Top Ota Onsen Hotel Reviews

Yufuin Onsen Toshoan

10/10 Excellent

"Boutique bed and breakfast type facility. Had a wonderful time at the hotel. Please keep in mind is a small cozy hotel. There isn't too much amenities but staff was great with what they offer. If you are looking for a nice place to relax with a beautiful mountain backdrop this is the place to be."

Makibanoie

8/10 Good

"A nice onsen - the public baths are really nice. Don’t bother with private bath as u need to fill up your tub. The bkfast and dinner were delicious and wide varieties. The room are spacious. The only complaint is our room has no bathing facilities- we had to use the public baths to shower! Not so convenient but thanks goodness our room is next to one of the baths."

Kamenoi Hotel Aso

10/10 Excellent

"Kamenoi is a large resort that offers great breakfast and dinner, large indoor and outdoor baths, friendly staff"

Kamenoi Hotel Aso Park Resort

Nihon No Ashitaba

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about our stay was wonderful — the beautiful scenery, the exceptional kaiseki dinner and breakfast , the warm and attentive staff, and such a comfortable, restful sleep. Our kids absolutely loved it, and we’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!"

Rakuten STAY VILLA Yufuin Onsen

10/10 Excellent

"Fully remote/self service. Check in was through a screen. Love the property and amenities. Wish our stay was longer"

Kurokawa Onsen Ryokan Wakaba

8/10 Good

"Liked: Large rooms Did not like: Rigid dining schedule. Food, while plentiful and tasty, was served at a fast pace as the time available for dinner is limited. Private onsen not worthwhile -- water very hot and space cramped. No after dinner option to socialize. Bar very limited and closes (hard close) at 9 pm. Upon asking what people do in the evening we were told-- Onsen (bathe)! It is not everyone's preference to take a hot bath after dinner."
