Hotel di Oguni dengan Kolam Renang

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。

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
