Baien Reviews

Exquisite accommodation - service, food and onsen. The room size is very spacious, with separate living room and bedroom. Onsen environment was fantastic, with choice for both shared with other Ryokan guests and for private use (1st come 1st serve basis). My family was very delighted with all the breakfasts and dinners, and each meal is always a surprise to our palate without disappointment. However, on the 2nd day we were ushered into a room that was next to their service pantry. It was noisy and the spotlight in that dining room was too hot despite the cold weather. This was the only area that marred the enjoyment. There was happy hour in the evening, and complimentary self-service bar was enjoyed by all guests. Baien is framed by a beautiful scenery but you would need a car as the location is not too near town area. Great base to venture to other areas of interest and return to each day for zen relaxation.

The hotel is very beautiful, the room is also very big, and I booked a private bath, which is really enjoyable. The most surprising thing is the dinner. I thought it was just a set meal, but it turned out to be very rich, similar to Kaiseki cuisine, with not only various sashimi but also small hot pot, Wagyu barbecue, desserts, etc. I was really full at the end of the meal, and I felt that the room price was instantly halved. Haha. The Japanese breakfast the next day was also very good. Disadvantages: The transportation and life around the hotel are really inconvenient, and you can only choose hotel dining. There is not even a convenience store at the door. The hotel waiters are a bit short of staff and there is often no one at the front desk. The heating facilities in the lobby are open flames. Although you can't touch the fire inside, the shelves outside are hot, and children are prone to accidental injuries. This is especially important. Our room with a private bath is on the third floor, there is no elevator, and you need to carry your luggage up the mountain by yourself. If there is no man with you, it will be really tiring. This hotel has about 30 rooms, which is relatively large in Yufuin. The location is a distance away from Yufuin Railway Station. If you have a lot of luggage, it is recommended to take a taxi. We walked for about 20+ minutes to get there, mainly because the suitcases are not easy to push on the way up the mountain.

The location is good and the parking lot is very large! The hotel lobby staff speaks English, Japanese, and Korean. Also, the breakfast and dinner are clean and good, and the free drink bar from 21:00 to 22:00 was also pretty. The large bath and family bath are clean and well-managed. The yukatas are pretty and come in a variety of sizes, which is even better! Recommended

Walk to eat average breakfast rice even not familiar with the mountain rice hot spring hotel one night two have not tried a bit disappointed

It was a more satisfactory accommodation than the reviews I saw on blogs and YouTube~ The kaiseki was also good, so the adults were satisfied^^ The hot spring was also really, really good👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I traveled with my parents and children, and the room with a private outdoor hot spring was large enough for 4 people to use, so there was no inconvenience. The public bath and family bath were both great. The kaiseki was generous enough to fill my stomach halfway through, and since it was my parents' wedding anniversary, we also received sake for dinner. There was a staff member who spoke Korean well, so I was able to use it without any inconvenience.

The Japanese-style cabin has a quiet environment. The hotel has a large private bath for families, which is free. You can go to the private bath as long as there is no sign at the door. Just hang your own sign and you can enjoy the beautiful bath. There are not many people, and the area is divided. I went to take a private bath after checking in, and went to take a bath again at 6 o'clock the next morning when there was no one (someone had already finished the bath and came back earlier than me), it was beautiful

The hotel has a traditional Japanese style, with beautiful indoor and outdoor landscaping. The breakfast is a private box-style wooden box set meal, which is very special! Several disadvantages: 1. The windows are Japanese-style wooden windows, which are very light-transmissive and will wake you up early in the morning. 2. There is no bathroom in the room. You have to go to the public pool or family soup to take a bath. There are only two family soup rooms, and there is no time limit. They are almost full and it is difficult to wait for a space. The public pool is unattended. The outdoor pool has a beautiful view of the night sky, but there are mosquitoes.

A great experience, well worth it~. Will come again in the future

The room booked this time has a private open-air bath and indoor hot spring. The room is comfortable, there are Chinese-speaking staff in the lobby, the environment is elegant, and the meals are delicious. Although you have to eat in the restaurant and cannot eat in the room, each guest All have private dining rooms

It was really the best. The hot springs were great, the staff was friendly, the free bar was great, and the kaiseki was so delicious. I am so grateful to the staff for making my birthday perfect.

The experience of staying this time was great. I chose a room with an independent hot spring. The whole room is large and very comfortable. Of course, there are family hot springs outside, as well as male and female hot springs. It was the first time I stayed in such a Japanese-style room. I felt very relaxed and good. The service attitude of the hotel staff was very good. There was a welcome snack in the room, which was fried manju with brown sugar. My family fell in love with it and later found it in Yufuin. An Imaizumi shop that sells brown sugar fried manju. Because I chose to stay and eat two meals, I chose Japanese cuisine for dinner and breakfast the next day. I was very satisfied after eating the whole meal. At the same time, there were happy hours after dinner with wine and drinks, and later there was drink time for adults. This Only alcohol is left. This is my favorite hotel that I have encountered since I went abroad. Although everyone on the Internet said that it is quite far from Yufu Station on foot, about 16 minutes, but I think it is not bad to see the scenery along the way. I heard in some articles that taxis are hard to find, but when I went to the station that day, there were several taxis waiting there. When I arrived at the hotel, I asked if I could help reserve a taxi for the next day. In fact, it is possible👍 and the hotel is only five minutes away from Yufu Station. Around, the fare for me was 850 yen. There are also articles. There is nothing to eat around the hotel. There are many restaurants around the hotel. We even passed a few on the way from the hotel to Jinlin Lake. However, Japanese restaurants usually close early, especially in the suburbs. But there is really no 24-hour convenience store on the way to the hotel, but you will pass by a supermarket. If you are afraid of being hungry and have nothing to eat at night, you can go there and buy some. But I personally feel that the meals provided by the hotel are quite filling after eating all the way. I would still like to bring other family members to stay next time

The kaiseki and breakfast were very delicious, and the temperature of the open-air bath was just right, so it was great. I want to come back with my parents next time.

It was a big family trip. Two families traveled together, with some older people and some younger children. The hotel is located in the hot spring area of ​​Oita. We booked a variety of room types, so we were able to experience many of the hotel's facilities. You can choose a high-end option or a cost-effective option. Both dinner and breakfast are plentiful, and there is also a breakfast menu for children.
