Yufuin Onsen Toshoan

We received a very warm reception from the moment we arrived. The team helped us with our heavy bags down the stairs and patiently explained the details of our stay e.g. the meal times & housekeeping frequency. The lobby is not big but very cozy with all the wood furniture. The pictures you see are accurate. Our rooms were all on the second floor and accessible only via stairs, so do take note when traveling with older folks. For reference, our rooms were Std Twin Rm with Mountain View (superb view indeed and you can truly see the train), Twin Rm & Std Twin Room (a little bit darker cos the windows are in the bath area). There are also rooms on the first floor. Our highlight were the meals - so carefully prepared, very good quality and delicious. We enjoyed both the breakfast and dinner. Highly recommended to get your room with meals. The rooms were traditional but clean. Having a private onsen in all 3 rooms was convenient and very enjoyable. Our stay was incredibly restful and peaceful - a wonderful place to recharge.

Everything. For reference, we stayed at the room Tsubaki. First and foremost, the private onsen was great, perhaps a little too hot for my taste but still awesome. The interior looks exactly like the pictures and the room was more than spacious. If possible, add dinner and breakfast to the booking. At first we were a little dissapointed that dinner was not served in the room itself. However, the restaurant only provides private seating rooms. The food and service were both excellent. Parking was easy enough.

Firstly, the staffs. We felt so welcomed right from arrival. Their English isn't perfect (mine isn't, either) but there were very polite and attentive, always smiling too! The room was amazing! Totally as shown in the photos (minus one chair, which was a bit disappointing), and more! Spacious, homely, traditional, and the view was unforgettable! We spent hours looking outside. The food was the highlight for us. We booked half-board with dinner and breakfast, all 4 meals were sooo GOOD!! They also changed it every time so the longer you stay, the more you get to try! Do note that the 'arrival and departure' taxis to and from Yufuin station are covered by the hotel.

Toshoan js truly exceptional. Peaceful and serene, with breathtaking views and exquisite food—it’s the perfect place to relax. The private onsen in the room made the experience even more special. What truly sets this place apart is the outstanding customer service—warm, attentive, and thoughtful throughout. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the region.

The view of the mountains was great, very nice private Onsen. Loved the pajamas and their food! The place is very cosy and quaint.
