Overview
Escape to a quiet hillside retreat at the foot of Mt. Ogi in Beppu. At Totonoinoyado Shuntouan, you get a private hot spring and sauna in every room, along with a cold bath using natural underground water. This ryokan introduces a new style of travel—separating your stay from meals—so you can focus on relaxation and enjoy the food you truly want. With spacious rooms, sea views, and 100% natural hot spring water, Shuntouan gives you a deeply personal way to experience Beppu’s famous waters.
Accommodation
All 14 rooms stand separately, giving you complete privacy and space. You won’t receive in-room visits or services like futon preparation, so you can enjoy quiet time without interruptions. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with family, you’ll find a room that suits you—with comfortable beds, tatami floors, private courtyards, and plenty of room to unwind.
Each room includes a full-size private sauna, a natural water bath chilled to 16.5°C, and a flowing hot spring bath. Some rooms feature open-air rock baths or ceramic plate baths, so you can enjoy your own personalized spa-like experience without ever leaving your room.
Dining
This ryokan doesn’t serve meals, giving you the freedom to eat exactly what you want. You can bring in your favorite foods or order delivery from Beppu’s wide selection of restaurants. From gourmet spots to casual eateries, the area is full of delicious options—fresh seafood, Bungo beef, toriten (chicken tempura), karaage, and hell-steamed dishes are just a few of the local specialties.
Ask the staff for recommendations or discover hidden gems on your own. Whether you’re after an elegant dinner or a quick local bite, you can enjoy it in the comfort of your room, right after a hot bath or sauna session.
Onsen and Wellness
Every room comes with its own 100% natural hot spring bath, drawn from Beppu’s famous waters. These alkaline baths have a pH of 8.6 and are known for their skin-smoothing effects. Soak in a rock bath or a ceramic tub as steam rises gently around you.
Each room also includes a private sauna made with hinoki cypress and Beppu stone. The steam from natural hot spring water wraps around you, helping your muscles relax and your skin feel refreshed. Cool down in the natural water bath afterward and then enjoy an outdoor air bath in rooms that feature private courtyards.
