Yuhira Onsen is a rustic, retro hot spring resort. Press the subtitle or CC button to enjoy full subtitles. Hello everyone, this is Watatabi. This time, I’m staying at a retro hot spring resort in Oita Prefecture. All of the accommodations are highly rated on Google reviews. Located in the center of Oita Prefecture, Yufuin Town, formerly part of Oita County, I’m staying at Yuhira Onsen, the inner sanctum of the charming Yufuin town, with its cobblestone slopes along the Hanagono River. On my way, I’ll be touring the surrounding scenic spots. As I travel deeper into the mountains, everyday life recedes into the distance, and nature unfolds before me. I wonder what kind of scenery awaits me in the mountains of Oita Prefecture? I’m looking forward to it. We’re almost there. Just 200 meters away. I’ve arrived at the parking lot. This is the Yufugawa Gorge. I visited here two or three years ago. It’s a short walk from the parking lot. Parking is free. This is it. Personally, I think it’s the most beautiful place in Oita Prefecture. The temperature is around 5-6 degrees, so it’s quite cold. If you go down these stairs in one go, you’ll see a spectacular view. This is it. It descends about 60 meters. It rained last night, so the water level might be high. You can go down into the river, but that might not be possible today. I can see some impressive rock walls. I remember being impressed when I came here a couple of years ago, so I decided to come back. It’s nice to go down, but the way back is a pain. Wow, it’s amazing! I’m already getting goosebumps. It’s amazing… You can go down even further from here, but this is the view you can see now. We’ve arrived. This is the Yufugawa Gorge. The Yufugawa Gorge is a magnificent gorge stretching approximately 12 kilometers, spanning the cities of Beppu and Yufu in Oita Prefecture. The Yufugawa River carved out this deep valley over tens of thousands of years, creating sheer rock walls 15 to 60 meters high. The sight of over 40 waterfalls cascading down the rock face like threads is so beautiful it’s like a natural work of art, earning it the nickname “Tyrol of the East.” This V-shaped gorge stretches for 12km, with heights ranging from 15m to 60m. I wasn’t as impressed as I was the first time I came here. Maybe my eyes have become more discerning. Apparently , a three-minute walk to the right reveals this magnificent view, while a 50-minute walk to the left reveals the ethereal beauty of the gorge. By the way, the current temperature is 5°C. If you’re going to come, I think summer is the best time, with the greenery even more vibrant. I really want to show everyone this natural beauty, so I’ll put on my boots and go again. Oh man…it’s painful to think of having to climb those stairs again to go back. Well, I’m off. Boots are a necessity in this season. My feet will be freezing. Looking back, this is the path. There are no bears in Kyushu, so I can proceed safely. You can see a bridge over there, and the view spot is just below it. It gets quite deep from here, so even boots might not be enough. There are stairs here, but you could previously access it from the parking lot. It’s been off-limits since my first visit. The water is so clear. Boots barely make it here. Even boots barely make it . Let’s take a look from those stairs. Amazing. This is it. Each time I follow the river, the scenery slowly reveals its true form. The eroded rock walls that suddenly appear from deep within the gentle current create a breathtaking form of beauty. The view I’d vaguely imagined beyond the river now comes to life with an overwhelming presence. The sound of water echoing in the silence, the mossy rock faces, the deep scent of greenery. It all harmonizes like a painting. This mystery is captivatingly beautiful, yet at the same time, it even sends a chill down my spine. The beauty of this valley continues beyond. This is it. There’s an old bridge over the bridge, and the moss-covered scenery and natural beauty blend beautifully with it, creating a truly beautiful scene. The view from the parking lot is unimaginable. In the summer, I could go in without a second thought, but the temperature outside is only 5 degrees, so I can’t. I’d like to come back in the summer if I have the chance. Now, back to the parking lot. This morning, rather than good exercise, it was excessive. I needed a donation. I’ll put in 100 yen. Here I am, 100 yen. There’s a canyon teahouse here. There’s also a restroom. This is the restroom. Now, let’s head to our next destination. It’s 9.4 km from here, and we’ll arrive in 14 minutes. Google Navigation always takes us to strange