Yufuin Onsen street is the primary base for most visitors. It concentrates a wide range of accommodations, from traditional ryokans to Western-style hotels. The area is walkable, offering easy access to shops, cafes, and scenic spots, creating an elegant and convenient atmosphere for hotel guests.
Transport: Oita Airport
While Yufu itself lacks an airport, nearby Oita Airport (OIT) serves as the main gateway. Travel from the airport to Yufuin takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours via limited express trains or buses.

Best Season
Spring (April-May) and Autumn (October-November) offer mild weather and beautiful scenery, making them the best times for hotel stays. Summer is hot but ideal for cooling off in hot springs, while winter provides opportunities to enjoy snow views and warm baths. Each season offers unique charm for different types of travelers.
