Beppu Onsen Hotel Sun Valley Annex

It was a 3-day, 2-night stay. On the first night, I had a steak bento,and on the second night, I had a sukiyaki set meal—both were delicious, with very tender meat. The breakfast buffet had slightly different menus on the first and second mornings, which was nice. I also got to make my own soft-serve ice cream! The Onsen was not crowded; the water was on the hot side, but I could relax and enjoy it. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

The limited express train to Beppu was delayed, and I planned to take a taxi from the nearest station, Beppu Daigaku Station. But it turned out to be an unmanned station, and there were no taxis waiting. When I didn’t know what to do, the Hotel called me and arranged a taxi. I was impressed by how perfectly timed it was.All the staff greeted me whenever we passed each other, and they were very pleasant. There is a nearby bus stop as well as another one a little farther away, and the farther stop has more frequent service. There are plenty of restaurants around, and you can also enjoy a walk while seeing the Sunflower ferry up close at its berth.Because the Hotel is large, it also has an open-air rock bath and a restaurant where you can enjoy Oita’s local specialties.Since I had left my luggage out, I would have liked to be told before housekeeping came in.The Shuttle Service to Beppu Station was very helpful.
