Everything is perfect! Staff is so awesome & Ryokan is well maintained. Only concerns are internet connection is bad & the constant phone call buzzing. Our check out is 10am but by 9:40am they’d started buzzing us.

The staff was excellent. They provided transportation to and from the train station. Very good food with attentive staff. We enjoyed the family onsen which you can reserve for 40 minutes.
The futons (bedding) were a little on the thin side for me. Also the internet was on the weak side and slow.

The quality of the hot spring water is excellent for the skin.

We had an amazing experience staying in Ryokan Seikoen. Service of all staff is top-notch. They would ask for your approx chech-in time and staff will be in the parking lot greeting you and taking care of your luggage as well as parking. The flow of meals, private onsen reservation etc were all very well explained. Dinner is a very nice Kaiseki with wagyu beef. We initially had some doubts since room does not have individual shower. You have to use the one in public bath. However, later we found it's not a problem as you would shower in the onsen anyways. After enjoying the excellent Japanese style breakfast, (and there is also child option for meals), the staff all waved goodbye to us upon check-out. The whole experience is an amazing Japanese hospitality and we will definitely visit again if we come back to Yufuin.

My friend and I had a wonderful time at the Seikouen. They picked us up from JR Kurume station, and their hospitality was amazing. They welcome us at the entrance and every time they see us. Kaiseki dinner and breakfast were beautiful and delicious. Onsen was cozie and wonderful. Definitely we will like to go there again!!!

Quaint, beautifully traditional ryokan experience
Posted 22 Apr 2024 on HotelsLovely stay at Yufuin. There is a free pick-up and drop-off options available from JR Yufuin Station which is a must unless you want to walk up crazy hills to get to the property.
The room we stayed had traditional tatami mats and plenty of space to lounge around before enjoying hot springs. This property allowed us to book a private bath free of charge, and also the public bath that is open til late which was convenient. There is also free Japanese kimono that you can wear during your stay. Many ryokans nowdays charge money to lend you kimono so it was nice that it was there free of charge.
We booked Japanese kaiseki-dinner as extra, breakfast was included already into our booking. The food is absolutely divine at this property - Hats off to the chef! The dinner and breakfast was well-presented by attentive and courteous staff which made the stay very enjoyable.
Thing to note of this property is that it is located in the mountains so there isn't much to do other than hot springs and a little walk around their courtyard. But it was perfect for us to have this quiet down-time during our travels.
