Incredible place with top value. Choose the room with private outdoor hot spring. The meals are so delectable. The service is unmatched — it was raining as we drove up and a staff member rushed out to give us each an opened umbrella. The room and amenities are amazing.
We had an exceptional stay at Kannawaen and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable ryokan experience.
The highlight of our stay was the in-room open-air bath, which was both relaxing and beautifully designed. It was perfect for unwinding at any time of day. The public baths were equally impressive, with both indoor and outdoor options that were clean, serene, and thoughtfully maintained and the view from the outdoor public bath was awesome. One of the most unique experiences was the full body steam boxes which we hadn’t encountered anywhere else and thoroughly enjoyed.
Dining was outstanding. One evening we had a kaiseki dinner featuring lobster and shabu shabu, and the next night we experienced a teppanyaki dinner with perfectly prepared steak and abalone. Both meals were delicious, high-quality, and beautifully presented.
We also treated ourselves to head and body massages for an additional fee, and they were absolutely worth it. It was a professional, relaxing, and perfect complement to the overall onsen experience.
The staff were attentive, friendly, and always ready to help, making the entire stay feel seamless and welcoming. The location is very convenient for visiting the Hells of Beppu, which are just a short distance away, and having free self-parking made it especially easy to explore the area by car.
Overall, Kannawaen delivered a perfect blend of relaxation, unique experiences, and exceptional service. We would absolutely stay here again.
The Ryokan was very nice and huge. There is a balcony to with a very nice view. The food was good and the room comes with indoor and outdoor private onsen which is very good for those who enjoy privacy and does not want to go to public bath.
It was a nice stay to relax and enjoy Japanese traditional food. The dinner Kiseki was good, and the breakfast bento was delightful. The facility was clean, and the onsen bath was wonderful.
The service was top-notch and the staff were polite and very attentive to guest needs. The meals were of high standard. It was a very enjoyable and relaxing stay.
Amazing stay! Great facilities and a private hot spring bath in the room! Loved this hotel. Impeccable and friendly staff who greets you at every instance.Thoroughly impressive food service to boot - food that looks beautiful and tastes divine.
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.
Excellent place to stay in Beppu. The service is impeccable, the rooms are large and spacious, and the in-room baths are wonderful. The large public bath was also nice, but we only used it once because we enjoyed the one in our room so much. The restaurants are also excellent for breakfast and dinner.
This was a fantastic 1 night stay and perfect for a break in our 2 week stay. The private facilities we chose to have in our room were ideal for our stay. Definitely will come back here!
view from room is lovely. The room onsen is nice, also the public onsen is very large and good.
Foodwise the Kaiseki was so so, with big amount of food.
We stayed in the Sakura room, it was absolutely amazing! We arrived before check in and the staff kindly took our bags and held them for a few hours while we explored the surrounding area (it is right next to the hells of Beppu). The room was very clean and spacious with a private indoor and outdoor onsen as well as a beautiful garden with its own cherry blossom tree. The hotel provides you with everything you need for a relaxing onsen experience! Would definitely stay here again.
Had a spectacular stay with wife. Awesome hotel room and excellent food. Staff are courteous and helpful. It’s close to the famous onsen sightseeing spot so it ’s easy to navigate around. There’s nothing much to shop around though.
We enjoyed ourselves very much. The room was spacious, clean annd tidy, and had all the amenities.
The high view overlooking the sea was amazing.
Everything we needed was taken care of.
Dinner and Breakfast was very sumptuous.
Highly recommended!
This was our first ryokan experience and it was great. Staff was very friendly. Pickup & drop off at JR station was included. The view was great and the room we reserved has private indoor/outdoor onsens. Expect to do a bit of walking on the property, but it’s located next door to the “7 Jigoku of Beppu”, a great geological park.
Lovely ryokan. Excellent fixed-course meals (both Japanese and western). As with most traditional Japanese inns, there is little flexibility when it comes to their set ways (such as asking for a cup of coffee with breakfast, when you are only offered tea…can not do). The area surrounding the inn is also quite industrial and unattractive. But it is within easy walking distance of Beppu’s main attraction—the Hells of Beppu hot springs.
Kannawaen was the perfect way to end a busy two week Janapn vacation in a quiet and relaxing way. We truly enjoyed our room’s private Onsen, and the two meals we had on the property were both excellent and reasonably priced. The staff were kind and accommodating. The gift shops had beautiful local goods to commemorate our trip. Walking distance to five of the Seven Hells. We loved our experience at Kannawaen and recommend it wholeheartedly to travelers who want a quiet place to relax and unwind.
We stayed Sora tradition western style, room is spacious, clean, and provides good amenities - like best face soap & moisturizer face creams, top of line hair dryer, Yukata, indoor & out door slippers, toothbrush with paste. I don’t have to pack anything. They provide for you. Only thing missing was body lotion. The indoor hot springs (in room) temperature was perfect, but outside terrace one was extremely hot, so hard to enjoyable. The Japanese style meals, the dinner and breakfast we select was 8/10. All great, but the soup wasn’t my favorite, however others might like it. In my opinion, the coffee wasn’t that great, but good selection of teas. I can’t complain the staff’s service. Top notch, they will make your stay comfortable, everyone so politely kind. So, my staying at here was best experience. Another plus things was next to Hell of Beppu and has great city view.
Best hotel with hot spring in your room and public baths too. The views are amazing. The food is gourmet. They made accommodations for special diets. The rooms in sorakan had a traditional feel but all modern and updated. They had a shuttle option from the main train station to the hotel which was super convenient. They are located directly in the middle of the popular sightseeing area for the jigokumeguri. So it was all walkable!
Me and my family had a wonderful stay at this luxurious hotel.
The room even exceeded our expectations. Everything was clean and well-maintained and hotel staff was extremely welcoming, kind and polite and we felt like honored guests the whole time.
We could even see the Kamado Jigoku from our bedroom window and from our garden, we also had a great view of the city and was greeted with an extremely beautiful sunrise each morning!
The cuisine dinners we had at the restaurants were also fantastic and one of the best we had in Japan!
We cannot praise this hotel enough and highly recommend it to anyone who is seeking to visit Beppu and its neighboring towns and cities.
