Hotels near Yukemori Observatory, Beppu

"Celebrated 520 (May 20th) by booking a more upscale meal that day, and the experience was great ❤️. The location is fantastic! It's a 5-minute walk to Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell), so we went straight there after breakfast when it was less crowded. Regarding service, I have to say: it was the rainy season, and there were many staff members standing at the entrance, but they only bowed. It felt awkward watching adults and children run into the hotel in the rain to check in, and checking out involved carrying our own luggage in the rain too."

"A perfect value hotel, 5 stars. I was traveling with my family, so I was very concerned about the food, bath, and bedding. Everything was satisfactory, both dinner and breakfast. The owner was incredibly friendly. The onsen in the ryokan was also fantastic. I would definitely stay here again."

"This hotel was perfect for our family trip! We put a blanket on the floor for the baby to sleep on. It was really cute seeing our family walk around in matching outfits! In the evening, we went for a swim in the rooftop pool – it was the best!"

"Very satisfied with our stay. Room is abit small as the room was constructed out of a container but they still managed to pack everything nicely into the room. Location may not be ideal for travellers relying on public transport but no issue if you’re driving as there are parking lots available for hotel guests in front of the hotel. Love the amenities provided (full range of Pola products and Refa hair dryer!) They even provide a Balmuda kettle. As hotel is located within a park, there is no security fencing. There is a main gate where hotel guests need to scan their card to enter hotel premise but public can easily walk over the slightly raised flower bed to enter the hotel premise even without the need to enter via the main gate. Such setup is only possible in Japan where security is not a major issue and known for being a safe country but we’ll be concerned if this is in another country. There is also no shelter from hotel rooms to the parking area so managing luggage during rainy days will be challenging. But overall we love our stay at this hotel."

"The Japanese-style room is very stylish, the private bath room is great, the room is heated, the breakfast is super delicious, and the staff is very friendly and kind. The overall stay is first-class and cost-effective."

"extremely close to beppu station which takes around 2 mins walk. staffs are polite and very helpful. the hotel is clean, and has a lovely and cozy atmosphere. moreover, they have luggage storage service which is very convenient. i had an amazing stay and will definitely stay here again if i have a chance to come to beppu. thank you!"

"We booked this, and the sister hotel under the same organization (步步庵） for my family and my parents. Both were super nice but we think this one is nicer. Comes with private onsen inside the room, with a proper mattress. Apartment style with modern design. We love this room so much. Would definitely come back! Comes with free parking."

"I was a bit nervous after booking this hotel, but it turned out to be an excellent choice! The hotel is a traditional Japanese courtyard building with six rooms. It's about a 15-minute taxi ride from Beppu JR station. From the moment we entered the courtyard, we received a very warm welcome. Since we booked a room on the second floor, the staff kindly carried all our luggage to our room during check-in. You absolutely must try the dinner and breakfast included in the stay – it's incredibly good value for money! The food for both dinner and breakfast was absolutely delicious! Dinner was especially generous; we couldn't even finish it all. Plus, the wagyu beef served at dinner came with a special certificate, which was a fun touch 🤔 We arrived at the hotel at 3 PM and went straight to the hot springs after checking in. There are three private onsen: two outdoor and one indoor. I personally preferred the two outdoor ones; their design and layout are pretty similar, so either one is a great choice. You can also adjust the water temperature yourself, allowing you to soak for longer. Female guests can choose their favorite yukata at the front desk; the patterns are all beautiful and perfect for photos. The hotel's service was the best I experienced on this entire trip. The staff member who served us dinner and prepared our futons in the evening had a hearing impairment, yet they provided the most satisfying service my family and I received on this trip. Knowing I had to catch a train the next day, they proactively informed me that taxis in Beppu were currently in high demand and helped me pre-book one. I highly recommend this place for its private onsen, delicious food, and excellent service."

"The hotel is conveniently located just to the left of the JR Station's East Exit, and its entrance features a beautifully designed Japanese garden. Guests are required to remove their shoes upon entering the hotel. The rooms are quite small, more like a studio apartment, and don't compare to typical onsen hotels. The rooftop onsen has both indoor and outdoor baths, and the relaxation area offers great street views through its large windows. However, there aren't many shower stalls, so you might have to wait during peak hours. There are also eight private onsen baths, each with a different style. I tried one, and while it was a bit small and enclosed, making it feel a little stuffy, it would be perfect for couples. The breakfast was excellent, primarily Japanese cuisine with a wide variety of delicious options. The location is super convenient, with buses right outside the station providing easy access to all the major attractions."

"The hotel is much better in person than in the photos on Ctrip; it's arguably the best value hotel in the area. First, the room facilities are very new, clearly recently renovated, newer than most hotels in the area. Second, the location is excellent, right in the heart of the town's tourist attractions and transportation hub, offering a quiet retreat amidst the hustle and bustle. The food is also excellent; I stayed for three days, and the food improved each day. On the third night, they served lobster for dinner, and the guests who were only staying one night were whispering among themselves, assuming we had paid extra for a more expensive meal."
