JR Kyushu Hotel Blossom Oita — Hotel in Oita

What a great hotel. Modern, clean, well- run, nice rooms and an amazing rooftop, open- air hot spring with an infinity view overlooking the city and the inland sea. The check- in at the hotel is on 8F and the rooms are above that level, so there are no bad views. I was given Room 1802, a double bed room facing west, with a nice view over the station plaza and the bay. In fact I could see all the way to the ferry I was taking the next day from Beppu to Shikoku’s Yawatahama.||The room was decorated in warm woodwork while the bathroom was very sleek and modern. The bathroom had the latest fixtures, very nice, and a good selection of amenities.||Everything was spotless and everything also function perfectly. The room was very quiet and the bed was very comfortable, so I slept well. The internet was very fast here.||The best feature was the amazing onsen. There were men’s and women’s spas, and the men’s included onsen inside (20th floor) and outside, on the top floor – with an “infinity view,” looking west across the station plaza, to distant Mount Tsurumi, Beppu, and the adjacent bay. It was the most impressive hotel onsen I have yet to see. The view is amazing. That view, plus the hot, soothing waters, will put any stress to bed. Unlike many hotel O Furo, this one gives you towels so you don’t have to bring your own. There is a bar / snack restaurant along with spa services / reception on the 19th floor.||Breakfast was excellent. Guests were given a double- stack bento box with a kai-seki-like assortment of treats, and then there was the traditional buffet in addition. The chicken tempura (toriten) was especially delicate and tasty. I was not sure what was in the box, but it was all delicious – kind of Kai Seki meets Asa Gohan. Although it’s on 8F, the breakfast room looks out onto a nice garden and there’s a terrace where you can eat outside. The whole top of the station is a terrace with garden spots, a really top- class children’s railway, some shops which were not open when I went out and what looked like function rooms.||The location is great, right in the center and you can get from the station to the hotel totally indoors. The AMU plaza shopping complex has a a lot of great stores, an extensive food court with many good choices, and of course several Knobinis.||There are a number of good choices in Oita, but this hotel is way above the others in my opinion.||Highly...
