Hotel 3 Bintang di Oguni

We found a good deal on the web site, which included discounts for having proof of vaccines, plus coupons totaling ¥8,000. I think the coupons were part of the ”Go To Travel” campaign. These coupons could only be used in Oita prefecture, by the next day. The hotel has a grand, luxurious appearance and feel, but also feels dated. After check-in, we took the shuttle bus to the outside onsen (about 5 minutes away). This was included in the price (I am not sure if it is actually owned by the hotel. There is a fee for people who are not staying at the hotel). This onsen was glorious! All the baths are outside, surrounded by trees and nature. The only caveat is that there were many stairs going down to the onsen. I did not expect that at all, and it was not easy on my knees (no problem for my partner). The other onsen in the hotel (there were two) also involved walking (it is as large hotel), and some stairs too. The floors in the onsen seemed more slippery than I remember any other onsen I have visited before. Dinner was buffet style. Due to COVID restrictions, we had to get our temperature checked, and wear plastic gloves while serving ourselves (there was a box at the table, and a container for disposal of them). The seating was partitioned, and it was very comfortable. Even though it was a buffet, there were 3 choices for seating: 5:00 pm, 6:30 pm and 8:00 pm, with a 90 minute limit. The food was good, but my partner had to stand in line at a station for freshly prepared meat for 30 minutes. Breakfast was served in the same place as dinner. We got a lower-priced deal, and our room was on the 1st floor. The hallway was a little dark compared to the other floors (which we had to access for the front desk/entrance to the hotel and to get to the dining area and the onsen). To me, there was a musty smell that my partner did not notice. The place is older, and it is right next to the river, and it was the middle of Japanese (humid) summer, and I assume not all the rooms are like this. There was a can of roach spray in the closet (which thankful we did not need!), and requests not to open the windows to prevent bugs from getting in the room. The sound and site of the river outside the window was wonderful. The beds (two twin beds) were comfortable and we got a good night's sleep. It was my partner's 50th birthday, so we mentioned this to see if they had any thing special (even for an extra charge). They gave a card and a plastic rose (I think the rose was for the birthday), but said they did not have anything else. The water pot already had hot water in it when we arrived. I appreciate that. They also had the kind of coffee in which you open the single pack, put it over the cup (good size, not tiny like some places) and pour hot water on it (like a one cup drip coffee- not instant). I often travel with these types of coffee packs as a lot of hotels in Kyushu only have instant coffee or none at all in the rooms. The

小規模經營，店長細心接待，環境優美，設施清潔，提供的用品很貼身和充足。一共六個小溫泉，露天為主，可供couple一起享用，非常好👍🏼。有熱情的貓店長，非常可愛😻，加分。

お正月に家族で貴賓室を利用しました。畳敷きの部屋が2部屋と応接セットの部屋の3部屋で広いです。トイレ、洗面所は2カ所あり露天風呂がついています。部屋の露天風呂は温泉ではありませんでしたが、開放感があって良かったです。 冷蔵庫にはワインやビール、お茶、水などが用意され飲み放題でした。 食事は食事会場に出向き会席料理を頂きました。お肉やご飯は美味しかったですが、お正月らしい華やかさがなかったのでちょっと残念でした。また食事会場では説明がなかったのでドリンクコーナーがある事を知ったのは食事を終えてから…。忙しそうにされていたので仕方がないのかもしれませんが、料理の説明もありませんでした。 ○十万も出すのに食事で残念な気持ちになりました。 大自然はお土産売り場やゲームやカラオケ等アミューズメントがないので館内が静かで良いです。 徒歩(シャトルバスもありました)でひぜんやへ行くとボーリングや大浴場も楽しめます。 受付のスタッフの対応がとても良かったです。

服務人員十分友善，我們駕車到達的時候在正門接待我們，幫忙取行李，帶領我們入餐廳用餐，並逐一向我們介紹各種食材和烹調方法。晚餐的烹調方法非常特別，在沙上搭建爐火，並進行燒烤，口味非常獨特。用餐後，帶領我們到房間並逐一講解，非常專業。位置較為偏遠，但亦可算是特色所在。旅館有公共浴池，但我們沒有去，因為房間裏有私人浴池，水溫非常舒適。對比其他高價的品牌旅館，性價比實在一流，但位置確實較為偏遠。

酒店近巴士總站及商場，3分鐘路程到上下通商店街，購買飲食十分方便，商店街旁邊有市電車站，到熊本JR站只需15分鐘

昭和にタイムスリップしたみたいで懐かしかったです。

離れのお部屋で森に囲まれたところでした。 ヒグラシの鳴き声が心地よくとても癒されます 24時間露天風呂も入り放題で毎回入れ替えの天然温泉は最高です5回も入りましたよ(笑) 今回は2回目の利用でしたので蒸し料理の籠などは貸していただけるので材料は事前にスーパーで購入したり自宅で冷凍して準備して来た物を蒸して食べ お風呂は、勝手が分かっていたので存分に満喫できました。 また予約して利用したいと思います
