AI Summary
The ryokan provides a serene atmosphere near a river, with friendly staff. Guests appreciate the rich breakfast and access to hot springs. However, some may find the proximity to cats overwhelming.

The host are very helpful, friendly and polite. The hot spring is awesome when you may enjoy it with a river view. The breakfast is nice too. Also, the homely inn is highly recommended for cats lovers. Just a mindless thing is that the host only speak Japanese but now the technique of translation is user friendly.

it's a small homey inn, amazing for cat lovers. you get to spend 1h in a room full of super friendly cats. their homemade breakfast and dinner is delicious and very filling - you even get to eat next to another room of cats!
the only downside is the location, which is 1 short train station (comes every 40mins) away from beppu station. it's a bit in the residential area, and the walk from higashibeppu station can get a bit quiet and dark, but overall still a great place to stay!

First time in Beppu . This ryokan is 20 minutes walk from Beppu station . Very quiet neighborhood, the first family mart is at 10 minutes . So not that convenient . Beppu is very quiet most of the shops and restaurants closed down to the point I had a hard time to find somewhere to eat . And also the ryokan being so far away from everything didn’t help .
As for the ryokan itself , very quiet , loved the onsen ( they have 3 separate , could use one on my own which was super nice !) the lady don’t speak English so didn’t have any contact with her or husband . The room was nice , she lent me 2 robes for the onsen . Shower and onsen on the first floor , rooms on the second . Everything was good but I would definitely recommend to stay 2 nights max , since not much to do in Beppu . Everything can be done in a day .

This ryokan is run by an old couple. The facilities aren't great for the price, but I highly recommend it if you like animals. The location isn't great, but if you want to travel leisurely, there are local restaurants 5 minutes away. I recommend stopping by on the way!

Shared restrooms and bathrooms are really inconvenient. Many rooms are transparent glass rooms dedicated to raising cats. There is still a smell in the corridor. Dinner is relatively simple, so it is not recommended to order dinner in the restaurant. Not recommended to stay either

This store is very unique. It has more than 30 different types of cats, which are very loving. And the service attitude is very good.
The food is good and the hot spring water is hot enough.

It was nice to have a separate hot spring for each room. And I highly recommend it to people who like cats. You must pay the hot spring tax levied by Beppu City separately. ^^ 250 yen per person per night

This ryokan is located within a 15-minute walk from Beppu Station and Higashi Beppu Station. There is a public hot spring, so you can take a hot spring bath, and it is located in a quiet neighborhood next to a river, making it a great place to rest quietly. The owner and everyone who served us were very friendly. Especially wherever you go inside this building, it’s a cat paradise! If you like cats, this is the best place to stay in Beppu.
