Romantic Hotels in Oita Prefecture, Japan

Loved this hotel. The location is great, and the staff were very helpful throughout my stay. I got a room with a view of the parking lot, which wasn’t the best, but it was still fine. You can also open the window, which I really appreciated. The room wasn’t very big, but it was clean, and the bed was large and very comfortable. The layout was also well thought out — there was plenty of space to sit and enough convenient places to put your things. My favorite part was definitely the onsen — just wow. There was one large indoor bath with an incredible city view (especially impressive since it’s on the top floor), and my absolute favorite was the smaller outdoor onsen. You could just lie back, look out over the city, and relax. What I especially loved was that even though it was cold outside, the water temperature was perfectly hot. The rooftop pool was also fantastic. The water was heated, and the view from there was just as incredible. The only downside for me was the number of people. There were a lot of tourists, so breakfast could get quite crowded, but if you go at the right time, it’s much better.  after opening time it will be ok.

Our stay at Yufuin ”Tano-kura” was absolutely flawless. First off, the service was truly top-notch. Our dedicated staff member (SIC) was incredibly professional and attentive, taking exceptional care of us throughout our visit. What really put us at ease was their meticulous attention to confirming food allergies, which allowed us to fully enjoy the exquisite and delicious cuisine without any worries. Every interaction, from the introduction to the hotel facilities to the meal service in our room, was handled with utmost politeness and respect. The environment was impeccably clean and tidy, making for a wonderfully comfortable stay. This trip truly allowed us to relax completely; we left feeling fully recharged and revitalized. Our sincere thanks for such a perfect experience!

The hotel's location is quite far from the station, about a 25-minute walk. However, they do offer pick-up and drop-off service from the station, which we didn't arrange beforehand. Walking along the road for a stretch was a bit tough. On the upside, the surroundings of the hotel are very quiet. The room style is a bit old-fashioned but spacious. The evening onsen was great, I had it all to myself. Dinner was plentiful, but breakfast was just okay, though the dining environment was pleasant. The hotel service was decent, and the owner was quite understanding. However, the front desk staff wasn't very friendly; they wouldn't let us check in even ten minutes early. Eventually, the owner approved an early check-in. It's a nice touch that they offer a free shuttle service to the train station when you check out.

The entire hotel has a Japanese-style design, and you have to take off your shoes and store them in the lobby upon entering. The hot spring is on the top floor and features 7 family baths, available on a first-come, first-served basis. I'd heard good things about the dinner at the downstairs restaurant, but by the time we checked in, it was already fully booked for the night and they only serve guests with reservations. So, if you plan to dine there, make sure to book in advance! We drove here, but it seems very convenient if you take the JR, as the hotel is only about 100 meters from Beppu Station.

My stay at Grand Mercure Beppu Bay Resort & Spa was truly wonderful. The rooms were spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, offering stunning views of Beppu Bay. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to assist, making the experience feel personal and relaxing. The hot springs and spa facilities were exceptional, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The breakfast buffet offered a great variety of local and international dishes, all fresh and delicious. Overall, it’s an excellent resort for both leisure and comfort — I would definitely stay here again!

The hotel is located halfway up the mountain, so it's more convenient if you're driving. We booked breakfast and dinner, and the food was absolutely amazing; you definitely have to try it if you stay here. My favorite part was the private hot spring in the room. I'd come back again if I get the chance.

The environment is absolutely stunning, and the service is incredibly professional! Both the breakfast and dinner buffets were delicious! Our room even had a hot spring bath ♨️ and an amazing sea view! **Cleanliness:** Super clean! **Facilities:** They have both a washing machine and a dryer, which is really convenient and well-equipped.

The room and the Onsen were EXACTLY like those in the listing and were absolutely stunning! The breakfast was delicious and the range more than adequate. The location is good if you drive but is about 1km walk to Beppu Tower and a bit more from the night street. But I’d happily trade that for the spacious room and the wonderful sea and sunrise view.

The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from the bus stop or JR station. The owner was very friendly and provided guidance on how to use each onsen. Any questions were welcome. There were two other Japanese families staying that day, making us three groups. We all took turns enjoying the onsen, eliminating the need for competition and allowing for leisurely enjoyment. The water was very hot, and there were two large onsen rooms with ample space. Dinner was delicious, with the A5 Wagyu beef grilled in the grill. The mushroom dishes were surprisingly tasty. You don't get such a rich texture in Hong Kong; they're usually dry after grilling, but the mushrooms here were very juicy and springy. Beer and soda are available for a fee, and the prices are reasonable. The room is a two-story stand-alone building with a living room on the lower level and a tatami room on the upper level. There are two toilets, and the space is clean and spacious. Yukata, bath towels, and disposable towels are provided. It's very complete. The owner has a beautiful variety of flowers and plants, so please enjoy them. I highly recommend staying here. It's a great value.

Super satisfied! Full of memories! The reception staff are very friendly, courteous and take good care of the children 👍🏻 They also respond to requests quickly and efficiently! Our room is a two-story independent house. It is very spacious, clean and comfortable, and fully equipped. It has a private hot spring and a high degree of privacy. It is very convenient to soak in the hot spring with the children. Dinner and breakfast are provided, and the food quality is very good~ Very attentive! Highly recommended!
