Yufuin ZEN

Choosing the Plan with breakfast and dinner was absolutely the right decision.Using the ingredients as they are, with a clever twist here and there, we found ourselves saying “oh!” again and again—it was a real delight.We highly recommend the meal Plan.The Room was clean, and the Onsen was very relaxing.It exceeded our expectations for the price. We’re already looking forward to the meals on our next stay.Our sincere thanks to all of your staff.Thank you, and until we meet again.

It was a bit hard to find the first time, but once you get used to it, the location is very convenient. Because I have dietary restrictions, I couldn’t try the highly rated dinner, so I had soba at my usual relaxing place instead. I did have breakfast—simple, well-balanced, and satisfying.I enjoyed the hot spring before and after breakfast in the morning, and twice again at night. The Room is simple, with a bed that lets you sleep well and double windows. It’s quiet thanks to good soundproofing; when you open them, the pleasant sounds feel great.I stay here on my way back from the gym in Kitakyushu. After check-out, I take a walk around Yufuin and Lake Kinrin. On the way home I buy Komatsu’s ohagi, then have lunch near the interchange at a hilltop shop with vegetables and soup. In winter it’s an oyster hut afterward, or fugu in town—then head home, stop by the gym for another quick sweat session, and go back home. It’s great that no one complains even if I’m still in gym clothes.Thank you as always for your warm welcome. I also really appreciate having two sets of towels prepared for me.
