Kamenoi Besso

I was truly impressed by your gracious hospitality and thoughtful service. Your attention to ingredients and tableware was evident, and the carefully prepared dishes were absolutely delicious. The beautifully maintained garden and Room were very relaxing, the air conditioning was just right, and for the first time in a while I slept deeply through the night. The hot spring water quality was excellent, and the Ohagi from Kagiya was also wonderful. Enjoying morning coffee in the courtyard during the fresh green season was a truly happy moment. It’s rare to find an Accommodation this flawless, isn’t it? This is an Accommodation I especially want hardworking people to stay at. It helped me recover from fatigue and made me feel ready to do my best again starting tomorrow. Thank you very much for your wonderful service.

I had been wanting to stay at Kamenoi Bessou for a long time, and I finally had the chance this trip. Although it’s near Lake Kinrin and the area is busy with tourists, the moment we stepped into the Ryokan, all the bustle faded away—it felt like entering a completely different world. Every staff member provided outstanding service and showed thoughtful attention to even the smallest details. For dinner, we chose the garden counter kappo. The dishes were not only delicious but also beautifully presented, and even though I don’t have a big appetite, I was able to finish everything. The final dish was bamboo shoot takikomi rice, and it was the most refined flavor I’ve ever tasted in my life. The couple seated on both sides of us were also wonderful people, and it seemed they return to this Accommodation regularly. They told us—first-time guests—that the breakfast bread is especially good. I usually choose Japanese breakfast in the morning, but following their recommendation, we ordered one Western-style and one Japanese-style breakfast and shared them between us. And yes—the bread really was excellent. From around 9:00 p.m., there was a one-hour classical record listening session in the lounge. The harmony of crackling firewood from the fireplace and music playing from records felt like something you could only experience at this Accommodation. Of course there was an Onsen as well, but this place offered so much more than that alone. When I visit Yufuin again, I would love to stay here again.
