"It was the perfect gateway into our Ryokan/onsen experience with beautiful & spacious accommodations in a super private and relaxing setting. Having our own onsen with view of the mountains was an absolute dream after a week in the big cities. The attentive staff were exceptional and brought dinner to our room that we cooked over the coals for a unique experience. Overall an incredible retreat to come back to after a busy day of onsen hopping. Truly a first class experience!"

Top Yamakawa Onsen Hotel Reviews

Ryokan Hachisunoito

10/10 Excellent

"We loved staying at the Ryokan Hachisunoito. It is a 7-10 minute walk from the JR Yufu station. Ryokan was recently renovated in a traditional Japanese style mixed with Western touches. The staff was friendly, welcoming, caring and helpful. Rajesh checked us in and made sure that we enjoyed our breakfast and dinner on all three days of our stay. He was also instrumental in making sure our bags were shipped to our next hotel in a timely manner. The Western-style breakfast and Japanese-style dinner were excellent. The Sake served was also of good quality. The private Onsen experience was amazing. We can’t wait to return to Yufuin and stay at the Ryokan Hachisunoito."

Yufuin Yawaraginosato Yadoya

10/10 Excellent

I really would go back to stay in this hote in the near future. I got the happiness of enjoying real Japanese food, taste, culture, I felt."

Kamenoi Hotel Aso

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time at the hotel. It is very quiet and the location is amazing. We really enjoyed the buffet dinner and breakfast and the onsen was a great way to start and end the day! Our room was spacious (twin beds) with a great view of the mountain. We will definitely come back if we ever come back in the area. We even considered extending our stay but couldn’t because of other plans. Highly recommended for a relaxing time."

Yusai Bekkan

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and spacious traditional style room. Toilet was somehow a bit too small though, not particularly comfortable to use. Basin (for hand washing after using toilet) was then on the other side of the room which was a bit inconvenient. Hot spring facilities were at a different building (much newer and modern) which were 2 mins walk away. That was a slight problem when it was raining heavily when we were there. Parking was not great for our bigger car (RAV4 size type SUV). Tight space and lot of guests made parking very difficult. During golden week, when we stayed there, dining options at night were very limited in nearby regions."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Yamakawa Onsen?

The best area to stay in Yamakawa Onsen is within the small, central cluster of ryokans and guesthouses that make up the main onsen village.

This compact village is located in a valley, surrounded by natural beauty, and is entirely focused on its hot springs. You'll find the ryokans, public baths, and a few local eateries concentrated along the main road that winds through the valley. It's a place where relaxation is paramount, with the soothing sounds of nature as your backdrop.

Couples seeking a tranquil and intimate escape will find this area ideal. The focus here is on unwinding, enjoying private onsen baths, and savoring traditional kaiseki meals. The serene environment and the opportunity to disconnect make it a great romantic retreat.

Autumn provides comfortable, cooler weather and stunning fall foliage, especially from late October to mid-November. The crisp air is superb for enjoying the outdoor onsen experiences, and the vibrant reds and golds of the leaves create a picturesque backdrop. Travelers who appreciate scenic drives and photography will find this season particularly rewarding.
