This place is in a quiet area in Yufuin. Open fields and mountains in the background give you an amazing view from your room for sunsets, or sunrises. The staff are friendly, helpful, and welcoming. This is secluded enough to enjoy a quiet stay, but still be close enough to drive to Beppu and Oita to enjoy the city attractions.

t and path but close enough to walk. Yufuin is an awesome place to visit. Sansou Tanaka is personable small and quaint. It is perfect for couples. The price is reasonable and definitely make sure you include the breakfast.

Quaint ryokan for a good romantic stay.
Location is slightly off from the main stretch but it would be great if you drive. Love the quiet area and how the whole ryokan is preserved so well and clean! It exceeded my expectations of the stay!

Fantastic Japanese Old Fashion Stay
Basically it's really great: Japanese taste, Good hot spring, informative front desk, and so on. While the WiFi speed was a little bit slow, and it's a little bit far from the city central and station. Yufu here is actually a countryside so most of the shops and restaurants are closed after 5 p.m.

Best place to see Yufu mountain top
Truly amazing! It offers perfect orientalist views from both inside and outside. You can see Yufu mountain top from the little Japanese garden outside the main entrance. The breakfast is a germ too.

Quiet and peaceful location
The hotel is located in a quiet area but just a 10 minute walk to the train station and the shopping area. Our room had a nice mountain view. The hotel has 3 private onsens which are used for shower as well.
