J-Hoppers Beppu Guesthouse

Relatively new and big for a guesthouse. Near Beppu station

A lovely guesthouse with a spacious, clean room and free parking available upon request. The shared area is lively and includes a small kitchen for light meals which is a nice touch. The receptionists were friendly and very helpful throughout our stay. If on-site parking is unavailable, there’s a 24-hour parking option just a 5-minute walk away at a reasonable rate. There are also plenty of eateries nearby with affordable prices. Overall, we had a great experience and would happily stay here again if we return to the city.

Staff are friendly and helpful. You can have hand-drip coffee at the shared kitchen and use the tableware.

Beppu is a truly fascinating city, but unfortunately, I encountered several drivers who were rude and unfriendly toward foreign tourists, which left me with a bad experience. However, lovely and friendly people still make up the majority. For instance, during my stay at J-Hoppers Guesthouse, I met very friendly and sweet front desk staff—it felt like the hostel might be run by a family. When I walked into the shared kitchen in the morning, the staff greeted me warmly. They also have a super cute dog who greets guests as well (I really wanted to pet it because it was just so adorable!). While visiting sight-seeing spots in Beppu, I got injured, and it was extremely painful. Since none of the staff at the attraction were able to help, I could only hope to get assistance from the front desk once I returned to the hostel. The staff provided me with antiseptic products and waterproof bandages—I am so grateful for how they rescued me from a helpless situation. Even though my wound still hurts, my heart feels warm. To help other travelers, I’d also like to share some details about the facilities. I stayed in a triple room, which was very spacious, clean, and tidy, with a separate wet and dry bathroom design. The traditional tatami mat was a bit firm, but it was a unique cultural experience. Overall, I had a great stay. As a side note, I recall there were only two power outlets in the room, so if you have a lot of electronics to charge, bringing a power ***** might be a good idea!

Good location, close to Beppu station, clean, and good service. I will book again next time.

My family loved this place, especially many onsens is within walking distance. Food street is near, bus station is near and shopping too.

The people working here are so nice! I was able to drop my luggage off early before check-in which was sooo appreciated. It’s in a quiet little neighborhood close to the train station. It seems like a lot of the attractions are in Kannawa though which was a 30 minute bus ride away. The rooms were straightforward- one bathroom in the room, not as modern but clean. They provide slippers for your room, and there are privacy curtains around the bed. There’s a kitchen downstairs available to use.
