Kijima Kogen Hotel sits in the highlands, about 2.7 km from the Beppu Ropeway, so that’s a short trip for mountain views. The main Beppu sights, like Beppu Park and the Hells of Beppu, are 6.4 to 7.4 km away, which means a car or bus ride to reach them. The hotel is well placed for exploring both Beppu and Yufuin, as it’s midway between the two. For a base focused on the ropeway and the highland resort area, it’s convenient; for the city’s core attractions, plan on transit or driving. The on-site restaurant and hot springs make it a comfortable spot to return to after a day out.
