This hotel offers a very peaceful ambiance. It's located right off the main road and very close to Lake Kinrin. I booked the 'one-night two-meals' package, and the Kaiseki dinner was incredibly exquisite. We had a dedicated room attendant, making the experience and comfort top-notch. The hotel boasts three private onsens and one public onsen, plus my room came with its own private hot spring. The attendant was very attentive, always making and tidying the futon whenever there was a moment. Though pricey, it was absolutely worth it!

This beautiful Ryokan is over 100 years old with deep heritage. I like that it stay as it is as if time stood still. So full of character. I was drawn to the onsens featuring beautiful outdoor views. You'll get to enjoy indoor and outdoor onsens here.. You get to try different types of onsens as they switch around. The highlight was the mountain view, the tranquility that some accommodation lacks due to the amount of guests. Here, you see mostly adults, hence irs ideal for people looking for a quieter retreat. Finally I was absolutely blown away by the wagyu beef at each dinner buffet. The Oita beef was of good quality and there was crab legs and so many variety of seafood and Oita specialty. Breakfast did not disappoint. Love the Yufuin milk and the pudding. Service staff was very attentive too. Ideally for non driving travellers. A short walk to the station and kinrin river.
Our charm lies in allowing guests to relax freely and at their own pace—more than preset schedules or arrangements from the hotel, guests can enjoy their own time according to their preferences. Located in a tranquil rural area, we are highly regarded as a lodging that offers the most beautiful views of Mount Yufu. From our proud top-floor panoramic bath, guests can enjoy breathtaking, sweeping views of Mount Yufu. In addition, there is an open-air hot spring bath where you can feel the breeze blowing through the basin, along with a sauna that has become popular in recent years. The ever-changing, picture-perfect scenery invites you into a moment of escape from the everyday, like stepping into a painting.

About 10 to 15 mins walk from the train station. Very quite and serene environment. From hotel to walk to the lake 20 mins, floral village etc you can easily spends hours to enjoy the scenery, lunch and shopping streets.
Big and spacious onsen, the outdoor one is nice. The view from onsen and room face Mt Yufu...very relaxing and nice breakfast.

Staying at a hot spring ryokan in Yufuin with dinner and breakfast included is so convenient and hassle-free.
Jukaso Hotel in Yufuin was a great choice. The traditional Japanese garden setting creates a wonderful ambiance. The location is incredibly convenient, just a 5-minute walk directly from Yufuin Station, so even with luggage, it's no trouble at all.
I booked a tatami Japanese-style room. It was spacious and clean with excellent natural light. Opening the window revealed mountain views and the greenery of the garden, making it very peaceful and restorative. The amenities were complete, and the double sinks in the bathroom were a thoughtful touch.
The hot springs include both indoor and open-air baths. The water quality was pleasant and clean, and it was quiet with few people in the evening. Soaking in the onsen completely relaxed me.

The hotel's location is quite far from the station, about a 25-minute walk. However, they do offer pick-up and drop-off service from the station, which we didn't arrange beforehand. Walking along the road for a stretch was a bit tough. On the upside, the surroundings of the hotel are very quiet. The room style is a bit old-fashioned but spacious. The evening onsen was great, I had it all to myself. Dinner was plentiful, but breakfast was just okay, though the dining environment was pleasant. The hotel service was decent, and the owner was quite understanding. However, the front desk staff wasn't very friendly; they wouldn't let us check in even ten minutes early. Eventually, the owner approved an early check-in. It's a nice touch that they offer a free shuttle service to the train station when you check out.

