Top Kinrin Lake Hotel Reviews

Yufuin Ryokan Seikoen

10/10 Excellent

"We found this place the last minute after we decided to stay for overnight instead of making it a day-trip from Fukuoka. Absolute good decision! Everything is so good: room, staff, and the venue. Love it."

Oyado Ichizen

10/10 Excellent

"Small ryokan in the hills above Yufuin. Great Onsen. We stayed in the traditional Japanese room and it was very comfortable. It had a private Onsen that was incredible. The staff were friendly and helpful, and despite us not being from Japan or able to speak much Japanese, we never felt out of place or unwelcome. The breakfast was a traditional Japanese breakfast, amazing to see as well as eat. We only stayed 3 nights, but it was the most relaxing time of our 3 day visit."

Yufuin Kutsurogi no Yado Nanakawa

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful ryokan stay at Yufuin Kutsurogi no Yado Nanakawa. The location is very convenient, close to Yufuin Floral Village, quaint shops, and many restaurants. We enjoyed the half-board stay, and the food was sumptuous and beautifully prepared. The room was peaceful and comfortable, with a relaxing private onsen. A perfect place to slow down and enjoy the charm of Yufuin."

YUFUIN UBLHOTEL

10/10 Excellent

"Everything just great here. Rooms are clean and well maintained. Food are excellent. Onsen bath are phenomenal. Staff are helpful, welcoming and friendly. Strangely they don't give you any water in the hotel. You have to buy them either at vending machine or mini bar."

Japanese Onsen Ryokan Yufuin Tabinokura

10/10 Excellent

"Ok"

Yufuin Hoteiya

10/10 Excellent

"I can’t say enough good things about this place. It was relaxing and staff were friendly and welcoming. When I departed on April 9, I realized that I had forgotten my watch at the hotel. Upon calling the hotel, the front desk gentleman drove his motorbike to quickly return it to me at the station. I am beyond thankful for his hospitality and am very appreciative of his kind and quick response. He made our trip extra special."
