Hotel Yufu dengan Kolam Renang

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.

10月15日(日)から1泊「山茶花」に宿泊しました。とてもしっとりとした落ち着いた風情で、どこからでも由布岳を眼前に眺めることができ、湯の坪通りや金鱗湖まで歩いて7~8分の場所にあるので、お籠りをしつつ湯布院を楽しむには最適な宿だと思います。 [客室について] 一棟一棟が離れになっている客室は趣があり、部屋までのアプローチになっている小径もとても素敵です。客室はとても広く贅沢に空間が採られていて、居間、寝室、温泉、テラスがそれぞれ仕切られています。気になったのは、隣の客室との距離が近いので、隣室の声が聞こえること、全体的に照明が暗すぎること、テラスに雨漏りがしていたこと、ベッドの寝心地がイマイチだったことです。 　 [温泉について] 部屋には、2人はゆっくり入れるであろう石の内風呂と、1人用の木の半露天風呂があり、24時間好きな時に湯浴みを楽しむことができます。単純泉ですが少しヌメリがあり、とても気持ちの良い温泉でした。湯温もちょうど良かったです。 　 [食事について] 個室で夕食は和会席が朝食はアメリカンブレックファーストが提供されました。見た目や器にもこだわりを感じる料理は五感を刺激する、とても美味しい料理で、湯布院らしいレベルの高さを感じましたが、湯布院にある老舗高級旅館のそれと比べると、もう少し頑張ってほしいところです。ただ夕食時に一定の飲み物がフリードリンクで提供されていたのは、大きなプラスポイントだと思います。 　 [サービスについて] スタッフは皆さん若いですが、丁寧で一生懸命なのが伝わってきて、好感のもてるサービスでした。また1時間2,200円で最長13時までレイトチェックアウトができるサービスはお籠り派にはうれしいサービスでした。ただ、フロントに何もわからない男性スタッフが1人だったのには困惑しました。

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.

유후인 버스터미널에서 가깝습니다. 캐리어 끌고 5분거리에 얼리 체크인은 안되지만, 짐은 1층 프론트 옆에 맡길수 있습니다. 저희는 3층 방을 배정받았는데, 3층과 2층에 각각 전자렌지랑 식수를 사용할 수 있는 곳과 냉장고가 있는 탕비실 같은 곳이 있습니다. 각 층마다 공용 화장실도 있습니다. 온천 사용세 1인당 250엔을 따로 내고 예약하고 사용했습니다. 온천은 1박당 1번으로 체크인시 다음날 아침 것도 예약하고 싶었지만 잘 안해줍니다. 다른 분들이 모두 체크인하고 예약이 완료되어야 2번째 예약이 가능하다고 했습니다. 다음날 아침 온천은 저녁 늦게 예약완료했습니다. 다만, 예약은 안했어도 사용이 가능했을 것 같습니다. 온천 사용 예약자가 아침엔 없더라구요. 큰 방을 예약해서 그런지 넉넉하고, 편하게 쉬다 왔습니다. 마운틴 뷰도 좋았구요. 온천 예약도 쉽고, 편리했네요. 다만, 3층 방까지 캐리어를 들고 계단을 올라가는건 조금 버거웠어요 ^^;; 즐겁게 잘 쉬다 왔습니다.

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。

The three of us (including Mrs. KI-NRT and her mother) spent the final 2 nights of our Kyushu sojourn at in Yufuin, and through extensive research we settled on Sanso Murata, which appeared to be the most unique and luxurious ryokan in the area. We also chose two rooms that were adjacent to one another - ”Sou” and ”Hou,” due not just for their proximity, but because their design aesthetic was most appealing to us (choose carefully, because each of the 12 rooms have their own unique characteristics, and because guests staying there have the option of having dinner served in their rooms. They appeared to be the most modern and Western in decor and furnishings compared to some of the other rooms, which were more traditional Japanese in look and feel. The property sits up on a small hill above Yufuin's main area (about a 5 minute drive away), which is a plus or minus, depending on what you're looking for. Given that we had our own vehicle and parking space in Yufuin is rather abundant, we felt that it was worth staying in a secluded spot when we weren't out on the town. The ryokan itself is surrounded by various galleries and a few cafes, although it was in a very sleepy part of Yufuin and was devoid of many tourists. This included several that were owned and/or operated by Sanso Murata itself, including Allegro and a Soba noodle restaurant, both that are within a short walking distance from the ryokan entrance. Both the property grounds as well as the immediate vicinity is not particularly picturesque. It's a serene and calming place, but it's neither immaculately manicured nor does it have much character. Rather than exuding luxury in an awe-inspiring way, Sanso Murata makes up for it in its indoor charms. It's neither traditional Japanese nor is it ultra modern, but somewhere in between. However, it does not feel outdated, because it's well maintained and the decor is more by design than a function of its age. Both the ”Hou” and ”Sou” rooms were generously proportioned (155m² and 130m², respectively), and were Maisonette-style, with the bedroom (with two Western style beds as well as one of the two toilets) on the upper floor and the Western living/dining room, a separate Japanese tatami room and the main bathroom, shower room and Onsen bath all on the ground floor. It was tastefully decorated, and with the option to spend time in either the Japanese or Western living rooms, it offers something for everyone's tastes. The Western living room furnishings don't scream ”high end,” but was functional and more than served its purpose. The Onsen (natural hot springs) bath in the room is of the semi open-air variety in that it's technically indoors, but you can slide open the glass doors if you choose to be exposed (somewhat) to the elements. This was a nice option to have, because it was relatively warm when we were there, so it was good have a a breeze flow in from the outside while enjoying the Onsen. So far, so... decent, right? The key to Sanso
