SEKIYA RESORT GALLERIA MIDOBARU

The layout is unique—almost like a condominium—and it feels like a mysterious space where you could get lost. I got hungry in the middle of the night and made it to the vending machines to buy CalorieMate, but I did get turned around. There is a bar lounge on the second floor, and from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM you can enjoy complimentary alcohol as well. The open-air bath overlooking Beppu has an abundant flow of hot spring water. I enjoyed it all night and was able to take in the beautiful night view too. I had pre-ordered the steak course for dinner, but they also recommended pricier cuts like sirloin, which was a bit of a hassle. The ichibo steak was more than delicious enough. Breakfast is buffet-style, with your choice of one main dish such as a Spanish omelet or pot-au-feu. They also offer yogurt and homemade smoothies—it was truly delicious, well-balanced, and excellent overall. This is an Accommodation I would definitely like to visit again if I have the chance.

This was my first time staying here. It was also my first sightseeing trip to Beppu, and I’m glad I chose this Hotel. We decided to have dinner on short notice that day, and the staff handled everything politely and smoothly. It was an à la carte dinner, and every dish was delicious. Breakfast in the morning was also wonderful—you can choose a main dish, and there is a buffet with bread, salads, and more. Everything tasted great, making for a lovely breakfast time. The staff were very kind as well. The Room was clean, spacious, and comfortable—I wished I could have stayed longer. The open-air bath in the Room was also excellent. The amenities were well stocked, and since I enjoyed the Onsen many times, it was convenient to have extra towels available. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t good so we couldn’t see the view, but I imagine it would be beautiful on a clear day. It’s a place I’d like to recommend to friends. I would definitely like to stay again if I have the chance.
