Very nice owners, clean structure with private onsens. It's a bit outside Yufuin so it's very recommended if you have a car. Nice room, a bit expensive compared to a similar structure. You will appreciate many aspects of the structure if you're a cat lover.

This local style hotel with cat is so great
It's a GREAT hotel, staff is helpful and friendly. It's a great moment to stay here and play with all cats (Wara is the most lovely one~). Will consider to come again next time.

This place was so cute and so much fun! It was a very relaxing weekend thanks to the staff and the cats. The establishment is cash only and you pay ¥1,000 yen per day for cat cafe access. Each morning your cat treats are restocked and you are left with a little snack as well to enjoy while playing with the cats. I will admit, the road to the hotel is a little rough, but that is bo flaw to the establishment. The staff are very kind, attentive, and accomodating. The room was also spacious and beautiful. I hope one day I may go back.

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
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
