Enokiya Ryokan

What a great find! A “traditional” ryokan onsen experience in a modern building. Love the spacious room with western beds and a raised platform futon/seating area with large windows overlooking the river! There’s attached toilet with sink but no shower/bath in the room but we love showering in the onsen. There are 3 onsen rooms (2 with outdoor pool). First come first serve. Tablet in the room will let you know when they’re occupied/available. You lock the door to the onsen room so essentially you have your private onsen experienced!!! The Japanese buffet breakfast is excellent and substantial. Love the dining room- there’s a loft area as well. If you love the onsen experience, you’ll love Enokiya Ryokan. And the front desk staff are super nice!!! Note: they didn’t offer half board on the days we stayed. I’d recommend doing the half board because trying to find dinner in Yufuin can be difficult. Always ask front desk to call to make dinner reservations for you…

location, comfort, cleanliness

Good location, close to the main business street and face to a river. Brand new building, the modern lobby perfect joined a Japanese heritage building with the restaurant, modern and quiet Japanese style bed rooms. I would like to recommend the one stay with two meals plan. The dinner was amazing. The Kindly staff can speak good English.

What a delight to be staying here. The rooms are spacious, the view and light comforting and the location is perfect. The whole hotel has a contemporary clear thinking and fun approach, supported by thoughtful staff. The meals were a beautiful selection of Japanese foods, all prepared to an excellent standard.

Staff are very nice, helpful and friendly. Private onsen is clean and spacious. The location is not far from the sightseeing spots like floral village or Kinrin lake.
