Hotels near Yabakei

"I stayed here in Nov 2024 and Jun 2025. This property is so beautiful. There is long term construction right next to the property so there is noise during the day. Everything was perfect to have a relaxing time. "

"Loved the room, friendly staff, great hot spring water, amazing and delicious breakfast and dinner!!"

"The resort offers an outstanding onsen experience! The on-site dining was also excellent. Staying here was a highlight of our trip to Japan."

"Hotel is fine ( very good for 2 stars ). They have private Onsens, which is great. Resturant staff were amazing in catering a vegetarian meal(s) for my wife. "

"From the minute we entered the resort, we felt like we were the most valued guests. The checkin process was most welcoming and took place in the lounge, with a personal checkin attendant and a welcome drink and snack. We were then led to choosing our yukatas and obis, and then escorted to our suite. Each feature of the suite was explained in detail. We had a private onsen on the deck as well as a private footpath on the patio. Both are beautifully designed and aesthetically very appealing, adding to the lovely hot spring experience. The room was very well appointed and spacious. The amenities provided were very good quality products. Dinners and breakfasts were served in a private area of the dining facility, sometimes in our own little dining room. They were set menus, beautifully and artistically presented and the dining attendants explained each dish. Each dish, each piece of cutlery or crockery was singly and purposefully set down. The staff were most attentive and very friendly. The facility is 2.5km from the main town. It is set in a quiet area and the views of Mt Yufu and the valley are spectacular. It is very relaxing to sit in the lounge or out on the main deck and see the beautiful view. The public onsens also have this lovely view of the mountain and the valley We loved being at this resort....they truly value their guests. You will feel rested and pampered. There is a shuttle that goes to town at 9am and at 3pm. Cabs are easy to get. great place to stay"

"Everything was great. Excellent service but was surprised when I booked that dinner was not included as with most other ryokans."

"I thoroughly enjoyed the aesthetics of the property and how comfortable the rooms were. The staff was very professional and responsive. The onsen facility was clean and relaxing. I look forward to visiting again. "

"Beautiful, modern, very tastefully decorated property. The front desk attendee was very hospitable, a warm welcome to our first time in Yufuin! Gems is a minute walk from the station / bus stop, and is located centrally to Yufuin town. The walk to Kinrin lake was beautiful, with views of the mountain on the street. The room we booked was incredibly spacious, and although designed for 4, did not feel too empty for 2. The bathroom is so well done and so clean, with a huge bath tub that just invites a private soak. We would stay again next time! "

"Amazing service all around. We were greeted straight away, shown to our room and the available facilities. The ryoken was very peaceful and clean. Dinner was 10/10 and we had lovely onsens to enjoy."
