About Yufuin Hajime
Yufuin Hajime, written 由布院 元（はじめ） in Japanese, is a ryokan in Yufuin, about 1.6 km in a straight line from Yufuin Station. Below we've pulled together what its own website says about private bathing: in-room baths, private family baths, the water and the tattoo rules.
The official site advertises rooms with a private open-air bath. Treat these as specific room types rather than the standard room, and choose that plan when you compare prices. There are 2 private (kashikiri) baths that one group at a time can lock and use. The website doesn't explain how slots work, so ask at check-in.
The property describes its water as free-flowing (源泉かけ流し), fed from the source rather than recirculated, although it also notes that some baths are with added water. The website doesn't state a tattoo policy. If that matters to you, email the property before booking. Some plans include dinner served in your room.
Anything marked 'not confirmed' below, such as tattoo rules for private baths, wasn't stated on the pages we checked. That doesn't mean the answer is no, only that we haven't assumed one. We checked the official website on 17 October 2026. Rules and fees change, so confirm with the property, and use the buttons above to compare the same room across booking sites, including taxes and cancellation terms.
