9,3/10 Exceptional - Based on 924 reviews

Nestled in the picturesque town of Yufu, the Yawaragi-no-Sato Yadoya residence evokes a discreet serenity blending Japanese tradition and contemporary comfort. This ryokan in Yufu stands out for its hot spring baths, accessible in both public and private spaces, offering a soothing escape under the sky of Oita Prefecture. The calming atmosphere is complemented by a welcoming library and spaces designed for a harmonious stay, including a souvenir shop to extend this unique experience.

True to the authenticity of traditional accommodations, the rooms warmly welcome guests in subtle and neutral decor. Options range from the intimacy of exclusively tatami spaces to more modern configurations combining beds and futons. All rooms are carefully arranged with details such as air conditioning, a private bathroom, and a soothing view of the surroundings. Their versatile comfort makes them a suitable refuge for both couples and families traveling together.

To awaken the senses, the ryokan’s restaurant offers refined dishes, where Bungo beef, a local specialty, takes pride of place among Japanese flavors. This culinary venue, steeped in tradition, admirably complements an authentic stay. Moreover, the unparalleled location allows for exploration of enchanting nearby restaurants, like a stroll to the nearby Lake Kinrin, adding a gastronomic and cultural touch to each visit.


Japanese Authenticity Evaluation

7/10 Many details reminiscent of Japanese traditions, such as pleasant baths and room ambiance respecting the local style, but some modern elements and culinary fusion slightly limit total authenticity. However, this ryokan offers a good balance between modern comfort and regional tradition.
