Hotel dengan Balkoni di Yufu

這是一個精品酒店，衹有5套房間，小的70多平米，大的100多平米，價錢較貴，但我們入住期間都住滿了。 酒店在一個很有設計感的層層疊疊的園林內，每套房間外面都有綠色的小景。房間內有客廳、餐廳、睡房、盥洗間、廁所、大池子温泉，淋浴間和桑拿間，還有兩個小平台。酒吧裏的酒，小食，冰激凌等都是免費的。還有一小時的免費spa。 早餐在自己的餐廳裏，我們住了兩晚，第一頓晚餐在自己的餐廳用餐，第二晚在酒店的不對外營業的獨家餐廳用餐，日本廚師衹為我們夫婦服務。我們有絕對的私人空間，不會遇到酒店的其他客人。 我們入住時酒店剛開業3個月，還在磨合期，但可以感到工作人員都很敬業，希望提供最好的服務。我們的客户經理兼管家Eliena非常周到，隨叫隨到，英文溝通也沒問題。 問題：1. 房間設計需要考慮客户的安全。如睡房的床在一個半尺高的平台上，雖然有地燈，但夜裡起來容易一腳踏空。另，睡房至温泉、洗浴等areas要下三階台階，台階是水泥灰色的，雖然不高，但也容易被忽視。2. 雖然有玻璃隔門，但夜裡温泉流水及温泉相關設備比較響，第一夜很不習慣，較難入睡。有睡眠問題的住客可以和酒店協商夜裡將温泉關掉，就不流水了。

Spend my birthday at Kai Yufuin and it was a wonderful experience. Beautiful scenery, excellent food, and impeccable service. Would love to visit other branches of Kai / Hoshino Resorts in the future!

The house is new and super clean, with a beautifully designed interior. Everything is thoughtfully planned and made with quality materials. It’s perfect for relaxation, featuring an onsen, a well-equipped kitchen, and spacious areas. The large TV and comfortable bed add to the experience. It would be even better if the second-floor toilet had a sink. I absolutely loved my stay!

커플로 가기에 너무 좋은 숙소에요. 저는 친구끼리 셋이 갔는데. 엄청 프라이빗한 느낌이라 친구보다는 연인 끼리 가기 좋은 숙소 입니다. 깨끗하고 친절하고 영어도 적당히 하고 한국어가 되는 분도 계셔서 소통에도 크게 문제가 없었어요! 가이세키도 너무 맛있구요. 가격이 조금 쌔긴 한데 커플끼리 하루 정도 좋은 추억을 남기기엔 좋은곳입니다.

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.

This traditional but upscale Japanese hotel has amazing views overlooking Mount Yufu. We stayed at the Villas which are large rooms each with an outdoor small private onsen with great views of the mountain and countryside. It was so relaxing to soak in the private onsen and soak in the nature around. The villa was large and comfortable but the bedroom section was in an upper duplex with slightly steep stairs, which would be challenging for those with mobility issues. The other part of the hotel looks like it has more traditional rooms. The main reception and restaurant were both luxurious. Food (dinner and breakfast included) was superb with Japanese kaiseki for dinner and traditional breakfast set. The resort has 2 names: Okuyado Buaiso and Okuyufuin Kohgen Resort-this made it slightly confusing to find. Although prices are high (about US$500/night) I would highly recommend to stay here for the lovely experience.

This is a newly built property with lots of space for a family. No meals or onsen, but if you know your way around or simply want to stay in a place that is peaceful and well equipped then highly recommend.

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.

由布院駅から送迎をしてもらい5分程で到着。敷地は広く、建物が点在してますが全体に無駄を省いたコンパクト、シンプルな造りです。 メゾネットタイプを選択しましたが、結果平屋タイプで十分です。２階部分には露天風呂しか無く、そのスペースも*風景で居心地が良いものではありません。滞在中、2回しか上に上がらず意味ないなと。 食事は宿のレストランで2食取りました。良く言えば質素、意地悪に言えば感動が無く、多分半年後には記憶から消えてしまう食事でした。 接客は付かず離れずとういか、ほぼ放置。サーブのタイミングなどは問題ありませんが、値段の割にホスピタリティが感じられず、ちょっと寂しい思いをしたのは事実です。 部屋のインテリアや家具は、トーンが統一され居心地はまあまあなのですが、ホテルや旅館の、滞在する気持ちを上げるような要素はなく、人の別荘に泊まりに来たといった風情。 厳しい書き方になっていますが、値段見合いでの評価と捉えて貰えれば幸いです。

Very good 👍
