“A Gem in Beppu!”

Good sized room with modern Japanese touch! Wonderful private onsen in room with self control of water! Satisfying meals and very good service provided by the staff! Would love to return in my next visit!

“Fabulous onsen hotel”

My wife & I chose this hotel for our visit to Beppu after favourable reviews by most travellers.

My wife & I chose this hotel for our visit to Beppu after favourable reviews by most travellers. The reviews were spot on, and we love its location on a hill top, its privacy, ryokan with a modern touch and the in-room onsen. I want to commend the staff for the excellent service rendered during, and after the stay. I had forgetfully left a jumper in the closet during check-out, and by the time they informed us we were already in Fukuoka ready to fly home the next morning. They took the trouble to pack the jumper into a small box and sent by courier back to my home. Excellent service!

“The best Onsen ryokan”

We stayed at the ryokan for two nights. It’s absolutely the best decision we’ve made.

We stayed at the ryokan for two nights. It’s absolutely the best decision we’ve made. While some people commented that it’s very difficult to locate, the hotel kindly reminder us the map code a few days before we arrived and we had no issue locating the hotel on the day we checked in. The food was awesome. They deliberately made a different breakfast menu on our second day. That’s very kind and thoughtful of them. The dinner was very good too. I stayed at other more expensive Onsen ryokan in Kyūshū and the food was not as good as I expected. On the contrary, the food here was really delicious! We regretted not ordering dinner in the hotel for our first night (due to bad experience elsewhere). The bed, while a mixed Japanese / western style bed, was super comfortable and I had such great sleep during the stay. The room was modernly designed with a traditional Japanese touch. Overall it’s very cozy and modern at the same time. You can find electric sockets in places you would expect - eg near your bed. There were a couple of little insects in our room (probably entered when we opened the main door), but that’s expected in rural area like this. The view from our room was beautiful too. We do agree with the paper thin wall comments by other visitors. We could hear people chatting next door but this wasn’t a huge minus for us. We stayed on the ground floor and fortunately we were not disturbed by any noise upstairs, unlike what other travellers commented. Staying on the ground floor also means you can skip the steps walking up to the first floor. We think we made the right choice overall :) Needless to say the private Onsen was superb. It’s indoor which means that we could still enjoy the Onsen while it rained heavily on the day of arrival. The public Onsen was like 2-3x the private Onsen. There is nothing attractive in the public Onsen. Facilities wise that’s not as good as some other Onsen ryokan (eg I couldn’t see any locker), but I don’t think it’s a big issue. I would prefer enjoying my in room Onsen anyway. The staff here all speak good English so there is no issue with communication. The hotel has a vending machine and there is no markup on price. Another good point to mention. I can find no flaws in this ryokan. I love this hotel so much and would love to visit again. We will definitely recommend friends and family to visit this ryokan if they want to visit beppu in the future.

What a great and unique place this hotel is . Fantastic location , great views , and private onsen. All team was very polite with a very good level of English . The bus stops to Beppu station is at 10 minutes walk and it costs around ¥280. The design of the site was absolutely unique, modern but at the same time Japanese style. My only reason to not give 5 stars is value for money, I do reckon is slightly expensive for what it offers: walls a very thin , we could hear everything , it can be an issue for light sleeper, a few damaged furniture in the room, and a few spots that required a better cleaning.
