EXCEPTIONAL DINING. The meal prepared by the chef Kitano Osamu was exceptional. From the outside, it looks like a standard Kaiseki meal but details were all there. The sashimi was really good including hotate. Chawanmushi was just the right temperature. Hanasaki crab with miso flavoured broth was just perfect. Tempura was perfect. Clear soup was just right and Chirimen gohan was the right amount. The second night's meal including sukiyaki, abalone and toriten were also outstanding. I couldn't ask for a better Kaiseki. The meal service was also perfect. FRONT STAFF were great. The evening piano & flute mini concert was very pleasant. AMAZING VIEW (Oceanside).

1. The room was very spacious for three people. 2. The view from our room was gorgeous and you can watch the sunrise if you wake up early enough. 3. The breakfast provided was fabulous. It was a traditional Japanese style one and the food provided was different day by day. Hence, you should not feel bored with the food! 4. There are two public onsen baths in the hotel, and one is indoor and the other one is outdoor. The opening hours for both onsen baths are quite long so you shouldn't need to worry about if you have to rush back to the hotel after a full day visit around the city.

We booked rooms with half-board which included the traditional Japanese breakfast and dinner. The tatami rooms were very spacious with a sea view (at the waterfront). The food was plenty and tasty. As we booked for 2 nights with half-board, they made sure to offer different menues over the 2 days (9-course dinner). There were an indoor and roof-top/outdoor common onsen-baths with sufficient space for relaxing. The hotel personnel was very friendly.

the staff are al very friendly and considerate. we checked in late the first night so would have missed our dinner. but they let us know they'd wait for us which was comforting. the onsen on the rooftop was lovely with great seaview. Our room with the sea view was beautiful.

The staff were lovely - polite, friendly and helpful. The room was basic but spotless - the whole hotel was clean, and smelt nice too. There are a few fantastic restaurants / izakayas in the same area, and it's a 10-min walk to the station. It was also excellent value and I'm glad I stayed here overall.

The view from the room and all the meals we had were wonderful. The facility is a bit old but kept clean. The room was spacious and we would have liked it more if the futon mats were thicker. Roten-buro was nice.

This is a great location by the sea. We had a corner room, so we had a great view from two sides and managed to check in as the sun was setting. The room had its own bathroom, but of course, we used the onsen. Breakfast was amazing, a full traditional Japanese breakfast.

This was probably the best place we stayed in Japan. We booked the room with the private onsen that looked out onto the ocean, it was absolutely stunning. The traditional breakfast was so beatiful, very different to our usual breakfast but nonetheless delicious, you have to try it at least once and i'm glad we did. The staff were very helpful with looking after our bags before we checked in. We smashed all the Jigoku (hells) in the afternoon and had a blast. Our only regret is not staying in beppu longer.

onsen was excellent, beautiful view and very relaxing - loved how it was open for both an early morning bath and late evening, too! Food was excellent - loved the variety (didn’t need to add the western dishes as the traditional Japanese selection was plenty!)

Love this hotel even though it was a little far from the metro station. The selling point is that it provides tranquility and really lovely outdoor onsen (you’d have to get used to the tradition of not wearing clothes during the public soak of course). Breakfast was great too!
