Yufunogo Saigakukan

직원 완전👍👍친절하시고 서비스 Good!! 다 좋은데 석식과조식은 조금 한국인의 입맛에는 안맞을수도 있어요ㅠㅠ

美麗的景緻，非常好的環境

I had no choice but to book it at an extremely expensive price compared to other dates since I could only travel during new years. I wouldnt say the amenities were appropriate for the price I have paid but considering that it is the busiest time of the year, I understand such result. The room itself was pretty simple and the view was quite nice. It was slightly cold tho, but there’s an extra heater so it wasnt a big issue. Things I didnt like was absence of a shower in the room and a small living room/sleeping area. 3 people just fit in the room and we couldnt sit around the table once the futon was set. Otherwise the service was great and we totally loved the onsens. Lots of variety, clean, hot and great view. Overall it was good, but not worth the price I paid. I still enjoyed the stay so I’m satisfied anyways.

하카타역이랑 걸어서 10분 안걸렷던거 같아요 바로 옆에 편의점도 있고 일단 객실이 너무 깔끔했어요 아침에 기차소리듣고 깨는것도 좋았어여 1층에 흡연실도 깨끗하고 1층에 구비되어있는 일회용 세안도구도 잘썻습니다

温泉もお部屋も設備もとても気に入りました。 スタッフ皆様、本当ににこやかで親切で柔軟に対応していただき由布院での楽しい時間を過ごせました。 次回も利用させていただきます。

직원들은 친절했고 음식도 맛있고 훌륭했으며 전반적으로 매우 만족합니다.

좋았습니다~~~ 가족여행으로 자유여행은 이번이 처음인데 너무 거로 재밌게 잘 다녀왔어요!!! 남녀노소 모두에게 만족스러웠던 경험이었습니다~~ 숙박시설도 좋았고 서비스도 시설도 좋았구 가이세키 맛있었어요! 정말 대접받는 느낌!! 엄마 환갑가족여행 성공적이었어요!! 이번 여행으로 인해 더 자주 여행갈 수 있을 것 같아요

친절하고 좋아요

Was scouting for a nice ryokan to celebrate my wife’s birthday in Yufuin. Chanced upon it as I was reading reviews and we are glad to have chosen this ryokan. The ryokan offers pickup from the Yufuin station. We just had to make a call from the public phone at the station and the driver picked us up in 10mins. It was definitely a beautiful hotel with very courteous staff welcoming us. The staff could speak basic English and it was definitely sufficient for us to communicate with them. For more complex requests, we had to speak Japanese with them. All in all we are very happy with their service. The welcome drink was great as they placed us facing mount Yufu. It was really beautiful. We wrote in to request for a room with a view and they were very accommodating to arrange it for us (with a small fee). We were indeed very pleased with the room as the view we had the next morning was so good with a clear sky. Dinner was a typical kaiseki, where waves of beautiful and tasty food kept coming in courses for us to savour and enjoy. It was definitely one of our better kaiseki’s that we have had over the years visiting all around Japan. The highlight of the stay was definitely the onsen where they had 2 private baths (available at first come first served basis) which was truly gorgeous. There was also a sitting/viewing area outside of the onsen area. Loved this ryokan and would definitely come back again.

아주 좋았어요 다들 너무 친절하셨고요 ㅎㅎ 조식을 시간보다 조금 늦게 나갔더니 미리 차려져 있어서 다 식은게 아쉽네요 전체적으로 아주 좋았습니다. 근처의 유후인도 너무 멋진 가게들이 많아서 즐겁게 구경했어요

숙소에 들어갈 때부터 나올 때까지 모든 것이 좋았습니다. 우선 사이간쿠칸에 들어가면 체크인을 하는 동안 제공되는 말차와 떡 그리고 유후다케산 경치가 너무 좋습니다. 방은 마운틴뷰로 예약했기 때문에 유후다케 산이 잘 보이는 방을 제공해주었습니다. 방에서 보는 산 경치도 너무 멋있었습니다. 또한 가족탕, 대욕탕 모두 노천탕에서 산이 잘 보여 그야말로 힐링이 되었습니다. 정갈하게 제공되는 가이세키 도 좋았습니다. 다음에는 부모님 모시고 다시 방문하고 싶습니다.

