About

Yufuin is one of Japan's most fashionable onsen towns — a beautifully situated valley at the foot of Mt. Yufu with a strong art and craft culture distinct from Beppu's scale-and-spectacle approach. Where Beppu offers 3 million annual visitors and enormous resort hotels, Yufuin focuses on intimate boutique ryokans, French-influenced cuisine, small galleries, and a peaceful countryside atmosphere. Sanso Tamayu sits at the quieter western edge of the Yufuin basin, away from the busy Yufuin shopping street, offering private villa accommodations with outdoor baths, garden views toward Mt. Yufudake, and kaiseki meals featuring Oita's premium ingredients. An ideal retreat from both Beppu's crowds and Yufuin's own increasingly busy center.
