Beppu Kannawa Onsen Ryokan Miyukiya

Not bad, you can play

The breakfast was more modest than expected and there wasn't much to eat. The room was not well soundproofed and messier than expected. The hot spring was also a private open-air bath, so I expected it, but it wasn't as good as I thought.

I wanted to stay at Kannawa Onsen, so I searched the tourist association's website and found this inn. When I made the reservation, the landlady told me that the toilet was shared, but I was impressed by the condition that the kitchen was included, so I made an immediate reservation. To be honest, I thought that 9,000 yen for one night's stay without meals was expensive, but I thought it couldn't be helped since there are inbound tourists. When I checked in on the day, the innkeeper explained to me very carefully about the room, kitchen, and hot spring. The room was clean, the tatami mats were clean, and the amenities were properly prepared. There were three refrigerators nearby, so I didn't have any problems. You could also do laundry in the building for 100 yen. And although it was a stay without meals, there were convenience stores, restaurants, including chain stores, and drugstores nearby. In particular, the "Marushoku Yamanami store" was a wonderful supermarket, where you could buy fresh food and deli foods as you wanted. For some reason, even though it was a supermarket, the clothing section was well-stocked. We had cherry tomatoes bought at Kitakyushu Airport, sashimi, sushi rolls and bread bought at Beppu Central Market, and alcohol, cheese, Bungo beef roast beef and chicken tempura for dinner at Marushoku. What's more, there is a system where you can enter the public baths for free. If you ask the landlady, she will tell you. We went to both baths twice each. We were able to talk to the locals, and the hot water was great, so it was a fun memory. It may be a bit expensive for a room only. But you can enjoy the hot springs efficiently in one night, and eat only the delicious things in Beppu that you like. What's more, the public baths are also great. It's a great inn where you can feel like you're taking a hot spring cure.

There are three types of indoor baths (two of which are open-air), a delicious breakfast, and a cafeteria with a rare collection of antiques. The building is old but quaint. There is also a kitchen, so you can probably cook, boil hot water, or cool beer in the refrigerator (which was not in the room). In Kannawa Onsen, there are restaurants, a food chain, and a supermarket, all of which are within walking distance, so it is convenient. The 60 bus terminus is just around the corner.
