Private Onsen RoomsMany rooms feature their own hot spring bath for secluded, anytime soaking.
Intimate Six-Room StayJust six rooms create a calm, low-key atmosphere with more personal attention.
Near Kannawa SightsWell placed for Beppu’s hot spring district and nearby Jigoku attractions.

Well-Rated HospitalityGuests repeatedly praise the attentive staff and thoughtful ryokan service.
Free Easy ParkingFree on-site parking adds convenience for drivers exploring Beppu by car.

Who is this ryokan best for?

Recommended stay1-2 nightsDining is the strongest stay-length driver here: arrive mid-afternoon, settle into the room bath or a reservable private bath, eat dinner at the ryokan, sleep in, and use the next day for Kannawa hells, Hyotan Onsen, or Mt. Tsurumi before moving on. A third night risks repeating the same local rhythm unless you are intentionally slowing down in Beppu.
Trip-planning verdict: Best as a quiet 1-night or relaxed 2-night Beppu onsen stay for travelers with a car or taxi budget, especially couples prioritizing private bathing and in-room dinner over walkable city life.

Know before booking

Not station-sideIt is around 12 to 15 minutes by car or taxi from Beppu Station, so luggage-heavy rail travelers may find transfers annoying.
Limited walkable nightlifeThis is a quieter Shin-Beppu setting rather than downtown Beppu, so evening dining and bar options are not the main draw.
One room roadsideThe ryokan notes one upstairs room near the road may get some noise and vibration from large vehicles.

Should you choose this ryokan?

A small, refined ryokan in Beppu that stands out for privacy, in-room hot spring bathing, and highly praised meals. It suits couples and travelers seeking a quiet traditional stay more than those who want a central, budget-friendly base.

5 reasons to choose this ryokan best points
  • Private onsen feelMost rooms have their own private hot spring bath, which gives you a much more intimate stay than a standard shared-bath ryokan. It is especially appealing if you want to soak without worrying about other guests.
  • Very limited number of roomsWith only six guest rooms, the property feels quiet and secluded rather than busy or resort-like. That small scale can make service feel more personal and the whole stay more restful.
  • Memorable kaiseki dinnersGuest feedback consistently highlights the dinner as a standout, with carefully presented multi-course meals and strong use of local Oita ingredients. This is a ryokan where the food can be a major part of the trip, not just an add-on.
  • Traditional style with comfortThe rooms combine classic Japanese elements such as tatami-style ambiance with spacious layouts and modern comforts. It works well for travelers who want a ryokan atmosphere without feeling too rustic.
  • Peaceful adult-oriented atmosphereThe property presents itself as an adult-only ryokan focused on calm, undisturbed private time. That makes it especially attractive for couples, anniversaries, or anyone wanting a quieter Beppu stay.
5 reasons not to choose this ryokan watch-outs
  • Not the best central locationIts Beppu address is outside the station-centered area, so it is less convenient if you want to walk easily to many restaurants, nightlife spots, or transport hubs. It fits a retreat stay better than a highly mobile city stay.
  • Price can feel high for one nightBecause the experience leans on private bathing, attentive service, and included meals, the nightly rate may feel expensive compared with regular hotels in Beppu. Budget-focused travelers may not feel the value as strongly.
  • Not every room has its own bathMost rooms feature a private onsen bath, but not all of them do. If having an in-room hot spring is essential, you need to choose the room type carefully rather than assume every booking includes it.
  • Traditional ryokan style may not suit everyoneThis stay is geared toward a slower, more ceremonial experience with Japanese-style rooms and set meal rhythms. Travelers who prefer a casual hotel stay with flexible dining and Western-style routines may find it less convenient.
  • Small property means fewer facilitiesIts intimate scale is part of the charm, but it also means you should not expect the wide range of amenities found at a large hot spring resort. If you want multiple public baths, big common spaces, or extensive entertainment, this may feel limited.
