  Room was big and clean, basic amenities provided. Location is good - short 10 min walk away from the JR station and the town centre, so food and sights are easily accessible. Daiso and supermarket is 3 mins away. Room only has toilet and sink, and while every room is allocated a private bathhouse, these private baths are a walk away, behind the rooms and near the carpark. You have to ask for the key from the reception before each use. So every time you wish to take a shower you have to get the key and walk out - depending on the weather (and if you are travelling with elderly or young kids) it may or may not be a pleasant or convenient experience. The public bath for those staying in the ryokan was nice. Ryokan is pretty, but the pebbled paths may not be the most convenient if you are coming with luggage.

  Wonderful experience. Fantastic location. Had our own cottage to ourselves. The public and private onsen were all great. Had dinner/breakfast one night and it was very good with lots of local foods. 5 star experience all around. I cannot recommend more highly.

  You can’t skip this hotel if you visit Yufuin. It’s just 10-minute walk from the train station. The food and onsen were superb. Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel rooms are in independent Japanese small houses, i.e. each small house is one hotel room. It’s spacious.

  TLDR; extremely disappointing as a japanese ryokan Booked a room and was supposed to have access to a private bathhouse that you can soak in at any time and as long as you want. However, when i went to the front desk to get the key for the private housebath, it was given to another guest. They then gave me the key to another bathhouse and was limited to only 1 hour use. The next morning, i went to the counter to ask for compensation, but was met with a patronising man who brushed off the issue and threw a free gift on the counter to dismiss me. In the end, i still had to check out early and was offered to use the bath house for 2 hours. I might as well have booked at a normal hotel, paid for a fancy dinner elsewhere, visited other private onsen and would have saved so much money instead of paying a premium price for a lousy experience. If you're looking for a good ryokan and expecting omotenashi おもてなし, head elsewhere because you're not going to find it here. おもてなしmore like おもて「ない」し EDIT after ryokan's reply: Apologies are free and do not change the fact that money was wasted. Why would I return? 😮‍💨

  Best ryokan so far from all my trips. Spacious room, polite staff (able to communicate in English), tasty breakfast, nice outdoor onsen with excellent view. They also offer private onsen to use, there are 8 private onsens, 3 of those need to pay, and others are free to use, just need to collect the key from the front desk. The only downside is the location is a bit far from the train station and some slopes need to overcome. Be prepared
