Hotels in der Nähe von See Kinrinko, Yufu

It’s the third time we came to Yufuin. Previously, we stayed in onsen hotels with meals provided. This time we are staying for 2 months in Japan to experience the local life, and Yufuin was our third stop, where we stayed for 6 nights. The service is top notch. The host responded very quickly whenever I had queries, and very clear instructions for free pick-up were given days before check-in. As we stepped in the house, the air- conditioner had already been turned on there were 3 big bottles of water in the fridge which made us feel so welcome. They collected our trash every day and asked us what we needed. The guesthouse is an independent unit full of beautiful Japanese decorations. It was sparkling clean and thoughtfully furnished with everything you need. A first-aid box was provided. We were given 12 sets of clean towels and toilet amenities, including toothbrushes. We have stayed in different apartments before and have never experienced this. More importantly, the kitchen was well equipped with everything—many cutlery items of different sizes and even wine glasses. There were a hot pot and a frying pan, a toaster, rice cooker, coffee machine, and even a dishwasher. You can't imagine there is even a massage chair! The bathroom was designed like an onsen. You can simply add some onsen powder to enjoy a hot bath. You can easily access different attractions on foot. The location is about a 20-minute walk to the nearby supermarkets, 25 minutes to the main shopping streets, and 30 minutes to the JR station. If you drive, it is even easier. For us, we enjoyed walking and seeing the beautiful scenery, so it was not a problem for us even though we didn’t drive. Every day we walked to the supermarkets and bought fresh produce to cook. We had so much fun making different dishes and hot pot. When we asked for a whetstone, the host quickly gave us theirs, and the next day, they bought us a new one. They even gave us sake as a gift. On the day of check-out, the host drove us to the JR station and helped us store our luggage in the visitors’ centre. Next time when we come to Yufuin, we will definitely stay here again. It’s really great value for money.

Great onsen experience. The package with half broad, meal was great. Also the room has indoor private onsen. Should try experience (but a bit pricy 😅)

Das Hotel ist im Berg und empfiehlt einen Bus. Sehr traditionelles schönes japanisches Hof, professionelle Rezeption. Es gibt eine öffentliche Bar/Kaffee, man kann das Buch lesen und ausruhen. Das Zimmer verfügt über eine sehr komfortabel und warme private Suppe, und Sie können auch die Familiensuppe des Hotels buchen, die Landschaft ist besser, um etwa einen Tag zu empfehlen. Das Zimmer ist ein einzigartiges Zwei-Etagen-Suite, der zweite Stock ist Mais und ein Badezimmer, der erste Stock ist ein Wohngebiet.

Ich hatte ein Zimmer mit privatem Thermalbad gebucht. Am 9. Dezember gab es zwar keine Dusche im Zimmer selbst, aber das private Thermalbad befand sich direkt daneben. Ich dachte: „Wie soll ich denn da duschen? Das Wasser muss ja eiskalt sein!“ Aber vielleicht lag es am Thermalbad, dann war es angenehm. Da es ein privates Thermalbad im Zimmer war, konnte ich mindestens dreimal täglich duschen! Mir war es etwas peinlich, im großen öffentlichen Bad zu duschen, deshalb genoss ich einfach mein privates Bad. Die 60.000 Schritte, die ich in zweieinhalb Tagen zurückgelegt hatte, waren damit wieder vergessen! Das Kaiseki-Menü war durchschnittlich. 💜 Abholungen vom Bahnhof sind bis 17:00 Uhr möglich und fahren stündlich. Das Hotel liegt am Stadtrand, daher benötigt man ein Taxi oder einen Shuttlebus. (Uber ist absolut unmöglich. Wenn Sie eine Bustour machen und in Yufuin aussteigen möchten, buchen Sie diese Unterkunft bloß nicht! Ich bin auf halber Strecke ausgestiegen und konnte mich trotzdem gut fortbewegen.) Die Essenszeiten sind gegen 18 Uhr. Wenn Sie also nicht vorher einchecken, bekommen Sie nichts zu essen. 😂 Es gibt aber einen Shuttlebus zum Bahnhof Yufuin, sodass die Anreise relativ einfach ist! Die Abfahrtszeiten sind 9:00, 9:30 und 10:00 Uhr. Da viele Leute nach der Tour um 10:00 Uhr abreisen, empfehle ich den Bus um 9:30 Uhr. Dieser bietet die meiste Zeit (10–15 Minuten bis zum Bahnhof Yufuin). Sie können Ihr Gepäck auch in der Gepäckaufbewahrung am Bahnhof lassen und die Eröffnung des Restaurants genießen! + Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. (Eine Mitarbeiterin sprach während meiner Kaiseki-Erklärung Koreanisch.)

