Great location, baths and overall stay!

The check-in process was very smooth from the moment we were greeted as our car pulled into the property. We were able to do some pre-check in as we arrived in the morning and allowed to park our cars there as we explored the town and shops. Upon check-in we were provided small gifts (including beautiful small drawstring bags for all the ladies). The room that our party stayed in was on the top floor. we were greeted with a large spacious tatami room with a super high celling. It was one main room with a Kotatsu table (table with a cover & heater underneath to keep those legs/toes warm). But with the table moved to the side of the room (still able to be used) there was plenty of space for 4 beds. Note that you have to set the beds yourself. Meals and the private family baths (which we booked ahead of time, for a 1 hour time slot) were in a separate building with a short walk outside (warm jackets for the Yukata were provided in the room). There was a short March the evening we were there so we enjoyed the onsen with snow gently coming down on us which was AMAZING. Family bath was a good size. There was actually a indoor bath and outdoor bath in the same "private area". Dinner and breakfast were in different buildings but both were beautifully and deliciously laid out meals. The morning breakfast we also had a beautiful snowy morning view which enhanced the whole experience. Short walk down to shopping street and town, also a coin laundry across the street! Great location!

Sugoi! (Fantastic)

Enjoyed our 2-night stay. Hospitality was excellent - all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was first class, private outdoor onsens were wonderful. We also had good fun playing ping pong in the game room, and the massage chairs were an added bonus. Great location too. We appreciate all the attention to details that made our stay memorable. Thank you to all the hard working staff!

The ryokan is a distance away from the station and some section of path to it is unlit, becareful when coming in winter where the sun sets earlier. Most stores also closes by 5:30pm so take note. That said, the staff are really friendly and accomodating, one of the staff, Sato, reached out to guide me on what to do and set the private onsen timings weeks before, great service throughout. The breakfast is also really good! I really enjoyed my stay!

Stayed overnight on a weekend trip to Yufuin. This accommodation is a gem of a place. The staff are very attentive and are present from check in to check out, whether arriving early to drop off your bags, in the restaurants or for the hot baths. They have private and public baths. The public baths are open all day 6am to 2 am, the private mornings and evenings just past midnight. You can book the private bath for your own party for 50 minutes. I had it all to myself. The breakfast and dinner are traditional Japanese and are delicious. Overall a great stay, highly recommended.

All the facilities in this hotel were very clean, operational, and fantastic to use. In particular, the staff in this hotel were absolutely amazing. They were the most friendly and welcoming people that we have ever met, especially the staff in the restaurants. The food served was very fresh and delicious as well. My room was very spacious and clean. There were superb private onsens in the hotel. It was very easy to communicate with the hotel staff in English. Would absolutely recommend for anyone visiting Yufuin.

I could have booked any other accommodation with an onsen but I’m so glad I chose Yadoya for its exceptional service and delectable kaiseki meals. The private outdoor onsens were beautiful with the backdrop of autumn foliage on Mt Yufu. Parking was plentiful. Our stay here was easily the highlight of our 2 week Kyushu roadtrip.