膳食不錯，服務態度好，房間大和舒適

I was really looking forward to the hospitality at a ryokan in Yufuin. I’ve stayed at other ryokans in Japan and the service was over the top. Unfortunately the service at the Yufunogo Saigakukan was very poor. The young Japanese woman who checked us in did not smile and was not friendly. We had two twin beds and an area for the tatami mats. We chose to sleep on the tatami mats because the beds were not comfortable and we were told that if we slept on the beds we would be charged an extra price ! I’ve never heard of this at a hotel. The private onsen is a nice option but it’s tiny. The public onsen was much better with a nice view of the Yufuin mountain. The dinner was very good and the Miyazaki beef was probably the best beef I’ve ever eaten. The only downside again was the service. We waited a long time between some courses and other courses were very rushed. We were never asked how we liked the food and mostly ignored. There was one lady at the front desk who was very friendly and made the experience a little better but overall the vibe was very “cold” and I would not recommend the hotel nor return.

온천이 매우 좋아요 가족탕도 좋고 공용탕도 좋아요 가이세끼요리도 훌륭했어요

已經第二次入住此酒店，住宿環境依然保持得很好，地方乾淨舒適。榻榻米的軟硬度也令人睡得很舒服。酒店更設有免費接送酒店服務。值得再去入住。

泡湯不錯，有家庭池。晚餐好吃。房間有點潮濕。但要另外收泡湯費用。

편안하게 온천할수 있어 좋았고 특히 식사가 너무 좋았습니다

ที่พักน่ารักไม่ใหญ่มาก พนักงานบริการดีมากๆยิ้มแย้มดูแลดีเยี่ยมและให้ความช่วยเหลือทุกอย่างเลย

유후인기차역, 유후인버스터미널, 긴린호수는 차로 5분거리정도 됩니다. 픽업버스가 있어서 편하게 갈 수 있었지만 긴린호수와 주변상점 구경은 체크인 하기전에 먼저 둘러보고 가시길 추천합니다. 체크인하면 다시 나오기가 애매하니까요. 체크인하고 시간이 남으신다면 자전거 대여해서 타는 것도 추천합니다.시설 깔끔하고 직원분들 너무 친절합니다. 음식도 너무 맛있어서 다음에 또 오고 싶어요^^

Staffs were really freindly and it was a such an amaIng experience

언니랑 엄마 생신기념으로 모시고 갔는데 만족해요! 유후다케가 보이는 방에서 자고싶었는데 풀북이라 넘 아쉬웠어요 ㅜㅠ 꼭 유후다케뷰로 예약하세요! 저는 2박을 해서 뷰가 더 아쉬웠는지도 모르겠네요. 가족탕이 2개라 경쟁이 치열하다고 하는데 저희는 아주 일찍 하거나 늦게하거나 했더니 운좋게 잘 이용했어요. 물론 2박이라 시간적 여유가 더 있었던것 같긴해요. 시내관광시 역까지 시간내에 픽업서비스가 있었는데, 날씨가 좋아서 시내 나갈때는 마을길따라 걸어갔는데 마을이 아기자기하고 걸어가는 길도 예쁘고, 차도가 아닌 골목길로 가니 역까지 생각보다 금방 걸어갔어요! 단지 돌아올때는 오르막길이라 송영서비스를 이용했구요. 이틀동안 다른 구성으로 나온 가이세키(소고기 짱맛)도 괜찮았고, 조식도 생각보다 맛있었어요. (음식이 대체적으로 짠건 어쩔수없는거같아요... 일본음식이 거진 다 짜서 ㅜㅠ) 온천은 대욕장도 괜찮았고, 가족탕 2개도 다 괜찮은데 2인 이상이시면 긴진노유탕이 편해요. 목욕용품은 물론 클렌징오일,폼,필링젤,스킨,로션 다 구비되어 있어요. 후기만 보고 너무 큰 기대만 안하면... 가격대비 너무 만족스러운 곳이에요.

