"오래된 온천이지만 정말 깔끔하게 관리하시는 것 같아 들어가는 순간 기분이 좋았습니다. 제가 주문을 안 해서인지 원래 식사 불포함인지 모르겠지만 식사도 어디서 할지 친절하게 알려주셨어요. 위치는 온천마을에서 2km 정도 거리가 있어서 차가 있는 경우에 가는 걸 추천합니다. 의치 찾는 데에 어려움이 있었는데 구글맵에서 숙소 이름을 검색해서 가세요. 호텔스닷컴에서 제공하는 주소로는 이상한 곳에 갑니다. 침대도 편안하고 화장실도 넓어서 매우 좋았습니다. 가족들과 또 한 번 가고 싶어요."

Top Kuju Natural Zoo Hotel Reviews

Yufuin Hoteiya

10/10 Excellent

"I felt very much at home and well taken care of. Hotel had everything we needed, really enjoyed our private outdoor bath. Food was delicious. Easy access with free parking. Short walk to main shopping street"

Ryokan Hachisunoito

10/10 Excellent

"I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, it’s clean, quiet and perfect for onsen. Staff are very friendly and helpful to carry our luggage to the room. There’s a private onsen if you want some privacy. I would recommend"

Nihon No Ashitaba

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent place"

Yufuin Onsen Toshoan

10/10 Excellent

"Boutique bed and breakfast type facility. Had a wonderful time at the hotel. Please keep in mind is a small cozy hotel. There isn't too much amenities but staff was great with what they offer. If you are looking for a nice place to relax with a beautiful mountain backdrop this is the place to be."

Rakuten STAY VILLA Yufuin Onsen

10/10 Excellent

"Fully remote/self service. Check in was through a screen. Love the property and amenities. Wish our stay was longer"

Kurokawa Onsen Ryokan Wakaba

8/10 Good

"Liked: Large rooms Did not like: Rigid dining schedule. Food, while plentiful and tasty, was served at a fast pace as the time available for dinner is limited. Private onsen not worthwhile -- water very hot and space cramped. No after dinner option to socialize. Bar very limited and closes (hard close) at 9 pm. Upon asking what people do in the evening we were told-- Onsen (bathe)! It is not everyone's preference to take a hot bath after dinner."

Gekkoju Kurokawa

10/10 Excellent

"It was the perfect gateway into our Ryokan/onsen experience with beautiful & spacious accommodations in a super private and relaxing setting. Having our own onsen with view of the mountains was an absolute dream after a week in the big cities. The attentive staff were exceptional and brought dinner to our room that we cooked over the coals for a unique experience. Overall an incredible retreat to come back to after a busy day of onsen hopping. Truly a first class experience!"

Yusai Bekkan

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and spacious traditional style room. Toilet was somehow a bit too small though, not particularly comfortable to use. Basin (for hand washing after using toilet) was then on the other side of the room which was a bit inconvenient. Hot spring facilities were at a different building (much newer and modern) which were 2 mins walk away. That was a slight problem when it was raining heavily when we were there. Parking was not great for our bigger car (RAV4 size type SUV). Tight space and lot of guests made parking very difficult. During golden week, when we stayed there, dining options at night were very limited in nearby regions."

Kurasako Onsen Sakura

10/10 Excellent

"Kind, helpful staff, with a lovely cozy cabin including our own private onsen tub! The grill set and the chance to bring ingredients and cook or own meals on the private terrace made the stay so special and memorable."
