Top Couple Friendly Hotels in Beppu

"The hotel's location is excellent; you can see it right from the JR station platform. After exiting the station, it's just a two-minute walk across the street. There's a Lawson convenience store right outside the hotel to the left. Upon entering the hotel, you're required to remove your shoes (they can be stored in lockers), and the entire hotel is shoeless and very clean. The room isn't large but is perfectly adequate. The bed is small, and the pillow is firm but very comfortable. The bathroom has a separate wet and dry area, which is great for families as it allows for simultaneous use without disturbance. On the 13th floor, there's a hot spring bath with both indoor and outdoor options, as well as private baths. No reservations are needed; you just go directly. If it's busy, you queue and wait; each person gets about 45 minutes. After soaking in the hot spring, there's free ramen and cold drinks available on the first floor at 10 PM. I really love the atmosphere of this hotel! The breakfast is plentiful and delicious, and the service is excellent. There's also a bus stop right outside the hotel where you can catch bus route 24 to Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell) without having to walk back to the JR station."

"Transportation: Very convenient. It's only a 10-minute walk to JR Beppu Station. For my bus trip to Fukuoka, the bus stop (right outside Starbucks) was just a 5-minute walk from the hotel. Facilities: This is a resort-style hotel, and I was lucky enough to snag a sea-view room where the first rays of morning sun streamed directly in. The room was very spacious, more than enough for two people; it actually felt a bit large for just myself. It was approximately 10 tatami mats in size (excluding the bathroom, separate toilet, entryway, and balcony). Cleanliness: As it was a Japanese-style room, it was generally clean, but there were some small bugs. I got a few bites on my fingers and bottom, but they cleared up by the next day. Ambiance: The balcony offered a direct view of the ocean. The 260-degree sea view room was truly impressive. Service: Overall, the service was very good. The only area that needs improvement is the hot spring on the 7th floor. On the day of my arrival, I made a reservation for the hot spring with the hotel, but I didn't receive any confirmation or proof. Consequently, I didn't actually go. However, I was still charged either 1000 or 1500 yen for it at check-out. It's a small amount, so I didn't bother disputing it with the front desk, but I do think their booking and confirmation process for the hot spring needs significant improvement."

"This hotel is amazing - the staff are friendly, the room is big and the view is beautiful. They also provide shuttle bus service which is really helpful. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t good so I didn’t have a chance to see the sunrise in the room. I might come back and try the private onsen next time!"

"It was a great stay for us. Parking was available on the premises. The hotel was within walking distance of a large Don Quixote and a nice department store (Tokiwa). There are also some eateries nearby. We found the room clean and spacious by Japanese standards. Honestly, for what we paid, we were not expecting much, so this hotel did handily exceed our expectations. The toilet was quite small, so someone larger than the average-sized Japanese person might find it difficult to navigate."
