The food is amazing, it is basically Michelin stars standard and I have been to a few Michelin stars restaurant. Beside the quality, there were variety and creativity instead of the typical Ryokan's food. If anything I will be back for the food.
I booked a 61sqm room, yet the bedroom space is rather small. Lots of wasted space in the foyer area which cant really be used. It came with a private onsen so taking up lots of bath room space. They painted the ceiling black and the wall is dark wood, so the room is dark all the time, there isn't enough lights from the outside to brighten up the room. Internal lighting is also bear minimum. Gave a gloomy depressing feel to it. If not because of the food, I don't think I want to be back.

Food and service at meals were good. My room though small was clean.
We wanted to check in before 3pm but was told prior to our trip that check in was only at 3pm. We had just flown into Fukuoka that morning and drove to Yufuin before checking in. We had lunch at Yunotsubo Street, walked around after lunch, did some shopping and found ourselves done at about 2.20pm. We decided to drive to the accommodation which was about 10 mins away to try to see if we could check in. We were told we could not. I asked if we could wait in the dining area which was unoccupied and tucked away from the reception area. Our request was turned down flatly and we were told to come in 5 mins before 3pm. We had no choice but wait in the car. Other than being inflexible, I found the scale of the accommodation to be small with hardly any garden nor grounds to walk around. Use of the public onsen required booking and additional payment is required. It is hard to reach the accommodation if one does not drive although I understand a shuttle service may be available.

The staff people were friendly, and the food was so yummy. We enjoyed our stay here, especially the hot spring where we could see the mountain from the bathtub.
The bathtub was a bit crowded for two adults. However, the atmosphere overall was good.

It was so quiet and comfortable.
I like the auto cover of the toilet bowl that I don’t have to open it whenever I use it.
The service of the property was excellent. It was so appealing that a delegated staff to specially serve every room guests. Kin who was delegated to help us in our stay, is a very nice guy and helpful too.
There was no hand soap in the toilet of my room and it was far away from the onsen that it was not so convenient.
9.0
We love the onsen that was in the room, it was so nice to be able to soak in the onsen with the great view in the morning and also when you come back from the shopping at the end of the day.
Location is fine if you drive. The staffs were very nice to help us with the luggages up the stairs when we arrived.
The dinner took a bit too long to serve. Took two hours to finish dinner. It felt like a formal dinner.
Room size was a bit small though.
9.0
The view is wonderful. You can see the mountain while soaking in the onsen in room. Room size is good and TV has YouTube channel. The staff speaks good English too. I reached Yufuin station at 4.50pm and wanted to take a taxi to the hotel. However there were so few taxi there. I called the hotel and they are so kind to send a transport to pick us up although I have missed the scheduled shuttle service time. Dinner and breakfast plan is good although it will be nice if there were more sashimi and beef.
We found the toilet roll a little dirty so we feedback to the hotel. Housekeeping should pay a little more attention to that. Not a big issue though as there is an extra new roll for you to change. Hotel is a little far from station. Not possible to walk up.

It is a hotel where the staff cannot communicate in English. and speak unintelligible At first it was stated that the hotel van provided pick-up service from Yufuin Station only upon check-in. with check-out date But on the day of check-in there was no service to pick up. You have to take a taxi yourself. On the day of our return trip, they said that we should walk from the hotel to the train station ourselves, it would only take 15 minutes because the van was busy. Even though they informed us from the day of check-in that they would be sent 2 times because our group was traveling with 10 people, when the other groups checked out there was a porter for the luggage. Ready to wave goodbye But for the group, we had to do everything ourselves. The employees don't care at all. In conclusion, if you are Thai Don't stay here Because you will receive services different from other countries.

Good food, good atmosphere
The staff here have terrible service. Even when eating, I asked for water to be refilled and was told to go and refill it myself. But at other tables, you serve them.

The property has the best scenery and it’s a traditional Japanese architecture which allows my family to enjoy the views.
The onsen is little a bit too high for the elderly, but it’s still rocks.

Just a perfect stay! The private bath really was as beautiful as the pictures, the bed was comfortable and the staff were so kind. I was truly blown away by my stay and I'd recommend it to anyone who'd listen.
I would've perhaps liked a pair of "outdoor slippers" to stand on the balcony and enjoy the sunset.

The staff are very attentive and the room was very spacious, comfortable and tastefully designed. The beds and pillows were comfortable too (quite rare in our experience in Japan) The views from the private onsen across town and to the surrounding hills are great.
The onsen on the balcony is partially screened, but we were a little concerned that neighbouring properties may be able to partially view this area. Also, there was a bit of a misunderstanding about room service. We were asked upon arrival whether we wanted a full room service the next morning which included changing the beds etc, or a change of towels. We thought it was a little excessive to change the beds with us only staying two nights (perhaps the misunderstanding part) and so opted for change of towels, expecting that the room would at least be partially made up, bins emptied etc, but this didn't happen. We were a bit disappointed given the price of the room that this was not automatically offered, as it is with most other hotels. Finally, although the areas you definitely need to be clean were spotless, some of the cupboards / shelves were dusty. Minor complaints however as overall, we were happy with our stay.