Really good service and great onsen facilities but wish dinner can be served within the room.

2박 3일 묵었습니다. 청결도 친절도는 만점입니다. 너무 좋은 시간 잘 보냈고 음식도 맛있었습니다. 단하나, 다리가 조금 아프신 어머니, 두돌아기랑 같이 간건데 계단이 많이 조금 힘들었습니다. 온천도 계단 식당도 계단 ㅠㅠ 그렇지만 저희 상황이그래서 아쉬웠던거지 료칸자체는 아주 만족했습니다.

가족탕이 두개밖에 없어 사용하기 힘들었어요 ㅠㅠ 가격대비 음식과 룸컨지션은 만족합니다

This hotel is beautiful and relax. There are nice outdoor public and private onsen which is not crownded. (I’m only one in public onsen). Dinner is very delicious and the beef melts in the mount. I like the living room which is very relax and nice view. They offer yukata and pajama. However, this hotel is not in the downtown and can’t walk. But, I’m not sure they offer shuttle bus or not. I drived and arrived in evening. I spend one night and checked out in the morning, then I drived to walking street in the downtown. All is impressive and relax

모든 직원분들이 영어 가능. 숙박 약 2일전 국제전화로 해피콜 및 숙박확인 전화 옵니다. 송영밴은 유후인에서 내려서 공중전화로 전화하면 10분안에 데리러 와줘요.(밴 옆에 크게 로고 써있어서 찾기 편함) 운전하시는 분은 영어 못 하시지만 전혀 문제 없습니다. (공중전화도 거스름돈을 안줘요..꼭 미리 10엔짜리 챙기세요ㅜ) 도착하면 당일 가이세키 시간、 다음날 아침 조식시간、 송영시간 선택할 수 있습니다 방은 다다미+양실 예약했는데 방온도는 천장 히터로 셀프조절가능. 저녁식사하는 동안 다다미방 상、의자 치우고 이불깔아주심 가족탕은 예약없이 방 안에 모니터로 확인후 이용가능한데 여유있었어요. 노천탕은 크기 꽤 괜찮은편 어매니티도 종류가 다양했어요. 스틴/로션 종류가 3사지라 골라쓸 수 있고 얼굴/바디각질제거、 비비크림까지 구비되있음(탈의실에 전부 다 구비되있음) 가이세키는 테이블 위 종이에 메뉴에 대한 재료 및 설명이 되어있어서 좋았구요. 식사 초반에 간단한 설명은 직원이 해줍니다. 다음날 아침은 1층 홀에서 지정석에 다같이 하는데、 통유리 너머로 유후인 산과 유후인 전경이 보이는데 멋졌어요. 부모님은 이번에 일본여행 처음인데、 전체적으로 만족하셨습니다. 음식도 입맛에 맞구요 본인은 무소엔 다음으로 갔었는데 이곳은 가격대 훌륭하다 생각합니다 . 가족끼리 가기 추천합니다.

This was truly a beautiful place! We were greeted very warmly by each staff member that we came accross. We were led to our room on arrival by a staff member and given a thorough tour of the hotel. We had a view of Mt Yufu and also opted for the breakfast and dinner for two nights. Every meal we had was amazing! After dinner, we hopped into one of the two private onsens and let our troubles melt away. The onsens, particularly the private ones, are in demand but most people usually stay for around 30 minutes, so you can either relax the in adjacent room with a view of their beautiful Japanese garden or go back to your room. We had a very wonderful and memorable time here. We will definitely be reccommending this to anyone we meet and will most certainly be coming back!

staff very good and polite

온천이 좋았으나 가족탕은 경쟁이 치열해서 이용하기가 조금 어려웠어요. 밥은 괜찮은 편이었고 조식뷰가 좋았습니다 :)

