Excellent ryokan with super friendly staff, we really enjoyed our stay. The cats are cute and well taken care of, the baths are great and the room is pleasant. There is one caveat that needs to be mentioned: This is a cat-*themed* ryokan centered around the cats in the cat cafe that it hosts. The cafe is located inside the ryokan but acts as a separate entity and requires separate payment onsite. Very recommended for cat lovers! :3

Cat people reunite!
Where can I start? B&B and cat cafe and hot spring all in one? I was truly in heaven. Cats and owners are true winners. Away from main traffic, stores and restaurants. All I heard was local train goes by every hour or so. Cute sweets and well balanced breakfast. I really didn't want to leave.

Prefect for all cat-lovers! Wonderful services, foods, facilities, onsen, environment, cats and staff. It’s the warmest and best ryokan i have ever stayed. If i visit Yufu again, i must stay there for few more days to visit the cats and staff and to enjoy every moment again.

최고의 료칸, 최고의 사람들
너무 좋았어요. 다음에도 갈 수 있다면 장기간 숙박하고
싶습니다. 고양이들은 정말 최고였습니다. (비록 고양이들은 저를 안 좋아했지만, 보는걸로도 행복했습니다.)

정말 예쁘고 쉬기 좋은 곳입니다 감성을 챙기시는 분이면 더더욱 좋은 숙소입니다. 프라이빗 노천탕과 거의 항상 사용할 수 있는 내부 온천도 너무 좋았어요 다음에 또 오고 싶은 숙소는 처음입니다. 고양이도 너무 귀여워욬ㅋㅋㅋ 사장님 서비스가 너무 좋으시고, 체크 아웃 후 역까지 태워주셔서 너무 감사합니다
정말 좋아요 온천 이용도 기다린 적 없이 바로바로 이용 가능했고 물 온도도 적당해서 좋았습니다
직원분들이 정말 친절하셨고
고양이카페를 이용하지않아도 창문을 통해 볼 수 있었고 고양이들이 매우 귀여웠습니다!
다만 오래된 목조건축이기 때문에 방음이 잘 안되었고 방 안에 샤워실이 없는 것이 불편할 순 있습니다
그러나 다른 모든 것들에 만족하므로 추천드립니다!
