ยุฟุอิน × โรงแรม·เรียวกัง ที่มีการประเมินน้ำพุร้อนและอ่างอาบน้ำในระดับสูง - 3หน้า

The Onsen is a beautiful blue color. The open-air bath is set in lush nature and very relaxing. The meals are delicious, and the restaurant is a lovely wooden building; since it has private rooms, you can dine at a leisurely pace. The staff were very kind—because it was raining, they came to greet us in the parking lot with an umbrella. There were many international staff members, so there were moments when Japanese was hard to communicate in, but everyone was hardworking and friendly. The building feels old, but the inside is clean with a cozy mountain-lodge atmosphere. I stayed on a weekday in June and was surprised at how affordable it was considering how good the service was. When I visit Yufuin, I definitely want to stay at this Hotel again.

My wife wanted to visit Yufuin for the first time, so we stayed here. It’s in a quiet location, and the dinner and breakfast served in the thatched-roof main house were delicious. The bath was also very comfortable at just the right temperature. However, we did see stink bugs, crickets, and winged ants in the washroom and hallways, and my wife—who dislikes insects—was not happy about that. Still, since there is a semi-open-air bath, it’s understandable that insects may come in during this hot season. Other than that, it was an excellent Accommodation, and next time I’d like to bring our grandchildren.

The building, grounds, interiors, and cuisine are all works of art. The guest rooms are spacious, and not only is the greenery outside the windows beautiful, but the mountain scenery beyond feels like an ink-wash painting even in heavy rain and thick mist. The semi-open-air indoor bath also features a refined design, with pleasantly soothing spring water that makes you want to linger. A wonderful Hotel I would love to return to.

We stayed here for our honeymoon, and the staff welcomed us with big smiles and congratulations, which made us smile too. Although it’s a small property, both the Room and the garden have a charming atmosphere, and we appreciated the service at the gazebo next to the Onsen. The food was delicious, and it was especially nice at breakfast to grill fish and nori ourselves. The rice was so good that we had seconds. Above all, the staff were warm and attentive, and we’d love to come back.

The meals were delicious, and the sashimi was very fresh. There were several types of open-air baths, which we really enjoyed. The owner couple were very kind and even helped us with local sightseeing recommendations, which was greatly appreciated.

We stayed here to celebrate a family member’s birthday. The dining staff provided outstanding service and even prepared a cake for dessert, which made the celebration a success. It became an irreplaceable family memory. Thank you very much.

We made a Reservation to celebrate my parents’ anniversary. It was the children’s first time experiencing a real Onsen, and they were thrilled. They prepared the largest Room for us, and both dinner and breakfast were delicious—beautifully presented and very generous. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches, like a complimentary pouch for female guests and glowing bracelets for the kids. All of the staff were wonderful, and we’re truly glad we chose this Accommodation!

Choosing this place among so many options was something I truly don’t regret. We had a wonderful experience! From the very first welcome drink and warm hospitality, to the meals, the private detached room, and our own bath (Onsen), and even the lounge—everything felt special and far from everyday life, and we were able to relax completely. It was amazing! Three women (a bit older) on a cousins’ trip—we were very satisfied. The value for money was outstanding!!!

This is my third visit. The meals are delicious, and since there is a bath in the Room, you can enjoy it 24 hours a day. The resident dog, Luna, is also very calm and adorable! It’s a Ryokan I truly love—quiet, relaxing, and an extraordinary space where you can unwind. There’s also a dog run where they can run around freely, so the dogs are thrilled! Next time, we’re talking about coming back for a Multiple Night Stay with my husband.

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.

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.

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!

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.

A room with extraordinary spaciousness, high ceilings, and a private atmosphere as it is detached. The staff's hospitality was excellent, making it a facility I would recommend even to my most critical friends.

