Top Kuju Natural Zoo Hotel Reviews

Yufuin Yawaraginosato Yadoya

10/10 Excellent

"all are amazing amazing!!! room is extremely clean and nice with big windows on dadami, and has every single item, small or not, required for daily life. staff in front desk, dining room and breakfast and others are kind, polite to the end. we feeling like king and queen. breakfast and dinner was delicious in the taste as we never had before.unbelievable taste. I really would go back to stay in this hote in the near future. I got the happiness of enjoying real Japanese food, taste, culture, I felt."

Kurokawa Onsen Ryokan Wakaba

10/10 Excellent

"This is a ryokan where the rooms have been updated but the onsen baths are still original, as is most of the town. The staff was extremely helpful. The cooks were very accommodating for gluten and dairy allergies, the breakfasts and dinners were delicious. There are two private baths you can reserve in addition to the male and female baths. The town is cute, you can walk all around it in a half hour, plus time for soft serve and coffee."

Ryokan Hachisunoito

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff and every space is really clean !! Food is buffet style but pretty good. Worth it with price"

Yufuin Hoteiya

10/10 Excellent

"It was our first visit to Japan and we had such a great time here. Nice and pleasant staff, clean facility and located in the beautiful place. Also the breakfast and dinner were amazing."

Nihon No Ashitaba

10/10 Excellent

"Everything is perfect."

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."

Yufuin Akarinoyado

10/10 Excellent

"There are three cats! One of them (orange tabby) was meow-ing outside our room and we went out to pat it. Staff were very friendly. The room was large for the three of us, and the futons were comfortable. There is a small AEON mall nearby. Inside there's a supermarket and DAISO. The supermarket closes at 10pm, so you don't have to worry about supper. The prices are pretty reasonable too! Cheaper than the conbini. It's a 20min walk to Yufuin Floral Village, but it's a very nice walk (provided you walk in the morning, before the sun coomes out). We went in August, and the heat was unbearable at times. There are bus options too, but the frequency is limited. They offer stargazing tour as well. It was 30 min of travelling (to and fro) and 10 min of stargazing, for 1000yen. Not worth imo, because the tour guide/driver will be using a torchlight to help participants take photos (because the location offered a nightview of Yufuin below). We couldn't see the stars very well because of this, which defeats the purpose of the tour."

Yufuin Ryokan Seikoen

10/10 Excellent

"We found this place the last minute after we decided to stay for overnight instead of making it a day-trip from Fukuoka. Absolute good decision! Everything is so good: room, staff, and the venue. Love it."

Kurokawa, Mori no Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful cabin, but it lack chairs. It did have floor cushions which is typical in Japan"
