Ryokan Yamashiroya Reviews

This was my first time staying at a ryokan in Yunohira and I loved it. The friendly owners, the quiet ryokan, and the tasty breakfast and dinner left behind great memories! Next time I come to enjoy a hot spring, I want to visit again!☺️

Yamashiroya is run by two couples in their fifties. The proprietress can speak fluent Japanese English and is very hospitable and enthusiastic. The hotel provides 4 private hot springs for guests to use, 2 outdoor and 2 indoor. The hot springs are occupied when no one is using them, so you can take as many photos as you like. We chose the one-night-and-two-dinner plan. Although the room was a bit nostalgic, the meals provided were one of the most delicious on this trip.

The landlady is hospitable, the food is of high quality, the beef is delicious, the grapefruit salad and pomelo ice cream are fragrant and delicious. When I left, the landlady gave me a grapefruit. I took it back to Hong Kong and washed it with grapefruit juice. I also used the grapefruit peel to fry pancakes and make them. The yuzu pork chop is very delicious. Unfortunately, the location is a bit far away. If you take the train in Yufuin, you have to cross the opposite platform. You can cross the railway with luggage, but the staff may be too busy that day. They instructed us to use the overpass to cross the opposite platform. I I asked the question twice and got the same answer. I was pressed for time, so I only carried my luggage to the overpass. When I was getting ready to board the train, I saw someone crossing the railway line. On the return trip, I returned to Yufuin from Yudaira and got on the opposite platform. I have to carry my luggage onto the overpass again. No matter how carefully I look this time, I can’t cross the road tracks.

The boss at the end of kindness & delicious dinner and breakfast & even a hot spring that you can enjoy privately even though it is not an in-room hot spring! It was regrettable to stay for one day, so I stayed for two days, but I recommend two days rather than one day! One day, after playing in downtown Fukuoka, I went over to the ryokan, ate dinner, and went to a hot spring. One day, I went to Lake Yufuin and the streets (it takes 4-5 hours if I go around in detail), I went home with swollen legs, had dinner, and went to a hot spring! When taking the train from Yufuin Station to the ryokan, if you contact the owner, he will pick you up and take you to the nearest station when you go out or check out, so it was really convenient!!

It's a family run business and everyone is really friendly. All trains were canceled due to heavy rain, but he took me to Oita Station and helped me exchange the tickets I had booked. I'm making a lot of really good memories The food is delicious and it's a perfect accommodation except for being in the outskirts We will visit again!
