The Owner Bibo is a friendly handsome guy~ The ryokan is a good experience of Japanese lifestyle accommodation. The room is well divided into living area and sleeping area. It's tidy and warm and the futon is extremely comfortable. Happy Neko located in the center of Kannawa. We can just in a 5-mins walk to the various onsen and restaurant.... More

The owner, Bibo, greatfully welcomed us in the tatami suite with providing us useful tips on onsens, cuisine and restaurants. He gave us a map he did with his personal favourites we tried and were happy with. The room is huge: one sleeping room and another with a coffee table you can use for your breakfast. The room is luminous... More

I stayed at a studio 2 apartment for two nights. The rooms are clean, spacious, and provides free laundry to boot! It's within reasonable walking distance to many restaurants and onsen. This is where you bathe in town; it's why tourists come here in the first place! Bibo is a great host who went into much (almost too much) detail... More

We had the most wonderful time at Happy Neko. Bibo was always ready to help with our every need, and the apartment was spacious, clean, well-equipped and superbly located in one of Beppu's main onsen areas within walking distance of beautiful hot springs and the Jigoku sights. Beautiful traditional buildings and streets nearby, and a variety of delicious retaurants that... More

Happy Neko is a wonderful place. We were staying only for just one night, but Bibo was very helpful that we could make the best out of the short time we had in Beppu. The place is very clean. It is very near to the onsen part so Happy Neko is the best choice!! Thank you for the wonderful time!

Happy Neko is a relaxing place to stay in an interesting part of Beppu. Bibo's help from picking us up at the station ( very cheap) to suggesting hot springs and restaurants was extremely good and allowed us to do so much during our short stay. The rooms were very reasonably priced and gave my family a chance to experience... More

This was the first time we went to Beppu and we (8 people) were not frequent travellers to Japan so had got a lot of questions to ask and the host shaerd his views without any hestation before we arrived. Upon arrival, he again explained to us the details nearby so we could be able to get what we wanted... More

Happy Neko is a great place to stay in Beppu. Bibo is an extremely kind and helpful host who took time to tell us all about the area and places we might like to visit. He also helped us out with lifts on arrival and departure for a very small charge. We stayed in the large shared room which was... More

My friends and I started our hot spring experience in Beppu with a mud bath and were happy as pigs in mud at Happy Neko. Bibo and his wife are lovely helpful people and we were so impressed with the service we received! Especially the drop off, Bibo you saved us! We stayed in the tatami suite with snugly warm... More