I didn't have high expectations, but the room was spacious and the bedding was clean. The price varies depending on the room size, layout, and type. The room we used didn't have a shower, so we had to use the hot spring facilities to wash up. Since I was planning to use the hot spring in the evening and morning anyway, it wasn't a big deal for me. However, my husband, who isn't a big fan of hot springs, had to make a special trip to the hot spring just to shower.
The room was quite spacious, allowing us to open two large suitcases. There was also a table where we could enjoy snacks and beer. As it's an older establishment, there were some peeled wallpaper and a bit of mold. However, overall, it was a well-maintained and clean place.
There are three hot springs outside (but close by). One small one is indoors, and the two larger ones are open-air baths. If there are many guests, you might have to play a 'waiting game' to avoid crowds (though this is probably true for other places too).
Dinner and breakfast are also available. We didn't opt for them.
It's about a 5-10 minute walk to the main street, 15 minutes from Yufuin Station, and 15 minutes from Lake Kinrinko. There's a Lawson, 7-Eleven, and a supermarket within a 5-10 minute walk.
Nestled on a gently elevated hill—neither too close nor too far from the bustling center of Yufuin—Bisei offers a serene retreat.
What first captivates guests is the panoramic view of Mount Yufu, visible from every room in all its seasonal beauty.
On a clear morning, the majestic and soothing sight of Mount Yufu from the semi-open-air bath, which flows with 100% natural hot spring water, is breathtaking enough to draw a quiet sigh.
Bisei’s charm lies in its exquisite cuisine crafted from seasonal ingredients, its skin-nourishing hot springs, and the sweeping natural scenery.
Perhaps these are the very reasons so many guests choose to return again and again.
GGuest User2026.04.13
The room was spacious and came with a private onsen. Perched halfway up the mountain, the views were beautiful. If you don't have a car, you can book the shuttle, but be aware that the pick-up times are infrequent. The staff were friendly. Dinner was just okay, but since it was inconvenient to go back to the city, we ended up eating almost all our meals there as part of a half-board package.

Super satisfied! Full of memories!
The reception staff are very friendly, courteous and take good care of the children 👍🏻 They also respond to requests quickly and efficiently!
Our room is a two-story independent house. It is very spacious, clean and comfortable, and fully equipped. It has a private hot spring and a high degree of privacy. It is very convenient to soak in the hot spring with the children. Dinner and breakfast are provided, and the food quality is very good~ Very attentive!
Highly recommended!

The hotel is small, but located in a very picturesque location! The staff was very friendly and attentive.
The room is spacious, with an outdoor onsen and two baths at your disposal – they become private when in use, so you won't be disturbed.
Near the hotel is a wonderful bakery called Grand'ma and a coffee shop called Grand'pa – I recommend checking them out.

