Name: Yufuin Gettouan
Rating: 4.5

Overview

Within a space of ten thousand square meters there stand 18 separate villas with open-air baths. This inn surrounded by great nature was named Gettouan a name originating from the hermitage (an) enjoying the light (tou) of the moon (getsu).

If you take a step in to the main building, reconstructed from a 300-year-old home, details such as the wide strong pillars and high beams give a distinct atmosphere of a traditional Japanese construction.

The paths and bridges on the way to the cottage emphasize the moonlight.

In rooms that thematize "tea room" from the good old days, you will find the vividness and richness of the four seasons in Japan. It feels as though your body is taking a deep breath when you take an open-air bath surrounded by forest. This is precisely an experience to ease the mind and body.

The cuisine served is a Japanese traditional kaiseki banquet with every dish prepared with close attention to every detail including color, flavor, and smell.

In this inn you will spend a happy time feeling the best quality of hospitality which was came about through a slow flow of time at Yufuin.

The food is great and the service is excellent and the staff are super! Thank you for making my stay so memorable. The ONLY thing I can think of that needs improving is the for the two OSENS that are for the luxury suites. The waiting area is at the outdoor. We have no way to know if it is in use until we walked there and when it is in use, it is too cold to wait outside so we have to go back to our rooms and come back out again to try. One night I have walk back and forth 3 times in order to get in. So maybe you can develop a better system. BUT overall, I love this place and will come back again. I will recommend to all my friends.

Read more ゆっくりとできました、ありがとうございます。上品で美しく、美味しいお料理にとても満足いたしました。お部屋は、特別室で、縁側・居間がとても落ち着くことができました、できれば、寝室に部屋の雰囲気を壊さないローベットがあれば、もっとくつろげたのではと思います。入室時にいただけたお抹茶はとても嬉しかったです。せっかくの茶室仕立てなので、自分たちでお茶がたてられるセットが、有料でも良いのであればとも思いました。

Thank you very much. I was very satisfied with the refined, beautiful and delicious food. The room was a special room and I was able to settle down the living room very much. If possible, I think I would have been more relaxed if there was a bed in the bedroom that did not break the atmosphere of the room. I was very happy about the green tea I got when I entered the room. I thought that it would be good if the set for being able to make tea by myself was fine, as it was a special tea room tailoring.

Thank you very much for your help. I slowly rested. Especially cooking and staff are amazing. I went to a famous restaurant in various places, but I was impressed with the menu, the material, the instrument, the wonderful sense. However, it is regrettable that the book is poor though there is a nice lounge. While roaring in the room, Iwanami Bunko was something, it was awesome.
