Romantic Hotels in Oita Prefecture, Japan

The staff members were all very friendly and welcoming. The hotel overall was very cozy, particularly the onsens. Although all the four onsens were opened for all guests at the hotel, you can use one of them as long as you want because guests are instructed to hang a sign on the onsen to show that it is currently occupied. This is a great way for the guests to enjoy privacy to themselves, although it is opened publicly. Dinner and breakfast was included in the package so we did not have to worry about finding nearby restaurants. The food was delicious here! Would definitely recommend if you enjoy traditional Japanese meals to get the full experience. We had a private barbecue for dinner, and it was truly immaculate! However, there was smoke all over the hotel lobby coming from the barbecue so it would have been better if they kept the windows opened. It was also indoors so it was slightly overwhelming with all the smoke everywhere in the restaurant. But everything else was on point and breakfast was particularly delicious. 

Fukuoka is hotter than ever this year. After interacting with locals, I realized that although it was my first time to visit Fukuoka, it was easier and easier to get around than I imagined. I knew very early on that I wanted to include the suburbs and Yufuin in my itinerary, and I wanted to stay there for one night. I was debating whether I should soak in hot springs in the summer and find a suitable accommodation for one person, so I found this B&B. It’s true that it’s not close to the station with your luggage, and it’s a bit hard in the summer. You can soak in the outdoor hot springs in the summer, and watch the stars, which are hard to capture on your phone. I went there once in the morning and once in the evening. After putting up the sign, it became a private soup. I like the sound of creaking templates, the exquisite breakfast boxes, and buying small things near the front desk. The boss couple are very hospitable, attentive and thoughtful, and the breakfast is delicious. I read the reviews and said I must order it, and I thought so too! Make sure to buy more snacks for dinner. Many shops on Yufuin Street close one after another at 5 pm local time. Plan your itinerary well. If you want to see more attractions, you can go to the nearby Beppu to see the hot springs together, or just chill in Yufuin. Very happy. When leaving, you can have your luggage delivered to the station. In this way, you can slowly walk to Jinlin Lake in your free time, and then eat slowly all the way back to the station hahahaha. Traveling is about experiencing❤

This onsen hotel boasts a superb location right next to MIDOBARU, making it incredibly convenient for getting around and sightseeing. I booked two rooms in advance for this trip. The hotel doesn't have a huge variety of room types, sticking to an authentic Japanese style, which creates a very quiet and comfortable atmosphere. The breakfast really deserves a special mention; it's a genuine Japanese morning meal with a rich selection and excellent taste, definitely worth trying. However, a heads-up about dinner: make sure to confirm beforehand whether you're getting a Japanese or Western set menu. I didn't clarify this when I booked and accidentally chose the wrong one, which was a bit of a shame. The hotel staff are exceptionally kind and attentive, providing a great service experience. While the facilities overall lean towards the older side, compared to many other onsen hotels in Beppu, this one is actually relatively new. It has a strong Japanese ambiance, and the hot spring experience is also good. Overall, the value for money is quite decent.

A very cozy and intimate onsen hotel. It's exquisite and welcoming, with very friendly staff. The in-room hot spring bath offers a direct view of the mountains, which is a fantastic location. For this kind of view, it's truly a great choice in Yufuin Onsen.

The service was excellent, the rooms were spacious, and there was a clean private hot spring with smooth, odor-free water. The Japanese tatami mats were new and clean. It was very comfortable and relaxing to sit or lie down anywhere in the room. Dinner, as other guests have commented, featured a delicious hot pot of beef that would make your mouth water. The beef was very fresh, plentiful, and consisted of large chunks of fresh vegetables, which was very satisfying to see and, of course, delicious. The owner's warm service made us feel right at home.

Located in Usa, this small-town hotel is only accessible by rental car, but thanks to its recent renovation, it's exceptionally clean, offers satisfying onsen sauna facilities, an excellent fitness center, a 7th-floor outdoor lounge, and convenient parking. For this price, it's a recommended place to stay on my next trip to Japan (if I'm planning to visit nearby areas like Kitakyushu, Oita, or Beppu). Highly recommended for families, couples, or solo travelers looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway!
