Our stay at the ryokan was a delightful experience, with beautiful outdoor onsens and a fantastic kaiseki dinner. The room was spacious and comfortable, but it lacked a shower or bathtub. Overall, the friendly staff and stunning facilities made our visit memorable, though it could be a bit more ideal with better room amenities.

My stay at Baien was truly wonderful! The outdoor onsen was beautifully set in nature and the size was just perfect for a relaxing soak. I particularly loved the presentation and taste of the food, especially the grilled wagyu. However, the language barrier with some staff and the lack of window coverings in my suite were minor inconveniences. Overall, it's a great choice if you're looking for a serene getaway in Yufuin.

My stay was truly wonderful, with a spacious suite featuring both indoor and outdoor baths that made relaxation a breeze. The public bath also had stunning views, and the Kaiseki dinner was exquisite, showcasing the best of Kyushu cuisine. However, the lack of privacy in some windows was a slight downside. Overall, I would rank this experience as one of the best during my travels in Kyushu.
