Relaxing in a Japanese Inn (Ryokan) in Yufuin








The stay at this ryokan with 2 meals (breakfast and dinner) a day in Yufuin cost about S$700. My wife and I stayed for 2 days. It is a much needed break for us. The inn is costly because it came with 2 double beds and WIFI. The room is spacious about the size of 2 HDB master bedrooms combined. There is also a private hot spring pool outside the inn and one in the bathroom. Overall,the service and the facilities were excellent although I would much prefer the food not to be "too Japanese".

I was tempted to order the above KFC but my family isn't keen on it. Looks like I will postpone it for now. It's mouthwatering stuff and better than Texas Chicken or Popeyes Chicken.
