Ryokan Asahiya — Local services in Beppu

I booked this middle sized Japanese inn (about 20 rooms?) direct well before. On our arrival, we were surprised to know we were the only guests at this inn for the night, and naturally became a bit concerned. However, everything went well and fine.||||It seems a family run business. We were welcome by the owner. I firstly got impressed by their sincereness: they reserved a room on the top(=second or third, can't remember exactly) floor. I in fact requested a quiet room when booking, asking to avoid noise from the road, but remember we were the only guests, therefore serving only one room high up to prepare futon matress at night and to serve breakfast on this floor would not justify the work and cost. This inn has no passenger lift Just a small cargo one. ||||Our room was small but recently refurbished and impeccably clean. The view was an unexpected small gift. The road in front seemed not so busy although with parking lots and a bus station.||||They prepared an in-house hot spring bath,the largest one. for just two of us. || ||Only fault we found was a synthetic futon matress cover to add warmness was apparently dirty. Everything else including all other bed linen was so perfectly clean and I still wonder the oddness. We removed it and slept. ||||For supper, we ate out and had good healthy local food (steamed by hot spring).||Breakfast at the inn was of good quality and we were satisfied.||||This inn seems to serve group tourists. When there are some, the atmosphere may appear different. ||||I liked this accommodation, this particular area of Kannawa and Beppu. Marvelous hot spring. Willing to come back. ||||The location is convenient for sightseeing not only within Kannawa, but also for nearby Myoban and central Beppu, which are all linked by public...

This place is simply AMAZING! The room I stayed at had a small private onsen outside. The room was very spacious with a small upper deck to enjoy tea in peace. The atmosphere in this ryokan is relaxing at the most. The interior design is 100% wabi-sabi. The lady who welcomed me went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. A check in, she offered a cup of green tea and a small sweet beans kind of dessert (apologies I don’t remember the name) and at check out I was given 2 boiled eggs steamed in hot spring steam (everything tasted amazing 😍). The place is very central in the Kannawa area of Beppu, which is the area of the Beppu’s Hells. I just loved staying here and if I ever come back to Beppu, I’ll definitely stay here again! 5+ stars to everyone working in this place! Thank you...

We stayed for 3 nights and were welcomed very friendly. The room was spacious and amanities were provided. They cleaned the room every day for you and exchanged your used towels with fresh ones. We really enjoyed the private onsen in our room. As others already had mentioned you can get a direct bus from Beppu Station to the ryokan. You can book breakfast and dinner beforehand. We didn't do that since we were out exploring Beppu. Just keep in mind, if you want that service you need to notify the staff 3 days before your arrival. If you like some quiet time and peace with japandi styled rooms, Ryokan Asahiya is definitely the right choice. Would...
