1-minute walk from Yufuin and Kinrin Lake | Entire building · Natural hot spring villa with source spring water - Hibiki -
Just a 1-minute walk from Yufuin Kinrin Lake. The owner, who loves hot springs, bought the luxurious rental "Kinrin Lake Onsen Hibiki" because he fell in love with the quality of the spring. In August 2025, it was born as a high-quality, completely non-smoking space. The natural hot spring with a source spring is characterized by a thickness and softness that clings to the skin. After bathing, you will continue to feel moist and hydrated, and your body will be warm to the core. It is a special hot spring that has been reported to help people conceive. The bathrooms are designed by top designers, and you can enjoy the hot water overflowing from the hinoki hot spring 24 hours a day. In addition, we have a ReFa shower head, Dyson dryer, and MARKS & WEB's special amenities, and other facilities that are close to beauty and healing. The first floor has a spacious and relaxing living room, and the second floor has a calm design that harmonizes Japanese and Western styles. In addition, there are plenty of facilities for children, such as cribs, bouncers, chairs, and children's tableware, so families can enjoy their stay with peace of mind. Convenient for sightseeing, just a 2-minute walk to the Yunohei Highway. A memorable trip that doesn't end with "just staying" in Yufuin. Experience deep relaxation with Hibiki, limited to one group per day.