숙박 하루 전 예약 확인 전화해주시고 송영버스도 5분10분 사이에 한 대씩 이용 가능해서 편리합니다. 간단한 영어 소통은 가능하지만 발음이 조금 달라서인지 의사소통이 조금 불편할 때도 있었습니다. 전반적으로 깔끔하고 방 내에서 가족탕 IN/OUT 확인할 수 있어 편리합니다. 가족탕에 샤워기가 1개인데 2개정도는 있으면 편리할 것 같습니다. 가족탕에서 산을 바라보는 전망이 좋습니다. 가이세키보다 조식을 집밥처럼 더 맛있게 잘 먹었던 것 같습니다 ㅎㅎ

非常好的服務，飯店整潔舒適

청결하고 괜찮았어요! 한국말 하실수 있는분은 없었으나, 친절하게 다 설명해주셨어요~ 픽업 서비스도 좋았습니다! 정류장이랑 오분거리였어요!

レストランと露天温泉目の前景色すごくいい，金鳞糊からホテルまで20〜30散歩距离，私としてちょっといい

넘좋았어요~담에또가고싶어요

좋아요 친절해요.

従業員の方のサービスと対応も良かったですと思います。部屋とお風呂も良かったです。ただ朝食は、いまいちだっだかな。

Nice stay here and good food provided. Staff are also very nice

風景在半山腰，吃飯時都能看到由布山 很享受

It was awesome to stay at the hotel and enjoy all services. The food was good and even too much for us to manage! Thanks a lot and we will be back.

온천이 너무 맘에 들었어요~ 가이세키도 맛있습니다!! 여기저기 료칸안에서 사진찍기도 이뻐요

服務態度良好，自駕方便

Excellent service. Good hot spring!

ที่พักสะดวกสบายมากค่ะ สามารถมองเห็นวิวภูเขา Yufu ได้จากห้องอาหารของโรงแรม พนักงานให้การต้อนรับดี อาหารอร่อย ที่พักห่างออกมาจากตัวเมืองประมาณ 5-10 นาทีโดยการขับรถ ถ้ามีโอกาสจะกลับมาพักอีกค่ะ

청결도관리상태는 중을 줬지만..워낙 기대치가 높아 저리 줬습니다. 가족탕 두개 다 들어가봤는데.. 칸막이가 있어 환상적인 분위기를 기대했던거에 비하면...또 가족탕은 연달에 계속 손님들이 들어가다보니...정리나 청결상태는 역시나...어쨌든 좋긴했어요. 여자대욕장은 못들어가봤지만 남자 대욕장은 탕이 두개, 보조탕이 한개..상당히 넓었고 분위기도 좋았어요. 바보같이 왜 대욕장을 별로 이용안했는지 후회되긴하네요. 직원들은 영어나 한국어 능통한 직원이 거의 없었고...영어를 쓰니 한국인들처럼 영어울렁증이 있나 어쩔줄 몰라하는 직원들도 있더군요.ㅋ 어쨌든..진심인지는 모르겠지만 친철하게 대하더군요. 부담스럽게 전담 직원은 잘 부탁한다고 큰절까지하고...좀 오바... 다른데는 안가보고 조사만해봤는데...가격대비 여기가 최고일것 같네요. 다른데는 비슷한 사양에 최소 20~30만원씩 비싸더라구요. 송영버스도 되고...식사도 양이 적다던데 적지 않았어요. 고기랑 회가 적었다하면 적을순있지만. 고기 때깔은 약간 초신선한 그런 느낌은 아니였지만... 와규의 맛은..상상과 기대이상이었어요. 회도 퀄리티가 한국 일반 횟집들보다 훨씬 나은 느낌. 근데 회랑 와규외에 음식은...전형적인 일본 스타일음식이라 입맛에는 전혀 안맞더군요. 어쨌든 이가격에 이 퀄리티, 가족탕까지 있는 료칸은 없지 싶네요. 무조건 강추합니다. 아!! 저녁 및 아침은 방에서 먹는게 아니라 전용식당에서 먹어요. 그거는 좀 아쉬웠네요.

