About Beppu
The undisputed gem of Japan's hot spring resort scene, Beppu is a wonderful destination for travellers in search of restoration and rejuvenation. Nestled in Kyushu Island’s Oita region, Beppu boasts a whole host of accommodation options, suitable for a range of tastes and budgets. The hillside city overlooks the coast at Beppu Bay, and many of the best places to stay in Beppu offer striking sea views.
International vistors to Beppu are drawn by the same natural wonders which have appealed to the Japanese for hundreds of years: warm steam rising from the earth to create the perfect conditions for onsen-bathing. Venture into the hills to bathe in different springs, tour the iconic Hells of Beppu — seven boiling hot springs — or unwind in communal baths and private tubs at your hotel. Hike up nearby Mount Tsurumi for spectacular views (which can also be enjoyed from atop Beppu Tower), stroll along the beachfront or explore the shops, bars and eateries of this lively university city. The Beppu Traditional Bamboo Craft Centre is well worth a visit, too.
Alongside their hot springs, most hotels also feature spas with rejuvenating massage treatments, as well as restaurants serving fabulous regional specialities. Many of the best places to stay in Beppu are intimate traditional ryokans, though we also have some swish, modern favourites on our list!
The Best Places to Stay in Beppu
For a Traditional Ryokan
- Yamada Bessou offers 11 simple, traditional rooms in the city centre. Expect tatami matting on light wooden floors, and paper shutters framing views of the tranquil gardens. The fantastic regional fare and hot springs are real highlights. A classic ryokan experience.
- Kappo Ryokan Sennari is another intimate property, with just eight guestrooms in central Beppu. A classic ryokan with hot spring baths and delicious seafood, this is a lovely spot for couples or quieter groups. Rooms feature tatami matting, paper screens and futon beds.
