The property is set in a perfect location of Yufuin, only a few minutes walk to the main streets/ Yufuin Floral village. The staff were very attentive and welcoming, and the property is charming and traditional. The private onsen was a nice touch! The only downside to the hotel is that it’s a little dated and the walls are paper thin. I would recommend ear plugs if a light sleeper! Also, we did not realise that everything in Yufuin closes at 5pm - only 3 restaurants were open in the whole town and one of them was fully booked up so there’s really not much choice. We decided to not book half board as we wanted to try different foods but very nearly got caught out as did not realise everywhere shut…. Just something for travellers to be aware of…

In general the stay was great and the private onsens were also pretty good. But my issue is the sink in my room had an awfully bad smell especially when the water is running. Kind of like an extremely fishy smell which makes me doubt the cleanliness of the water supply

The service here is so good and thoughtful, I cannot emphasize how impressed we were. The staff helped us store our baggage before check in and figure out how to get the baggage to the train station. We were provided a variety of complimentary gifts, and a map of the surrounding area. The room was spacious and clean, and the private baths were a wonderful experience. I’d definitely recommend this hotel to others traveling in this area.

Great location, baths and overall stay!

The check-in process was very smooth from the moment we were greeted as our car pulled into the property. We were able to do some pre-check in as we arrived in the morning and allowed to park our cars there as we explored the town and shops. Upon check-in we were provided small gifts (including beautiful small drawstring bags for all the ladies). The room that our party stayed in was on the top floor. we were greeted with a large spacious tatami room with a super high celling. It was one main room with a Kotatsu table (table with a cover & heater underneath to keep those legs/toes warm). But with the table moved to the side of the room (still able to be used) there was plenty of space for 4 beds. Note that you have to set the beds yourself.
Meals and the private family baths (which we booked ahead of time, for a 1 hour time slot) were in a separate building with a short walk outside (warm jackets for the Yukata were provided in the room). There was a short March the evening we were there so we enjoyed the onsen with snow gently coming down on us which was AMAZING. Family bath was a good size. There was actually a indoor bath and outdoor bath in the same \"private area\".
Dinner and breakfast were in different buildings but both were beautifully and deliciously laid out meals. The morning breakfast we also had a beautiful snowy morning view which enhanced the whole experience.
Short walk down to shopping street and town, also a coin laundry across the street! Great location!

Stayed overnight on a weekend trip to Yufuin. This accommodation is a gem of a place. The staff are very attentive and are present from check in to check out, whether arriving early to drop off your bags, in the restaurants or for the hot baths. They have private and public baths. The public baths are open all day 6am to 2 am, the private mornings and evenings just past midnight. You can book the private bath for your own party for 50 minutes. I had it all to myself. The breakfast and dinner are traditional Japanese and are delicious. Overall a great stay, highly recommended.

Wonderful Onsen Experience

The small onsen hotel is conveniently located just a short 3 min walk to the main strip of the shopping street or a 10 min walk to the Yufuin train station. We were greeted by a friendly and helpful gentleman at check-in and he was thorough in explaining everything we needed to know for our 1-night stay. At time of check-in, we made booking for dinner time and reserved our spots of using the private onsen baths. Each of us received a small gift and that was a nice touch. There are 3 private onsen baths that guests can book twice a day, once in the evening and once in the morning. As we only stayed for one night, we were able to experience two out of the three private baths. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I would highly recommend anyone booking into the hotel to also include the optional dinner and breakfast as food quality and presentation was truly top-notch and authentic Japanese! The terrific dinner menu includes a half-lobster salad and wagyu beef sukiyaki. Very delicious indeed! Our room 302 on the third floor is large in size that features two twin beds with a tatami sitting area. The room is clean and everything is in good working condition. The décor is a little dated but very comfortable. If time permits, I would recommend a short 5-7 min walk to the beautiful Kinrin Lake early in the morning. I would love to return to this hotel! The only negative experience was that I left my portable charger in the room. Well, it's all my own fault!

Wrong choice, better choose another hotel

The reception staff was not friendly and unhelpful.
Check out time is 10am which is ridiculous and no fusion bed making service - I had to make the fusion on my own. I’ve been stayed in many onsen hotels and this was the first time with self service fusion bed making. We’ve been allocated to a handicapped room which I didn’t understand as
the hotel is not full and the total no of guests stayed on the day was no more than 8 people. No amenities at the onsen and the facility is outdated. With this price I would definitely choose other hotel.

