Yufuin Onsen Oyado Hananoyu

Tucked into Yufu’s Yufuin Onsen, this intimate ryokan sits steps from Aso Kuju National Park and a short drive from the Norman Rockwell Yufuin Museum. Kinrin Lake, Yufuin Trick Art Meikyukan and the Yufuin Retro Motor Museum are all nearby, and Oita Airport is about 55 km away.

Only four air-conditioned rooms keep things private and calm. Rooms include refrigerators, microwaves and flat-screen TVs, plus private bathrooms with separate bathtubs and showers, complimentary toiletries, hair dryers and bathrobes. Daily housekeeping and garden views add easy comfort with a local ryokan vibe.

Soak in on-site hot springs and wander the garden—classic Yufuin onsen energy. Small-scale and serene, it’s a place to wake up to crisp mountain air near Aso Kuju.

Complimentary wireless internet is available on the property, and free self parking is provided onsite.
