This ryokan is located in Yunohira which is quite far from city. If you would like to find remote area away from turbulence where you can laidback and forget all the problems. This is the answer. It’s my second time coming here and may it be next. The owners took care of us very well. Breakfast and dinner were exceptional. The 4 private Onsens were well maintained. Our room were spacious and had android TV with WiFi. 
Give this ryokan a try , and you will fall in love with it just like us.

Peaceful, great meal , heartwarming vibes

Very good hospitality. The staff is nice, helpful and always with a happy smile. I stayed here for two nights. Each meals are vary and delicious. The hot springs are excellent and i felt very relaxed and had very leisure moments during my stay.

Good hospitality. Wonderful

I stayed here for two nights while driving around Kyushu. Absolutely beautiful Ryokan in a lovely little town. Provided a delicious breakfast and dinner (and a lot of it!). There are four private onsen of different sizes, two indoor and two outdoor which are lovely. Highly recommended. 

Beautiful Ryokan

Our stay at Ryokan Yamashiroya was absolutely perfect, from the moment we walked through the door! It is such a peaceful environment and the perfect place to relax. We loved lounging in our Yukatas and enjoying the many onsen baths, a good variety of outdoor and indoor. The food was absolutely incredible, each dish so varied and delicious!! Our room and the whole house was so cosy, it really felt like home. The hosts were very kind and welcoming and we were very grateful to be picked up and dropped off at the local train station. We can’t wait to return again some day!

An idyllic retreat!

10/10, I would come again and highly recommend to travel to Yunohira to stay here. I wanted a laidback, relaxing ryokan and onsen experience. I saw many great reviews about this ryokan. It exceeded expectations in every aspect. It was also easy to book and arrive at the inn.  I felt so happy, relaxed, and calm during my stay, and was sad when it was time to leave. Sharing some logistics and general info in case it is helpful:
-Yunohira has an onsen tradition that dates back hundreds of years. 
-arriving from Fukuoka, I took the scenic Yufuin-no-Mori train first to Yufuin. Sit on the right side (Hakata to Yufuin) for the best views. It books up fast so secure tickets ahead of time. Otherwise you can take a regular train. 
-local train from Yufuin to Yunohira, at time of writing one-way is 280 yen. Buy a round trip ticket at Yufuin to make it easier, since the Yunohira station is unmanned. If you forget, no problem, the ryokan explains how to purchase your return ticket. When arriving in Yunohira sit in the first car as that is the only car where doors open upon arrival. 
-the kind proprietor can provide you timetables with the arrival to Yunohira and will pick you up from the train station! It is a quick car ride to the inn, with beautiful views including a waterfall 
-i couldn’t find availability for the hotel online so I emailed their email address, and was able to secure a reservation with them directly for 2 nights. 
-breakfast and dinner was included for my stay. I brought some items for light lunch (onigiri, ramen). I’m not sure if there are many, if any, restaurants in town, but the inn did ask if I needed help with lunch. You may consider to get some snacks and lunch items in Yufuin (7/11, grocery stores etc). There was a fridge in my room. 
-a few temples and sights for a nice 1-2 hour wander and walk around the town. 

The highlights:
-kind proprietors and staff. Easy to communicate in English. When used some Japanese phrases, they were very gracious! Hiromi-san is a second generation proprietor which I find to be very charming and special. They also converted the former Yunohira post office into part of their inn and retained the mailbox outside. 
-4 onsen baths , 2 outdoor and 2 indoor. Beautiful views of nature from the outdoor pools, and well styled indoor pools. I liked the pottery onsen the best. 
-lots of great info on the TV including how to wear yukata, how to use onsen, how to return to Yufuin, and about the inn. There is also monitoring of the onsen so you know which ones are available. 
-delicious dinners! I like to eat a large dinner, and the amount of delicious, well prepared food is impressive. Drink menu available with local craft beer and sake. Also, they were very accommodating of my food allergy. 
-during dinner time during my nights at the inn, I could hear happy laughter from the kitchen. What a beautiful sound! The staff is so cheerful! 
-beautiful yukata to use during your day. Hiromi-san offered to let me try a different yukata during my stay.. I was happy to get to wear another one since they were all so beautiful!
-fast wifi , YouTube app on the tv , video on demand on the tv. 

Thank you for a wonderful stay, and congratulations on a fantastic inn.

Must visit Ryokan

The amazing hosts made us feel very welcome and there’s a special warm feeling in this accommodation. The hosts gave us a ride to and from the train station, which worked great. There’s 4 lovely onsens inside the accommodation. The place feels like you’re at your grandma’s house, which is kind of nice but also it wouldn’t hurt if it was renovated a bit to a more modern style.

Lovely stay

정말 친절하시고 다시가고싶을만큼 좋은곳이었습니다. 부모님 모시고갔는데 다시가게 된다면 또 머물고싶다고 말씀하시네요.

kindful wonderful service

I and my husband were on a vacation and it was definitely ten out of ten. We hope to visit with our parents again. Pleasant stay, thank you!

Coundn't be better

This was the most beautiful ryokan stay. Food was absolutely fantastic, room was spaceous, hosts were welcoming. I definitely recommend it to everyone. Perfectly suitabpe for foreigners and single travellers.

From the host greeting you on arrival to leisurely chatting to you and seeing you off in the driveway. You really can't fault this place. Perhaps it's normal by Japanese hospitality standards and this is why people love visiting the country as well as what the area has to offer.Highly recommended to those seeking an experience to stay at a more traditional type of accomodation with enough privacy to access their facilities (hot springs) etc.
