Asrama di Yufu

This is not your typical ryokan. The rooms are big with a good sitting area.. The soaking tub and shower had so many mechanisms that it takes a while to figure out all the controls. Every room has a great view of Yufu mountain and the valley. Some of the rooms are free standing units. Service is great and the included dinner is outstanding. It is a typical Japanese kaiseki dinner with numerous courses. Breakfast is entirely Japanese style, and they serve rice, miso soup and fish. Put up with it if your taste is 100% western. You can have a nice cup of coffee or juice near the lobby when you finish your breakfast. Though they will not serve you coffee with the breakfast. Overall, you will be overjoyed with this place.

We have been to Japan so many times and have been very impressed by Japanese hospitality. However, this was the first time we felt so unwelcome. The front desk lady did not have any emotions on her face and she gave the impression that she was unhappy to see us. She sounded really pissed (just short of slapping my hand) when I asked whether we can take the toothbrushes. The toothbrushes were complimentary amenities for their guests and she asked us not to touch it only after we are settled and about to leave the room then the other staff told us to just feel free take the toothbrushes. They were extremely rigid for the meal times. There were nine of us in the group. For breakfast they were only offering us two timeslot for the breakfast however being in the onsen town, I would want to take a bath before coming for breakfast. During check-in we were told that the group wont be allowed to enter the restaurant unless all 9 of us arrive. I was pretty upset that I cancelled my breakfast so that the rest of the entourage could enter next morning. But the next morning, they allowed them to enter minutes apart. I wish they would be more thoughtful and took some extra step to at least try to explain to me that I can be late a little bit late instead of canceling the breakfast when I told them that because I want to use the onsen. Instead of a flat NO in the beginning. Sometimes the tiny extra mile will bring a smile. Language is a barrier i understand but to me this is simply unwelcoming us. We like to come to Japan because the people take pride in what they do during dinner we also found a strand of hair in the food. This was extremely surprising. They did offer a plate of tempura as apology, but this was a little bit uncomfortable by the standard that we have been going through during all our trips in Japan. However, I have praises for their service Staff who tried very hard to explain to us the meal The onsen and the rooms in need of some changes. While I understand the rustic feel of the onsen they would like to give to the guest, however it does not give a very safe and welcoming feeling I have been to other ryokans that also give rustic vibes, but this one gave an extremely rundown vibe. The floor of the rooms are also very ‘sticky’ This is extremely unfortunate as I really enjoyed the onsen water but the whole environment just did not make me feel relaxed. The location although a little further in, it is very scenic. Such a pity that we did not have a good experience.

I stayed at Itsuki Yufuin was for one night in October 2022. With many repeat visits to Japan over the years excellent hospitality is a given. However, my experience at this ryokan was so outstanding that I'm compelled to leave a glowing, though belated review. I had originally booked another ryokan in Yufuin. The other ryokan, noticing that I was a solo traveler, reached out to cancel my reservation. I was lucky that Itsuki still had availability for my dates and accepted a solo booking. On arrival, I was greeted and shown to my room which was unexpectedly the size of an entire house. The rooms were very comfortable, and I immediately regretted that I only spending one night. There was an indoor and outdoor onsen, both impeccably clean. The bathroom was supplied with plenty of towels and amenities. I could see the top of Mt. Yufu from the outdoor bath. Dinner was delicious and beautifully presented, served in a private room in the main building. A friendly and enthusiastic staff member, named Van, explained the dishes in detail. My cottage consisted of a very comfortable western bed, with a separate room for futons. The area was very quiet at night and I had a restful sleep. Breakfast was served, with help from Van, again privately in the main building. The breakfast consisted of wholesome, local ingredients, filling and energizing but not too heavy. Upon check out, I requested a taxi to take me to the train station. When the driver arrived, I vaguely heard the staff speaking to him but didn't pay much attention. At Yufuin station, the driver declined my payment and indicated that Itsuki had covered my taxi fare! I was so pleasantly surprised. My stay by itself had already been impressive, and this wonderful gesture made it unforgettable. The staff and accommodations at Itsuki have left such a positive and lasting memory. I am looking forward to returning to charming Yufuin, using it as a break mid-trip to simply relax. I would definitely choose to stay again at Itsuki for its warm courtesy and peaceful surroundings.