Für Reisende, die nicht selbstfahren, ist die Lage sehr bequem, etwa 10 Minuten vom JR-Standort und dem Hochgeschwindigkeitsbusbahnhof entfernt, auch die Thombo-Street sehr nahe. Die Hotelumgebung ist sehr klar, alle Zimmer sind unabhängig; außerdem verfügt das Hotel über kostenloses Getränke und Bier und warme Eier. Der Personalservice ist super gut. Das nächste Mal möchte ich in demselben Hotel leben.

一泊二食的温泉旅館,房間內有私人温泉很方便,相對而言公眾浴池不算太大,但不多人.當天早上去時沒有人,也是很舒服的享受了戶外温泉的樂趣.房間是傳統日式風格,很舒服,也很衛生.員工不太會說英文,但會盡力用手機翻譯等方法與客人溝通,基本上是沒有問題的. 食物是用心預備的,但晚餐不是太合自己口味,反而早餐有驚喜.還有免費冰棒,温泉蛋及啤酒.位置距車站步行20分鐘較遠,但到湯布院基本上都會逛湯之坪街,如果是由湯之坪街步行過去,算10分鐘路程還是可以的. Check out時間到12點很好,上午早餐後回房間還可再享受早上的温泉時間才離開. 總體而言是十分滿意的住宿體驗,好好享受了温泉的樂趣,下次到湯布院會再次考慮入住的.

Our ryokanl booking came with sukiyaki dinner and breakfast. We enjoyed the dinner very much but had to skip the breakfast due to our tight schedule. The ryokan had a cosy atmosphere, almost as if like we were staying at a good friend's house. There were a few cute and friendly cats which were mostly hanging around the courtyard and reception area. Nice onsen private onsen baths. Wished that the ryokan had provided luggage stands for us to put our luggages instead of us having to place our luggages on the floor and on the sofa.

What a blast I had here!!! I only stayed for one night and now I wish I had stayed longer. It was a Friday so Rio, the owner, organizes a night of games at the public gymnasium for teenagers (who although growing up already have the strength of super-powered samurais) and whoever else wants to participate. I haven't run and wake up with so many bruises since high school! It was really cool how everyone is quick to set the props for each game, we played 4 or 5 games in one hour!!!! It felt like a much longer time, everyone gave their best presence and participation all the time! It seems the other nights he takes everyone for a walk to see the stars, and Tuesdays there's also volleyball. Anyways, he is pretty proactive and creative , so I'm sure there's many variations and possibilities! The living room is very pretty, the sofas super comfortable and the view gorgeous! The bed was very hard :/ this was the only big issue for me. The onsen is so cozy, the water super smooth and instrumental music playing. Delicious! The conditioner smells great! I was a bit worried that they had too many rules, because when I contacted they informed about the need to leave the house everyday from 10 until 16. And that the eating time was very specific: 7:20 in the morning and 7 at night... So I was worried they would be too strict...but there's no need to join the food. I had breakfast and it felt like it would be at the communal dinning of beauxbatons, everyone sitting closeby with identical very beautifully presented meals that come in many quantity but small portions. It is not my jam, but for sure it is special! Some informations could be a bit more clear because they are a bit slow responding. For example they have a pick up time in front of the army at 6pm. I asked info for an amazing lady at the Art Center inside the station, Chika, and she called them. She ended up taking me herself and was the best company I could have found! She is an artist, we went to the supermarket and had great conversation! I recommend going to the art center to say hi to Chika! Lots of love, thank youuu Mountain Mamas!!!

Well run resorts with top notch service. Set in a very serene surrounding facing paddy fields and mountains. A great base to explore the outdoor options around the Yufu / Beppu area. The dinners and breakfast meals are relatively ‘formal’ but love the variety of traditional Japanese food and the meticulous service by the crew, especially Tami who speaks very good English and introduced us to many local attractions.

Ein sehr schönes Thermalbadhotel, das Personal ist großartig, die Atmosphäre und die Zimmer sind ausgezeichnet.
