If you like Cat’s and Onsen’s then this is the place for you. The onsen is nice and private for you to relax in with no worries either indoor or outdoor. All the cats are so adorable. The staff are so kind and accommodating. Want to come back soon. Highly recommend :)

Cat people reunite!

Where can I start? B&B and cat cafe and hot spring all in one? I was truly in heaven. Cats and owners are true winners. Away from main traffic, stores and restaurants. All I heard was local train goes by every hour or so. Cute sweets and well balanced breakfast. I really didn't want to leave.

Prefect for all cat-lovers! Wonderful services, foods, facilities, onsen, environment, cats and staff. It’s the warmest and best ryokan i have ever stayed. If i visit Yufu again, i must stay there for few more days to visit the cats and staff and to enjoy every moment again.

民宿主人很有禮貌、民宿以貓做主題、有貓房可以和貓貓玩樂。房間整潔舒適但房內只有洗手間，沒有浴室，如洗澡需要去溫泉。早餐好吃，需額外加購。

너무 좋았어요. 다음에도 갈 수 있다면 장기간 숙박하고 싶습니다. 고양이들은 정말 최고였습니다. (비록 고양이들은 저를 안 좋아했지만, 보는걸로도 행복했습니다.)

Very nice owners, clean structure with private onsens. It's a bit outside Yufuin so it's very recommended if you have a car. Nice room, a bit expensive compared to a similar structure. You will appreciate many aspects of the structure if you're a cat lover.
