Small ryokan at the top area of Yufuin city

Around 10+ rooms and far from the centre of the main area. The location is inconvenient but the view of landscape is fantastic. Recommend drive toward, but beware of difficulty of narrow and steep lane.

Everything about staying here was great! I only speak English and Korean and the staff were extremely helpful and accommodating! Especially the manager at the front desk. I got to meet and have simple conversations with the staff. Even the ones that only speak Japanese. They were all friendly and kind regardless of language barriers. The bathrooms, bedrooms, and onsen were very clean and comfortable. The meals were delicious and well timed. I will definitely be back and I am even thinking about coming back for my honeymoon!

10/10 Exceptional

The two of us stayed at ryokan Reimei at the end of March and we booked the reimei room with an open bath. We had the best experience ever. We could go in for a dip whenever we felt like it. The shower is on the outside with the open bath and the coldness of the weather wasn’t a problem for us since the water of the shower was quite warm and you jump into the onsen right after… (I see lots of comments complaining about that). Dinner/breakfast service time and shuttle bus leaving time was chosen at checkin, we could choose between the times that were convenient for us. The dinner and breakfast were not true kaiseki but it was still delicious and fulfilling. We also brought some pudding from downtown before going to our ryokan and I definitely recommend doing that as there’s no dessert component in the dinner kaiseki. This is not our first ryokan and having an open air bath definitely made the experience 10000 times better!!! We will definitely choose the same room again if we’re coming back to yufuin!!

Meh

The room looks very run-down and jam packed if travelling in a group of 4. Food quality would be best described as unimpressive considering how much we paid for this accommodation. Onsen is ok but definitely avoid the foot massage machine on 1/F, which was found full of dust and dead skins of other people. Ew!

I keep considering if I should reserve this hotel after reading some extreme bad comment. But after my one night stay at the western 2nd floor hotel room, I will definitely give a 5 star to this hotel. Clean: Quite clean, just facilities a little bit old, but still good Light: Good Food: Very good and full for half board Staff: very helpful, Help to take luggage after car arrival Onsen: Private onsen need to reserve, quite a good one; It needs to reserve earlier as I arrive late, and only one time slot left, nearly missed it. It would be good if the hotel can improve this, make sure each room can reserve at least one time slot at night Scenery: Extremely good view at the middle of the peak. Very quiet, wake up with mountain view, red leaves and bird singing while sunshine Transport: Need to drive and get there earlier to make sure the hill’s road is clean enough to find out the hotel as need to get through a small village road

Terrible experience

My stay was not good at all. In spite of reserving the best room (it was our honeymoon), there were couple of issues in our stay: 1. no water running in the bathroom (the plumbing system got frozen) - had to go to a shared bathroom 2. Dinner space was crowded and its half board meal didn’t even include miso soup or desert. Did not look like a ryokan 3. Staff in the restaurant was not friendly at all. All the ryokan I’ve been to would explain the menu but on this one they were would only serve it as if we were in a canteen 4. The worst was the shuttle service to the train station: the driver would drive like crazy and very aggressively. I’ve never seen such a drive before in Japan. It was even dangerous to the pedestrians and other cars around 5. In spite of all the issues in our room, they would not even offer a small “sorry note”, or a token of appreciation Overall, this has been the worst hotel I’ve ever been in Japan! Wouldn’t recommend it for anyone. It did not offer the Japanese omotenashi and it looked like being run by foreigners

2/10 Poor

If I could give this hotel zero stars, I would. This was by far the worst hotel experience I have had in all my years of travelling in Japan. The shower either had no water at all or only ice-cold water, and the water completely cut off while I was washing my hair. The room smelled disgusting and was clearly not cleaned properly. There was hair on the bed, the bathroom was dirty, the wallpaper was peeling, and the sink did not work properly. There were insects in the room, including a cockroach right next to the bed. The service was terrible from start to finish. There was no welcoming atmosphere whatsoever, and the staff did not offer any assistance with luggage despite the many stairs. The front desk was also not English-friendly. Communication was difficult, and we were spoken to in Chinese despite not requesting it. Overall, there was completely no customer service. The food was awful—dry, cold, and very disappointing. Not filling either. The family bath had clearly not been cleaned properly, as there was a used Band-Aid left behind by a previous guest, which was absolutely disgusting. The hot spring itself was dirty, had algae in it, and was not even hot. It certainly did not feel like a proper hot spring experience. The door to the room was extremely difficult to open, and the steep road leading to the hotel is unsuitable for large vehicles. Overall, the hotel was dirty, poorly maintained, overpriced, and offered an extremely disappointing experience.

한국인 직원 분이 계셔서 편하게 소통했어요. 료칸이 처음이라 체크인 시간이 정해져있는지 몰랐는데 살짝 늦게 픽업 요청드렸는데도 흔쾌히 답변주셨어요. 프라이빗 풀이 있는 방으로 예약했고 밥 먹고 자는 시간 빼고는 계속 탕에 들어가 있었던 거 같아요ㅎㅎ 물 온도도 적당하게 유지되고 있었고 물 자체가 좋아서 그런지 피부가 보들보들해졌어요. 가이세키 너무너무 잘 나옵니다. 그리고 긴린호수까지 걸어갈만한 거리여서 아침 산책 다녀오기도 좋았어요.

宿の手前の道は狭く急斜面。運転が苦手な方や初心者には厳しい。 荷物は部屋まで運んでくれない。重い荷物を持ち階段で上がるので高齢者と一緒では大変だった。 部屋は障子が破れテレビ台など埃だらけ。せんべいの食べかすまで落ちていた。埃がすごいのでアレルギーが出てしまい辛かった。 部屋風呂にも赤カビ？がすごい。 足が悪い高齢者と行くため部屋風呂がある特別室にしたのに色々残念。 特別室とは言えない様な部屋だった。 男性用風呂の脱衣所は狭く1人しか入れない。 リピートは無し。

車で訪れるには道幅が狭く、坂も急なため、運転にはやや苦労しました。夕食は美味しくいただけましたが、朝食は少し物足りなく感じました。スタッフの方々は研修中のように見受けられましたが、接客においてお客様への細やかな気配りがあまり感じられず、日本の温泉宿ならではの良さや行き届いたサービスが十分に発揮されていない印象を受けました。 また、お風呂が小さめだった点も残念でした。客室の暖房はあまり効いておらず、温泉内で楽しめるレクリエーションも少ないうえ、周囲には特に何もない環境のため、全体としてもう少し工夫や改善が必要だと感じました。 これまでさまざまな温泉宿に宿泊してきましたが、今回は支払った料金に見合う満足感が得られず、非常に残念でした。総合的に判断すると、残念ながらおすすめできません。