유후인 역에서 픽업서비스를 요청하자 즉시 데리러 왔고, 저녁식사, 아침식사 모두 청결하고 맛있었으며 가족탕 이용도 방에서 사용여부를 확인할 수 있어서 빈 곳을 사용할 수 있는 시스템도 좋았으며 체크아웃후 유후인 역까지 데려다 주어 조금 멀리 떨어져 있지만 불편함이 없었음. 다른 여관에 비해 가성비가 좋다고 생각됨

온천하기 너무 좋았어요 깨끗하고 방도 3명이서 자기엔 괜찮았어요 식사는 생각보다 좀 별로였지만 대체적으로 다 맘에 들어요 직원분들도 친절하시고 다음에도 가볼생각은있어요

유후다케산이 바로 보여서 정말 좋았습니다 직원분들 마주칠일이 별로 없었지만 잘 도와주셨고 부모님도 매우 만족하셨습니다 .. 가족탕 기다리는시간이 좀 있긴했지만 별 문제는 없었습니다 가이세키요리... 짠맛이 너무 강했지만 와규는 정말 환상이었어요 ㅎㅎ

대체로 만족합니다. 석식도 괜챦았지만, 제 기대가 너무 큰글까요?! 고기는 양이 적었지만 품질은 만족스러웠습니다. 등록되지않은 아기에 대한 최소한의 배려도 만족합니다. 풍광은 참 좋았습니다. 주변에 가볍게 산책할 수 있는 곳이 없는게 아쉽습니다.

整體不錯，有接送服務，如果有雪糕販賣機就更好....

조식식당과 온천탕에서 보이는 유후산이 대박이어서 선택하게 된 곳. 위치는 유노츠보 거리와 긴린코에서는 걸어가기엔 좀 멀어요(25분정도) 그치만 전망하나로 모든게 카바됨 ㅋ 온천수도 화장수로 씻는 것처럼 부들부들 미끈미끈 좋아요~ 가족탕은 2개 있는데 예약없이 비어있음 바로 이용할 수 있고 한국인이 많았어요. 가이세키는 양은 많지 않은데 와규와 스시가 맛이 좋아요. 재방문 의사 있음

Our first time, with a group, in a traditional Japanese Inn, and it couldn't have been better. We stayed two nights, and had a selection of traditional Japanese meals and breakfasts. The 'special' meal was outstanding. The service was first class, and the amenities very good. the bedrooms had both beds and futons (excellent) and a full range of facilities. bathrooms small but adequate. It's an experience we would like to repeat.

The first visit by wife and I to a ryokan, as part of a small group. Very welcoming with all the staff very attentive with excellent service. Helpful that the owner and his wife spent many years in England. Plenty of food at all meal times with some explanation as to what everything was - unfortunately couldn’t do the Japanese food justice! The hot springs were great, with the ability to determine whether the family rooms were available via your television. The futons were very comfortable. In all, a wonderful different experience.

The ryokan is situated around 15 to 20 mins walk from the JR station. It was a nice walk to get there; alternatively, the ryokan has shuttle service and you can ask it to pick you up. The staff are friendly and helpful. The room is spacious and the ryokan has nice onsens. It also has two private onsens but I didn't get to use them. Both the dinner and breakfast were great.