places. There must be a normal road out there… What is this road… Wow, what a peaceful place. This unassuming country road is so relaxing. We’re almost there. Is this it? Yes, this is it. Wait a minute, I didn’t recognize it. It’s this way. This is a little hard to find. We arrived at Ryusho Falls. There’s a parking fee box in front of this house, so I put 200 yen in. The entrance is right next to the parking lot, so I’ll go there. It seems like Ryusho Falls, with a 25-meter drop, appears once we exit the tunnel. Surrounded by rice fields, a main road and a convenience store beside it, it’s surprising how such a spectacular view could exist in such a place. This is it. It seems like it’s about a five-minute walk from here. It’s a bit more walking than I thought. It seems like we’re descending all the way from here. There’s still a lot more to go down. It feels like the ground is getting slippery, so I’ll go slowly. There are handrails, so I think it’s okay. I can hear the sound of the river flowing. A tunnel. It’s narrow! Passing through the Ryusho Falls Tunnel, two beautiful waterfalls with a 25-meter drop appear before my eyes. The sight of the two waterfalls gushing down at the same time toward the pool is breathtaking. Amazing! Wow… this is incredible! From the main road, you wouldn’t expect a place like this to exist. It’s truly amazing. You can get right up close. This area is surrounded by large rock walls. We passed through this tunnel. Is this a natural hole? It’s a really beautiful hole. Now, let’s head back to the parking lot and into the hot spring town. This tunnel is exciting. We’re back. As it says, it’s a spectacular view that can be seen in about five minutes. I highly recommend it. Now, let’s head toward the hot spring town. We enjoy the tranquil mountain scenery. We’re two kilometers away. We’ve arrived, but there are lots of cars. I wonder if there’s anywhere to park? The parking lot was full, so we headed toward the temporary parking lot. It seems to be about three minutes from here. This is it. We arrived, but first we walked to the entrance to the hot spring town. We’ve arrived . This is Yunohira Onsen . I’ve been there once before, but I’ve never stayed overnight, so I came back. This is one of the Yufuin hot spring resorts. It began as a hot spring resort during the Edo period, but its hot springs have a history of over 800 years since their source first emerged. The hot springs have a history of over 800 years. Yunohira Onsen has five public baths and about 19 accommodations. I checked on Google Maps, so the number may not be accurate. The public baths are Kin no Yu, Gin no Yu, Naka no Yu, Suna Yu, and Hashimoto Onsen. Now, let’s take a stroll around the hot spring town. A river flows alongside the hot spring town , making it a hot spring area prone to flooding and natural disasters. It’s lovely. No matter how many times I come, this scenery is soothing. Just inside the entrance, there’s a cobblestone road, preserving the beauty of old Japan. This is the tourist information center. There were no people strolling around, but all the inns here are highly rated on Google Maps. This is the public bath, Gin no Yu. I think there used to be a foot bath here, but it seems to be closed now. It costs 300 yen for adults and 100 yen for children, and is open from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. There are no showers, shampoo, or conditioner. The townscape seems to stand still in time. Music is playing in this hot spring town. There are a lot of inns. This must be a really popular hot spring town. Are there inns up here too? Wow, what a huge staircase. Just walking around makes me a little out of breath. It seems there’s a place called “Fureai Hall” here. Oh! I’ve come out to the river. It looks like this. The building on the opposite bank of the river is a public bath called “Sunayu,” but Google Maps says it’s temporarily closed. I wonder? Shall we go? Apparently, Sunayu was washed away by flooding. Wow… what a steep slope… There are vacant lots here and there; maybe buildings were washed away. The townscape is truly amazing. There’s also a restaurant. I didn’t have time to look around properly last time, so it’s fun to take my time looking around like this. I’ve come out to a retro place. This is a public bath called “Kin no Yu.” Its opening hours are the same as Gin no Yu. There’s a large lantern with “Yuhira Onsen” written on it. I wonder if they hold festivals here? I think it’ll be lit up at night, so I’d like to take a stroll again at night. This place doesn’t seem to be open. Kin no Yu is next to this closed inn. That means