TOP5 Best Hotels and Ryokans with Private Onsen in Kyushu
The ryokans and resort hotels listed below have some wonderful rooms with private onsens, and once you stay there, you will want to stay again and again. Then if you want to soak in the private onsens and enjoy the spectacular views, the season you visit would be key.
If you are visiting in spring, early summer, or fall, Myoken Ishiharaso or Tsumikusa No Yado Komatsu Ryokan would be the best choices. In spring and early summer you can enjoy the beautiful fresh green leaves, and in autumn, you can enjoy the changing of the leaves. If you are planning to stay in summer or winter, I would recommend IKI Retreat KAIRI MURAKAMI or AMANE resort SEIKAI. Because on a clear day, you can see the fantastic blue ocean, blue sky, sunset and sunrise.
Also, ANA InterContinental Beppu Resort & Spa, an IHG Hotel, offers a spectacular view while soaking in private onsens all year round when the weather is nice. In particular, rooms with a view of Beppu Bay or Beppu City are preferable to those on the mountain side.
