Top Kuju Natural Zoo Hotel Reviews

Makibanoie

8/10 Good

"A nice onsen - the public baths are really nice. Don’t bother with private bath as u need to fill up your tub. The bkfast and dinner were delicious and wide varieties. The room are spacious. The only complaint is our room has no bathing facilities- we had to use the public baths to shower! Not so convenient but thanks goodness our room is next to one of the baths."

Yufuin Baien Garden Resort

10/10 Excellent

"An international experience more than a Japanese one. But staff is nice and tries their best to offset frequent miscommunication with front desk office. For instance we reported several time we wanted a Japanese futon room, but the room was prepared as western."

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

"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"

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."

Gekkoju Kurokawa

10/10 Excellent

"It was the perfect gateway into our Ryokan/onsen experience with beautiful & spacious accommodations in a super private and relaxing setting. Having our own onsen with view of the mountains was an absolute dream after a week in the big cities. The attentive staff were exceptional and brought dinner to our room that we cooked over the coals for a unique experience. Overall an incredible retreat to come back to after a busy day of onsen hopping. Truly a first class experience!"
