Yufu-No-Oyado Hotaru

We stayed here as a family of five. We were greeted politely when we arrived, and although the room was not new, it was well-maintained and clean. We were thrilled to see Mt. Yufu right in front of us from the window! The whole family was mesmerized by the view for a while. The food was also really good, so delicious that even my elderly mother ate it all. They were happy to accept extra rice, and I was impressed by their strong desire to satisfy their guests. There was a room bath (not a hot spring), a family bath that did not require a reservation (you can tell if it was in use by the sign on the outside), and an open-air bath, and the water was lukewarm (summer setting?), so we were able to enjoy it at our leisure. During our stay, we enjoyed a luxurious and relaxing time. I have stayed at other inns in Yufuin before, and I would say that it is an area with high overall satisfaction, but this inn is one that I can recommend because it conveys the spirit of hospitality.

My husband and I went to Yufuin and Beppu for a hot spring and relaxation trip, and we chose Yufuin as our first accommodation and it was a very satisfying trip! If you're bored in a room with an open-air hot spring, take a dip, drink beer in the evening, and even after waking up! I enjoyed the hot springs to no end. I loved the clean environment without any floating objects, so much so that I could tell they kept running water and paying attention to cleaning. Although it was different from the cloudy sulfur of Beppu, I could feel that the water was nice here as my skin was soft all the time. As seen in other reviews, the staff spoke English so there was no difficulty in communicating and they were very friendly. This is a small view of Mt. Yufudake. I had a really good rest!

A hot spring hotel with good service. The private bath in the room is excellent. The water quality is like lotion. The dinner is of high quality and the waiter introduces the food one by one in fluent English. Highly recommended for couples who like tranquility and want to soak in the hot spring comfortably.

I’m so glad you picked me up from Yufuin Station!! Actually, when I called the accommodation, I suddenly had a brain freeze and couldn't say anything, but I was grateful that they asked my name first. Thank you for upgrading the accommodation as well❤️ After finishing our stay, we took a pick-up car and were on our way to Yufuin Station. The driver must have received a call that someone had left their cell phone behind, so the driver turned the car around and headed back to the accommodation. I had left my cell phone at the dorm. I am so grateful and I feel so sorry to others. Thank you again🍀 Dinner was difficult because there were dishes that didn't suit my taste. I enjoyed breakfast :) But my boyfriend must have left his AirPods at the dorm🥲

The people working at the hotel were very friendly and it was exactly the ryokan I imagined. I can barely speak Japanese, but the person who guided me when I went was good at English, so I didn't have any inconveniences! Instead, the location is really inside, so I think you should come back after completing your itinerary.. It was only a one-night stay during my trip to Japan, but I think it will be really memorable. Thank you so much!

Since the flight was delayed, we didn't arrive until very late, but the hotel still came to pick us up at the station. Thank you very much! The food was also very good! The private hot spring bath is exactly like the one in the anime, and it happened to be snowing, so my dream of enjoying the snow and bathing in the hot spring came true💯The snow stopped and it will be sunny soon, which is great! We were sent to Yufuin the next day, which was very convenient❤️

It was nice that if you called from a public phone at Yufuin Station, you could be picked up by a bus. Thanks to the person who spoke English, we were able to communicate, and everyone was friendly. I enjoyed both dinner and breakfast. I was also very satisfied with the private hot spring in the room. I had a good rest.

Highly recommended When you arrive at Yufuin, use the public phone number and a car will be dispatched to pick you up. food is not bad There is an open-air hot spring in the room and the view is also good

All staff were friendly and the pick-up service was satisfactory. The water was warm and it was the last day of my schedule, so I recovered from my fatigue. I went with my wife, but I think it would be nice to bring my parents. I had both dinner and breakfast and I was satisfied.
