Experience of the stay
It's about a 10-minute walk from Oita Station, which is a bit far to be called 'near' the station, but not an unwalkable distance, making it usable as a sightseeing base.
Right nearby is Oita Funai Castle, one of the 100 famous castles in Japan, where you can drop off your luggage and walk around to sightsee.
As for amenities, there are men's and women's lotions placed at the front desk.
There is also a coin laundry and vending machines, making it recommended for business use as well.
The room is of average size, but it has essential items like a humidifier and a charger already placed there, which is helpful.
Cleaning was also well attended to.
The sleepwear provided was a one-piece type.
Experiences during the trip
I walked at night to see the light-up of Oita Funai Castle nearby. There is no main keep here, so it's a spot to enjoy the remains such as moats and stone walls.
It's only a few minutes by train to Beppu, so I used it as a base for my sightseeing in Beppu.
