Ryokan highlights

A small Yufuin onsen ryokan with detached cottages, private spring baths, and Mt. Yufu views.

Mt. Yufu ViewsMany areas and select rooms face the dramatic Yufu mountain range.
Private Onsen BathsAll rooms include a private open-air or semi-open-air hot spring bath.
Detached Cottage StayJust 10 standalone cottages create a quiet, low-density ryokan atmosphere.
Spacious GroundsThe 7,600-square-meter setting feels secluded and surrounded by Yufuin nature.
Local Oita CuisineThe ryokan highlights meals made with ingredients from Oita.
Easy Yufuin AccessAbout 7 minutes from Yufuin Interchange and 5 minutes from Yufuin Station.

Who is this ryokan best for?

Recommended stay1-2 nightsScenery and private-bath time are the main reason to stay here, so one night works well for check-in, kaiseki dinner, evening bath, breakfast, and a short Yufuin outing; two nights make sense only if you want a slower onsen rhythm or are driving nearby Oita sights.
Trip-planning verdict: Best as a quiet upscale Yufuin onsen retreat for 1–2 nights, not as a walk-everywhere sightseeing base.

Know before booking

Car or taxi helpsIt is only about 5 minutes from Yufuin Station by car, but there is no shuttle and the setting is not station-convenient.
Limited long-stay densityYufuin is pleasant for a short stay, but this ryokan is more about baths, meals, and views than filling several full sightseeing days nearby.
Dinner timing mattersDinner is served at a set evening time, so arriving late can reduce the value of staying here.

Access, transport and nearby sights

Ikkoten is a hillside ryokan in Yufuin best reached from JR Yufuin Station or Yufuin Bus Center, with Oita Airport being the most practical airport for most travelers.

Should you choose this ryokan?

A small upscale ryokan in Yufuin with only 10 rooms, private open-air baths in every room, and strong Mt. Yufu scenery. It is especially appealing for travelers who want privacy and a calm retreat, but less ideal if you want walkable convenience or flexible late arrivals.

5 reasons to choose this ryokan best points
  • Private open-air bath in every roomEvery guest room comes with its own private open-air or semi-open-air bath, which makes the stay feel much more exclusive and relaxing than a standard ryokan.
  • Beautiful Mt. Yufu viewsSeveral baths and rooms are positioned to face Mt. Yufu, giving the property a strong sense of place that fits the Yufuin onsen experience especially well.
  • Spacious detached cottagesThe room lineup includes detached cottages and villa-style layouts, so you get more privacy, more quiet, and more space than in a compact inn building.
  • Strong food focus with local Oita ingredientsDinner centers on kaiseki using regional products such as Oita beef, Bungo seafood, and local produce, which makes the meal a real part of the stay rather than an afterthought.
  • Good option for travelers with dogsSome villas are pet-friendly and the ryokan has dog-run facilities, making it unusually attractive for travelers who want an onsen-style stay without leaving their dog behind.
5 reasons not to choose this ryokan watch-outs
  • Not ideal without a carAlthough it is only a short drive from JR Yufuin Station, there is no shuttle service, so access is less convenient if you are arriving by train with luggage.
  • Early last check-inLast check-in is relatively early at 5:00 p.m., which can be restrictive if you are traveling across Kyushu on the same day or want a slower sightseeing schedule.
  • Small property with limited room inventoryWith only 10 rooms in total, your preferred room type may be hard to secure, especially if you want a specific layout, Mt. Yufu view, or pet-friendly option.
  • Dining may feel structuredDinner and breakfast are served at set times, so this ryokan suits travelers who enjoy a traditional rhythm more than those who prefer a flexible schedule.
  • Probably too quiet for action-focused tripsThe appeal here is seclusion, cottages, baths, and scenery, so travelers looking for nightlife, shopping-heavy stays, or a lively town-center atmosphere may find it too secluded.
