Overview
Beppu Onsen Shinhorii is an 8-room Japanese-style ryokan in a quiet spot, a 3-minute walk from the west exit of JR Beppu Station. You can settle in comfortably in the sukiya-style tatami rooms, and the onsen comes straight from the ryokan's own source with no heating and no added water, in two private-hire family baths named Komorebi no Yu and Soma no Yu, available 24 hours a day apart from cleaning times. No reservation is needed, so whenever a bath is free you can use it, and bathing with a small child is easy without worrying about other guests. Breakfast is Japanese-style, including dango-jiru (a soup with flat wheat-flour dumplings), and is served in the third-floor hall. Children up to age 2 stay free of charge, and children from age 3 through elementary school pay 80% of the adult rate.
Rooms
There are 8 rooms in total, all sukiya-style Japanese-style tatami rooms: 5 rooms of 6 to 8 tatami mats, and 3 rooms of 10 tatami mats with a 3-to-5-tatami anteroom. Down futon bedding is used, and every room has a toilet with a warm-water washing function and a washbasin. Every room also has a TV, a refrigerator, an electric kettle, a hair dryer and an air purifier with a humidifying function, and the entire ryokan is non-smoking. The 10-tatami rooms with an anteroom sleep up to 5 guests, so they work for family stays as well.
Dining
For breakfast you can choose a start time of 7:30, 8:00 or 8:30 a.m., and it is served in the third-floor hall. Alongside dango-jiru (a soup with flat wheat-flour dumplings) come grilled fish, an onsen egg, small side dishes, nori seaweed, pickles and rice. Dinner is not served, and the lively downtown area of Beppu is a 7 to 8-minute walk away, so you will be looking for a place you like outside. Even if you book a room-only stay, breakfast can be added for 980 yen if you request it by 8 p.m. the day before.
Baths and Onsen
The water is 100% natural onsen from the ryokan's own source, flowing freely with no heating and no added water at all. There are two private-hire family baths, Komorebi no Yu and Soma no Yu, available to use 24 hours a day apart from cleaning times, with no reservation required.