My first solo trip after turning 50, to Yufuin—a place I had always wanted to visit. Among the many Onsen Ryokans, I chose Hotaru for its room with an open-air bath. Traveling by plane and bus, I was grateful for the Shuttle Service from the station. The detached room was lovely; though it rained, the rock bath had a partially covered area, allowing me to soak without getting wet while enjoying the raindrops falling into the bath—a truly serene experience. The room was clean and comfortable, perfect even for a solo traveler like me. The Onsen water was incredibly smooth—unlike anything I've experienced before—and felt amazing on my skin. The view was breathtaking as well. In the morning, as it cleared up, I watched Mount Yufu's mist and clouds shift by the minute, revealing various beautiful faces of the mountain—I didn’t want to leave! The meals were made with local Oita ingredients and were absolutely delicious; I left feeling completely satisfied. If I visit this area again, I'd love to stay in the same room at Hotaru once more!

Our annual train trip with three couples… this year, Done: Yufuin!! After careful consideration, we visited Pension Naganogou for a preview. The cute Room with neatly arranged beds had a great feel. The baths were private and available anytime, and the open-air bath was the best!! For dinner, all guests gathered on the wooden deck, each around our own table. The main dishes included Bungo beef and charcoal-grilled local chicken, along with salt-grilled ayu sweetfish, dango soup, and many small side dishes—everything was delicious. For dessert, the homemade pudding made by the hostess was amazing. We could also enjoy breakfast outside, making this a very satisfying preview visit. We truly appreciated the Shuttle Service to Yufuin Station as well. We’ll be back in October. Thank you very much.

This was my first visit. From the courteous phone call before our stay, to the warm welcome on arrival, the quiet and spotless Room where we could truly relax, the many dishes filled with nothing but delicious flavors, and the Onsen at just the right temperature that made us want to soak forever… It was truly a blissful time. Even if you’d like to go but aren’t sure about chicken tataki, they will change it in advance by phone to other Oita specialties such as toriten (chicken tempura). It’s a wonderful Accommodation where you can fully feel the warmth of the owner and staff while they maintain a comfortable sense of distance, so I highly recommend staying here if you want to unwind. Since we live far away it’s not easy to visit often, but whenever we travel to Kyushu we will definitely stop by again. Thank you very much for your wonderful hospitality.

We took a 3-night, 4-day trip to Oita with our 4-year-old daughter and stayed here in Yufuin on the final night. Since we had spent the previous two nights at a large Hotel in Beppu, we chose this place because we wanted to relax somewhere quiet in Yufuin. Each guest room is set apart like a separate annex, and the nostalgic atmosphere—like visiting a countryside grandparent’s home—was wonderfully calming. For our daughter, everything felt new and exciting since she doesn’t have things like shoji screens, sliding doors, or a kotatsu at home, and she really enjoyed it. The meals were beautifully presented and delicious, and the baths were not crowded, so we could fully enjoy the spacious open-air bath at our own pace. It was also great that even though it’s in such a convenient location with easy access to Yunotsubo Kaido just a short walk along the river, we could still stay in peace and quiet. I’m glad we were able to end our Oita trip at this Accommodation—it became a wonderful memory for us.

The Room and the free-flowing open-air Onsen bath were both spacious, and we enjoyed a truly luxurious stay. The proprietress and staff were also very pleasant, and we were extremely satisfied. Mt. Yufu was beautiful as well. The chilled alcohol in the refrigerator was a welcome touch for someone like me who loves sake. The location is quiet, surrounded by rice fields. Since you’ll turn onto some narrow roads along the way, don’t forget to set your navigation system properly. I drove without much planning and got pretty lost. They also offer free bicycle rentals, so if you’re heading toward the station area for dinner, I recommend using them. Checking in and going straight to the Onsen right away really is wonderful.

We stayed in a detached guest room with a private open-air bath. At first, the water was too hot to get in, but after dinner it was just right. The owner was very kind and friendly, and chatted with us warmly. The location was also great, as we could walk to Lake Kinrin.
