This is a beautiful property located just outside of the town of Yufuin. The service was great and the food was wonderful. We enjoyed soaking in the outdoor spa while viewing the scenery around us. The hotel shuttle from the train station was not very convenient with only one small bus per hour and reservations required in advance. We opted to take a taxi which was under US$10 and very easy. We stayed two nights and spent much of the middle day walking around the town. Highly recommend.

Breakfast was delicious l but dinner was just ok only. However, we were too full to try the sake and rice crackers. The hand made course of lucky chain is interesting. Average experience is fantastic, especially the view, spring and the sky was full of the stars yesterday. One more thing is the bed is extraordinary comfortable.

Amazing family getaway

Amazing property and service. Although rather costly, the sumptuous breakfast and dinner which were both included, made it excellent value for money. The best place to stay if visiting Yufuin for a couple of days.

Best resort ever with amazing staff

It was my first time at a Hoshio Resort and i was so amazed and I can't give you enough stars! Resort itself was super zen and amazing. It was perfect place to relax and enjoy Japanese bath, food, and massage. Staff was also beyond the moon! We had to put on snowchains on our way out because it was snowing and we were struggling when staff (Kuroiwa) came out and helped us with the hard work. Thank you so much again.

Be pampered

Service was impeccable from the moment we arrived till we reluctantly bid it farewell. In between, we were treated to serene views of the fields, soothing baths, comfortable bed and visually appealing and delicious dishes at dinner and breakfast.

I stayed for two nights. Everything was excellent such as ambience, view, food. One thing that needs improvement was that the staffs need to know how to introduce the food. I’m allergic to taro and there was one dish with different food. The menu said one of them contained taro but I couldn’t tell which one has taro so I asked the staff and the staff pointed to the wrong one and I only noticed when I almost took it. Otherwise the stay was excellent
