forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.59 out of 5 (774 reviews). This Yufuin onsen ryokan has detached rooms with either an indoor bath or a semi-open-air rock bath. Because families can bathe on their own in their room's bath, even those with young children who are not ready for a communal bath can relax without worrying about other guests. You can choose between Japanese-style tatami rooms and Japanese-Western rooms.
Kids Facilities
Children's yukata
Children's yukata
Children's yukata are provided so that even young children can spend the stay dressed the way a ryokan calls for. Adults are given yukata and samue (a two-piece Japanese-style outfit) as roomwear, so the whole family can enjoy wearing yukata around the ryokan.
Meals for children
Meals for children
Elementary school children are served a mini kaiseki, an arrangement of the adult kaiseki course that keeps the adults' main dish but leaves out items such as vinegared dishes and delicacies. If a child does not care for kaiseki cuisine, you can switch to the kids' meal menu by letting the ryokan know by the day before. Children under school age are served a kids' plate with dishes such as Hamburg steak and karaage at both dinner and breakfast.
- •A private room in the dining area can be served for only up to 4 adults, so larger groups including children are advised to dine in the main dining area.
- •Individual allergy accommodation is not available.

Overview
Yufuin Onsen Yufuintei is a ryokan in Yufuin Onsen whose 16 rooms are all detached. Each room comes with either an indoor bath finished in hinoki cypress or a semi-open-air bath carved out of rock, so families can soak in the onsen with their privacy intact. There are also open-air baths, separate for men and women, filled with Yufuin Onsen water flowing 100% straight from the source and available 24 hours a day. Elementary school children are served a mini kaiseki course and children under school age a kids' plate, and children's yukata are provided. The ryokan cannot accommodate allergies, so this needs to be confirmed in advance.
Rooms
All 16 rooms at Yufuintei are detached, so your privacy is assured in quiet surroundings. The room types are: a Japanese-style tatami room for 1 to 4 guests, made up of two tatami rooms, with an indoor bath finished in hinoki cypress; a Japanese-Western room for 1 to 2 guests, with a Western-style area holding two semi-double beds and a tatami space to relax in; a 15 sq m Japanese-Western room for 1 to 3 guests, the closest to the main building, which has a hinoki cypress indoor bath; a Japanese-style tatami room for 1 to 3 guests with a semi-open-air bath carved out of rock; and a 16 sq m Japanese-Western room for 1 to 3 guests, likewise with a semi-open-air bath. Every room type has a set children's rate. A room for 6 guests is also available, and you need to inquire in advance to use it.
Dining
Dinner is served from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and breakfast from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m., in the dining area. Elementary school children are served a mini kaiseki: the same main dish as the adults, with items such as vinegared dishes and delicacies taken out of the adult kaiseki course. If a child does not care for kaiseki cuisine, you can switch to the kids' meal menu by letting the ryokan know by the day before. For children who have not yet started elementary school, a kids' plate with dishes such as Hamburg steak and karaage (Japanese fried chicken) is prepared at both dinner and breakfast. Some plans let you eat in a private room in the dining area, but a private room's table can be served for only up to 4 adults, so larger groups including children are advised to dine in the main dining area. Please note that the ryokan cannot accommodate allergies.
Baths and Onsen
Guest rooms come with either an indoor bath finished in hinoki cypress or a semi-open-air bath carved out of stone. There are also open-air baths, separate for men and women, where Yufuin Onsen water flows 100% straight from the source and which can be used 24 hours a day. The spring water is a simple onsen.
Family-Friendly Features
Because the indoor bath or semi-open-air bath in your room is yours alone, you can enjoy the onsen with a young child without worrying about other guests. Children's yukata are provided as well. On the other hand, the ryokan cannot accommodate allergies, so if your child has a food allergy you will need to discuss it in advance.
