Selected entries from the current guide for Beppu.
Beppu, Japan
Tabelog Silver Award winner for 2025 and 2026, Beppu Hirokado is an eight-seat counter restaurant in Oita's Horita district, placing Kyushu's regional produce at the centre of a kaiseki-influenced omakase format. Dinner and lunch courses run JPY 30,000–39,999. Bookings open up to three months ahead via TableCheck or OMAKASE, and the counter fills well in advance.
Beppu, Japan
Atelier places Beppu’s hotel dining in a sharper frame: French and innovative cooking filtered through Oita’s produce culture, with Tabelog 100 Yoshoku WEST 2025 recognition giving it weight beyond the resort setting. The appeal is not spectacle but the way a hot-spring city, rural supply lines, and a compact dining room can make Western-form cooking feel local rather than imported.
Beppu, Japan
Beppu’s beef cooking has a different center of gravity from the city’s seafood-and-izakaya circuit: regional cattle, teppanyaki discipline, and a room built for deliberate pacing. Bungo Beef Steak no Mise Somuri Beppu honten sits in that lane, with Tabelog Steak / Teppanyaki WEST 100 recognition in 2024 and 2025 giving it a clear signal beyond local reputation.
Beppu, Japan
Gyoza Kogetsu is a gyoza specialist in Beppu, Oita Prefecture, operating within a city better known for its onsen culture than its restaurant scene. The restaurant sits inside a local dining tradition where direct technique and quality sourcing carry more weight than culinary theatre. For visitors working through Beppu's food options, it represents the category's regional character in concentrated form.
Beppu, Japan
Karin gives Beppu a compact, serious dumpling address rather than another resort-town dining room. Its Tabelog 100 Dumplings 2024 selection, 20-seat format, counter-and-tatami setup, and Chinese-Sichuan category place it in a small, ingredient-led corner of the city’s evening dining scene, where gyoza carries the meal rather than acts as a side order.
Beppu, Japan
Kogetsu puts Beppu’s cold-noodle tradition in a plain-spoken, low-cost format that matters more than its modest room suggests. The draw is regional specificity: buckwheat-flour noodles, cabbage kimchi, and beef chashu in a city better known to many travelers for steam, baths, and seafood. Its 2024 Tabelog 100 selection for Asian and ethnic cuisine in WEST gives the shop a credential beyond local habit.
Beppu, Japan
Norary-Crary gives Beppu’s dining scene a small-format Indian curry address with a vegetable-forward brief and repeated Tabelog 100 recognition for Asian and ethnic cuisine in WEST Japan. The draw is not resort polish but a compact, locally grounded counterpoint to hot-spring-town seafood, beef, and izakaya routines.
Beppu, Japan
Beppu’s hot-spring city identity gives Otto e Sette Oita a sharper frame than a standard regional Italian address. Its Tabelog Italian WEST “Tabelog 100” selections in 2023 and 2025, fish-led cooking, and drinks program spanning wine, sake, shochu, and cocktails place it in the smaller tier of Kyushu restaurants where Italian technique is used to read local produce rather than imitate Tokyo dining.
Beppu, Japan
Seafood Izakaya Ren places Beppu’s station-area izakaya culture in its most seafood-focused register: counter seats, tatami seating, sake and shochu, and a kitchen defined by fish rather than spectacle. Its selection for Tabelog 100 Izakaya WEST in 2024 and 2025 gives it a stronger signal than the average hot-spring-town tavern, especially for travellers choosing dinner near Beppu Station.
Beppu, Japan
TANE brings Indian and Indian-curry cooking into Beppu’s compact dining scene, where hot-spring travel usually points visitors toward seafood, izakaya counters, and Bungo beef. Its Tabelog 100 Asian cuisine / Ethnic cuisine WEST selections in 2023 and 2024 give it a clear credential beyond local convenience, especially for travelers looking beyond the city’s ryokan-dinner rhythm.
Beppu, Japan
Tom Yum Kung. gives Beppu a serious Thai and Asian counterpoint to its onsen-town dining habits: small-scale, ingredient-led, and far more structured than casual curry or izakaya eating. Recognition from Tabelog 100 Asian/Ethnic WEST in 2022, 2023, and 2024, plus a 2018 Michelin Guide Kumamoto Oita Bib Gourmand, puts it in a rare Kyushu category for destination-minded diners.
Beppu, Japan
Beppu is better known for steam and seafood than beef counters, which makes Yakiniku Ichiriki a sharper entry in the city’s dining mix. Its Tabelog Yakiniku WEST 100 selection in 2025 places it in a regional conversation about Japanese barbecue, not just a local dinner option.
Beppu, Japan
On the third floor of a Beppu shopping arcade, Bepper's Tavern occupies an address that tells you something about how this hot-spring city organises its eating culture: above the street-level noise, away from the obvious tourist corridors. The tavern format positions it within Beppu's mid-tier dining scene, a category that has grown considerably as the city's reputation for ingredient-driven Oita Prefecture cooking spreads beyond domestic travel circles.
Beppu, Japan
Hatano serves traditional kaiseki in Beppu, Japan, with a sake program and formal, quiet private dining at Japan, 〒874-0823 Oita, Beppu, Minamitateishi, 二区１８５１−４０.
Beppu, Japan
In Beppu, a city defined by its onsen culture and understated local dining, Ikkyu no Namida occupies a quiet but distinct place in the restaurant scene. The name alone, translating roughly to 'Ikkyu's Tear', suggests a sensibility rooted in Japanese literary and aesthetic tradition. For visitors moving through Oita Prefecture's most visited city, this is a table worth seeking out.

Selected entries from the current guide for Beppu.
Beppu, Japan
A Michelin-keyed resort where the thermal waters of Kannawa meet the kind of structured, undemonstrative luxury that ANA-brand properties have long delivered. Eighty-nine rooms and suites sit above a HARNN Heritage Spa drawing directly from Beppu's famed hot springs, and a French restaurant anchors an unusually strong food-and-drink program for a Japanese onsen destination.
Beppu, Japan
Galleria Midobaru is a Michelin Selected property in Beppu, Oita Prefecture, occupying a forested hillside position that reflects the area's tradition of combining onsen culture with considered hospitality. Recognised in the Michelin Guide Hotels & Stays 2025, it sits in the quieter, design-conscious tier of Beppu accommodation, distinct from the resort-scale properties closer to the waterfront.
Beppu, Japan
A Michelin Selected property in Beppu's Midobaru district, Terrace Midoubaru sits within one of Oita Prefecture's quieter corners, where thermal spring culture and forested hillsides shape the guest experience. The address at 5 Hotta places it in a neighbourhood that draws travellers looking for considered design and proximity to nature rather than the bustle of Beppu's main onsen strip.