the public bath I was at earlier was Naka no Yu. Kin no Yu seems to be on the opposite bank, but it’s currently closed due to flooding. There used to be a bridge here. This is a souvenir shop. It’s currently under renovation. I imagine it will be reborn as a new inn. This is a fine inn. This place also has a lot of charm. I think there used to be a foot bath here, but it was dried up the last time I was here. I wonder if it’s still open? This building seems to be Kin no Yu. This is the foot bath, but…there’s no hot water in it… What is this? What happens if I put money in it? Does putting money in here fill the foot bath with water? Of course not. Lol, this is the inn. The cobblestone road continues on and on. I’m sure there was a shrine or temple up ahead. This looks like a nice inn too. “A healing inn” – I’m sure only guests staying overnight come this far. Well, since I’ve come all this way, I’ll climb a little further. It seems the hot spring at this inn goes all the way down. Just heading to the hot spring is exciting. Up ahead are private homes. There are probably a few inns, but I think the hot spring town ends around there. So, I’ll turn back and take a stroll around the hot spring town. Hello. Hello. His fur is amazing. He must be from a nice neighborhood, his fur is so beautiful. He ‘s suddenly become so friendly. He’s shy. I’ve come back to the bridge. I can still go straight, so I’ll go straight. I like this walkway. Is this one closed? The house has become a forest. There are some very impressive inns around here. Is it the stove? I can smell the nostalgic smell of oil. There are a few closed inns outside the hot spring town. This inn has a lot of character. Up ahead is a residential area. There are so many nice inns, it’s hard to decide which one to stay at. I’m back in the parking lot. The slopes in this hot spring town definitely get me out of breath. It’s a very charming and lovely hot spring town. I feel like this has something that Kurokawa Onsen and Yufuin have lost. I wanted to head to my lodgings for the night, but I’ve seen some lodgings in this area featured on YouTube, so I decided to stay at a ryokan just a three-minute drive from here. That’s the building over there. We’ve arrived. This is Oku Yunohira Hanaakari, a ryokan with open-air baths in every room. Let’s check in. This is the front desk, and this is the lounge. There’s a hearth just to the right . There’s a foot bath in front of the lounge. You can soak your feet in this bath while enjoying the spectacular view. Next to the foot bath, there’s a yukata rental area. There are many different types of yukata available. Free coffee is also available in the lounge. These are the sweets that come with the kimono. To the left of the front desk is the dining area. I just left the main building, and there are a row of rental lodgings like this. At the end of this hall is the open-air bath. I’m staying in a room called “Ume Momo.” Let’s take a look. The entrance is very spacious, and there’s what smells like tea leaves. The moment you enter the entrance, you’re hit with the lovely aroma of tea leaves. On the immediate left is the room. This is the room. There are two beds and a relaxing space here. To the right of this is a Japanese-style room with a kotatsu table. This is nice. Just to the right… this is the open-air bath. Let’s take a look. This is the sink. Towels are provided. There are also amenities around here. There’s a hair dryer here, as well as women’s lotions and other amenities. There ‘s a hair dryer here, as well as women’s lotions and other amenities. Right next to the sink… this is the toilet. Directly behind the sink… ah, there’s also an indoor bath. It seems they fill this with hot spring water before you go in. So it’s not filled with water right now. So, this is it. Amazing. The view in front of you is spectacular. The hot spring town is located around here, so you can’t see it, but the view is something like this. The sun seems to rise from around here in the morning, so I’m looking forward to tomorrow morning. The open-air bath looks like this. It’s an open-air bath with a natural hot spring, but the water temperature is a little on the hot side. The lever on the left is for hot spring water, and the lever on the right is for cold water. You can adjust the temperature by adding cold water with the lever on the right. The Japanese-style room is in front of me, and the window on this side is for the Western-style room, so even if I’m lazing around here, I can easily check in. So, it’s a Japanese-Western style room like this. There’s a refrigerator. There’s nothing in