The GRAND BASE brand really knows what they're doing with family hotels in Japan - we can vouch for that after staying at both their Beppu and Nagoya locations. Their Beppu Ekihigashi spot might not be on most tourists' radar (honestly, Beppu itself is a bit off the usual tourist trail), but that's what makes it special.

If you find yourself heading to this quirky hot spring town, this hotel is a solid choice, especially if you're traveling with family. One thing that sets GRAND BASE apart is how they nail the room layouts - they actually understand that Western families need a bit more space than your typical Japanese hotel room provides.

The location right by the east side of Beppu Station means you can easily hop on a bus or train for exploring the city's famous "hells" (those wild, colorful hot springs) or checking out other Beppu attractions. Would you like me to share more specific details about the room amenities or the surrounding area?
