Beach Hotels in Beppu

The hotel is in a very good location, close to the bus station, JR station and several large shopping malls. The hotel hot spring is also good, but the outdoor hot spring is not satisfactory and the facilities are very simple. The room is big enough. The only regret is the breakfast. The American set meal and a hamburger are enough to fill you up, but it doesn't feel like Japan. It's okay to eat it once in a while, but I feel a little uncomfortable after eating it for two consecutive days. By the way, the hotel staff is very good and polite, and they didn't say that you must wait until 3 o'clock to check in. In short, except for breakfast, the price-performance ratio is still good in Beppu.

For my winter break trip to Japan, I continued exploring Kyushu, specifically Beppu and Yufuin. In Beppu, I stayed at this established onsen hotel. It wasn't expensive, and when I booked, it was the last room available. I kept checking countless times to see if a larger room would open up, but none did. My husband, due to his state-owned company job, couldn't travel, so it was just me and my son, which ended up being perfectly fine. The hotel initially even set up three futons for us in the tatami room. The onsen was very relaxing. There were a lot of Korean guests at the hotel; I noticed them all at breakfast. Our room had a sea view, which I really liked. For housekeeping, they only offer free cleaning on the third day if you stay for three consecutive nights. Otherwise, it costs 3000 yen per cleaning. We figured it wasn't worth it since we didn't have much trash anyway, and I didn't bother making the bed. The hot springs also offered sea views, though we only used them at night. Soaking in them before bed was incredibly comfortable and relaxing. Breakfast was a buffet with a good variety of local Kyushu dishes. I ate there for two days straight and didn't get tired of it. In terms of transportation, it's about a 100-meter walk from the Beppu bus terminal if you're coming from Fukuoka. The JR station is also only about a 10-minute walk away, which is very convenient. Overall, I think it offers pretty good value for money.

Not far from Beppu JR Station, about a 10-minute walk with luggage from the right-hand exit of the JR station. The hotel room isn't very big. There's a hot spring sauna with three pools plus a cold plunge pool. On the first floor, you can pick up yukatas and toiletries. The elevator is tiny. There are smoking rooms on both the first and sixth floors. There's a shopping mall and many Lawson convenience stores nearby, making it quite convenient for getting around.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Amane Resort Seikai. The room was spacious, beautifully designed, and offered a breathtaking view of the water. Having a private onsen in the room made our stay truly special and relaxing. The breakfast was exceptional, with a great selection of delicious dishes and high-quality ingredients. Every morning was a highlight of our trip. The service was outstanding throughout our stay. The staff were professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. This was one of the best hotel experiences we have had in Japan. We would gladly return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay.
