Oita Yufu City
A hideaway inn with in-room panoramic baths fed straight from the source and Mount Yufu’s views all to yourself
Yufuin Onsen Toshoan is an onsen inn of just eight rooms, set among farmland at the foot of Mount Yufu in Yufu, Oita Prefecture. Every room has its own panoramic bath of natural onsen water fed straight from the source, never recirculated, so you can soak in the soft, skin-beautifying water in complete privacy. Dinner is a creative Japanese kaiseki built around seasonal local ingredients hand-picked by the head chef, and breakfast is a gentle Japanese meal centered on medicinal herbal rice porridge, both served in a private dining room. With a bar lounge that looks out over Mount Yufu and an irori sunken hearth full of traditional Japanese charm, it is a place to enjoy blissful rest in quiet, far from the bustle.

The inn’s one and only luxurious special room. From its own open-air bath you can take in majestic Mount Yufu and the farmland scenery as it changes through the seasons. Smooth alkaline simple spring water, fed straight from the source and never recirculated, gently loosens body and mind in this lavish private space.

A special suite looking out on the superb views of Mount Yufu that stretch beyond its spacious engawa veranda and wooden deck. With a characterful hinoki indoor bath and an open-air bath, it lets you enjoy skin-beautifying water fed straight from the source, never recirculated, to your heart’s content in a space completely cut off from the bustle of everyday life.

A room wrapped in the quiet privacy only a detached building can offer. Along with its warm interior, it has a panoramic bath made with carefully chosen Towada stone, and from the tub you can savor Mount Yufu and beautiful starry skies. Water fed straight from the source, never recirculated, brings deep relaxation.

Rooms whose pride is a panoramic bath with a different character in each, from rock to ceramic to hinoki. Throw open the windows, and the majestic form of Mount Yufu and the steam rising from the onsen create a beautiful contrast. You can enjoy gentle-on-the-skin alkaline simple spring water, fed straight from the source and never recirculated, as long as you like alongside the superb views.
