Noya Vacations from $1,229

Yufuin Gems was the perfect choice for my short stay. Located one block from the train station and just a few doors from the bus station, logistics were extremely simple. It’s also .6 km from the West trailhead for Mount Yufu, the reason for my trip. Walking through Yufuin from the hotel is an ease. The room was very large, extremely clean. The bath was a shower and a huge comfy soaking tub, which was handy after my nine mile hike. Downstairs the check-in desk also serves as a really cute cafe/bar staffed by the nicest and most helpful workers. If I ever travel to Yufuin again, I’ll stay at Gems!

The property is managed by a management company, and unfortunately, we did not feel very welcome during our stay, as there were several restrictions on the use of certain amenities. This created an uncomfortable atmosphere. The most disappointing aspect was the limited provision of essential items. For example, as a group of 11 staying for four nights, we were only provided with two rolls of toilet tissue per toilet (there are two toilets in the property), and no additional garbage bags were supplied. The host advised us to purchase these items ourselves if needed. I did not expect to have to buy basic necessities like toilet tissue while traveling, but this was the case during our stay.

施設内の温泉の有無を事前に質問したが回答は無しと返答されたが現地には温泉が使える設備があった。

Just overall very old not so clean. Food is less than average. Very over priced. Paid over $500 a night and it is worth $200-$300 at the most. Avoid this place.

Overall the stay was great! Great view and wonderful hot spring bath where you don’t feel cramp and can stretch your legs if you’re tall or have long legs.
