Tucked into Yufu’s Yufuin Onsen district, steps from Kinrin Lake and the Kyushu Yufuin Folk Village. Minutes from Yufuin Retro Motor Museum and a short drive to Kijima Kogen Park and Aso Kuju National Park — a strong base for onsen trips and local sightseeing.

Soak in hot springs and unwind at the spa, or ping-pong in the games area and browse the small library. Family-friendly extras include a children’s playroom; there’s also on-site shopping, vending machines and a garden to take in between outings.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property, free self parking, luggage storage and complimentary newspapers in the lobby; front desk is staffed during limited hours.