Outstanding
GGuest UserThe hotel's location is excellent, very close to Lake Kinrin, making it convenient to see the morning mist. It's also very near the shopping street. The hotel rooms are spacious and come with a private onsen. The service is great, and both dinner and breakfast are substantial. Highly recommended!
MMinanekoThis onsen hotel exceeded my expectations – it was truly excellent!
First off, every room has its own private onsen, offering complete privacy, so you can enjoy a hot spring bath anytime you like! The hotel environment is beautiful, perfect for taking photos. We were lucky enough to encounter snow, which was the icing on the cake!
What's more, the room was fully equipped and impeccably clean! Since we visited in winter, it was incredibly thoughtful that there were heaters everywhere, even in the bathroom.
We booked the 'one night, two meals' package, and the food was delicious! The dishes were very unique, and you could really feel the restaurant's dedication. Extremely satisfied!
The staff were excellent – friendly and approachable, making me feel right at home.
Regarding transportation, we originally planned to drive, but canceled our car rental due to the weather. We took the train to Yufu Eki, pre-booked the shuttle with the hotel, and arrived in about 10 minutes!
Overall, this is a highly recommended gem of a hotel! I'll definitely be back!
GGuest UserAbsolutely loved this place. The staff were so so friendly and made me feel safe although I was a solo traveller. Loved the yukata you could wear around the hotel. The private onsen is first come first serve so make sure to book early at the reception! You must get the kaiseki dinner and breakfast. One of the best meals I had including the restaurants I’ve visited during my one month stay in Japan with incredible views of the mountain. An easy 15min walk from yufuin station/bus station even with my massive luggage especially with the scenic view on the way there. And less than 10min walk to floral village and kinrin lake! Thanks once again!!
凌凌凌漆Here's a review of my stay:
1. **Location and Amenities: A Quiet Corner with Easy Access**
The hotel is conveniently located, about a 7 to 10-minute walk from JR Yufuin Station, making it easy to find while also being away from the busiest commercial areas. Right next door is a Lawson convenience store, and there's a supermarket nearby, which is super handy for anyone who likes to grab snacks and drinks in the evening.
2. **Hot Spring Facilities: Highly Private ”Kashikiri” Experience**
This is truly the highlight of the inn! There are 5 private family hot springs (private baths), including both indoor and outdoor options. No reservations are needed; you just check if the light at the entrance is off, and if so, it's free to use.
**Tech-Savvy Management:** Guests can scan a QR code with their phone to instantly check the real-time availability of each private bath, saving you a wasted trip.
**A Small Tip:** If you're staying in winter, the path to the outdoor baths and some outdoor showering areas can feel quite cold. If you're sensitive to cold, I recommend prioritizing private baths #1-3, which are indoors.
3. **Dining Experience: A Hearty Yakiniku Feast**
We opted for the half-board plan, and dinner was enjoyed at a partner yakiniku restaurant. The wagyu beef was excellent quality and incredibly generous in portion. There was even a bonus offer of unlimited alcoholic beverages and plum wine, making it fantastic value for money. The Japanese-style breakfast the next day was also very filling, providing a great start to our day.
4. **Unique Atmosphere: A Paradise for Animal Lovers**
The inn has very gentle cats and dogs living on the premises. If you're lucky, the resident cat manager might even appear in common areas or even come by your room for a patrol. For animal-loving travelers, this sense of warmth and comfort is something other hotels simply can't replicate.
5. **Accommodation Details and Recommendations**
**Room Space:** The new wing rooms are spacious, blending modern comfort with traditional Japanese aesthetics.
EEinfachDillonThe hostel was very nice and had a cozy charm to it. I also met some very nice people there. There is an Onsen in the hostel, and you can get a satisfying breakfast for around 800 Yen. The owner was very kind and offers evening walks (which I highly recommend) and a ride to the station in the morning. The only downside is that it's an around 30 minutes walk uphill from Floral Village, but the view from there is worth it.
All in all I highly recommend it!
KKYUNGROKFirst of all, the staff were so kind that I felt really good the whole time I was staying at the accommodation. ㅎㅎ
I was worried that it would be too cold to sleep in the room that included a private hot spring, but I turned on the heater and slept so it was so hot that I slept with the window open. ㅎㅎ
KKa YanA hot spring hotel with one night and two meals. It is very convenient to have a private hot spring in the room. The public bath is relatively small, but not crowded. There was no one there when I went there that morning, and I enjoyed the outdoor hot spring very comfortably. The room is in traditional Japanese style, very comfortable and hygienic. The staff does not speak English very well, but they will try their best to communicate with guests through mobile phone translation and other methods, so there is basically no problem.
The food was prepared carefully, but the dinner was not to my taste, but the breakfast was a surprise. There were free popsicles, hot spring eggs and beer. The location is far from the station, 20 minutes walk, but people usually go to Yufuin to visit Yunotsubo Street. If you walk from Yunotsubo Street, it is still okay to walk there in 10 minutes. The check-out time is 12 o'clock, which is good. After breakfast in the morning, you can go back to the room and enjoy the hot spring time in the morning before leaving.
Overall, it was a very satisfactory accommodation experience. I enjoyed the hot springs and will consider staying here again next time I visit Yufuin.
GGuest UserThis hotel is nestled in the mountains, featuring terraced rice fields, which makes for a very relaxing stay. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped; we chose a room type with an indoor onsen bath. The half-board (dinner and breakfast) meals were also good, and I recommend the Japanese-style breakfast. The baths include both indoor and outdoor options, and overall, everything was very comfortable. The only downside was that when we checked in at 4 PM, we were told that the shuttle service for the next day was fully booked, and we'd have to pay for a taxi ourselves (even though there were empty vehicles available). Despite this, I would still highly recommend Hoshino Resorts KAI Yufuin for an experience.
2200852****The hotel's private hot spring bath has a wonderful ambiance, with morning mist swirling around. Breakfast and dinner are also exquisite and delicious, the Japanese service is impeccable, and the waiter speaks fluent English.
