YOKOSO Ryokan
--- The property is not yet rated
YOKOSO Ryokan is a traditional Kashima-style lodging in the Kannawa area of Beppu, set amid the steam and springs that define this hot-spring district. The property retains a wooden, maze-like layout and simple, tatami-floored rooms fitted with futons; several rooms include compact kitchenettes while most guests use the shared facilities. The house emphasizes self-catering: it does not serve set meals but provides communal kitchens equipped for jigoku-mushi (steam cooking) so guests can prepare their own food using local onsen steam and ingredients.
The property offers direct access to hot-spring bathing with multiple onsen facilities on site. The main building has two public baths that alternate by gender according to a daily schedule, and an annex bath is available as a family-style option that guests may use privately when it is unoccupied; bathing hours are normally from early morning until late evening. These arrangements make YOKOSO a practical ryokan with onsen Kyushu visitors seek, and the presence of a reservable family bath qualifies it as a ryokan with private onsen Oita for travelers who want a more secluded soak.
Practical amenities are straightforward and traveler-focused: free Wi‑Fi throughout, complimentary on-site parking, luggage storage, and coin-operated cooling with complimentary heating in colder months. Check-in and check-out times are managed to match local rhythms, and there is a nightly curfew to respect the quiet neighborhood; the inn sits within walking distance of Kannawa’s steam vents and the nearby Hells of Beppu, making it a convenient base for guests interested in hands-on hot-spring experiences and short explorations of the wider Beppu area.
