Top Kuju Highlands Observatory Hotel Reviews

Ryokan Hachisunoito

Ryokan Hachisunoito

10/10 Excellent
"We loved staying at the Ryokan Hachisunoito. It is a 7-10 minute walk from the JR Yufu station. Ryokan was recently renovated in a traditional Japanese style mixed with Western touches. The staff was friendly, welcoming, caring and helpful. Rajesh checked us in and made sure that we enjoyed our breakfast and dinner on all three days of our stay. He was also instrumental in making sure our bags were shipped to our next hotel in a timely manner. The Western-style breakfast and Japanese-style dinner were excellent. The Sake served was also of good quality. The private Onsen experience was amazing. We can’t wait to return to Yufuin and stay at the Ryokan Hachisunoito."
