Seaview Hotels in Beppu

"This hotel is perfectly located right in the heart of Beppu's Hells, with attractions literally on its doorstep. All five Hells (Jigoku) are within a 3-5 minute walk, which is incredibly convenient! While the hotel's exterior is unassuming, its interior is a hidden gem. The Japanese garden in the common areas is beautiful. Our room was spacious with a great view, allowing us to see the steam rising from the Hells. Plus, having a private onsen in the room meant we could soak to our heart's content! We even had the large public bath all to ourselves during our visit. The Teppanyaki set meal we booked was a good experience, though we wished there was a little more meat. We specifically requested Japanese-style breakfast when booking, but for some reason, we were given Western-style instead. When we inquired, the staff informed us that it couldn't be changed. On a very positive note, it was our wedding anniversary trip, and the hotel thoughtfully prepared a small gift and took commemorative photos for us – a very nice touch! Aside from these minor issues, everything else was fantastic. The only real downside was the hotel's shuttle service to the station. While they offer it, the last departure is strictly before 11 AM. If you miss it, you have to take a taxi. It feels a bit inconvenient to offer a service with such a limited timeframe. For instance, we visited the Hells in the morning and ended up leaving the hotel after 11 AM, so we had to take a taxi to the JR station. An improvement here would be much appreciated! Overall, my husband, who was visiting Japan for the first time, said it was an excellent Japanese onsen hotel experience. He gives it a big thumbs up!"

"The atmosphere was very relaxing and chill — perfect for couple and a group getaway. The staff were friendly and very helpful throughout our stay. One little thing - the bathroom door of this room type is somehow translucent sliding door, no lock, which can be a bit uncomfortable when staying with a group. A normal one would offer more privacy. Overall, a great experience!"

"An absolutely fantastic onsen ryokan with a superb, prime beachfront location. It was the most affordable onsen ryokan I booked for this trip, yet it turned out to be the most delightful surprise. The tall gentleman at the front desk provided absolutely outstanding service! He was so warm and friendly, and his sincerity truly shone through. Much appreciated! Definitely make sure to reserve the private open-air onsen on the 6th floor. Soaking in the onsen while watching the sunset is such a blissful experience. The room we booked also came with its own private onsen. It offers incredible value for money. All the staff members were incredibly polite, and the breakfast was delicious too! I absolutely adore Beppu city!"

"This is an older hotel, and while the decor and furnishings show their age, everything is functional and well-maintained. It's a good option if you don't mind a slightly dated aesthetic. **Pros:** The location is incredibly convenient, with plenty of restaurants nearby that stay open late. The hotel has an elevator, and parking is free. A very generous buffet breakfast is included, and there's also a large public bath. A significant bonus is its ability to accommodate large families, even groups of up to ten people!"

"Getting here was incredibly convenient. We took a direct bus from Fukuoka Airport to Beppu Kitahama, and the hotel is just a very short walk from where the bus drops you off. The hotel's dinner and breakfast package (一泊二食) was excellent, and the dining atmosphere was really comfortable. Breakfast was served in private rooms, offering a wonderful sea view! I would absolutely love to stay here again."

"We were traveling by car. The hotel offers parking right downstairs, but if it's full, you'd have to park elsewhere, and those spots aren't particularly close. The staff at the entrance provided us with a parking pass and a map, but the pass didn't work when we tried to use it. We eventually circled back to the hotel's main parking area and, thankfully, found an available spot. Our traditional Japanese-style room had a lovely sea view. The onsen (hot spring bath) also offered sea views, which was very relaxing, though guests need to lay out their own futons. The hotel is approximately 6 kilometers from Beppu's most famous attraction, the Beppu Hells. The buffet included with our stay was decent."

"This hotel has very few Chinese reviews. Maybe it hasn't been discovered yet! It’s already the sixth day of travel in Beppu, and it’s safe to say that you’ve met the best hotel in your travels. Breakfast and dinner are very rich, and the rare thing is that the taste is also very good, so the first point will be mentioned. The second point to mention is the excellent service attitude, the small brother's squatting service at the time of check-in. The young lady who sent the guest was also driving far away in the car and still waving her farewell. The front desk can speak English and there is a Chinese staff. The items we left were specifically called and arranged for handover. Very careful. The service is completely satisfactory. The hotel is not walking distance from Beppu Station, but you can find an information desk at the station to help you make a call. There is a special bus to pick up in about 10 minutes. Extremely convenient. There is also a free delivery service on time. The hotel also has a number of parking spaces, it is recommended to call first. The hotel room is small but adequate for dinner in the room. There are also two family soups that require an appointment. There is also a soup, because there are not too many people can enjoy a more intimate space. It was a very satisfying stay."

"The staff is very friendly. The hot spring is the source of the Oniyama Hot Spring. There are two open-air hot springs, both of which are spacious. I checked in late and happened to run into a musical performance. The environment is very good. It is within walking distance of several hells. I am also satisfied with the breakfast and dinner. I will stay here again next time"

"The entryway is very spacious, and the room itself is surprisingly large, even bigger than it appears in the photos. The sea view is beautiful, and soaking in the hot spring at night felt just like having a private onsen. There's a bus stop right outside, with direct service to Chinoike Jigoku (Blood Pond Hell). Beppu Kitahama is right next door, and Don Quijote is just a short walk further. While it's a bit of a walk from Beppu Station, staying right by the sea often means sacrificing a little bit of convenience."
