This place was so cute and so much fun! It was a very relaxing weekend thanks to the staff and the cats. The establishment is cash only and you pay ¥1,000 yen per day for cat cafe access. Each morning your cat treats are restocked and you are left with a little snack as well to enjoy while playing with the cats. I will admit, the road to the hotel is a little rough, but that is bo flaw to the establishment. The staff are very kind, attentive, and accomodating. The room was also spacious and beautiful. I hope one day I may go back.

Excellent ryokan with super friendly staff, we really enjoyed our stay. The cats are cute and well taken care of, the baths are great and the room is pleasant. There is one caveat that needs to be mentioned: This is a cat-*themed* ryokan centered around the cats in the cat cafe that it hosts. The cafe is located inside the ryokan but acts as a separate entity and requires separate payment onsite. Very recommended for cat lovers! :3

Cat people reunite!

Where can I start? B&B and cat cafe and hot spring all in one? I was truly in heaven. Cats and owners are true winners. Away from main traffic, stores and restaurants. All I heard was local train goes by every hour or so. Cute sweets and well balanced breakfast. I really didn't want to leave.

ねこカフェが併設してあるとのことで、ねこが好きなので泊まりたいと思いました。 露天風呂も3つあり、家族で入れます。 部屋には色々とねこのグッズ⁉︎時計や布団カバーや加湿器、ティッシュカバーが籐の籠だったりトイレの壁紙がねこ柄だったりと可愛かったです。 猫ちゃん達も可愛かったです。癒されました。最初に猫ちゃんの名前とそれぞれの特徴やこれがダメでこう触ると喜ぶなど説明があり、よかったです。 朝食前に時間があるので、その時間にも猫ちゃん達のところに行けるといいなぁと思いましたが、猫ちゃん達も休む時間がないといけないですもんね… 帰りは最後に入り口のところで記念に写真を撮って下さいました。ありがとうございました。 また機会があれば行きたいです

民宿主人很有禮貌、民宿以貓做主題、有貓房可以和貓貓玩樂。房間整潔舒適但房內只有洗手間，沒有浴室，如洗澡需要去溫泉。早餐好吃，需額外加購。

Very nice owners, clean structure with private onsens. It's a bit outside Yufuin so it's very recommended if you have a car. Nice room, a bit expensive compared to a similar structure. You will appreciate many aspects of the structure if you're a cat lover.

旅館主人十分友善親切，不厭其煩地對向每個入住的人講解，房間整潔整齊。溫泉有分室內和室外，每次只可以一組人使用，有私人風呂感。室內溫泉也很漂亮，有落地大玻璃可欣賞窗外景觀。喵喵們很可愛，好想有多點時間跟他們玩！
