"The main reason we chose Satoyama Chafu was the opportunity to soak in the hot spring while admiring the view of Mount Yufu. The hotel staff provided excellent service, and the food quality was also quite good."

"They offer a shuttle service, but you need to call to arrange the pick-up for your arrival, which I couldn't do since I don't have a Japanese phone, so I just walked and enjoyed the scenery along the way. For my departure, they dropped me off at the station. It's a 5-minute walk to Lake Kinrin, and both dinner and breakfast were delicious and filling! You can also visit their sister onsen for a hot spring bath, and the water there is even hotter. Yufuin is definitely worth an overnight stay."

"If you're looking for an authentic and charming ryokan experience in Yufuin, Hasuwa Inn is a must. From the moment you arrive, you feel a sense of tranquility. The meals, both dinner and breakfast, were not only delicious but incredibly generous – you won't leave hungry! The private onsen bath was perfectly clean and so relaxing. What truly set this place apart was dining while watching trains gracefully pass through the beautiful mountain landscape. It was a truly perfect and memorable stay.”"

"The staff were incredibly helpful and their English communication was excellent. They explained every little detail about the facilities meticulously. The hot spring water in the room flowed continuously, and with the floor-to-ceiling window, the air circulation was great, making for a fantastic onsen experience. The hotel is a bit far from the city center, so I highly recommend booking their free shuttle service to and from the city to save a lot of travel time."

"This guesthouse has a story to tell in every corner, retaining some of its original Japanese style. The environment is quiet and clean. The evening hot spring bath is by reservation for one hour per group, allowing couples to enjoy a private bath together. A thorough introduction is provided before check-in. The owner is friendly and beautiful 🥰. Breakfast is a traditional breakfast (the rice is superb). I highly recommend allowing time to fully experience and appreciate every detail. Although the location is a bit far from the station (a 15-minute walk), I recommend taking a taxi from the station to the guesthouse. There's a luggage delivery service to the station upon check-out, so you don't need to rush to pick it up. You can pick up your luggage when you catch the train (luggage storage costs about 600-800 yen). You can easily stroll around Yufuin, enjoying the clean air and streets. If I had to point out a downside, it would be the noticeable dampness of the tatami mats, probably because it's near a mountain and quite humid. Also, being a guesthouse, they don't offer any services after 9 PM. We arrived very late and didn't have time to buy anything before checking in. There are no convenience stores nearby, and the guesthouse doesn't have vending machines selling food. But as long as you don't arrive right on time like we did, you won't have this problem. 🙂"

"The stay was excellent. The front desk staff spoke fluent English and personally showed me around and explained the rooms. In addition to the shared onsen (hot spring bath), each room also has a private azazato (family bath), making it perfect for families. Breakfast and dinner were both very plentiful and generous in portion. Very satisfied."

"The hotel staff are mostly Korean, and the owner is also Korean. We booked a triple room on the first floor, which was conveniently close to the outdoor onsen. The room itself was spacious and clean. The onsen was also excellent. We visited on a weekday, and it seemed like there were only two groups of guests, including us. It felt like we had the dining area and the onsen all to ourselves. Aside from briefly seeing them at the front desk, we didn't encounter the other guests at any other time. We had booked a package that included dinner. The dinner was a delightful, multi-course Japanese meal (kaiseki-style), where each dish was introduced and served individually, only after the previous one was finished. Upon departure, a complimentary shuttle service to the station was provided. However, getting there upon arrival was a bit tricky; we had to take a taxi (around 1000 JPY) as it involved an uphill walk, and it was quite hot. Walking would have taken 30-40 minutes. The hotel is a convenient 10-15 minute walk from Kinrin Lake and the 'Fairytale Village.' You could easily visit these attractions in the morning, return, and then check out before departing. If you need to do laundry, there's a coin-operated laundromat a 7-8 minute walk away (as shown in Pic 4). For those who prefer to buy their own breakfast, a convenience store is a 10-minute walk, conveniently located on the way to Kinrin Lake."

"It wasn't an expensive ryokan, so I didn't expect much, but I was satisfied and had a good rest. It took about 5 minutes to walk from the station, but it was easy to find because you just have to go straight down, and the room was also satisfactory. I tried the kotatsu for the first time, and the heating was really warm. I used the hot springs, the most popular one in the evening, and the small indoor hot spring in the morning. The most popular one is always crowded and is closed during dinner time, but I was able to go in after eating dinner and waiting for less than an hour on the chair in front of me. They set a dinner time, but I was at 6:30, and it seems to be open from 6, but it seems like the first person who had dinner around 7:20 was the one who used it. I think it's about 30 to 50 minutes per time slot, so you can wait. I didn't eat breakfast because I slept in late."

"Clean space with 3 rooms — 2 western and 1 Japanese. Beds are decent for the western rooms but the tatami sleeping proved to be literally hard without much comfort. Lots of towels provided, enough for two nights. Located in a local neighbourhood amidst rice paddies and a scenery of the mountains, with the nearest supermarkets just within a 5 min drive away. There is the YouTube and Netflix option for the projector tv, but the living room is rather small. Sofa can be replaced by tatami seats or plastic chairs for rearranging. Stairs are rather steep; children and the elderly may want to reconsider. Overall a decent experience"

"This was my second trip to Yufuin with my mother and family. Ten years ago, I stayed at the Yamano-kan Hotel, and this time I stayed at the Ryotei Tanokura Hotel. Only after checking in did I realize they were from the same group. The two hotels are connected, with a total of four hot spring baths. However, perhaps because it wasn't peak season, we had the men's hot spring bath to ourselves twice a day, morning and evening. The wooden, rustic, pure Japanese style offered a tranquil experience. The biggest advantage is its proximity to Lake Kinrin, within 100 meters. The butler service was very attentive and considerate, providing round-trip transportation from the station. The food was as expected in terms of quality and taste."
