Yufuin Sansuikan

The food is incredibly tasty, the service is excellent, and the rooms are very clean. Overall, it’s a great experience.

A nice quiet ryokan with pretty good onsen and bath facilities. I recommend to stay one night would be enough.

This onsen hotel look rather old and tired from the outside, but besides that, everything about it exceeded my expectations. Location is just about a 6-7 minutes' walk from the train station. We stayed in the Japanese style room, which was clean, fairly spacious and overlooking the mountains. Onsen was good with both indoor and outdoor pools on the ground floor and first floor, swapping between males and females at allocated hours. As for the dinner, it was simply awesome! It was the standard buffet eat and drink all you can type, except it was not so standard with the standard food and the usual house pour. Dinner was widespread and high-quality stuff (graded wagyu steak) and a selection of whisky and premium beer lager. (Beer not the usual plastic cups BUT BY THE BOTTLES!) It was no surprise that queues start forming at 5.30pm even though dinner officially only start at 6. So, if Sansuikan is your pick, make sure you make a reservation with dinner.