1分，不會再去， 我在2018年底去， 酒店地點偏僻 ，道路于回，我自己開車好難搵， 登記時候發現有 國內同胞站前台， 感覺還可以 ，到食晚餐時間 ，晚餐份量 非常少， 吃完等於冇吃， 我再去市內 餐廳 進餐 ，我訂了有獨立溫泉套房之高級客房， 第二天早上 11時check out ，出嚟 見到大堂放滿毛巾床單 ，之前的那個中國 接待員黑面 ，我們離開時她只底頭扮忙，看看我們 經過 ， 創作不知 ，沒有送我們， 不知是否十一時 ，check out太遲，這一切令到我對日本旅館感覺完全改觀， 永遠不會再光顧， I went there at the end of 2018. The hotel is in a remote location and the road is narrow. It is very difficult for me to drive by myself. When I checked in, I found that there were Chinese receptionist standing at the front desk. Which make me feel good, to meet a Chinese people outside home town, after check in I went foe dinner, the potion are very little, you didn't feel eating after the meal has finished, then I go to the restaurant in the city for dinner again, I booked a superior room with an independent hot spring suite. I checked out at 11:00 the next morning. When I came out, I saw that the lobby was full of towels and sheets. The previous Chinese receptionist had a black face. We left. At that time, she just pretended to be busy and watched us pass by, but she didn't send us off. I didn't know it was too late to check out at eleven o'clock. All these made me feel completely different about Japanese hotels n culture, and I will never visit them again. 私は2018年の終わりに遊びに行きました。ホテルは離れた場所にあり、道路は戻ってきました。 一人で運転するのはとても難しいです。 チェックインしてみると、フロントに国内の同胞が立っていた。 、夕食は市内のレストランに行きます。 独立した温泉スイートのあるスーペリアルームを予約しました。 翌朝11:00にチェックアウトしました。 出てきたとき、ロビーはタオルとシーツでいっぱいだった。 前の中国の受付係は黒い顔をしていた。 私たちは出かけた。 その時、彼女は忙しいふりをして、私たちが通り過ぎるのを見ていた。 彼女は作成方法を知りませんでしたが、私たちを送り出しませんでした。 彼女は11時にチェックアウトするには遅すぎるかどうか知りませんでした。 これらすべてが私に日本のホテルについて全く違うと感じさせました、そして私は二度とそれらを訪れることはありません。

源泉掛け流しの露天風呂がお肌ツルツルになり最高でした。料理も豊後牛や鶏が美味しく量も充分。女将さんやフロントの方が花火大会や祭りの状況など親切に説明してくれました。古い宿ですが、とにかく温泉の質で評価されるべき宿だと思いました。

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.

제목에 그릴된소고기 저녁식사라고 되어있었는데 식사가 제공되지 않는다고함... 방 가격에 저녁식사가 포함된 가격이라고 생각해서 가성비있는 곳이라고 생각했는데... 식사도 없고 한명추가되니 숙박세와 별도로 11만원을 더냄..ㅠ 엘레베이터가없어서 캐리어는 계단으로 옮겨야하고 반노천탕 샤워기 위로 거미와 벽에 거미줄들이 많았어요.. 근처에 다이소랑 이온마트가 있는데 저녁은 그냥 이온마트에서 스시같은거 사다드시길 추천!!!!!! 버스터미널과 이온마트가 가까운것 외 장점은 잘모르겠고 재방문은 안할것같습니다.

以前から泊まってみたかった由布院。豪華観光列車ななつ星を手掛けた水戸岡悦治さんのトータルデザインでリニューアル。旅館ですが、椅子やベッドがあり、シンプルながら素敵なデザインで、お部屋に人が出入りされるのが好きでない私たちにぴったりでくつろぐことができました。 　食事は、別のお部屋で頂くので、部屋食より気楽で良かったです。お料理は、盛り付けも工夫されていて美しく、おいしく頂くことができました。若い女性スタッフの方に質問すると、料理以外も何でもきちんと答えてくださり、感心しました。食べ物を残せない私たちには、鍋が、一品多かったので、お腹いっぱいでした。旅館は、夕食も朝食も量が多いので、旅館2日続きは年をとると少し苦しかったです。 　お風呂は、時間を決めて、家族で入れるもので、広い露天風呂もありくつろぐことができました。 　金鱗湖や湯の坪街道を散策するのに便利な場所にあり、ショッピングも楽しめて、楽しかったです。 　また、いつか、由布院を訪れる際は、泊まりたいですね。
