Guest Reviews
- RYUBIN (9/5): -
- Yasue (8/5): 昭和好き、長逗留で自炊するには最高の宿です。 -
- Noriaki (8/5): - 施設は古いのですが清掃がしっかり行き届いています。
- Edilson (9/5): -
- OUWA (5/5): - のんびりできます 人があるくたびに、床がギシギシなって眠れなかった
- Noriaki (8/5): - 温泉の泉質が良く自炊施設が充実している湯治宿です。長期で滞在するには最高だと思います。
- Laura (10/5): Einmalig, komme gerne wieder! - Die Küche zum selber Kochen war grossartig, wir liebten es über dem Dampf zu Kochen. Auch das Bad war excellent. Würde jederzeit wieder kommen. Vielen Dank für die Gastfreundschaft! Etwas harter Boden zum schlafen, sind es aber nicht sehr gewohnt.
- Alyssa (7/5): Sacrifice small luxuries for a great experience! - The Ryokan layout was fun and the location was great! The room was clean with lots of natural light. Our room was more spacious than we had expected (although we may have been upgraded without realizing).
We used the private baths which were clean but in a separate building which was a walk away from the hotel.
The staff was incredibly kind and helpful! They offered advice for local sites, gave a thorough tour of the facilities and offered support throughout our stay.
Using the steam kitchen was an experience in itself- the small grocery across the street had everything we needed to cook a delicious meal and cooking utensils were provided in the room and kitchen area.
Parking was free, spacious and easily accessible. Folks should keep in mind:
1. Air conditioning is coin operated in the rooms.
2. There are two toilets and two sinks shared for the building- rooms do not have any bathroom facilities. There are no showers, we used low spigots and bowls to wash before using the baths.
3. The stairs to the second floor are incredibly steep- if you have any accessibility issues there were rooms on the ground floor!
One downside to the ryokan style rooms was that there were small windows over the door facing the hallway. These windows had no curtains and the hallway lights were left on all night for communal bathroom access. We had eye masks, so this wasn’t a huge problem for us but was slightly inconvenient.
- Tadakazu (8/5): - また使えそうです。
- Po (10/5): Exceptional -
- Elisabeth (10/5): Exceptional - 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!
- Larissa (10/5): Hopefully we can come here again! - - the kitchen was outstanding, a unique experience
- big, clean room with very comfortable futons /
- マサカズ (10/5): - 最高です。昭和が濃縮されています。
- kuma (8/5): - 温泉の質が良くて 7~23時で好きな時間にお風呂もいただけます。地獄の使い方もスタッフな教えてくれるので困ることもありません。また、困ったことは相談するとすぐ対応してくださるので 安心です。
- Jun (10/5): - 地獄蒸しがセルフでできるのが非常に良かった。
保安上や設備投資の問題もあるので理解はできるが、23時の門限があるので夜フラフラ散歩したい私にとってはちょっと早い。
- Lisa (10/5): 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. Nothing.
- Iver (10/5): Exceptional - 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 Futon is futon
- GILL SUNG (10/5): - 아주 저렴하고 온천 이용 가능하고 찜통에 요리도 해먹기 편합니다.
- Neda (8/5): Very good -
- Kwai (8/5): Good! Good! - Good place to stay. Easy to go to the sightseeing. Big supermarket walk about 10 minutes. Shower time (men or women easy make mistake).
- Kwai (8/5): I will come back again. - Old house to stay(very special). Kitchen also. toilet outside. Bathroom time (men & women)easy make a mistake.
- Dominik (9/5): 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! As usual for me, I use this section to keep people informed about certain things, rather than complain.
So, before you say anything bad about the stay, be aware that:
- This area of Beppu has a funny smell of rotten eggs and there are colorful mineral deposits anywhere the water and steam is located. It's not a dirt but a natural phenomenon related to volcanic hotsprings activity. It is the reason why place is quite popular and so unique! Just be aware of it before you complain about headache if you are sensitive to that stuff!
- This area of Beppu is on top of the hills. This might not sound bad but be aware that it is not a good location for daily escapes using train. Travel to the train station might take a little while using local buses and they stop operating relatively early (last bus in this area arrives around 20:00-20:30). Just keep that in mind before you make grand tourist plans. It's a place to rest after all!
Probably the ONLY complaint I have for the stay is the fact that AC is paid. It could be an issue during summer but otherwise can be ignored I guess :)
- Jordan (10/5): 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!
- Verified traveler (8/5): 地獄蒸しと湯治を堪能しました - 一週間以上滞在しましたが飽きずに毎日地獄蒸しと温泉を堪能できました。
貸し間であり、隣の部屋の人がうるさいと快適さは無くなりますが楽しませていただきました。
また利用したいと思います。
- Verified traveler (10/5): 蒸し料理 簡単ですよー。 - プライベートも保たれて、ほっとする時間を過ごさせてもらいました♪
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Only lack of shower was a bit of trouble some
- Donna (10/5): - This is an amazing, traditional Japanese in with third generation in keepers. It’s definitely a do it yourself property as far as food and amenities go but well worth the visit!
- Mattias (8/5): - Good location close to main sights. Owner is informative and polite. Fantastic in house natural steam cooking facilities, free to use! Makes the whole guesthouse a bit hot and steamy on the other hand.. Stay here if you want an authentic experience in Beppu.
- Florian (10/5): Authentic experience - Very authentic experience, staff was very helpfull and did everything to make our trip wunderfull!!! Eventhough the pictures on hotels.com might look a bit old/shaby the place is very nice and i would totally recommend booking here :)
- Verified traveler (8/5): 地獄蒸しで自炊ができる湯治宿 - 近くにあるスーパーで新鮮な地元食材を買い、宿の地獄釜で蒸すだけで美味しい食事になります。
宿の温泉と蒸し風呂だけでなく周辺の公衆温泉浴場もおすすめです。
- TK (8/5): 迷路のような古い貸間宿 - 約10年ぶりに泊まりました。
貸間宿なので、一通りの説明があるだけで後は放置されます。
きちんと豆に清掃はされてますが、老朽化が目立ちます。特にトイレは共用でたくさんあるのですが、残念な古さです。
名物地獄蒸しで自炊が出来るところも売りなんですが、道具が古くて使いづらいです。
- Daniel (10/5): Härligt gammaldags - En härligt gammalmodigt japansk upplevelse. Bada i varma källor, koka mat i ångkök, sov på fotoner på golvet. Väldigt japanskt och trevligt. Prisvärt och med bra gratis Wi-Fi.