Ethically Run Ryokan - THE BEST

In July, I booked a twins suite with tatami area (dinner and breakfast included) which I planned to stay with my elderly parents (in 70's). 2 days before our visit to Yufuin in September, typhoon no.18 (Talim) was fast approaching Kyushu. The ryokan emailed me and asked about our travel plans. They frankly told us that the poor weather might render the expressway unusable btw Yufuin and Fukuoka.. In that case, the bus that we planned to take the day after our stay to the airport might stop service. As we would run the risks of missing the flight home, this ryokan has offered to cancel the booking with full refund. We are so grateful for their understanding and putting their guests' safety and well being ahead of their business interest (losing the hotel charges and wasting the food prepared). We ended up staying another night in Fukuoka without worrying about disrupted bus service, flash floods and fallen trees on the highway.
On our next visit to Yufuin, we willl no doubt stay at Yawaraginosato Yadoya and reciprocate their kindness. .May we wish you good health, pleasant weather and prosperity!
With blessings,

Quiet place to unwind in private hot springs.

The tourist information at Yufuin train station was very helpful in providing us with directions to the hotel. You can catch a taxi but we decided to walk the 20 mins as we were early for our check-in and it gave us a chance to explore along the way. We were greeted very warmly and since we arrived early we were able to leave our luggage while we went to have a bite to eat. The staff were very accommodating, though a Japanese phrase book would come in handy at times. The rooms were very spacious and clean. It's one of those places where you have to take off your shoes before going into the hotel and change slippers when using the bathroom. They have public hot springs and they have private ones that you pre-book, we only used the private ones and they were beautifully landscaped. Towels and shampoo are provided in the rooms located next to the individual hot springs, of which there was 3. Our accommodation included breakfast and dinner, Japanese style, which we enjoyed. The massage chairs were a lovely bonus. Kimonos were provide for the duration of your stay and we received little gifts to take home as well which was a nice touch.

Hotel is 5-mins walk away from a touristy walkway with local shops and foods. There's pretty lake nearby too with nice restaurants, a possible area for long and quiet lunch with the special somebody.

Environment inside hotel is very quiet, feels like a family-owned resort with care and details. Recommend the private bath over public bath for much better scenes and onsen, staff offers multiple bookings as long as there are open slots! Restaurants are spacious enough to allow a big table for your own party, nice food and friendly staff to serve you as well. Breakfast portion is huge, but all dishes are yummy!

Yukata was provided freely and female can choose their favourite colour. Onsen is excellent! We enjoyed much at evening and at the morning before we departed.

They provided pretty Japanese \"Yukata\" clothes and welcome gift only to the ladies and room amenities were great. It was very close to the Kinrinko lake and in the day time it was all walking distance to the shops and Yufuin Station, but if you arrive at night, you'd better take taxi since it was bit hard to find it out at the first. Arrive early in the hotel to book the outdoor private hot tub otherwise there will be no space and you have to use the tiny bathroom in your room which has the weak water stream from the shower.

Blessed holidays

The walk from the train station is far for the elderly , the hotel should consider providing transfer .

전반적으로 만족스러운 료칸 경험을 할수 있음.
다만 년식이 있는 곳이라 부분적으로 호불호가 갈릴 부분은 있음.
직원들이 매우 친절하였으며 응대도 만족스러웠음

The hotel is tidy in general, but the hot springs facilities seem a bit old and smaller than expected.

직원분들이 정말 친절합니다. 늘 밝은 모습과 도와주려는 태도로 응대해 주셔서 감동했습니다.
가격대비 방의 크기가 넓어서 가족여행으로 적합합니다. 하루만 지낸게 아쉬웠습니다.
프라이빗 온천을 저녁, 아침 두번 예약할 수 있는데, 다른 숙소의 아무때나 갈 수 있는 노천탕 대비 조용하고 깨끗해서 좋았습니다.
저녁에만 이용하고 아침에 예약을 하지 않았는데, 너무 아쉬웠습니다.
저녁식사는 성인메뉴, 어린이 메뉴 모두 만족스러웠고, 제가 사케를 주문해서 맛있게 마시니 매니저나 주방장급으로 보이는분께서
서비스로 같은 사케의 더 상급라인업을 한잔 맛보게 해주셔서 기분 좋았습니다. 사케를 좋아하는 만큼 기억에 남는 경험이었습니다.
여성과 아이들을 위한 별도 유카타나 파우치를 준비해둔 센스도 기억에 남는 경험입니다.
위치가 메인 거리 및 긴린코 호수와 가까워서 좋습니다.(도보 10분 이내) 아침에 일찍 일어나서 주변을 산책했는데 싱그러운 초록색의 풍경이 정말 좋았습니다.
시설이 더 좋아도 메인 상점가 중심에서 멀리 있는 료칸들보다 접근성 측면에서 매우 유리합니다.

It’s clean and feel warmly welcomed during the stay.
The deco is not fancy but you can feel the hotel is preparing food with their all hearts.

The private hot spring is so good.
Truly recommend it.
