Yufuinsanso Waremoko

An Amazing Cultural Experience

Reviewed By Siwa08

I cannot say enough about this amazing ryokan that my husband and I stayed at for two nights on our three week trip to Japan. It was an experience that we won't soon forget. Although it was expensive we felt it was well worth the money. The price included both breakfast and dinner, each consisting of multiple beautifully plated and delicious ( mostly) courses. Each dish was explained to us by the server and the owner dropped by at dinner to help us choose a bottle of sake to go with our meal. We were overcome by the quantity and quality of the food as well as by the friendliness and professionalism of the owners and staff ( all of whom spoke English). Our room was large with a spacious living room and a separate bedroom and was equipped with WIFI. Also included with our room were two private outdoor onsens with views of Mount Yufu and a small indoor onsen. I would highly recommend that people who want to experience a traditional Japanese ryokan go to Yufuinsanso Waremoko. The room, the food and, most importantly the owners and staff, are all exceptional.

Happy Neko Beppu

Comfortable budget accommodation in traditional Japanese house and apartments with tatami rooms in the heart of Kannawa hot springs area. Just a few minutes walk from Beppu Jigokus (Hells) and many onsens and restaurants.

Private On-Sen + Affordable Price + Free Transfer from Train Station

Reviewed By Hatyaiman

The key is Private On-Sen upon very good pricing. There are 4 On-Sen; 2 Outdoor and 2 Indoor. This will be good place for On-Sen upon privacy. We did try twice on Biggest On-Sen outdoor as 6-7 occupied. Dinner is optional but I saw many people took this option. I do believe that location is a little far from downtown (actually less than 10 min walk). Then, dinner should be placed in the hotel for convenience. Dinner and Breakfast is local taste. There is small vending machine in the lobby. Free Transfer can be made upon request by e-mail. I feel staying HOME not Hotel. Host and staff (speaking Japanese, English and Thai) are considered as 5-star service. Highly Recommended. Re-Visit for sure

Central Yufuin Lodging

Reviewed By Meowwww1968

We made a booking directly with the hotel (Google translate). Communication wasn’t very prompt and last email was never responded. But it was ok. Our request for ground floor room was granted. Room We booked a western twin room. It was small with no cupboard, only 2 hooks. Besides this, it was clean and came with attached toilet. Bed was comfortable as well. Facilities Nice public Onsen - large. A pity no view at all to speak off. I didn’t use their 5 private onsens since they were not attractive. Free beer, coffee & tea. Really pretty courtyard, especially in the evening with the kerosine lamps. In the daytime you can see there are room for improvement. Location Excellent, very close to Yufuin’s major attractions like the lake, shopping street and Floral Village. Yet it is located along a quaint canal with great view of the paddy fields and mountains. Not very convenient for walking from the station though due to the non-tar road in immediate vicinity. Taxi fare was reasonable - ¥710. Services Not the friendliest. Staff did bring us to our room, detouring to show us the onsens. However, quite grumpy. After check-in I asked for assistance to book a local restaurant. They won’t help. Food We changed our booking from half board to no meals after our requests for some food tweaks were refused. Conclusion I would return for their location, ambience, good value and the free beer/coffee ?

I am very happy here

Reviewed By roberthW1729ZR

I was almost discouraged by some bad reviews. But, i am very happy that I ignored his reviews and decided to stay here. I stayed here for two nights and I was very warm and comfortable. For 4350 you get a private room. The room is small and somewhat dilapidated. But it is clean, and the WiFi is very fast. The heating is great. The location of the hotel is perfect. And, during my stay it was very quiet. Although the room is dilapidated, it actually ended up being quite charming. Kind of old style retro. There are two single beds in the room. There’s even an old dial phone —and it works! Sink, small toilet, and very small bathroom. I didn’t use the shower/bath in the room anyway as the onsen is much better. The ladies who run the place are charming and very helpful. The downstairs area is very charming with many antiques. If you are looking for a luxury room, this place is not really for you. But, if you want a warm, comfortable and friendly location right in the center a block from the train station, this is a great option. Also, I arrived at around noon and checked in with no problem. Many other hostels or hotels in Japan seem to want to prevent you from checking in until 4:00 PM.

