Musoen
Musoen (夢想園) is an elegant ryokan located just south of Yufuin, celebrated for its panoramic views of Mount Yufu (由布岳). Perched on a hillside, this refined retreat offers a truly immersive onsen experience, with expansive, gender-separated rotemburo (open-air baths) that overlook the mountain's twin peaks. The baths are designed to highlight the natural surroundings, allowing guests to soak in mineral-rich waters while gazing across the sweeping Yufuin Basin. The elevated setting not only provides a sense of seclusion, but also enhances the tranquil atmosphere, making it an ideal escape for those seeking relaxation in harmony with nature.
The ryokan’s meticulously landscaped gardens and traditional architecture reflect a deep appreciation for seasonal beauty. Cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, fiery foliage in autumn, and snow-dusted views in winter offer guests a constantly changing backdrop. Winding pathways lead through the manicured grounds to quiet resting spots and tea rooms, inviting moments of peaceful reflection. Indoors, the hospitality is equally refined, with elegant tatami rooms, seasonal kaiseki meals, and attentive service that embodies the spirit of Japanese omotenashi. Whether visiting for a day or staying overnight, Musoen provides a rich sensory experience steeped in tradition and natural splendor.
