It's far from Beppu Station, so you have to take a bus. The surrounding area is a residential area, and many houses have their lights off at night, so it's a little scary. The kids are happy playing in the cat room... The owner doesn't speak English, so use Papago. There's a restaurant called Joyfull on the main road, so it's good for kids to eat. The room is old, but clean, and the hot spring is small, but enough for bathing.

This ryokan is run by an old couple. The facilities aren't great for the price, but I highly recommend it if you like animals. The location isn't great, but if you want to travel leisurely, there are local restaurants 5 minutes away. I recommend stopping by on the way!

Shared restrooms and bathrooms are really inconvenient. Many rooms are transparent glass rooms dedicated to raising cats. There is still a smell in the corridor. Dinner is relatively simple, so it is not recommended to order dinner in the restaurant. Not recommended to stay either

First time in Beppu . This ryokan is 20 minutes walk from Beppu station . Very quiet neighborhood, the first family mart is at 10 minutes . So not that convenient . Beppu is very quiet most of the shops and restaurants closed down to the point I had a hard time to find somewhere to eat . And also the ryokan being so far away from everything didn’t help .
As for the ryokan itself , very quiet , loved the onsen ( they have 3 separate , could use one on my own which was super nice !) the lady don’t speak English so didn’t have any contact with her or husband . The room was nice , she lent me 2 robes for the onsen . Shower and onsen on the first floor , rooms on the second . Everything was good but I would definitely recommend to stay 2 nights max , since not much to do in Beppu . Everything can be done in a day .

The host are very helpful, friendly and polite. The hot spring is awesome when you may enjoy it with a river view. The breakfast is nice too. Also, the homely inn is highly recommended for cats lovers. Just a mindless thing is that the host only speak Japanese but now the technique of translation is user friendly.

It's not bad, but the location is a bit lacking.

This store is very unique. It has more than 30 different types of cats, which are very loving. And the service attitude is very good.
The food is good and the hot spring water is hot enough.
