accommodation at its edge. In the evening, you can witness the slow passage of night trains against the backdrop of a serene countryside sunset. The bathroom is designed with glass walls (ensuring privacy from outside), allowing guests to gaze at the night sky and stars when turning off the lights during nighttime baths. This unique feature, combined with silky-smooth onsen water directly sourced from natural hot springs, invites repeated indulgence throughout your stay—enjoying unlimited access without any interruptions. Additionally, meals include handmade dishes such as Bungo beef and pot-au-feu in perfect portions that are simply delightful. Guests can also savor wine made in-house from grapes grown on-site—a rare treat due to its limited production. Located in Yufuin, one of Japan's most famous onsen destinations, this is truly an extraordinary accommodation experience!

Visited in mid-June with a friend, and we were immediately captivated by the serene and picturesque scenery reminiscent of a European countryside. The exterior and interior felt like a summer retreat villa, with thoughtful touches and attention to detail throughout the Hotel. The amenities and hospitality were excellent, as staff kindly explained how to enjoy Yufuin and its history in detail, which was greatly appreciated. The Onsen's water quality was outstanding, leaving our skin smooth. Both the cuisine and wine were delicious. It was our first time in Oita, but we absolutely fell in love with it. We would love to visit again!
