Such an amazing place! Feels like a bit of a maze within the house - but like in Chihiros Travels ;) The kitchen is the most amazing thing - an adventure to itself! Overall you feel like you travel back in time :) Definitly will come again, if I get the chance!

“Hopefully we can come here again!”

- the kitchen was outstanding, a unique experience - big, clean room with very comfortable futons

“Incredible”

Stunning place in the heart of the old Beppu near the Hells of Beppu, incredible place built like a maze but in the coolest way, you can cook over the hot spring steams, the rooms are traditional Japanese style and extremely cozy with good views. Downstairs there's 2 public Onsen and a few streets over there is a private Onsen to enjoy too. The staff is incredibly nice too. Probably the coolest place I've ever stayed at.

This is good old Ryokan built on top of a bubbling spring. Good knowledgeable host who speak some English. The steam powered kitchen is outstanding

“Good! Good!”

Good place to stay. Easy to go to the sightseeing. Big supermarket walk about 10 minutes.

“I will come back again.”

Old house to stay(very special). Kitchen also.

“An affordable stay with private onsen and a hotspring kitchen!”

It's quite a cozy stay with a nice Showa feeling to it. For some, it might be a downside but for me it was part of the nostalgia. Anyway, rooms are clean and spacious, well insulated in winter and with really good heating (not AC). Baths are the main allure of this place. I doubt you would find a better stay in all of Beppu that would provide you with all the basics (supermarket, restaurants) in one area and private hotspring baths as well! ごくらく、ごくらく! Kitchen might be weird looking at first but it's because it has an authentic system of hotspring steam vents that you can use for cooking your own food! How cool is that! It is also located in the main hotspring area of Beppu so expect the steam coming out from beneath your feet, funny smell of rotten eggs and famous Beppu Hells (really colorful hotsprings), all within a walking distance!

“Very nice comfy and spacious!”

The rooms have plenty of space and are comfy, the Ryokan has 2 onsen, 1 small 1 large both were very enjoyable. It is very central and close to shops and restaurants alike. The buses are all easily accessible which makes it easy for moving luggage. I would absolutely visit again!
