Iori Yufuin ーVacation House with Private Hot Spring

Our family really loved staying here. The mattresses in both bedrooms were comfortable, and the guesthouse had already switched on the heat in the living room and both rooms before we arrived. The hot spring was fantastic, and we had enough space to park our 8-seater right in front. Getting in was easy: the key was in a box by the entrance, and the guesthouse emailed the code an hour or two before arrival. It's in a commercial area, with Jinlin Lake only a five-minute walk away if you head out early. We arrived around 2 PM and found the area busy, so take care when parking. The stairs up to the second floor are steep, so go slowly.

We had a lovely Christmas Eve here with our family. There was plenty of room for three adults and a child, and everything was clean and neat. I worried about the cooking smell mentioned in other reviews, but the owner was quick to address it. Large air purifiers were running in the entry, living room, and bedrooms, and we didn't notice any odor. The cabin is a one-minute walk from Yunopsubi Old Town and five minutes from Kinrin Lake, with convenient parking if you're driving. Self check-in is handy, though the machines can be a little hard to use. The toilet is downstairs, which is worth remembering at night. The bath felt chilly at first in winter, but warmed up nicely once we soaked.

The owner had the house very clean, and the living room and bedrooms were heated. The bath water was nice and warm, so it took the chill away as soon as I got in. It's right by the old street and very close to Jinlin Lake. They send the key box combination and check-in code the day before, which made arrival easy.

The room was roomy and comfortable, and the hot spring was a nice feature. It's near Kinrin Lake and the shopping district, with parking right in front and convenient smart check-in. Breakfast isn't provided, and the shopping street in front gets crowded, so drive carefully.
