Staff was friendly and went above and beyond. The private baths were nice and a good way to relax and unwind. The free shuttle from Yufuin station was convenient. The food was great - lots of variety to try. I liked the Kabosu cocktail - highly recommend as an add-on.

We had a wonderful stay at Yufuin Hoteiya. The check-in was very warm and welcoming, especially thanks to Oda-san. We loved our private onsen, and both the kaiseki dinner and breakfast were outstanding. One of the highlights was making popcorn in the hearth (Yoppite) room—such a fun and memorable touch. Service throughout our stay was impeccable, including the convenient drop-off service provided by the staff. The location is also excellent: an easy walk from Yufuin Station, with lots of charming shops along the way, and just a short stroll to Lake Kinrin. We truly enjoyed our time here and hope to come back again.

I liked that the location is away from the busy are, yet close enough. Good English support. We went up the hill and explored, which I would recomment if you want to get away from the crowd. Just a few good quality shops and art galleries, and restaurants up the hill.

It was generally good that you can enjoy a traditional Japanese style of stay. But it was bit cold at night time that requires extra heater to use.

I loved the onsen options in Hoteiya. All the shared onsens are private and has different layouts for you to experience. The onsens in the room are also the perfect size and temperature. Huge kudos to the staff for being super attentive and providing detailed explanation of the property and for providing the right size clothing. Absolutely would return if I ever came back to Kyushu.

We enjoyed our stay at Hoteiya. The staff were kind, knowledgeable, and very attentive. There was a shuttle to and from the Yufuin JR station that was an easy phone call to arrange. The facilities were sparkling clean. We liked the different bathing areas. We didn't have dinner but we loved the breakfasts, which were different every day. The town of Yufuin is breathtaking. It has interesting tourist destinations and good food. Aside from spending time in the onsen, our favorite part of this trip was visiting neighboring Beppu, which was easy to access via the bus stop in front of the resort. Altogether, we had an amazing time and hope to return someday.

Best honeymoon stay

This was one of the best experiences from our honeymoon. The staff was so nice and accommodating. Most staff spoke fluent English and were helpful in getting us a taxi and helping us with anything else we needed. Breakfast was traditional and incredible. I would recommend to anyone to stay here!

Just book it!

We stayed at Hoteiya to celebrate my grandmother’s birthday, and it was our best experience yet! I am so thankful that we were able to stay in this ryokan. Four generations, from my 2-year-old daughter to my grandmother in her 90s, still talk about how wonderful our stay at the ryokan was, and of course, all other family members loved it too. We stayed in the Fuji room, which was spacious, extremely clean, and very well-maintained. Both the indoor and outdoor hot springs were amazing. Outdoor one is definitely enough for 4 people. Everyone who worked there was top-notch and friendly. We love traveling in many countries, but I have never met this super friendly receptionist ever in my life!(She has short hair) I had seen some negative reviews about their kaiseki, but after experiencing it, I felt that it was a huge waste of my time. Each course was super tasty and extremely fresh, with a wide variety, and the portion sizes were perfect, even for my husband. Everyone was so impressed with the food. If we visit again, we will definitely stay for more than one night and, obviously, go back to Hoteiya.
