I went with my husband. I have nothing but regrets.I should have read the reviews carefully.I thought the parking lot was free, but it turned out to be paid. The room and the food...I felt like crying.The unit bath smells bad and the towels are frayed and in tatters. Let's look forward to the family bath! I was looking forward to it, but I think its location is completely visible from the nearby inn and the apartment building across the street. The only saving grace was that the night sky was beautiful.You could also take a walk along the nearby seaside, so I think this is an inn only for people who really want to stay with their dog.It's been a trip that I want to erase from my memory.

Visited with my dog ​​🙌 The receptionist was very responsive (even though he was from a foreign country, he was polite and fluent in Japanese), and I was given a set of wet tissues and churu for my dog, which was very helpful 👍There is an outdoor dog run (from December 2023) on the side of the room, and you can see Beppu Tower, which was beautiful ✨There is a grassy course within walking distance where you can take a walk while looking out at the ocean, which felt great♪Dinner was voluminous and the Oita Wagyu beef was very delicious🤤We were also given a cage for free so we could eat our meals in our room slowly! !Even though the room is tatami, there aren't many other places that allow dogs.Also, Yuka, who was in charge of the room, was amazing😆She knew everything about Beppu and told me a lot about recommended spots, directions, landmarks, etc., and I really liked the conversation lolThank you for your kind response that makes me want to come back again! !I chose this place at the end of my trip around Kyushu, and it was very nice 💕 The hot water was great, I took a lot of water, and the open-air bath was also pleasant ♨Thank you for the dog-friendly accommodation 🐶

📅2024-JuneThis is my 4th time stopping by to use the hot springs.The front man is kind.I would like to stay there someday.2020-1The large bath with a center pole is distinctive. Several guests, including families, were taking a bath.There was also a bathroom for small dogs🐶 called [Wanko Yu].There was a teddy bear 🐻 at the entrance so we took a commemorative photo 😆I was left with a good impression of the staff at the front desk.🍀Sodium, calcium, magnesium - chloride spring.Hydrogen carbonate spring (hypotonic, neutral, high temperature spring)Bathing fee 600 yen → Half price with hot spring book 300 yen

I don't understand people who want to bring their pets with them. This guy must be letting his dog lick the hotel food dishes. It's hygienic to reuse it. Animals will urinate and poop all over the room, which is really creepy.

I used it for an overnight stay.It is located near the express bus stop, making it a very convenient location for those using the express bus.Unfortunately, the rooftop open-air bath was reserved for a fee due to coronavirus precautions. ★-1The large public bath has a fairly large number of springs, and the hot spring water is slightly lukewarm, flowing directly from the source.Even though it's old, it has a nice clean feel to it.As a smoker, it's nice to be able to smoke in your room!Apparently you can also bring your dog with you, and you can hear their cries all the way to your room.However, since the time was within a reasonable range of common sense, I will not ask this question this time.I think this is a good inn as a base for sightseeing in Beppu!

I went there with my dog ​​in the spring.A hotel where you can stay with your dog all the time except for the large public bath ❤️The food was served in the room and the table full of feasts was amazing.The dog run was beautiful and I could see Beppu Tower, so it felt good♪I don't like public baths, but the hot water in the bathtub felt so good that I was able to overcome my fear.The dog didn't sleep because he was bothered by the noise, and the next day's tour of hell seemed like hell 😃

The location is good. I think it's good to bring your pet with you, and it's nice to take a walk at night. However, it is extremely unethical to make the bed during dinner without a single request. As for the facilities, the water flow in the washroom is poor, and even though the shower head in the bathroom provides hot water, only water comes out all the time. If you don't flush the toilet while checking carefully, it won't flush properly. However, the food is delicious, and as I've said many times before, it's great that they specialize in pets (o^-')b!
