The location was amazing. It is a short walk from public bathhouses and onsens . The rooms are spacious as well.

Elaina Japan

Great location to explore Jigoku onsen area, very friendly owner and lovely place

Mariia Ukraine

The staff (owner?) is very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Good location near onsen and grocery stores. Free parking was great. The building itself was difficult to find (our gps led us down the wrong street) and you need to drive through some narrow streets to get there. Spacious room with kitchenette including pot/pan, utensils, and cutlery. No bathing facilities on-site but there are some fantastic ones just a short walk away.

Ryan Japan

Super clean, warm and fully equipped with everything one could possibly need for a short stay. We were chuffed at having a washing machine and lots of blankets. The location was perfect for sightseeing the famous hot springs of Beppu. We were sad to not have booked another night there. Highly recommended!

Amy New Zealand

The location is excellent with 5-min walking distance to Hyotan Hot Springs (with private onsen room) and 15-min walking distance to umi jigoku. Very cheap price with toilet. There is no bath room but you can go to lots of onsen around the hotel.

This is my second stay at this Ryokan. And again I was very happy to stay here. I loved everything: beautiful nature, onsen and very warm hospitality

Kate Russia

The best ryokan I have ever stayed in. Such welcoming and friendly atmosphere. I absolutely loved it! I forgot one document and the host was so kind to immediately send it to me. I was so grateful!

Ekaterina Russia

Host was wonderful! Loved the security and convenience. He was very informative about what was around us. We had so much fun

Lillian Japan

location is perfect, quite near tourist attraction and located in the old town I believe.
