Experience of the stay
A hotel with a natural hot spring and high-concentration carbonated spring directly connected to Oita station, featuring a rooftop spa. At 6 AM, I relaxed in the hot spring while watching the Sunflower ship arriving from the open-air bath. From the front lobby on the 8th floor, I could access the rooftop garden, which had the Railway Shrine and the Dream Come True Bunbun Do. The hotel was well located, directly connected to the commercial facilities at Oita station, and offered everything, making it a great hotel with an onsen. Although I stayed for two nights, I found it more relaxing than the hot springs in Beppu. The breakfast was outstanding, costing 2200 yen for a Japanese-style boxed meal, with Oita's specialty, Toriten, and a half-buffet that was delicious. Additionally, I ordered their mini tantan noodles, which they made fresh and were delicious as well. I would love to stay here again when I come to Oita. However, the parking entrance is somewhat confusing, so it's better to check the website for directions before using it.
Experiences during the trip
I enjoyed a three-day stay in Oita with a rental car.
I rented a car at Oita Airport and learned that Usa Jingu has two bows, four claps, and one bow, as well as being the head shrine of all Hachiman shrines nationwide.
I then visited Showa Town in Bungotakada, the Beppu Hell tour, and the monkeys at Takasakiyama.
On the second day, I looked at the Usuki Stone Buddhas and the Harajiri Falls from a suspension bridge, enjoyed the shiba sakura and tulips at Kuju Flower Park, and walked in the carbonated spring at Kua Park Nagayu wearing a swimsuit.
On the third day, I was tired and returned early to Oita Airport. It was a fulfilling trip to Oita.
