Nagayu Hot Spring

Yufuin Gems was the perfect choice for my short stay. Located one block from the train station and just a few doors from the bus station, logistics were extremely simple. It’s also .6 km from the West trailhead for Mount Yufu, the reason for my trip. Walking through Yufuin from the hotel is an ease. The room was very large, extremely clean. The bath was a shower and a huge comfy soaking tub, which was handy after my nine mile hike. Downstairs the check-in desk also serves as a really cute cafe/bar staffed by the nicest and most helpful workers. If I ever travel to Yufuin again, I’ll stay at Gems!

This was a nice amount of space for the living, dining, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. We were able to do a load of laundry and also relax on the comfortable couch to watch some TV on the large projection. Good location to walk to several sites and catch public transportation. Staff were helpful when we had questions.
