Gettouan

Really nice ryokan when we went to Yufu, onsen city 2hrs from Fukuoka by bus. From we arrive, the ambience are super nice and the staff very friendly. The private onsen with natural hot spring are refreshing even when we visit in summer. If you ever visit, please book with dinner as since the Kaiseki are super delicious with many local ingredients used.

Location is very nice, except there's a gravel road before reaching the hotel. It's around 10min drive from downtown so it's close enough.Hotel is old but quite authentic and highend. There's a nice bridge you need to cross before going to the main hotel area. There are 2 private onsen you can just walk in, they are right next to the river, very nice experience.there are some bugs around so i wouldn't say it's all clean, but you are next to the mountain so i guess cant expect too much.worst thing is i did not notice my booking which is $400 usd, did not include dinner and breakfast, which is very standard for a onsen ryokan. I had go out and buy my own food when i expected to be in a yukata and eating nice hotel food.

I traveled with my partner for a short onsen vacation, and I was very pleased with the hotel. It's very peaceful and relaxing, the private onsen especially. The breakfast is not free as Google says though, you have an option when you can you can get breakfast and dinner but not automatically includes. There is a small town full of restaurants, easier to reach it with a car (40 minutes walk otherwise). I recommend it for romantic escapes!

We chose this gorgeous Ryokan because after backpacking in Japan for a month we felt like a treat to end our trip. It was a beautiful place to reflect upon our adventures. We hired a car so that we could explore the region and go into town when ever we wanted to (it’s located approximately 3km out of town up a hill). We bought a bottle of wine and snacks in the local supermarket and enjoyed a glass each evening in the garden. Sadly we were unable to experience their restaurant as they had not seen our email requesting this; however we found a some cute restaurants and cafes ate there instead. The hot springs really were 🥵 but great for our aches. Highly recommend as a beautiful private place to reconnect with your loved ones. It would be an amazing place for a wedding as everyone would be together and the gardens are so tranquil.

I travel all over the world this year, and stayed over 90 days in different types of hotel/resort, I would say, this one is the best I have so far. Completely exceeded my expectations for what I could get from a hotel. I drove here, there are some good restaurants like 8 minutes drive from the hotel. I booked very late, so I didn't get a chance to try the food at this place. Once I arrived, they sent my luggage to my room. I meant, I wouldn't call it a room, it's a 2-story house that I could use, with private bath, private hot spring, private yard. Free drinks in the fridge, and the free dessert was so good that I even drove to the store to brought a box home. Last and most importantly, when I left, I got snow covered on my car. I asked the staff to borrow me a tool so that I could wipe it. And he just clean up the snow for the entire car and open the door for me. I saw he started cleaning up snow for all other cars in the parking lot. This is truly above and beyond hospitality. I would recommend this place to everyone I know.

Good service, staff are friendly and helpful. The room is spacious and the environment is peaceful. There is a bridge connecting the room and reception area, the view is fabulous. We requested for taxi service upon check out and the staff promptly arranged it, much appreciated.

There are individual buildings on site, each with a small garden and a hot spring. It is a quiet place, a little far from Yufuin's train station, but you can relax🥰 Staff are polite enough. The food is really good. One disappointment was that there was hair in the food, but the facilities at the inn were good enough to make me forget that. There is free coffee in the public space, but the taste is so so😅 You could buy coffee from a supermarket or convenience store, brew it and drink it.

My family of four planned a trip to Fukuoka and decided to visit Yufuin to experience outdoor onsen. I came across Yufuin Gettouan during my research, and its beauty and tranquility really spoke to me. We only stayed one night because of the lack of availability (and also because it's really expensive), but we really wish we would have stayed longer.||There was a "once in a decade" snowstorm (which seems to occur more frequently than once a decade) when we took the Yufuin no Mori from Fukuoka to Yufuin. As always, fresh white snow makes everything more beautiful (at least in my opinion), and despite my high expectations, I was absolutely blown away by the beauty and serenity of this ryokan. We stayed in a main villa because the annex villas didn't allow kids, but it still has its own private outdoor onsen. Unfortunately, we didn't realize that there was no indoor shower/bathtub in the villa. Since we were not brave enough to take a shower outdoor in snowy conditions, we ended up going to the public bath to take a shower before heading back to the villa and hopping into the private outdoor onsen. It's an unbelievable experience watching the snow falls while being submerged in a cozy onsen! ||Service and meals were both exceptional, and I would have gone into more details if not for the 1500-character limit on TripAdvisor.||If you are looking for a traditional onsen ryokan experience, you really can't go wrong with Yufuin Gettouan. My only regret was only staying for one night.

Yufuin Gettouan is located in the famous small town of Yufuin. Both this ryokan and the small town it's located in is worth visiting. We stayed here for 2 nights and enjoyed our stay with a nice visit to town. Because we stayed 2 nights, they gave us different options for breakfast & dinner so no meal ever got boring. Although to be honest, I would've been okay eating the same kaiseki twice just because of how amazing they are :) How can one ever get sick of kaisekis! It's very common for places like this in southern japan to give you fresh wasabi and allow you to grate it at the table. It shows you how fresh the wasabi is.
