Ryokan Yufusan

The nostalgic ryokan, nice room size with private in-room onsen. The balcony with beautiful view of the city and mountain (although the view was kinda blocked by a very tall tree). Fancy and tasty meals.

Location is kind of far from the train station and main attractions, not recommand if you don't drive. Although it listed offering a shuttle service and luggage storage, but in reality, shuttle service is very limited, and you literary can not leave your luggage behind if you rely on them to drop you off back to the train station. We stayed at two different ryokans in Yufuin this time, and the other one appeared to have the same issue, so I guess that's how the ryokans in Yufuin are. The front entrance door is unlocked even at the night, and there seemed no staff on duty, that made us felt a bit of unsecure. Staffs were a bit difficult to communicate and inflexible.

So quiet

Far away from city centre

Wonderful and helpful staff! I left behind an item in the restaurant at dinner and they were able to retrieve it even after I checked out of the property. Clean room and great amenities. Food was delicious and accommodating with a vegetarian meal request. Would stay here again if given the opportunity.

Location can be far if traveling without a car.

Onsen in the room. Meals included. We have the chance to taste Japanese style dinner and breakfast.

We booked one room in main building. Room size is on the small size. A bit old as well. Next door is under construction so no view from our room.