it. There’s coffee here. There’s an air purifier and an air conditioner here. Tabi socks. And are there towels in here? There ‘s a body towel inside. There are two bath towels and a yukata. But it wasn’t a yukata. I’m so hungry, I’m looking for snacks in my room. There aren’t any. I’m starving. There’s no guidebook for the building, but check-in is at 3 PM and check-out is at 10 AM. There’s a guide to nearby tourist attractions here. Wow, amazing. It has a nice atmosphere. There are aquariums and museums listed. Isn’t this Miyazaki Prefecture? It’s a bit far from here. There’s also information about nearby tourist spots. Dinner starts at 6 PM, and breakfast is at 8 AM, so it’s a little late for breakfast. So, let’s get started on this open-air bath. It’s hot! It’s incredibly hot. It’s hot, but I’m enjoying the hot spring water. It’s quite hot, but I can still bathe without adding water. It seems to be around 43 or 44 degrees. The hot spring is colorless and transparent. It has a nice alkaline smell. It ‘s not particularly smooth or smooth. The view is obscured by the screen, but there’s a spectacular view right next to it. All rooms have their own open-air bath, so it’s truly luxurious. Now that I’m warmed up, I’ll try the open-air bath over there. First, I’ll ask if I can take photos. Since I got permission, I’ll take some photos of this open-air bath. It’s open from 3 PM to 10 PM, and from 6 AM to 9:30 AM. This is the changing room. It looks like this. Water is also available. It’s really nice that you don’t need to bring a towel. The spring water here is alkaline and simple. The source temperature is 58.6 degrees. The water temperature at the source is 51 degrees. I wonder if they add a little water? It’s amazing! It feels so good. It’s just the right temperature. I think it’s about 41 degrees. The view is truly spectacular. This is amazing. You don’t often get to enjoy an open-air bath like this. It’s absolutely amazing. There’s no washing area, so you wash in the bath in your room and then come here. Of all the hot springs I’ve been to this year, this one has the best location. I took a bath. It’s truly amazing. This is the towel I used. There are two buildings, and this building has an open-air bath facing this way. This building has an open-air bath facing the mountain. When I made my reservation, I really struggled to decide which room to choose, but there were only two rooms available. There was a map of the building, or rather, an evacuation route, at the entrance. There are only eight buildings, so I think that’s why they were fully booked. I’m staying in this room in the main building. Only two rooms have a view. I wonder if the rest of the rooms have mountain views? Judging from the photos, this room was also very nice. The best room is called “Sanzashi.” I think it was only about 5,000 yen more. This room has a massage chair, so you can relax. Since I have some time before dinner, I’m relaxing in the kotatsu. I’m glad the kotatsu is small. If it were bigger, I would definitely sleep in it instead of in my bed. There’s nothing around, so all I can do is soak in the hot springs, but I’m starving… I haven’t eaten anything since 10:30. I’m starving. For lunch today, I ate the bento I bought last evening. I can’t wait until dinnertime. Since there’s still time before dinner, I’d like to see the cityscape at night. It’s dinnertime. It’s really cold. It’s a private room. They even provided a lap blanket, which is very appreciated . Since we’re on a hill, it’s gotten quite chilly. Dinner was like this. First, here’s the appetizer. This is chestnut potage, and this is “soy milk cured ham with persimmon sauce.” “Mushrooms with sesame vinegar dressing,” “Conger eel sushi,” and “grilled barracuda with yuan,” moon-flavored eggs, and ginkgo sweet potato yokan. Let’s eat . I’ll start with the barracuda. ​​Delicious. Barracuda has no strong flavor, does it? Barracuda is in season in the fall. Ah, delicious. I don’t know what it is, but it’s delicious. Lol ? Potato? I don’t know what it is, but it’s delicious. Lol Even though it’s so small, it has a strong potato flavor and is sticky. Conger eel sushi. It’s so delicious I’m so hungry. Lol This is prosciutto. This is the persimmon sauce. It has a strong soy milk flavor, but the prosciutto flavor is also very strong, and the persimmon sauce goes well with it. Mushrooms with sesame vinegar dressing. The mushrooms are tossed in a tangy sesame sauce and are very delicious. This is chestnut potage. This is potage. It’s very thick. A rich potage. By the way, rice is being cooked in a corner of the room. It’s cooked in a pot. The