Kokonoe 4 Stars Hotels

It was the perfect gateway into our Ryokan/onsen experience with beautiful & spacious accommodations in a super private and relaxing setting. Having our own onsen with view of the mountains was an absolute dream after a week in the big cities. The attentive staff were exceptional and brought dinner to our room that we cooked over the coals for a unique experience. Overall an incredible retreat to come back to after a busy day of onsen hopping. Truly a first class experience!

Fully remote/self service. Check in was through a screen. Love the property and amenities. Wish our stay was longer

Great

All rooms have their own onsen, I can enjoy onsen with privacy at any time. It’s very convenient. It’s a very comfortable hotel. The staff are very nice and helpful. Personally, I love Japanese meal, so if they can provide a traditional Japanese breakfast, it would be great.

Highly recommended

We loved our stay here and loved the heated pool with the breathtaking views. It also wasn’t that far a walk to reach the shops and restaurants in Yufuin.

Small ryokan in the hills above Yufuin. Great Onsen. We stayed in the traditional Japanese room and it was very comfortable. It had a private Onsen that was incredible. The staff were friendly and helpful, and despite us not being from Japan or able to speak much Japanese, we never felt out of place or unwelcome. The breakfast was a traditional Japanese breakfast, amazing to see as well as eat. We only stayed 3 nights, but it was the most relaxing time of our 3 day visit.

Shiosai no yado Seikai is an outstanding onsen/hotel in Beppu. From arrival to departure the staff, including Mr. Ohkubo, provided exceptional hospitality and service. Our room was upscale spacious, clean, modern and equipped with all the amenities that the most demanding guest would want. The furo/spa facilities were clean and well stocked with needed supplies. The food and restaurants in the hotel are excellent and can cater to any diner's needs. Shiosai no yado Seikai is an outstanding...

The onsen was absolutely great, with beautiful view of Beppu. The room was very spacious and quiet. The hotel staff is overall friendly. Teppan dinner was great (though the Wagyu steak was a bit too greasy for me), and breakfast was also nice.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The gentleman who helped me check in spoke great English and helped me make a restaurant reservation too

The property has a lot of old Japanese charm but some areas need repair. Sections of the privacy fence around our onsen were rotted and leaning. The patio behind the bar was closed due to broken planks.

The property was lovely. Super close to the station. Right in the middle of the city for food. It is a bit far from the hells of beppu but there are buses to get there or a quick taxi ride. The bath and pool were beautiful. The staff was super helpful and helped us book a private onsen at Hyotan Onsen. I would definitely stay here again when we come back to Beppu!

Convenient onsen, delicious foods, fantasic view from room

The beds are very comfortable. All rooms have great views. Dinner and breakfast buffets offer many options. Highly recommended.
