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.

A quiet Accommodation surrounded by nature, lovingly built by the owner—spacious, spotless, and with an amazing view. There is also a well-equipped BBQ hut in a separate building and a large dog run, so both our dog (a large breed) and our small children were very happy. We’d love to stay again.

We stayed for one night with breakfast and dinner included, in the detached Japanese-style Room with two rooms -Sazanka-. The meals were excellent; we didn’t really need two rooms (lol), but the sound of the river was quite loud, like a ventilation fan running all the time. Everyone at the Ryokan was friendly, which was great. The Onsen could be used as much as we wanted during the available hours—we used the in-Room Onsen and the private bath, for a total of five times. We’d like to stay again next time.

Thank you for taking care of us during Silver Week. It was an old Onsen town, but it was very quiet, and we were able to relax and enjoy the Onsen. The food was very delicious, and the proprietress and her family welcomed us warmly. We would like to visit again during firefly season.

The villa was more spacious and cleaner than we expected—almost too luxurious for just the two of us. The large open-air bath outside was wonderfully relaxing, and we enjoyed the Onsen while feeling close to nature, soaking many times. Mt. Yufu looked beautiful right in front of us, and the indoor Onsen bath was also great. We only had breakfast, but it was prepared in the refrigerator, so we could eat at whatever time we liked in the kitchen, and it was delicious. We’d love to stay again in a different season.

Dinner was very satisfying, featuring unique and delicious creative dishes and other tasty items made with local ingredients such as Oita beef. The bath was also wonderful, with a great view from the open-air bath that felt very relaxing.

The smoking area location was disappointing. There is a beautiful fragrant osmanthus tree blooming near the entrance, but the scent was ruined by cigarette smoke because the smoking area is right next to it. A smoking area in that spot by the entrance? Even when we opened the guestroom window, the smell came in. It was a shame for an inn named after flowers. Otherwise, it was a very pleasant place to stay.

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!

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.

This was our first stay as a couple. The building shows its age, but it has been beautifully renovated and kept very clean. On the day of our stay, there was one indoor bath, one open-air bath, and two private baths. After dinner we used a private bath, and the next morning we enjoyed the open-air bath. The water temperature seems to be adjusted by adding cold water; for me it felt a bit hot at first but quickly became just right and very relaxing. The food was excellent—everything was delicious, including salt-grilled yamame trout and wild herb chips—and after returning home I had gained 1 kg. We were worried about ferry service due to the typhoon, but there were no issues. At night, looking up at the sky felt so close, and Orion shone beautifully—it was truly moving. We would love to visit again.

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.

The place was exceptionally clean and very comfortable! I’d love to stay here again.

We were very satisfied. The meals were perfect for us in our 50s—great flavor, a good variety of dishes, and more than enough quantity. The seasonal ingredients and colorful presentation made dinner truly enjoyable. It felt different (in a good way) from accommodations that host large tour groups—this place had a charming, nostalgic Showa-era atmosphere. The hot spring can be enjoyed at your leisure as much as you like, and it was especially recommended for those with physical fatigue from standing work or other manual labor; my legs felt refreshed and light afterward. Not recommended for guests who want to stay up late making noise or who are very sensitive to sounds. Recommended for tired travelers who want to relax and enjoy an escape from everyday life at a slow pace. Another place we’d love to return to has been added to our list.

Thank you for your warm hospitality—we headed home with gratitude. It’s a traditional Japanese house we’d love to stay at again.

We stayed here on our way to Kumamoto, visiting places like Hita and Yume Otsuribashi. Upon arrival, the staff promptly helped us with our luggage. Since there were few guests staying, we were allowed to use the men's onsen as a private family bath. The outdoor onsen had a silky texture that felt like applying lotion to the skin. As our room only had a shower, this was a very appreciated service. The room featured elegant furnishings that must have been impressive when first opened. While some signs of aging were noticeable (like loose closet knobs), everything was kept clean and tidy. The TV was quite small—less than 20 inches—and we found ourselves standing close to watch it at times. Normally, we don't watch much TV during trips, but since the weather was bad and there wasn't much else to do outside, it became a way to pass time indoors. On clear nights, I imagine the stars would be stunningly visible. Dinner consisted of course meals and everything tasted delicious! Although I knew this when making my reservation, breakfast offered only one option: Western-style with fried eggs as the main dish. Since this is not a large hotel catering to many guests, having no buffet is understandable (and I personally don’t prefer buffets). However, I would have loved an option for Japanese-style breakfast. On October 19th during our stay, there was one tree within the property showing autumn colors already turning red. By November, you can likely enjoy vibrant red and yellow foliage. This accommodation is perfect for those looking forward to enjoying onsen and meals here—thank you very much!

Very satisfied. The hostess was friendly, and the food was extremely delicious. The Onsen town had a charming atmosphere, was quiet, and allowed for a relaxing stay.

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.

Although the Accommodation is run by a small team, thank you for providing more than adequate hospitality. I was surprised to see a Nepalese staff member offering heartfelt, Japanese-style service. I’m not sure whether it comes down to personal skill or thorough training, but seeing how they supported the other international staff made me feel their ability is exceptional. The service side is already very strong, so if you continue making consistent investments in your Facility, I believe you will also help boost the overall appeal of Amagase Onsen. If I have another opportunity, I would be happy to stay in Ukiha again.

I stayed here on a motorcycle trip. There is a covered motorcycle parking area right behind the inn, which was very convenient. The waterfall-style bath was also nearby, and I was able to buy eggs at the inn to make onsen eggs at Komatsu Onsen. The meals were very delicious. I really enjoyed Sujiyu Onsen.
