Yufuin Bath Satoyamasafu

We stayed in a suite with an open-air onsen on the ground floor . The experience was absolutely exceptional. The service, meal quality and overall ambiance were a perfect 10/10. The dinner blew our mind (we often seek out Michelin restaurants when we travel). Another delightful touch was the aroma of tea leaves in the suite adding to the tranquil atmosphere (except the Korean couple next door playing music loud) The ryokan offers a free pick-up service from Yufuin Station—just give them a call upon arrival. Having some basic Japanese can enhance communication with the wait staff

Away from the major busy train station area. A more traditional Japanese onsen inn. Not big but cozy. The name of the inn related to tea. Thus, they serve you some nice tea. Even the room has tea infuser (heating tea leaves under candle). Amazing food as we ordered the dinner and breakfast package. Price is not cheap but good quality meals and memorable experience.

We’ve stayed with the whole family (4 adults, 2 kids) for the night on the family room. The room is big for Japanese standards, very comfortable and authentically decorated. We had 3 rooms, with 4 futons and 2 twin beds. The room also had a private outdoors bath with a view to mount Yufu. That was great! There were another bath indoors. We had the traditional half board, and food was great and plenty. For the kids we’ve opted for child’s meals and that was an excellent choice. Staff went rolls and bolts to please us and make this a genuine Japanese experience

We love the environment of the hotel and the view from our room. We enjoy the free 4 kinds of tea drinks provided by the hotel and they all are very good.

The quiet surrounding and the traditional Japanese interior design.
