Top Kuju Highlands Observatory Hotel Reviews

Fairfield By Marriott Kumamoto Aso

10/10 Excellent

"Great location with good room sizes. Only down side is no food on premise but they have microwaves, ovens/toasters, free coffee and tea and a big lounge/eating area. Parking is free but does fill up by the evening so be mindful of that if planning on arriving late."

Ryokan Hachisunoito

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely, peaceful place to stay in Yufuin, a bit outside the bustle of town but easy walking distance from the train station. The hotel is nice, the staff are very gracious, the meals were excellent, and the baths (3!) are wonderful. Highly recommended!"

Nihon No Ashitaba

10/10 Excellent

"Everything is perfect."

Kamenoi Hotel Aso

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time at the hotel. It is very quiet and the location is amazing. We really enjoyed the buffet dinner and breakfast and the onsen was a great way to start and end the day! Our room was spacious (twin beds) with a great view of the mountain. We will definitely come back if we ever come back in the area. We even considered extending our stay but couldn’t because of other plans. Highly recommended for a relaxing time."

Kamenoi Hotel Aso Park Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Family friendly . Buffet dinner was delicious and wide spread . Staff were friendly and patience"

Yufuin Hoteiya

10/10 Excellent

"I felt very much at home and well taken care of. Hotel had everything we needed, really enjoyed our private outdoor bath. Food was delicious. Easy access with free parking. Short walk to main shopping street"

Kurokawa, Mori no Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful cabin, but it lack chairs. It did have floor cushions which is typical in Japan"

Rakuten STAY VILLA Yufuin Onsen

10/10 Excellent

"Fully remote/self service. Check in was through a screen. Love the property and amenities. Wish our stay was longer"

Kurokawa Onsen Ryokan Wakaba

8/10 Good

"Liked: Large rooms Did not like: Rigid dining schedule. Food, while plentiful and tasty, was served at a fast pace as the time available for dinner is limited. Private onsen not worthwhile -- water very hot and space cramped. No after dinner option to socialize. Bar very limited and closes (hard close) at 9 pm. Upon asking what people do in the evening we were told-- Onsen (bathe)! It is not everyone's preference to take a hot bath after dinner."
