“Grand Verde Resort” in Beppu, Oita Prefecture is a glamping facility in Tenma Grassland between Beppu and Yufuin. It is equipped with a dome tent, open-air bath, and sauna, and a Bengal cat, Jack, lives at the front desk.
Resident cat Jack on his lap
According to the 2025 Rakuten Travel Resident Cat Rankings, Jack is a friendly cat who sometimes climbs into the lap of a cat lover sitting on the front sofa and nuzzles with his paws.
This site classifies it as B because there are specific examples of guests touching themselves in common areas. Guest-room visits cannot be confirmed. Jack will decide whether to sit on your lap or not, so don’t pick him up or force him to sit.
Dome tents scattered on the grassland