魚料理が美味しい旅館

 昔懐かしい小さな旅館でした。  温かいおもてなしを受けました。  刺身の舟盛りに孫が大喜びでした。新鮮な魚料理は美味しいものばかりでした。子供用料理も気遣いいただきました。  海も近いので、また行きたいです。

Yunosato Keisen

国東半島中心部に近い場所にあり、六郷満山(ろくごうまんざん)の寺社巡りやトレッキングには抜群の立地です。

Reviewed By trip_love_Japan

国東半島は中央に標高721mの両子山(ふたごさん)があり、そこから放射状に広がる28の谷があります。ちょうど和傘を広げた中心部に両子山頂上がある感じです。谷は深く地図上で近く感じても、谷をまたぐ場合は車移動でも時間が掛かります。海側に宿泊施設が多いのですが、移動時間を節約できる同じような山間部の宿はかなり少なく、一人客の受け入れをされていない宿もありますので大変助かりました。コロナ禍の中、時間を短縮して営業されています。「2020年7月より週4日木・金・土・日曜日のみ営業。【宿泊予約】木・金・土・日曜宿泊分のみ受付。【立ち寄り湯】木・金・土・日曜 16:00~20:00。【食事】木・金・土・日曜の夕食のみ。」となっています。系列の「国見温泉 あかねの郷」は休館されています。宿のホームページは無く、この最新情報は国東市観光協会のサイトに載っています。楽天トラベルやじゃらんでプラン内容は検索できるのですが実際宿泊日を選ぶと選択できないので、サイト経由でなく直接宿へ電話して予約しました。またクレジットカードは使えませんし、GoToトラベルキャンペーンには参加されていません。 宿泊客より圧倒的に車でいらっしゃる地元の入浴客が多く、駐車場は広めです。大分の旅行では地元の方向けの温泉にもちょうど行きたいと思っていたのですが、荷物管理や入浴後の移動が面倒だったので、宿で手軽に体験できて良かったです。皆さん「こんばんは~」と気軽に話し掛けて下さり、温泉県ならではの社交場の雰囲気を味わえました。 玄関位置が2階で、浴場や食堂は1階にあります。Amazonの中古でしか手に入らなかった豊嶺会の「国東半島山ガイド」本が普通にフロントで売っていました。今回六郷満山のトレッキング目的で宿泊しましたが、モンベルのフレンドショップのマークもあったので登山者の利用が多そうです。玄関には体温チェックのシステムがあり、ロビー付近は換気の為扇風機が複数回っていました。食事は苦手な食材を調整頂き助かりました。布団は薄めでマットはありませんので、厚めが好みの方は洋室のベッドの方がいいかもしれません。コンビニなどは付近にありません。またWi-Fiは無いようですので、宿の通信環境をあてにされている場合は事前に知っておかれた方がいいと思います。

一泊4組限定のプライベート感満載の隠れ家的なお宿

Reviewed By BakuDra

夕食飲み放題コースがあるのに惹かれて予約。 一泊4組限定で貸切風呂は3つなのでそんなに待つことはないと思います。ちなみに僕らが泊まった日はオミクロン拡がるコロナ禍の平日だったので一組しかおらず温泉は入り放題でした! 夕食は水炊きを選択。飲み放題だったため、食事やおつまみ、そしてこちらの好みに合った色々なお酒をご主人にオススメいただき、焼酎(米、黒糖、芋、麦どれもこれも)、日本酒、ワイン等々美味しいお酒をとことん飲むことができ楽しいひとときでした。 由布院に行くときはまた泊まりたいです。

貸切り日帰り温泉

Reviewed By apuurike

明礬温泉を貸切りで楽しめる今は日帰り専門の旅館。 家族湯は3つあり、入口で場所を指定されます。 緑がかった乳白色の湯は熱めで硫黄臭。 勿体ないけれど少し水を入れて入りました。
