We recommend Tadaima Ryokan for couple and family. Tadaima Ryokan is near Yufuin walking street and train station, you can walk 10 mins. The staff speaks english and he is so kind and friendly. Our room is traditional room with toilet (include tasty breakfast), It is very good. The ryokan has public onsen; indoor and outdoor. I really like everything in this ryokan.
The distance from Yufuin train station around 500m, short distance. Comfortable stay and good environment. The staffs are friendly as well. We enjoy our 2 nights stay here. 😊
