About

Daimaru Besso opened in 1865 and has operated continuously for over 160 years on a 6,500-tsubo (竕�21,500 mツイ) estate in Chikushino City. The Futsukaichi spring itself dates to over 1,300 years and is mentioned in the Manyoshu, Japan's oldest poetry anthology, having hosted travelling government dignitaries and priests for centuries. Daimaru Besso has welcomed the Showa Emperor and then-Crown Prince (now His Majesty the Emperor) 窶� the imperial visits are documented on the official site. Accommodation is split across three named wings (Taisho-tei, Heian-tei, Showa-tei) plus the private Rengyoan annex, totaling 41 rooms. The property is 30 minutes from Hakata 窶� closer than Beppu or Yufuin, making this the practical onsen choice for travelers basing in Fukuoka city. Kaiseki cuisine is described on the official site as "inventive cuisine, painstakingly prepared with only the freshest seasonal ingredients." English booking via the 489ban reservation system [verified daimarubesso.com/en 2026-06-01].