sashimi has arrived. Shrimp, amberjack, tuna, and squid. This is a brand of salmon called Yufuin Salmon. I’ve never heard of it before. I’ve heard of foam soy sauce before, but this is foam salt, a fluffy salt. I’ve never tried anything like it. It’s not that salty. Kyushu soy sauce is really delicious. It’s very fatty. It’s good. The tuna is just regular tuna. This soy sauce might taste better without the wasabi. Another stylish dish has arrived. The sauce underneath is pumpkin puree. Next is roasted flounder and meat spring rolls. It melts in your mouth the moment you put it in your mouth. It has an Italian flavor. It’s eel and eggplant with Rikyu bean paste. Rikyu bean paste is apparently a sesame paste. The thing in the center is eel. There was eggplant underneath the eel. The eggplant and sesame are so prominent that it’s hard to taste the eel. Shall we just eat the eel? Oh, it’s delicious! So tasty! This is the last dish. It’s so shiny. Shrimp, amberjack, tuna, squid. This is so luxurious. So tender! So delicious. The meat has a strong flavor. I like my food grilled, so I did it well. Nothing beats meat. Dessert arrived. This is “Yunohira Ice Cream.” This is tea chiffon. This is “Cream Cheese Riche Mousse.” It’s a mousse made with sake lees and cream cheese. It really tastes of sake lees. So delicious, so smooth. It really tastes of sake lees. Thank you for the meal. It was so good. It just felt a little lacking. I almost wanted one more dish. By the way, this meal was the standard plan, and I wish I had upgraded. It’s cold. My body is cold, so I’ll warm up in the room bath. It’s the best. It’s pitch black outside, so I can’t see the view. My body is warm. Maybe it’s because of the temperature difference and the high temperature of the spring, but my body is bright red. I ate a delicious meal, soaked in the hot spring, and my body is warm, so I think I’ll go to bed. Good morning. It’s morning, and the sunrise is incredibly beautiful. I’m going to head to the open-air bath now. It’s so red. Amazing! So beautiful. I never thought I’d be able to bathe in an open-air bath with such a spectacular view. The sun is taking so long to rise. I can see the sunrise from my room’s open-air bath, so I ‘ll watch it from there. It’s amazing to be able to watch the sunrise from my room’s open-air bath . It’s just after 7 o’clock, and the sun has finally risen. It’s so bright. Up ahead, several mountains overlap, creating a truly fantastical landscape. The sun is so bright. It’s time for breakfast, so I’ll head to the dining area. It’s so cold. Breakfast looks like this. What is this? What is this? Isn’t it miso soup? It has some really thick, kishimen-like noodles in it. This is apparently dango soup. Let’s eat. Amazing. It’s boiled sea bream. The noodles are really thick. Like udon? There are so many varieties. The simmered sea bream is the best of all the simmered fish dishes. This is my third bowl of rice. I devoured this rice container. It’s so bouncy. It bounces like a super ball. lol Thank you for the meal. The food here is delicious. The breakfast was hearty. I was going to check out after breakfast, but I wanted to take another bath, so I went to the open-air bath. Being able to bathe whenever I want is really nice. I also went to the hot spring. I’m about ready to check out, but first, I thought it was really great that this entire rental inn has an open-air bath in every room. Even the shared open-air bath was great, being able to bathe in the great outdoors was great. The food was delicious, and the presentation was beautiful. As for the price of this rental room, it was 59,400 yen for one night and two days, including breakfast and dinner. That makes it 29,700 yen per person. Of course, the price varies depending on the room, but I wonder what the cheapest price would be? I think it’s a little cheaper. You can also stay overnight without meals, and it cost 39,600 yen for two adults, so you can stay for less than 20,000 yen per person. I think it’s a reasonable price for a rental house with a spectacular view. Even though it’s a weekday, there are a lot of reservations, so if there’s a room you want to stay in, it’s best to check and book immediately. Now, let’s check out. This time we stayed at Yunohira Onsen in Oita Prefecture. What did you think? You can spend some quiet time there, so please do visit. See you in the next video! Thank you for watching until the end.

大分県の山間にひっそりと佇む湯平温泉に宿泊します。
石畳の坂道と古い町並みが続く温泉街は、まるで『千と千尋の神隠し』の世界のよう。
アニメ『すずめの戸締まり』のモデルになったとも言われており、どこか時が止まったような日本の原風景が残っています。
しかし、これほど情緒ある場所にもかかわらず、観光客の姿はほとんどありません。
口コミでは高評価が多く、気になって今回訪れることにしました。
