Located in isolated Yunohira station, this ryokan gave us feeling of solitude and privacy. When we first entered, we felt like we were in some Ghibli’s movies. The owners took care of us very well with heart warming accommodation. The ryokan has 4 hot springs which are well maintained. We spent a great long time in the hot springs during the snow and it was the best experience ever. Moreover, the food they served us here were plenty and super delicious.

Dinner and breakfast were very delicious and homely. The ryokan has a retro feel but there are many modern features. The tv in the room allows us to check if anyone is using the family bath. We were able to enjoy the onsen twice during our one night stay. Although there is no shower in the room, it is easy to just go to any available family bath where amenities are provided. The room we had in the annex was huge. Futons were laid out in the bedroom and we could use the living area for our suitcases and lounging around. The owners were very kind. I bought two packets of their sweet miso and didn't realize that I had forgotten to take them until I reached the next prefecture. The owner helped to arrange to send them to another accommodation.

As mentioned by most people, the dinner was amazing. I like that the food they prepared was more suited for our taste buds. Its kaiseki dinner with many different ingredients that we are familar with. The beef was tender, the sweet miso brinjal was amazing and also the yuzu ice cream. My kids will enjoy the food here too. Although we have to queue to use the baths but it wasnt a big problem as it is a small ryokan and there are 4 options for the baths. Most of the time , the baths are available. Appreciate the warm hospitality and we had a great stay. Remember to buy tidbits and beer if you intend to stay up late to drink as the nearest convenience store is 20 mins away in Yufin town. The ryokan does sell some beer and highball but beer was sold out that day. So it might be a better idea to purchase what you want before coming over.

I’ve stayed in a few ryokans and this has been the best one. Delicious food, awesome private onsen (don’t worry about tattoos), and a lovely family runs it.

Yamashiroya is a lovely retreat in a small village away from the tourist hotspots like Yufuin or Beppu. If you are looking for a place with nothing then flush green hills around this is the place to go. Take it as an experience as the exceptional friendly hosts will welcome you to their house, treat you to fantastic food and relax in the wonderful private baths before/after. Foreigners and especially Singles are also welcomed, which is another big plus! Explanations of the facilities and the different dinner/breakfast courses are provided in English.
