Beppu Kankaiji Onsen Ryotei Matsubaya

I ended up staying overnight in Beppu on short notice, and this was my first time staying here. After making a Reservation, I received a confirmation call, was warmly welcomed at the entrance, and they even moved my car to the parking area—everything was taken care of. The Onsen is available as a private bath, and it was convenient to check via LINE whether it was in use or available. The free lounge was great, though I think it would be even better if it were larger. The Room with an open-air bath also had many thoughtful touches that made me happy. The lavender sachet placed on the pillow helped me sleep comfortably. I’d like to come again.

This was my second stay. The room this time was a Japanese-Western style room, different from the previous visit. The bead cushion in the Japanese-style area felt a bit uncomfortable to use; a slightly larger size might be more relaxing. However, everything else, including the open-air bath and spacious bed, was highly satisfying. The private open-air bath was also kept very clean, allowing me to refresh and escape from daily life. Thank you for considering not repeating the same menu as last time for the meals; they were absolutely delicious. Breakfast was also thoughtfully prepared and very enjoyable. After breakfast, I had coffee made with onsen water—it was incredibly smooth and flavorful. This is an accommodation I would love to visit again if given the opportunity!
