Excellent choice for relaxation

The overall conditions of the hotel is very good including cleanliness, food,decoration and service. The only drawback is the hotel is a bit remote, it is inconvenient if you do not drive.

Loved the place. Recommend!!

A lovely and quiet place for relaxation. Staffs were very kind and courteous. Note - not a walking distance from Yufuin bus station. I would recommend walking Yunotsubo Street to Seven Eleven convenient store doing some site-seeing, shopping (and grocery shoppings) and take a taxi to the Ryokan. Taxi fare was about 700 yen each way.

I travelled Japan dozen times. It was the best experience that I did ever. Wonderful breakfast and dinner and Japaness modern style villa. I would like to say you must choose Kinmonco if you plan to travel Japan. Just one thing of my room condition was not good. Smells on the low floor.
