We had a wonderful stay at Yufuin Hoteiya. The check-in was very warm and welcoming, especially thanks to Oda-san. We loved our private onsen, and both the kaiseki dinner and breakfast were outstanding. One of the highlights was making popcorn in the hearth (Yoppite) room—such a fun and memorable touch. Service throughout our stay was impeccable, including the convenient drop-off service provided by the staff. The location is also excellent: an easy walk from Yufuin Station, with lots of charming shops along the way, and just a short stroll to Lake Kinrin. We truly enjoyed our time here and hope to come back again.

I liked that the location is away from the busy are, yet close enough. Good English support. We went up the hill and explored, which I would recomment if you want to get away from the crowd. Just a few good quality shops and art galleries, and restaurants up the hill.

It was generally good that you can enjoy a traditional Japanese style of stay. But it was bit cold at night time that requires extra heater to use.

Enjoyable stay

We had stayed for one night to celebrate our 4th Anniversary. We had a really enjoyable stay at the hotel. The staff were so nice and friendly. There was pick up service at the JR station and the hotel is very close to the Main Street for shopping and for food!

I loved the onsen options in Hoteiya. All the shared onsens are private and has different layouts for you to experience. The onsens in the room are also the perfect size and temperature. Huge kudos to the staff for being super attentive and providing detailed explanation of the property and for providing the right size clothing. Absolutely would return if I ever came back to Kyushu.

We can enjoy the traditional ryokan and onsen itself. Our family stayed one night separated in two rooms and enjoyed kaiseki and breakfast. Dinner was one of my best dinner ever. The only concern is flies and bugs. But the customers have to endure if they want to enjoy rural style environment.
