Zekkeino Yado Sakura-tei

We stayed for a Multiple Night Stay to visit Beppu and tour the “Hells.” The Ryokan is located on a hill not far from the city, and it was a little hard to find, but there were guide signs, so it wasn’t a problem. The nearby “Hells” are also within walking distance. Both dinner and breakfast were very delicious, with generous portions—so much that we wondered if we could finish everything. The Room was very clean with a great view overlooking Beppu Bay. There are many free private baths available, and you can use them anytime if they’re open; the views from them are wonderful as well. The Onsen water was extremely hot, so adjusting the temperature took some effort, but it was still an excellent Onsen. The staff were also very kind and left a great impression. Just one thing: we visited during a cold wave, and in the private bath there was no partition between the bathing area and the changing area, so it felt very cold before getting in. Even so, overall we were very satisfied with this Ryokan. If we have another chance to visit Beppu, we would definitely like to stay here again. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

This was my first time visiting Beppu Onsen.I was surprised by the welcome drink and the 24-hour all-you-can-drink draft beer, and having a drink after the bath was amazing.There were many private baths as well as a large public bath, so even though our Room had an open-air bath, I felt we could have enjoyed our stay without it because the shared facilities were so well equipped.Both dinner and breakfast were delicious, and we were very satisfied.As the name suggests, it’s an Accommodation with spectacular views—being on a hilltop, the scenery was wonderful.Unfortunately, the Facility is not barrier-free; there is no elevator, and carrying heavy luggage up the stairs was tough.The Room had a very traditional Japanese-style door; only this Room had a wooden sliding door. The Room had floor chairs (zaisu), but I would have preferred regular chairs.It was comforting to stay at an Accommodation with Japanese staff for the first time in a while.
