ABOUT
Oita · Yufu no Oyado Hotaru








A cozy 12-room onsen ryokan where each detached cottage — relocated from a century-old farmhouse — comes with its own source-fed open-air bath. An onsen looking out at Mt. Yufu and a creative kaiseki course centered on Bungo beef make for a special, quiet night in Yufuin.
Boasting a Mount Yufu view and natural hot spring baths, Yufu No Oyado Hotaru offers traditional Japanese-style accommodation with a historic charm. Delicately prepared Japanese meals can be savoured. Fitted with a private open-air hot spring bath, rooms feature tatami (woven-straw) flooring and traditional futon bedding. A TV, a low table and green tea are included in each room. Guests at Hotaru Ryokan can enjoy relaxing massages and chiropractic treatments at Charaku and Tiara salons. The on-site gift shop offers local items and souvenirs. JR Yufuin Station is an 8-minute drive away, and Lake Kinrin is a 10-minute drive from the property. Mount Yufu can be reached within a 23-minute drive. Japanese multi-course dinner features local and seasonal ingredients. Traditional Japanese breakfast is also available at the dining room.
