The hotel is a bit further away from the centre of Yufuin but it is less than 10 mins taxi ride from the station. The hotel is clean, beautiful and serves good food with generous portion. It would be better if the food can be served less in a rush but the pace was still acceptable - after all we could stay in the room to enjoy the onsen after dinner! Service was attentive and staff spoke good English. The scenery from the room was very nice with mountain view, especially in the Autumn season where you can see different shades of colours. Recommended for travellers who want to stay in a quieter part of Yufuin :)

Thanks to your kindness and help, we were able to catch our flight on time. Our hosts helped us find our route and book train tickets to secure a 'tight' flight departure time. He even took us to the train station so we could buy tickets. Additionally, this ryokan is located in a quiet and secluded location about 5 minutes from Yufuin Station. (The host provides pick-up service) I recommend enjoying the streets of Yufuin first and then enjoying a peaceful rest at this ryokan with a delicious kaiseki dinner!

I had an amazing time at Ryokan Yufuin Tsubaki. I booked the half-board stay at Tsubaki using Expedia and the staff at Tsubaki was in contact with me almost immediately to confirm the details and finalize the pick up time from Yufuin Station. Note that as a fan of walking, even Tsubaki's location is a bit far from the Yufuin Station so once the staff picks you up at the train station to take you back to the ryokan (around 3pm), you will likely end up spending the rest of your time at the ryokan before leaving the next morning around 10am (unless you have your own car). I stayed in the Butterfly room which is beautiful! Tsubaki is a small little ryokan with a collection of 7 different "rooms/mini villas". My room was technically a one bedroom suite that had a direct view of Mt Yufu both on the first floor (where your living room and bedroom and toilet is located) and the "basement" floor where the bathroom (sink/mirror/dressing area) and separate private onsen bath/shower area is located. It was very sizeable and the rooms were in Japanese style (tatami mats, sliding doors, kotatsu chairs, etc) while the beds were elevated Western beds. The food was glorious! Half-board stays means that breakfast and dinner is provided. Both were a pseudo-kaiseki style with Western influences and I was stuffed! Highly recommend the stay!

部屋風呂非常好，只是木盆有點漬。 奇怪的是酒店沒有修改到寄給住客的信息， 雖然原本的房格只包括房間的價格。 因此都覺得沒問題。 不過在入住前收到酒店的信息說：'房價已包括早，晚餐的提供。' 我們滿心期待，結果當然是早、晚餐都沒有提供。並且，被告之廚房已經暫時停用及關閉了。 因此，請不要相信酒店的預設信息。

한국인 솔직한 100% 후기

과장이나 축소없이 평가를 남깁니다. 일단 매니저님이 영어가 되시고 매우 친절 하십니다. 산의 풍경이 보이는 실내 개인온천은 야외가 아니란점이 조금아쉽지만 커플이 이용할수있는 크기에 아담합니다. 여름이지만 밤엔 에어컨을 끄고 모든 모기장 창문이되어있는 창문을 열고 시원하게 잘 잤습니다. 문제점은 매니저님께 정중히 말씀드렸지만 매우오래된 에어컨이 과장하지않고 10년정도 청소가 되지 않았던것 같습니다. 먼지가 과장없이 5mm 이상 쌓여 풍속이 나오지 않을정도였습니다. 또한 조금 아쉬운점은, 냄새가 나지않는 한국 진공포장된 초장과 볶음김치를 석식때 먹으려했지만, 냄새가 나는 외부음식은 일절 안된다 하여, 포장지 조차 뜯지 못하였습니다. 좋은 재료에 좋은 음식은 맞습니다만, 한국인의 입맛엔 매우 느끼할수 있습니다. 초고추장이나 볶음캔김치도 허용이 안되는점은 아쉬웠고. 특히 에어컨 먼지는 충격적이였습니다. 이외의 스탭분들의 친절이나 진행은 상당히 친절하였습니다.
