What guests think

Kannawaen draws praise for spacious rooms with private onsens, attentive service, and serene views over Beppu, while its location beside the Jigoku attractions is convenient; dining is widely appreciated, though a few guests noted inconsistencies and occasional operational shortcomings.

Guests often enjoy the rooftop public baths, private in-room soaking tubs, and calming gardens, with occasional remarks about a small or view-obstructed bath and the lounge feeling closed-in. Housekeeping standards are generally high, though a few guests noticed cooking or paint smells, debris in a bath, or outdoor areas needing tidying. Overall, this is a quiet, restorative base for Beppu onsen trips rather than an out-and-about city stay.

I usually do not give ratings but this time I feel that I have to let people know how amazing this Ryokan/hotel is. First the location is right in the middle of Beppus 7 Hells. You walk out and around corner they are! Second the hotel has breathtaking views of Beppu and the sea. Third the ryokan do not look much from the street but boy when you walk in you are surrounded by absolutely beautiful japanese garden, pond and architecture. Fourth, all the 4 rooms we had had own beautiful onsen bath in them. Could not believe it how great it was. Fifth, there is an amazing public onsen on the rooftop with great views of Beppu and the sea with inside and open air onsens with beautiful garden and traditional japanese steam saunas which were the first for me and great experience. Sixth, the food!! We had half board and i strongly suggest it. not only the japanese breakfast is served in a unique way but the dinners… Delicious teppanyaki served right in front of you with amazing views of the city and second evening delicious 8 course Kaiseki served in perfect way. Just perfect! And last but absolutely not least: the service! The hotel staff goes beyond everything to make your stay perfect. I have travelled in Japan now about 30 times and I know it is in the custom but this is something else! If you go to Beppu stay here!! Thank you everybody there making our Beppu stay absolutely perfect and hope to visit you soon enough!

We booked half-board accommodation for a room with a private outdoor onsen. That was a great decision. We can enjoy the onsen anytime we want. The place was clean and spacious with separate room for my daughter (which is tatami), ours have 2 large double beds. We loved the onsite mud bath particularly, only downside was it’s for women only so my husband didn’t get to enjoy. Dinner on both nights were delicious, waygu beef shabu shabu for one night and beef teppanyaki for the other. Highly recommended.

(버스정류장에서 올라가는길이 언덕이라 짐이 있으면 힘들긴한데 70대 부모님도 조금은 힘들어하셨지만 불만없이 잘 올라오셨어요) 숙소는 소라방했는데 방도 넓고 어메니티도 훌륭해요. 방안에 있는 스파는 사진보다 퀄리티면에서 아주아주 좋았어요! 저녁은 테판야끼로 변경하고, 조식은 3명에서 양식/일식 각각 먹었는데 식사도 너무 만족스러웠어요~ 한국말 하시는 남자 직원분이 계셔서 걱정을 많이했는데 너무 편안했고 식사 자리에서도 설명해주시고 음식맛은 어땠는지 여쭤봐 주셨어요. 다른 직원분들도 서비스가 너무 좋아서 대만족이에요! 숙소 크기에 비해 대욕장은 생각보다 작았어요~ 다음에는 대가족으로 독채로 장기투숙하려구요! 부모님 모시고 간 첫 여행이었는데 좋은 기억 남겨주셔서 감사했습니다~

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.

The rooms are very dated, and smell bad to the point it’s hard to sleep. And to add to it there was an enormous spider that was climbing around the room. It was the size of my hand. Paying around $800/night one would expect more peace. The dinner and breakfast was good, but nothing too special. I had to book a different hotel to sleep at for the second night of our stay, at around $200 and it was much nicer inside. I don’t ever complain about rooms and have stayed at many ryokans across Japan but this was simply not comfortable. I know it’s an old place in a great location but I want to keep it real for anyone else looking to splurge on an expensive stay like this.

Excellent!!! Loved our stay. Our room was so big and spacious. It was a traditional Japanese room. It was located right on top on the pond. The private onsen was heaven. We reserved for teppanyaki dinner and it was so delicious. Breakfast was excellent as well. The staff are so nice. We received free taxi ride to and from the station. The taxi driver was so nice as well. He was like a personal tour guide for the whole ride. Thank you so much and would love to stay here again.

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.

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.

Western breakfast could have been better.

The food is ok, but overpriced. The Onsen is far from the room, the way to the Onsen could be cold in the winter. Staff and service are just ok, not to a level that can match the price they charged. There are still constructions ongoing, you can smell fresh paint in some area.

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.

픽업서비스가 있어서 편안하게 숙소에 방문했고 룸컨디션은 아주 훌륭했습니다 객실안에 실내온천도 있고 대욕장에서 보이는 밤하늘 별도 아름다웠습니다 직원분들은 친절했고 다만 첫날은 한국어하시는분이 휴가라 조금 아쉬웠지만 큰 문제는 없었습니다 식사가 아주 훌륭했고 정성스러워서 만족스러웠습니다 근처에 편의점이 없어 15분정도 가야했는데 간김에 동네 둘러보고 뭐 나쁘지 않았습니다 지옥온천이 바로 앞에 있어 관광코스가 좋았습니다

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.

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.

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.

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!

10대부터 70대가 함께한 가족여행. 모두가 만족한 숙소였습니다. 침실도, 화장실도, 개인욕실도 멋있고 데판요리도, 조식도 모두 맛있게 즐겼습니다. 다음에 또 꼭 오고 싶습니다.

選擇包早晚餐，早餐可以，晚餐好差，一晚食鐵板燒，一晚食懷石料理，鐵板燒廚師給我的感覺是，食鹽好像不用錢買，海鮮本身自帶咸味，都落好多食鹽，牛扒也一樣，浪費食材，第二晚，懷石料理，我們遲了半小時，到達餐廳，已經放了食物在枱面看見感覺好差勁，為什客人沒到達，食物就上枱。餐飲方面要改善，員工方面，全部都好好，由其是大堂部，尹小姐，好內心聆聽，因為我不會說普通話。
