It was a one of the nicest ryokan I've ever been.
The meals were perfect.
The most beatiful thing was the main open sky bath. I wanna go there in next year too.
I stayed here in Nov 2024 and Jun 2025. This property is so beautiful. There is long term construction right next to the property so there is noise during the day.
Everything was perfect to have a relaxing time.
Everything about Nihon No Ashitaba was so incredibly beautiful, serene, and thoughtful. They offer a free shuttle everyday to Yufuin station where you can walk, shop, eat, and enjoy Yufuin. We were greeted promptly after riding the Yufuin No Mori from Hakata Station.They have multiple private onsens and a large open air hot spring you can reserve a time everyday if you wanted. Their breakfast and dinner is absolutely amazing and gives you a truly genuine Japanese food experience. The villas/homes on the property are tradition style and are very spacious and clean. The landscape of the property is quiet and offers you a peaceful onsen experience. The best part about Nihon No Ashitaba is the impeccable service and generosity of their staff. Yuji in particular, really cared for us and worked hard to make our stay the best experience ever! Thank you so much for the wonderful time in Yufuin!
Everything about our stay was wonderful — the beautiful scenery, the exceptional kaiseki dinner and breakfast , the warm and attentive staff, and such a comfortable, restful sleep. Our kids absolutely loved it, and we’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!
