Top Makinoto Onsen Hotel Reviews

Yufuin Ryokan Seikoen

10/10 Excellent

"We found this place the last minute after we decided to stay for overnight instead of making it a day-trip from Fukuoka. Absolute good decision! Everything is so good: room, staff, and the venue. Love it."

Kamenoi Hotel Aso

10/10 Excellent

"Kamenoi is a large resort that offers great breakfast and dinner, large indoor and outdoor baths, friendly staff"

Kamenoi Hotel Aso Park Resort

8/10 Good

Nihon No Ashitaba

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about our stay was wonderful — the beautiful scenery, the exceptional kaiseki dinner and breakfast , the warm and attentive staff, and such a comfortable, restful sleep. Our kids absolutely loved it, and we’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!"

Yufuin Yawaraginosato Yadoya

10/10 Excellent

"Very, very kind staff"

Rakuten STAY VILLA Yufuin Onsen

10/10 Excellent

"Fully remote/self service. Check in was through a screen. Love the property and amenities. Wish our stay was longer"

SEKIYA RESORT GALLERIA MIDOBARU

10/10 Excellent

"The SEKIYA RESORT GALLERIA MIDOBARU staff are great! The private onsen in our room made a great way to relax during our trip. It was a great place to relax. The hotel has a nice restaurant too."

Kurokawa Onsen Ryokan Wakaba

8/10 Good

"Liked: Large rooms Did not like: Rigid dining schedule. Food, while plentiful and tasty, was served at a fast pace as the time available for dinner is limited. Private onsen not worthwhile -- water very hot and space cramped. No after dinner option to socialize. Bar very limited and closes (hard close) at 9 pm. Upon asking what people do in the evening we were told-- Onsen (bathe)! It is not everyone's preference to take a hot bath after dinner."
