Onyado Yufunoshou

A two-night trip to Kyushu. We stayed in Beppu the first night, and booked this Accommodation in Yufuin for the second night. Based on Reviews and other information, we chose Yufunoshou from several highly rated Accommodations. The meals are handled by the head chef alone, and the staff moved efficiently; thanks to their perfect timing, we were able to enjoy hot dishes while they were still hot. The standout was the sesame tofu—so delicious that I honestly wondered which was better: this one or the sesame tofu made by my aunt (a temple wife) over my 65 years of life. It was so exceptional I wanted to take some home as a souvenir.As for the baths, not only was the rock bath in our Room wonderful, but we also used two private open-air baths—both with excellent water quality. After dinner we used “Milky Way,” and while soaking in the reclining bath and looking up at the night sky, I was moved by how beautiful the stars were.The service from check-in to check-out was flawless. In particular, at check-out I was surprised when I was asked to pay for our stay. When I mentioned that I had made an Online Credit Card Payment, they said it had not been processed; when I checked my Reservation status myself, it indeed showed unpaid. They asked us to pay once on-site and kindly explained that if IKYU.com later also charged us and it became a double charge, they would issue a refund if we contacted them. Their response felt fair and reassuring, so we left calmly.We received hospitality well worth the price of our stay.

If I were to stay in Yufuin again, this accommodation would definitely be my choice. I visited with my family, and the atmosphere of the facility, the meals, and the staff's thoughtful hospitality left a particularly strong impression. The room was simple and not luxurious but had a warm, home-like feel that made it very relaxing. During our stay, it was cold outside, but they kindly provided gas heating in the dressing area to keep us warm. The food was also very delicious and satisfying. The charcoal-grilled chicken was the most delicious dish!
