Hotaru no Yado Sendou is a 16-room inn in central Yufuin, close enough to reach Kinrin Lake in about three minutes on foot. Its garden setting and small scale make it appealing to travelers who want easy sightseeing access without choosing a large resort. The official profile verifies natural, free-flowing onsen, open-air bathing and a private-bath option.
Tatami and Western room formats are available, with a garden outlook verified at property level. Seasonal kaiseki is also established. The exact mineral composition is absent from the frozen supplier record, and private-bath booking semantics remain unverified, so neither should be inferred. Confirm whether the desired bath belongs to the room, is shared, or requires a separate reservation.
Children are accepted in the frozen property-level snapshot, with age, meal and bedding rules still dependent on the plan. Check-in begins at 15:00 and checkout is at 11:00. Yufuin Station is about five minutes away by car. Verify dinner inclusion, bath timing, room style and the latest arrival route before payment.
