Very nice experiencing the traditional Japanese culture, including the hot springs and the food. The staffs are nice and food are delicious. It is very relaxing. Even though, the staffs are mostly from foreign places, they still are able to provide the traditional Japanese experience.

Excellent service. While the rooms we chose do not have shower facilities, there are 3 Onsen, one of which is just next to our room and open 24 hours. The property manager even left a note for us as we checked in after their office hour. Even brought us around to see the bigger rooms. Extremely good service. Highly recommended.

Staff are friendly as a whole. Our room is next to the a store / small room for keeping those towels and entires for hot spring. This is the place where there is engine or generator for generating the hot spring. Whole day noisy even at night. Unable to sleep well as the sound non stop even though comfortable tatami and spacious room. There was mosquitoes at the surrounding area.

I like this hotel, Overall is good. Just very difficult to find the place, was turned few rounds to look for the entrance even I have picture. Entrance is a super small road which you even don't recognise there are a road. 3 onsens are all family style, not Male & Female separate. I went to 2, both are good and nice. It's combined by few independent "house", onsen is independent small room out of the premise. It was raining, so I need to use umbrella to walk to my room after check in, open and close umbrella whenever go to onsen and return to room. But really traditional japanese style of ryokan. It will not be a problem if no raining.

Awesome Japanese hospitality & private onsen

An amazing ryokan experience in Yufuin, with our own private onsen (Mokuren)... This is not your usual ryokan hotel, as we get a whole house to ourselves, with Western beds and Japanese-style living room facing the bath outside. Service was exceptional, they surprised my husband with a whole birthday cake and then prepared plates and forks for us to bring back and eat in my room. True Japanese hospitality!! We also enjoyed the dinner and breakfast spread, it was A LOT of food. Highly recommended! Location is not too far from the main Yufuin area, and about 15 mins walk from the station.

짧은 리뷰: 주변 료칸에 비해 싼 장점, 그만큼 청결도나 디테일 한 부분은 아쉽다 조식을 신청해 먹을만큼 가치가 있지는 않다. 추가 요금 없이 싼 일반 방 예약해 공용욕실을 하는것 추천. 리뷰: 체크인 직원분들이 몹시 친절했습니다 방 내부 청경하고 다다미 방의 전통스러운 맛이 있어 좋았고, 물도 씻은후 피부가 매끈매끈해져 좋습니다. 료칸 방 내에 목욕 가운 같은 간단한 전통 유카타와 외투를 줘 한번 입어보는 재미있는 체험을 했습니다. 공용 온천도 기다림 없이 편히 이용했습니다. 체크아웃 후 귀여운 열쇠고리를 주었습니다 좋은 추억이 되었어요. 아쉬운 점은 온천이였는데요. 주변의 료칸에 비해 싼 장점이 있지만 청결도는 아쉬웠습니다 공동 온천의 탈의실에 알수없는 지린 냄새(?)와 몸을 씻는 공간의 물 때등 온천의 청결도가 아쉬웠습니다. 료칸 방의 개인 온천이 있는 공간 또한 씻는 공간의 청결도가 아쉬웠습니다 온탕 돌 표면이 물때로 미끈미끈해 찝찝했습니다. 온천이 실외에 있어 어쩔수 없다 생각 하지만 바퀴벌레를 발견했습니다 굳이 비싼 가격을 추가해 료칸 아침밥을 먹을 만큼 식사 퀄리티가 높지는 않고. 간단한 일본 아침식이라, 그냥 근처마트에서 미리 장을 보거나 유후인 가게에서 식사를 하는것이 좋지않나 생각합니다
