What a great find! A “traditional” ryokan onsen experience in a modern building. Love the spacious room with western beds and a raised platform futon/seating area with large windows overlooking the river! There’s attached toilet with sink but no shower/bath in the room but we love showering in the onsen. There are 3 onsen rooms (2 with outdoor pool). First come first serve. Tablet in the room will let you know when they’re occupied/available. You lock the door to the onsen room so essentially you have your private onsen experienced!!! The Japanese buffet breakfast is excellent and substantial. Love the dining room- there’s a loft area as well. If you love the onsen experience, you’ll love Enokiya Ryokan. And the front desk staff are super nice!!! Note: they didn’t offer half board on the days we stayed. I’d recommend doing the half board because trying to find dinner in Yufuin can be difficult. Always ask front desk to call to make dinner reservations for you…

The staff were exceptional, friendly and very helpful. They went out of their way to make sure our stay was comfortable and to assist in any way they could. A special thank you to the chef of the Pub/Restaurant who cooked a superb meal for us when we did not have a booking, and to the staff who assisted and translated for us. It was one of the best meals we had in Japan and a fantastic experience. Thank you all very much. The location is excellent with views of the mountains and river, and car parking on site. It is very close to the beautiful shops which were fun to explore. The Onsen's were great and very clean, with indoor and outdoor options. We would love to return!

location, comfort, cleanliness

Nice hotel .New facility. Nice staff

Good location, close to the main business street and face to a river. Brand new building, the modern lobby perfect joined a Japanese heritage building with the restaurant, modern and quiet Japanese style bed rooms. I would like to recommend the one stay with two meals plan. The dinner was amazing. The Kindly staff can speak good English.

Only three hot spring bath rooms are available and there aren’t any in-room showers but toilets. A little bit inconvenient with hot spring lovers.

Exactly as the picture, whole Ryokan has good interior design. Very comfortable and spacious. Really enjoyed private Onsen located at ground level, home made breakfast was delicious. Next street is shopping street full of nice souvenirs and food. highly recommend this accomodation!

What a delight to be staying here. The rooms are spacious, the view and light comforting and the location is perfect. The whole hotel has a contemporary clear thinking and fun approach, supported by thoughtful staff. The meals were a beautiful selection of Japanese foods, all prepared to an excellent standard.

The rooms are huge and well lit. They have a lot of amenities, like books or tea/coffee. Good lighting. Staff speaks great English and was very helpful. Private onsen were great

Beds too hard. I know that Japanese like hard mattresses, but this one was not comfortable

Staff are very nice, helpful and friendly. Private onsen is clean and spacious. The location is not far from the sightseeing spots like floral village or Kinrin lake.

It would be great if the power outlet in the room is a universal outlet.

Exceptionally big and beautifully appointed room Excellent English speaking staff who recommended an excellent place for dinner.

Windows can’t be fully opened Private onsen is nice but can’t be hassle
