Yufuin Ryoan Wazanhou  

On Kyushu’s spa circuit in Yufuin (Yufu), this ryokan sits near Kinrin Lake and a cluster of quirky museums. A short drive puts you at Aso Kuju National Park, Yufuin Motorcycle Museum and the Yufuin Retro Motor and Trick Art spots—perfect for onsen-and-explore stays.

This intimate ryokan/guest house offers just a dozen rooms with minibars and LCD TVs. Rooms feature partially open bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and separate showers, plus safes and desks. Expect a blend of traditional onsen charm and modern comforts, a terrace and garden for slow afternoons, a library and a massage room for easy unwinding.

Soak in hot springs and deep bathtub comforts, browse the gift shop/newsstand, and let the tour desk book local excursions. Complimentary Wi‑Fi and free self parking keep logistics easy, and the property offers a train-station drop-off service and on-site massage for extra convenience.

24-hour front desk, luggage storage, complimentary newspapers in the lobby and a safe-deposit box at the front desk. Complimentary wireless internet is provided throughout the property.

An on-site restaurant, Chisou An, serves guests — simple, satisfying meals to fuel your Yufuin adventures.
