I stayed here in Nov 2024 and Jun 2025. This property is so beautiful. There is long term construction right next to the property so there is noise during the day. Everything was perfect to have a relaxing time.

Everything about Nihon No Ashitaba was so incredibly beautiful, serene, and thoughtful. They offer a free shuttle everyday to Yufuin station where you can walk, shop, eat, and enjoy Yufuin. We were greeted promptly after riding the Yufuin No Mori from Hakata Station.They have multiple private onsens and a large open air hot spring you can reserve a time everyday if you wanted. Their breakfast and dinner is absolutely amazing and gives you a truly genuine Japanese food experience. The villas/homes on the property are tradition style and are very spacious and clean. The landscape of the property is quiet and offers you a peaceful onsen experience. The best part about Nihon No Ashitaba is the impeccable service and generosity of their staff. Yuji in particular, really cared for us and worked hard to make our stay the best experience ever! Thank you so much for the wonderful time in Yufuin!

Disappointment

I have visited Nihon No Ashitaba about 6 or 7 times. But I won't be visiting again. Still clean and nice hot springs, but the food was disappointing. In the past, dishes using vegetables were really cool and delicious, and they were dishes that showed the owner's philosophy. Since I visited several times a few years ago, I also visited the owner's villa three times due to the owner's consideration. On this trip, breakfast was mostly rice and soybean paste soup with a salty vegetable side dish. It was so ordinary. (There was a tofu dish on another table. I don't understand why it was different from my breakfast menu.) Dinner also included steak (cold) and a few pre-made dishes (which seemed half-hearted). I can't eat fried food and sashimi due to cancer treatment, and I asked for shabu-shabu before my visit. However, fried fish was served, and tofu (yuba) and steak were served instead of sashimi. It was very disappointing. When I visited in the past, I missed the creative, delicious, and thoughtful food. And when I checked out, I already gave my room key to the staff, but 2 minutes later, another staff member asked for my key. (I didn't understand.) Lastly, I saw the staff giving gifts in shopping bags to other guests. But there was no gift for me. Was it because I stayed in a cheap room??? I felt bad. I don't want to visit again. I canceled my reservation for January next year.
