GEMS YUFUIN (HOTEL / CAFE)
"Location: Convenient choice next to Yufuin Station"
The location of GEMS YUFUIN is almost unbeatable - exit JR Yufuin Station, stay on the left side of the pedestrian walkway and walk for one minute. Such convenience is undoubtedly a major advantage for passengers dragging suitcases, families, and large and small bags. What’s even better is that the surroundings of the hotel are well-equipped, with a 7-11 on the rear left and a Watson’s diagonally opposite, making supplies during travel a breeze. For visitors without a car, this is the perfect place to stay in Tarpaulin.
"Accommodation space: modern and comfortable, family-friendly"
Unlike most accommodations in Yufuin that focus on traditional Japanese style, GEMS YUFUIN adopts a simple modern design. The room is spacious and has smooth circulation. Not only can you easily open your suitcase, but it also has a small living room, which makes the guests feel more at home. The 2A room type we stayed in was equipped with modern equipment such as a refrigerator, a microwave, and an air purifier. It even had a bathtub, so the fatigue of the day's journey disappeared in the hot water. For families with children or travelers traveling with friends, this design is just right, being spacious yet cozy.
"Hot Spring Experience: Novel and Practical Small Hot Spring Pool"
Although the hot spring facilities of GEMS YUFUIN are small in scale, they are well-equipped and stand out for their novel facilities. The internal configuration includes a hot pool, a cold pool, an oven, and four clean and tidy shower rooms, allowing every traveler to enjoy a private bathing time. Although it doesn't have the atmosphere of an open-air pool or surrounded by mountain views, the hot spring water here is certified as a true natural hot spring, with a moderate and soothing water temperature. The bathhouse is arranged for men and women to use it at different times to meet the needs of different tourists. This small hot spring is a quiet corner during a busy journey.
"Catering: A simple but warm start to the morning"
Breakfast is a small surprise that makes you feel at ease - hot pressed toast is paired with a drink, offering two flavors: sweet and salty: red bean filling for sweet, and cheese for salty. Although it is not rich, for unsophisticated travelers, this kind of breakfast is enough to bring a good mood for the day. Of course, if you want to taste more Yufuin cuisine, the service staff can always provide good recommendations.
"Service: Delicate and warm, making people feel cordial"
GEMS YUFUIN's service is known for its friendly service. One of the staff members from Taiwan was particularly enthusiastic. In addition to familiarly introducing the hotel facilities, he also took the initiative to recommend Yufuin's delicacies to us, such as the popular local barbecue restaurant. This kind of interaction upgrades the hotel from a cold place to stay to a more humane journey.
"Value for money: mid-range price, a wise choice for family travel"
At a price of about NT$5,000 per night, including breakfast and hot spring facilities, GEMS YUFUIN is a mid-range hotel in Yufuin and a great value for money. Unlike most hot spring hotels that focus on the couples market, this place is extremely friendly to family travelers. Its spacious rooms, convenient location, and complete facilities make it an accommodation choice not to be missed.
