The villa's design beautifully blends traditional Japanese charm with modern comfort, creating a tranquil retreat that felt like a home away from home. The views of Yufuin’s stunning natural scenery were breathtaking, and the private onsen was an absolute highlight—a truly rejuvenating experience.

The only minor challenge I experienced was the absence of a shower facility in the main building. On my first day, it was raining, and it was a bit chaotic to manage my belongings with an umbrella in my pajama after the bath while attempting not to get wet. Perhaps this is something to consider for the future, as it would make an already excellent experience even more seamless.

The rooms are comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and one can prepare a full meal with ingredients from nearby supermarket. The private onsen is really spacious and comfortable even though we visited in the middle of summer and not exactly the best time for soaking in hot onsen. Location of this premises is secluded enough and yet centrally located (walking distance) to all the attractions - very suitable for my 77 year old mother who prefers to "walk just enough" everyday (10,000 steps).

Insects (mosquitoes) can be seen and felt in and around the house, especially in the evening. This being summer in Japan, it's understandable. I'll recommend "basking" the entire premises, especially the entrances and sliding doors facing outside of the house, with insecticide (provided by villa) upon check-in, including the entire onsen area. Also, getting insect repellent patches obviously help for individuals who are susceptible to mosquito bites. Not much privacy even with the room doors closed as walls and doors are thin. Also, 2 rooms cannot be completely closed as they do not have their own air-con unit.

The place was spacious, cosy and clean, perfect for a group. Comes with a good collection of toileteries and amenities so one doesn’t have to bring much. The hot spring was ready for use and the water was already in the right temperature when we arrived. The apartment was by the river and was just a few minutes walk from the main street. Overall a very enjoyable stay, would love to stay here again in our next visit.

The location was a bit far from the train/bus station but the walk to the apartment was easy and nice. Also, the bathroom was outside of the main house by the hot spring.

Gensen is located very close to Yufuin floral village, walking street and lake Kirin. There are parking place for 3 cars. There are 3 big rooms which can accommodate upto 10-12 peoples. However there are only 2 toilets in the house.

It would be nice to have baht room inside the house. I also recommend to have washing and drying machine to facilitate guest.

Lovely house with Japanese tatami style which is able to hold 8 people! Host is super nice and response very quickly! The private onsen is sooooooo nice and we all love our stay!

The only one thing we are not aware of (our bad!) is that there is no shower place in the main house... so we need to go outdoor into the onsen small house to shower despite it was quite cold at night during our visit...

- size of the room is great - individual hot spring is located in the backyard and must try - location, location, location, very good

- full self-service check-in service. The front door is not easy to open with the key, and also need to spend extra time to find out the bathroom is located in the backyard

Spacious, fantastic location - quite unbeatable for a villa in Yufuin! Kitchen was well stocked with the minimal essentials required to cook a meal, and the supermarket is just a 7 minute walk away. Hot spring bathhouse was wonderful too, with great shower amenities.

Situated at the crossroad of various popular walking/driving paths, those in the villa can hear loud tourists/cars passing by.

Amazing location, so much room, the views were stunning, and the place was so clean. Truly a great experience. T Staying g in YUFUIN would not have been the same in a hotel. This made our trip extra special.

we had a good barbeque(top up option) night in a nice villa! good value of the place and both indoor/outdoor onsens as well! meanwhile, it located really near to Kirin Lake. worth to stay.

the air conditioner is noisy with its engine.

The property is big and spacious, very clean, easy access to shops and restaurants, surrounding areas are quite and peaceful. Has its own private onsen.

But it only has one shower which is outside and we have 6 people, it would be nice to have an indoor shower as well
