A small traditional ryokan in central Beppu. Guests frequently mention the cozy, countryside grandma's house atmosphere and the onsen.
Reviews commonly praise the 'great onsen water and impressive rotenburo'. Kaiseki dinners and breakfasts are noted for their hearty, delicious spreads. The tatami rooms give a strong traditional Japanese feel. Its location near Jigoku onsen makes strolling convenient.
However, communication is tough as owners are elderly and don't speak English or Korean. Some complaints about onsen usage time limits or cleaning. Old facilities can feel cold in winter.
Suits couples or small groups seeking traditional ryokan experience and onsen lovers.
