Beautiful, modern, very tastefully decorated property. The front desk attendee was very hospitable, a warm welcome to our first time in Yufuin! Gems is a minute walk from the station / bus stop, and is located centrally to Yufuin town. The walk to Kinrin lake was beautiful, with views of the mountain on the street. The room we booked was incredibly spacious, and although designed for 4, did not feel too empty for 2. The bathroom is so well done and so clean, with a huge bath tub that just invites a private soak. We would stay again next time!
Beautiful view of Mt Yufuin from Yufuin station. Gems, as you can see, is just on the left.
Large bathroom. Beautifully clean. 10/10

Such a great stay. The location is near to both the bus station and the train station. The room is very well equipped and clean. There is also a lounge where you can hang out during the stay. Check in staff was so nice and got us a room upgrade. Would definitely be back here when we visit Yufuin again

After paying an absurd amount for one night, they charged an additional fee to store my bag for an hour. Ludicrous. I stay in hotels 50-60 nights per year for almost 30 years and I’ve never paid a fee for that service. Ludicrous. The food was mediocre at best. The staff was friendly enough but not empowered to waive the ridiculous bag fee.

Great location and it’s super clean!

Really did not expect much coming into it. Originally we booked a onsen place which was old but big with 2 meals served. However, last minute changes, we ended up booking this place. I can only say it was such a nice surprise! Not only is the place clean, it is also very convenient!! This is literally a 2 minute walk from the train station. This is highly recommended for family traveling together. This place has hot spring as well!! What a neat and unique find!!

정말 넓고 깨끗해요~

유후인에 기차나 버스이용하신다면 완전 강추입니다~~ 터미널에서 완전 가깝고 1층 카페가 로비이고 호텔이라기보다 게스트하우스 느낌인데 거실이 있는 방이라 진짜 널찍하고 정말 깨끗해서 맘에 들었어요~ 세식구 앉아 보드게임을 즐길만큼 널찍한 테이블에 편한 소파까지 너무 만족스러웠네요~ 2층 침대의 적절한 구조덕에 세식구 한자리씩 편하게 잘수있었네요~ 무엇보다 깔끔하게 정리되있던 룸컨디션에 퇴실때 고마운인사를 아끼질 않았네요~ 뒷편으로 편의점도 가까이 있어서 매일 들렸네요ㅋ 너무 만족스러웠습니다~
