Ryokan Prices by Tier
Real per-night rates at traditional Japanese inns — grouped by budget, mid-range, and premium tier.
Budget
Yamada Bessou
A homey, early-Showa-retro lodge an 8-minute walk from Beppu Station, with a 24-hour indoor hot-spring bath and free bicycle rental for exploring the hatto districts.
Per-person 1-night-2-meal rate is around ¥12,700 (from a published 2-person rate of ¥25,460); room-only and breakfast-only plans are cheaper.
Ryokan Sennari
A family-run 8-room ryokan near Beppu Station where 3 of the rooms have their own private open-air bath, with seasonal kaiseki and a Bungo-beef sukiyaki option.
Estimated per-person 1-night-2-meal rate for a standard room; rooms with a private open-air bath cost noticeably more.
Nogami Honkan
A central, budget-friendly ryokan with roots as a 1943 fish-restaurant inn, now run for individual travelers with its own flowing hot-spring source.
Room rates run roughly ¥7,500-27,000 per room for 2 depending on room grade; figure quoted is a rough per-person 1-night-2-meal estimate at the lower end.
Mid-Range
Tenkuyubo Seikaiso
Known for Beppu's only rooftop-observation private bath and a rare tatami foot-bath lounge on the top floor, with rooms across four buildings looking out over Beppu Bay.
Per-person 1-night-2-meal estimate; the paid rooftop private bath and foot-bath rooms are extra.
Hana Beppu
A boutique-style ryokan near Beppu Station with a minimalist Japanese design; guests can add a jigoku-mushi (hot-spring-steam) cooking basket to their meal on request.
Per-person 1-night-2-meal estimate; the jigoku-mushi steam-basket add-on costs extra.
Hotel Shiragiku
Within walking distance of Beppu Station, with a Japanese garden that changes through the seasons and a maple-shaded garden bath fed by a spring locals call the 'beauty bath.'
Per-person 1-night-2-meal estimate for a standard Japanese-style room.
Yusai no Yado Bokai
On the Kitahama waterfront with its own two hot-spring sources, including a smooth, mineral-rich 'beauty bath' and a 7th-floor rooftop bath looking over Beppu Bay and Beppu Tower.
Per-person 1-night-2-meal estimate for a standard room; rooms with a private open-air bath cost more.
Okamotoya Ryokan
Founded in 1875 on the hilltop Myoban hot-spring district, known for its milky, sulfur-rich blue-white spring water — a mineral profile unique to Myoban — and views of Mt. Tsurumi.
Per-person 1-night-2-meal estimate for a standard room.
Chobo-no-Yado Shiori
Perched on a hill in the Kankaiji area with sea-view rooms facing Beppu Bay and mountain-view rooms facing Mt. Takasaki, serving in-room kaiseki built around Bungo-beef hot pot.
Per-person 1-night-2-meal estimate; guest reviews put a sea-view room around ¥35,000, so treat this as representative rather than a fixed figure.
Oniyama Hotel
In the Kannawa hells district, home to Beppu's largest open-air bath, fed by water from the Oniyama Hell itself and freshly renovated in 2025.
Per-person 1-night-2-meal estimate for a standard room.
Yukemuri no Sato Azumaya
A small 9-room inn on a hilltop above the Kannawa hells, with sulfate-spring hinoki-lined indoor baths in every room and a jigoku-mushi steam-cooked kaiseki dinner.
Per-person 1-night-2-meal estimate.
Kappo Ryokan Yumesaki
A pure Japanese-style inn tucked into a quiet residential street, limited to six parties a night, with three types of hot-spring bath available for private reservation and kaiseki built on Oita beef and Bungo Channel seafood.
Per-person 1-night-2-meal estimate.
Seaside Hotel Mimatsu Ooetei
On the Beppu Bay waterfront near Beppu Tower, with a signature rooftop open-air bath and a cypress-lined indoor bath where guests can watch the sunrise and the bay's fishing-boat lights.
Per-person 1-night-2-meal estimate for a standard room.
Beppu Nagomitsuki
An adults-only 12-room retreat in a quiet residential area about 20 minutes from Beppu Station (free shuttle available), where every room has its own 100%-source open-air bath and dinner is creative kaiseki built around Oita beef and seki-saba mackerel.
Per-person 1-night-2-meal estimate; positioned for anniversaries and special occasions, so prices run higher than a typical mid-range stay.
Hotel Sansuikan
A 54-room hillside hotel-ryokan in Kannawa near the Beppu IC, with outdoor hot-spring baths overlooking the steam rising from the town below.
Published rate starts around ¥14,850 per person for the room; figure here adds a typical dinner-and-breakfast plan uplift.
Premium
Kai Beppu
Hoshino Resorts' Beppu property, built around a striking bathing hall with nightly Bungo-kagura dance performances and staff-led walks through the nearby 'hells' hot-spring district.
1-night-2-meal per-person rate; Kai properties price by room type and season, so quotes swing widely.
Sanso Kannawaen
A hillside ryokan in the Kannawa hot-spring district built around a striking cobalt-blue private hot-spring source, with an on-site Noh stage occasionally used for performances.
1-night-2-meal per-person estimate for a standard room; suites with private in-room baths run considerably higher.
Beppu Showaen
Eleven detached garden cottages spread across a former gold-mine estate in the quiet Kankaiji hot-spring area, each with its own private outdoor bath and in-room kaiseki dinner.
Per-person 1-night-2-meal rate for the standard detached cottage; larger villas cost more.
Amane Resort Seikai
An oceanfront ryokan on Shoningahama beach where all 14 room types have their own open-air bath fed by a flowing natural hot spring, facing Beppu Bay.
Per-person 1-night-2-meal rate; room type (detached vs. main building) changes the price a lot.
Amane Resort Gahama
A 17-room luxury property on a 3,500-tsubo beachfront estate, where every room — including detached villas and maisonettes over 90 sqm — has its own outdoor hot-spring bath.
Per-person 1-night-2-meal estimate; this is one of Beppu's most expensive stays and prices vary widely by villa type.
Terrace Midobaru
A hilltop retreat with panoramic sea-and-city views, where every room has its own cedar-lined semi-open-air bath and a private terrace.
Per-person 1-night-2-meal estimate for a standard terrace room.
Kappo Ryokan Kannawa Bettei
A quiet 6-room kappo-ryokan in the Kannawa 'hells' district, where every room draws hot-spring water straight from the source and dinner — built around Bungo beef and local seki-aji, seki-saba — is served in-room.
Per-person 1-night-2-meal rate; some of the 6 rooms have their own private open-air bath and cost more.
Ryotei Matsubaya
Opened in 1926 on a quiet hillside in the Kankaiji hot-spring area, this long-running ryokan offers four styles of source-fed bath and a kaiseki kitchen well regarded even by Michelin inspectors.
Per-person 1-night-2-meal estimate; room grade changes the price significantly.
