4 ryokan and baths with a verified description
Beppu · Families
A giant on the hill above Beppu, with terraced baths that look out over the bay and a thermal pool for children. From ¥30,000 per person including two meals. Not a quiet ryokan but a resort hotel, and that is exactly why it is the right choice with a family.

Onsen · Beppu
On the mountain above Beppu stand straw huts where bath salts, yunohana, are crystallized from the steam, by a method 300 years old.

Oita · Art
An onsen town with a street of galleries and cafes at the foot of Mount Yufu, 25 minutes from Beppu. From ¥28,000 per person including two meals. Quieter and more styled than Beppu, so it suits those who want an onsen without the feel of a resort city.
