Experience of the stay
I had a wonderful experience watching the sunrise while soaking in the outdoor bath in my room. The sunrise time was written on a card I received at check-in, so I was perfectly on schedule. As I relaxed and watched the morning sun, I could also see the arrival of the Sunflower Ferry!
I didn’t have high expectations for the in-room bath, but the water was surprisingly good, and I ended up soaking in both the large communal bath and my room's bath multiple times.
I added breakfast later, and every dish was of high quality, making me want to try everything. At the egg station, I was able to order eggs benedict and omelets, and at the salad corner, even Caprese sandwiches, but I was too full to eat more.
This time, I arrived late and missed out on the welcome drink, so next time I plan to arrive earlier and enjoy the hotel even more.
Experiences during the trip
Using the airline ticket I won from the HafH travel lottery, I visited Beppu for the first time. I was unsure whether to rent a car, but the bus service in front of the hotel was frequent, so I had no trouble getting around. I later realized that there was a service to store bags at Beppu Station and provide shuttle service to the hotel, which would have made sightseeing more efficient if I had used it.
I bought a one-day bus pass and enjoyed the hell tour! I tasted the famous jigoku mushi pudding, saw various hot springs, and enjoyed foot baths, making for a fulfilling day.
For dinner, since I didn't include it with the hotel package, I walked about 15 minutes to Kamegawa Marina Terrace and had a Seki horse mackerel and mackerel set meal. I was truly impressed by the freshness of the sashimi! I was able to enjoy fried horse mackerel and other dishes all at once, which was a fantastic deal.
After checking out, I enjoyed the famous sand bath and visited other public baths before my flight, making for a fulfilling trip!
