Top 5-Star Hotels in Hiji

Very large scale resort. All the facilities have been renovated It is very rare to find hotel rooms that are larger than 30 sq.m in Japan The snake corner at lounge are great My family and I had a good time staying at this hotel

Excellent!  A very big thumb up! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Awesome onsen, grand lobby, incredible seaview, unlimited drinks, excellent staff and clean facilities and places. Those are my descriptions to this hotel. I have a very pleasant stay with parents (aged 80+) and highly recommend! Surprising me is the front desk, can speak fluent English, Korean, etc. Special thanks to Harada san 👍🏻, she did a great job and arrange a shuttle to drive us to the airport bus stop.  Drivers are very kind as well! Breakfast is good, value for money, lots of choices, Japanese style( like sashimi rice, mackerel, salmon for grilled) and Western(toast, salad) are very fresh. Highly recommended! For dinner, this is 90 mins semi buffet style…. Nice to try, due to the “semi” set does not offer choices, and we don’t eat beef, Huy (restaurant staff) nicely offer to change to pork (takes 10 minutes to prepare) and take another 5-6 min to cook.  To me, a bit rush to get other food to finish, especially you are accompanied with disabled parents! Anyway, thanks to him, we got special menu - seafood, for my second night dinner. Honestly, the price is expensive, not worth for people don’t drink alcohol. But if you are an alcoholic, there is wide range of choices. cocktail, chardonnay, etc are soso! One “cons” is the location is a bit off from Beppu JR, if u drive, highly recommended, my case is the car break down (Toyota shop really disappointing) especially u carry aged 80+ disabled parents.

Do note that it is outskirts of hiji, driving at night is quite quiet. The hotel doesn’t have private bath in the room so do take note as showering will be shared under traditional public bath house. Family bath house is available for booking only, which the staff let us use it during the two nights there. Thank you for the great service!

Rebranded and reopened in September 2021! Ocean views and natural hot spring baths in all rooms

The room was very small, the bathroom steps were too high, the breakfast was simple but it felt very delicate. The breakfast time ended too early and the Japanese time ended at 9 o'clock. One day, the lady didn't wake up. I asked the front desk if I could bring two small breads. I was rejected... I couldn't accept it! ! ! This service is worse than hotels in the mainland. Hotel Trip.com is 2 stars, very accurate, rural express hotel. There is a 24-hour big M around, there is a supermarket opposite the big M, remember! You can cash, you can't swipe your card and IC card. Living here is mainly because it is very convenient to take the baby to Sanliou Harmony Paradise. Finally, the bus here must inform the driver where you want to get off, or he keeps, it is easy to cross the station without looking at the map. This is my experience from Oita Airport by airport bus. Remember!
