Recommended Ryokan in Yufuin 📍Yufunogo Saigakukan Many people visit Yufuin to enjoy the hot springs when they go to Fukuoka!♨️ Today, I'm going to introduce you to Saigakukan, a ryokan in Yufuin😆 I went on a filial piety trip with my parents and aunt, so I really wanted to visit a ryokan with a hot spring.👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 A ryokan is a traditional Japanese accommodation.🛏 The one I visited had a quiet atmosphere and an open-air bath with a great view of Mt. Yufu☺️ 1️⃣2️⃣ When you enter Saigakukan, which has a pretty exterior, you'll see a very old but clean lobby.✨️ You can think of this as the passageway to the guest rooms, hot springs, and restaurants. 3️⃣4️⃣ The rooms are located below the lobby, so you have to go through a downhill passage! 🚪Isn't this passage so impressive! It would be nice to take a picture here wearing a yukata! 📷 The guest room was also a tatami room with a traditional Japanese feel. 5️⃣6️⃣7️⃣ After unpacking, we went straight to dinner🧳 Dinner was a course meal, and the food was prepared one by one, but I thought the portions were small, so I couldn't eat much when I ate the last meat..😢 The next day's breakfast was a Korean meal.🍴 The thing I liked most about breakfast was the view! 🏙Eating breakfast while looking at the natural scenery from the window seat was delicious. 😋🌳 Overall, it was neat and delicious.👍 8️⃣9️⃣🔟 This is the long-awaited open-air bath! ♨️This ryokan consists of a large bath and several family baths. You can use the large bath anytime you want except for cleaning hours, but you can make a reservation for the family baths, which are open to families.🕑 I've used both, and the family baths are private, but the large baths are much better because they are spacious and open!👍 There is a lounge before going to the hot springs, and there is unlimited milk ice cream, coffee, and beer.🍦☕️🍻 It's great for a refreshing meal and rest after the hot springs. If you're going to Yufuin, Japan, I highly recommend Yufuin Saigakukan Ryokan~ ✔️The prices of Yufuin Ryokan double at the end of the year and it's hard to make a reservation 😭 I recommend making a reservation at least 2 months in advance ✔️Photography is prohibited in the large baths, so the photos I took are of the family baths📷 ✔️The Kansai staff will make a futon in your room for dinner.😴 Don't be surprised if someone comes and goes! ✔️Please refrain from making loud noises or splashing in the public bath🙅‍♀️ #Ho-kang-seu #Hot spring #Ryokan hotel #Ryokan recommendation #Yufuin

"Since I came to Yufuin, I want to see Mt. Yufu while taking a bath!" I found the inn "Yufu no Sato Saigakukan" with this thought. This inn was renovated in February 2022♨︎ This inn has a beautiful view of Mt. Yufu from anywhere♡ Mt. Yufu is often covered with clouds and its appearance changes constantly, so being able to see it from anywhere is actually a very big point‼ ︎ Saigakukan has many drinks available in the rooms, and in the lounge next to the large bath, the coffee machine, Yufu water, and popsicles are all free‼ ︎ At night, there is also a draft beer server (of course, all-you-can-drink)!! Isn't that amazing? It's perfect for staying in a hot spring‼ ︎ One of the pleasures of staying in an inn is that all the food is delicious! Especially the breakfast, where every dish is made with care. When I asked the inn staff, they told me that the head chef is particular about making everything by hand, making even the smallest things one by one. I'm so happy to be able to eat such delicious food in the morning♡ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Yufu no Sato Saigakukan 📍2378-1 Kawakami, Yufuin-cho, Yufu City, Oita Prefecture ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #AccommodationTrip #Yufu no Sato Saigakukan #YufuinOnsen #YufuinTrip

#JapanTravel #YufuinRyokan #MartSushi What happens after eating kaiseki? You have to take a bath again ㅎㅎㅎ The common area where we stayed as much as our room had beautiful landscaping and we hardly ever saw other guests! There was an Asahi beer vending machine and a milk vending machine from Crayon Shin-chan ㅎㅎ In the evening, instead of enjoying the outdoor hot spring, we went up to our room after enjoying the indoor hot spring, and they set up our bedding like a hotel's turndown service! The bedding was so cozy and nice😌 I just ate kaiseki, but ㅎㅎㅎㅎ I couldn't resist beer and mart sushi with my mom ㅎㅎㅎㅎ We also ate a lot of late-night snacks🍣 If you go to the breakfast restaurant where you checked in on the first day, they will prepare it for you It was more filling and healthy than I thought!! After taking our last bath and drinking milk We took the ryokan shuttle to Yufuin Station! The next schedule continues in Oita City 🥰

#JapanTravel #YufuinRyokan #Kaiseki My mom really likes to take a hot spring in warm water We arrived at Yufunogo Saigakukan, which has an outdoor hot spring that we can enjoy alone! When we arrived, they gave us a wet towel and a welcome drink, which was matcha! It was more expensive than I thought😇 We moved to our room! It was comfortable because it had a tatami floor and a low chair Now let's go take a bath! It was a little rainy, but it was so nice. I liked it Since our accommodation fee included kaiseki and breakfast, we went to the restaurant to eat kaiseki! We paid extra for beer🍺 The colorful and pretty Japanese food, meat, and fried food were enough even if I wrote it down💕 We finished it off with dessert, which was so good!!

#HotelAccommodationEvent This was my first time visiting Japan, and although all my experiences were new, it was probably an overwhelming happiness to experience my first ryokan here. The tea I drank in the morning in front of the beautiful scenery. The quiet and clean bath, the friendly staff, and the delicious food were all great experiences.

#JapanTravel If you're traveling in Japan, you can eat kaiseki at ✨️Saigakukan✨️. Kaiseki is a course meal served at a ryokan or restaurant. The dishes are served in very pretty dishes and look delicious. They also serve various kinds of alcohol, which go well with the food. 🎯2378-1 Yufuincho Kawakami, Yufu, Oita 879-5102 Japan #FukuokaTravel #Saigakukan #Yufuin #Kaiseki

#Ho-kang-seu #Ryokan-hotel I visited a ryokan where I could enjoy the beautiful Yufudake right in front of me. In particular, the open-air hot spring with a view of Yufudake right in front is famous in Yufuin. It is a ryokan with a great price-to-performance ratio because it has a great view. It is a bit far from downtown Yufuin, so if you contact the ryokan when you arrive at JR Yufuin Station, they will provide a free pick-up service. Since it is away from the downtown area, you can relax quietly and secludedly. There are rooms with private open-air baths, but I chose the basic standard garden view. Since the large bath is well-maintained, I think you don't necessarily need a room with a private hot spring! You can also check the availability of the large bath or private bath through the guest room TV, so you can enjoy the hot springs while avoiding crowded times.ㅎㅎ This was the best service I felt. I highly recommend Saigakukan to those who are traveling to hot springs~

I found a recommended inn in Yufuin, Oita, Onsen Prefecture! The inn is called "Yufu no Sato Saigakukan". ・A spectacular open-air bath overlooking Mt. Yufu ・Five types of private baths ・Open-air bath in the guest room ・All-you-can-drink beer ・Exquisite kaiseki cuisine It has all the elements you want in a hot spring inn♪ The spectacular view of Mt. Yufu from directly in front is a must-see!! Not only is the food delicious, but the all-you-can-drink beer after bathing is the best for alcohol lovers🍻 Access: 2378-1 Kawakami, Yufuin-cho, Yufu City, Oita Prefecture #Hotel stay #Luxury hotel #Hot spring