We stayed here for two nights and had a fantastic experience. Although it’s a bit far from the bus/train station, they provide a free shuttle bus to take you to and from town. Being up the mountain a little ways, the view of the mountain and valley were beautiful. Another thing my wife liked was that they served both lunch and dinner. There were a two or three hour time frame where you could choose when to have your meals. The meals themselves were Japanese style with many different dishes throughout the courses. By the end of the meals, we were all full. The rooms were clean and had all types of amenities: TV, wifi, toothbrush, razors, hair dryer, air conditioning/heater, toilet and sink, hot water dispenser, table and floor chairs, balcony with small table, safe box and wardrobe. The only thing missing from the room was a shower. This was fine with us because we spent a lot of time in the hot springs. There were no western style beds in the room. Instead, each night during dinner the housekeeping staff would come make up a floor bed, which was very comfortable for us. The hot springs were calm and relaxing. They have two private/family hot spring rooms and separate public ones for men and women. Both types have indoor and outdoor baths with views of the mountains. The private baths are on a first come first serve basis, but the room tv shows you if the private baths are available. If not you can wait in the lounge area outside the private baths until they become available. Each of the areas has showering areas with soap, shampoo, lotion... The staff was extremely helpful and polite throughout our stay. They were courteous and always asked if we needed anything to make our stay better. Also, they were very accommodating if we wanted to change times for meals or shuttle services. If you ever get a chance to stay in Yufuin, I would suggest choosing Saigakukan. We will definitely be coming back here.

This is the perfect place for Westerners to experience a ryokan. First of all, the ryokan is situated on a hillside overlooking the valley and Mt. Yufu. While the uninitiated can be at a loss of what to do and how to behave in a ryokan, the two charming "directors" speak good English and have lived several years on a work assignment in England. More than most, they understand Western habits and expectations. Unlike most ryokans, several room come equipped with both Western beds as well as classic tatami mats. The hotel offered two different bathing pools - Onsen - (inside and outside overlooking the mountains) for men and women as well as a private pool for families or small groups. Very nice. The staff is very anxious to please. The dining was very appealing to the eye though it is hard for me to judge how well it met Japanese standards. It's a unique and very insightful experience -- I strongly recommend this ryokan to Western travelers.

The hotel is really very nice and staffs are very friendly. It is about 5-8 minutes drive from the Yufuin JR station and the hotel offers free shuttle bus for pick up at the station. The hotel faces Yufu Mountain and the view from the resturant is excellent. My room is a traditional Japanese style room with balcony facing the Yufu Mountain as well. It is very spacious and comfortable. The outdoor hot spring is relatively large and it is so relaxing to enjoy the spring water bath. There are also 2 private hot springs that you can use whenever it is available (no need to book). After enjoying the hot spring, you can take a rest at the conversation room . The dinner is served with Wagyu beef and chicken and is very tasty. It really gives me a memorable trip in Yufuin and I surely recommended my friends to stay at this hotel.

Strong urine smell in the bathroom when checked in to the hotel.

Some might had a good stay with service, but sadly It has not happened to me. ; ( I stayed with my mum and dad for 1 night. Run of house type with half board. 1. The room condition - Normal, nothing special. But the room was small and right beside hallway. 2. Food - It was ok, but middle of the course, we had to wait for more than 10mins and other table who started dinner after us were served before us. 3. Location - far from main street, the Kinrin lake is 10mins away by car. 4. Smell - My mum didn't like the mell of "tatami", please be aware of that. And the room number "2105" is beside kitchen. Mixed smell of foods and tatami, wow, You don't want to smell it. My mum had headache all night and morning. She bearly slept that night. - I put on the air purifier all night but didn't help. 5. View from hot spring - Good........ Same as the photo. However, after that smell, I would pay more and stay other ryokan with similar view. I am not going to say do not stay there, I just want to say one thing. If you have a sensitive nose, then do not stay at "2105". ask them to change to another room.

Not bad for family getaways or lunch with spring. They offer decent quality lunch menu which was not enough for adults though.

Nice accomendation, room is nice and clean with amendeties. Nice Private Onsen, food was first day OK second day (our meaning) it taste not so good. But this can be our taste...... The staff is exellent and very friendly everething you ask is for them a plesure. Surroundings are supeeb.

