I had an amazing time at Ryokan Yufuin Tsubaki. I booked the half-board stay at Tsubaki using Expedia and the staff at Tsubaki was in contact with me almost immediately to confirm the details and finalize the pick up time from Yufuin Station. Note that as a fan of walking, even Tsubaki's location is a bit far from the Yufuin Station so once the staff picks you up at the train station to take you back to the ryokan (around 3pm), you will likely end up spending the rest of your time at the ryokan before leaving the next morning around 10am (unless you have your own car). I stayed in the Butterfly room which is beautiful! Tsubaki is a small little ryokan with a collection of 7 different "rooms/mini villas". My room was technically a one bedroom suite that had a direct view of Mt Yufu both on the first floor (where your living room and bedroom and toilet is located) and the "basement" floor where the bathroom (sink/mirror/dressing area) and separate private onsen bath/shower area is located. It was very sizeable and the rooms were in Japanese style (tatami mats, sliding doors, kotatsu chairs, etc) while the beds were elevated Western beds. The food was glorious! Half-board stays means that breakfast and dinner is provided. Both were a pseudo-kaiseki style with Western influences and I was stuffed! Highly recommend the stay!

Great place with great service!!!

Best service by the owner of the property. The owner was hands on from the check in up to our check out time. I would most definitely recommend this place. One suggestion is to improve on the pillow selection - I had to use the spare comforter as my pillow since the one they provide is a bit too hard but other that everything was superb!

部屋風呂非常好，只是木盆有點漬。 奇怪的是酒店沒有修改到寄給住客的信息， 雖然原本的房格只包括房間的價格。 因此都覺得沒問題。 不過在入住前收到酒店的信息說：'房價已包括早，晚餐的提供。' 我們滿心期待，結果當然是早、晚餐都沒有提供。並且，被告之廚房已經暫時停用及關閉了。 因此，請不要相信酒店的預設信息。

체크인 시간보다 일찍 갔는데 바로 방 배정해서 안내해주셨고 제일 큰방으로 업그레이드 해주셨어요. 사장님이 정말 친절하시고 아이들에게도 잘해주셨어요. 가이세키는 정말 파인다이닝 느낌이고 특히 와규가 최고였어요! 방이 정말 넓어서 아이들이 뛰놀고 원없이 숨바꼭질했어요. 아침도 정갈하고 맛있었고 서비스가 더이상 좋을수 없다고 생각합니다 감사합니다^^♡
