Experience of the stay
You can also use the Amaneque Beppu facility located next to this building. The view from the large public bath on the 14th floor was nice, but the view from the rooftop pool above it was even better! It is a heated pool, so I was able to get in even in April. Therefore, I recommend bringing your swimsuit even during times other than summer. Even if you don't use it at this pool, there are other onsen facilities in Beppu that require swimsuits, so it's better to bring one just in case.
The hotel itself had a compact room, but this time I had a corner room which gave a sense of openness and there was no feeling of confinement. I thought it was just right for solo travelers. I used it during the festival period, and the park right in front was also a festival venue, so I could hear the sounds of the festival from my room, which was nice to feel the festival vibe. By evening, there were no more events, so it wasn't noisy all night (Personally, I wouldn't have minded if the festival lasted until night... since it was a special occasion).
To use the large public bath and pool, I had to go to the neighboring Amaneque. Although it was close, it wasn't connected by a roof, so I felt some inconvenience on rainy days. I thought it would be nice to have a covered walkway.
Although the accommodation fee was reasonable, I was very satisfied with the ability to use the large public bath and heated pool, and its proximity to Beppu Station.
Experiences during the trip
In Beppu, I enjoyed the 'Hell Tour' and the 'Beppu Hachiyu Onsen Festival'. First, regarding the classic 'Hell Tour', I honestly didn't have high expectations... it was more of a casual decision to go since I was in Beppu. However, it exceeded my expectations, and I was glad I went. Out of the seven hells, I could only visit two this time, but the facilities were well-maintained, clean, and I was very satisfied. I want to visit the other hells on my next opportunity.
Also, since I traveled during the 'Beppu Hachiyu Onsen Festival', I enjoyed the festival as well. They held an event called the Yubukkake Festival... although they splash hot spring water on you, I felt a bit chilly in April. Nevertheless, it was fun to participate in such a festival on Beppu's main street.