This was my first time in a traditional ryokan, so my review does not draw from a reservoir of similar experience. I stayed one night in this beautiful establishment which is perched on a hill overlooking the town. It is a twenty minute walk from the town center, providing a rather calm atmosphere. It has a direct view of Mount Yufu, visible both from the restaurant and the baths. I slept in a traditional tatami room with a window to an outdoor corridor. Though the view wasn't great, it did give an idea of the Japanese skill in creating intimate spaces; it was decorated with moss-covered stone sculptures such as a small lantern and what looked liked a bird bath. It created the illusion that this was a private, protected space just for my appreciation. There are two public baths, one male and one female, and two private baths that all guests can use whenever available. Both public and private baths have outdoor and indoor facilities. I found the decoration around the baths beautiful and intimate. The included dinner kaiseki was highly decorative and tasty. It includes sashimi, pickled vegetables, miso soup, beef that you grill yourself, etc. You can order a single glass of plum-based alcohol or tea included in the meal. It wasn't the tastiest meal I have tried in Japan, but it was highly tasteful, natural and balanced. The breakfast the following morning was just lighter but just as tasteful. We tried each one of the private baths at dawn to see the sun rising. The hotel gave us a ride to Yufu station free of charge. All in all, the experience was enlightening, relaxing and definitely worth it.

I got the winner prize to rest at Yufuno Saigakukan. It ' s the ryokan hotel,(Japanese style). It's closely with Yufuin Mountain, very beautiful view. 2 types of onsen services; private and public onsen. The price is included with breakfast and dinner that very delicious. It's far 10 minutes from Yufuin village that you can walk and shop and you can enjoy with the lake.

This ryokan is a bit away from the main area. It's cool to see all the streams of onsen steam from different facilities over the city. The ryokan is traditional setting and has a bunch of old things set out as decoration. The night we were there happened to have a kagura performance, in which the ryokan owner was part of a group that sang and danced some folk songs. We had a very early departure so the staff had some onigiri and sandwiches for us to take along. My room had toilet but no bath facility which was fine since I rarely use my own shower when there's onsen facility.

The Japanese owners who lived in London for some years, provide a traditional style inn. One can select Japanese rooms or a room slightly more aimed at Westerners in that there is a western bathroom and a choice of a futon on a tatami mat or an ordinary bed. The rooms have a Japanese sitting area and a sleeping area , divided by sliding shutters. There is an onset- Japanese hot water spring bath, male and female areas separate. The Japanese dinner was spectacular even for this agnostic. The breakfast is also traditional Japanese fare which I found a bit challenging at 0745hr, but they have fruit, buns, jam and orange juice for the faint hearted. The staff are very kind and helpful and a very enjoyable stay is to be had.

I could not have found a better Onsen hotel, from the tea service offered at checkin to all the meals and baths, this place surpassed all my expectations. Just look at my pictures and you will know what I mean, it's almost too beautiful to believe. The drawback is that the hotel is a bit farther from the Main Street, so I did my touristy thing on the main street first, then grabbed a taxi( less than 1000yen) to the hotel around 4, and just relaxed at the hotel. I usually buy some snacks and booze for the evening in the room, since there's zero nightlife.

We met earthquake during our stay in hotel. I was impressed by the management and attitude of hotel staff. Although the hotel was damaged severely, hotel staff kept going in and out from the hotel to take jackets and quilt to customers. Everybody was panic at that moment. Luckily, hotel staff had good command of English, so that foreign customers could understand what was going on and what we should do. The hotel environment was excellent and the food was very nice. It was so pity for the loss and damages that had been caused. Thank you for the staff and hope it can recover soon

We stayed at Yufunogo Saigakukan on our first night in Yufuin. The hotel dining area has a lovely view. The staff were friendly and helpful. The price is very reasonable since it includes dinner and breakfast. Dinner is a nice kaiseki meal. We came with our friends and their family in a total of 12 people including kids - so they set a big table for us in a private dining area. The room we stayed was the Garden view room. It comes with a toilet room and a wash basin in the dressing area, but without the bathroom. We need to go to the onsen for bath. There is a public and 2 private onsen where you can use with your family or friends. It is on a first come first serve basis. It's pretty nice with outdoor onsen. There is a massage chair you can use in the public area as well.

I'm so glad we've chosen this place to stay... the room (specify mountain view) was great... service is excellent, i would only improve dinner, adding more variety for those who don't like fish... at dinner the beef was the best part (my opinion)...
