JR Kyushu Hotel Blossom Oita

The hotel's hot springs were great, but the parking was hard to find and involved a long detour. The rooftop hot spring offered fantastic views. The room's decor was a bit gaudy, and there was a strong musty smell. On the plus side, having a mall downstairs for shopping and dining was very convenient, and the service was good. The three-story hot springs were a major draw. Overall, it was decent, but the strong odor in the room really impacted my sleep quality.

Super close to Oita Station! There's a hot spring on the top floor, but it gets very crowded because even non-guests can buy tickets to use it. There's also a garden and a shrine on the rooftop.

Extremely convenient for getting around and shopping, with a shopping street, many izakayas, and karaoke right across the road. The rooftop onsen is absolutely fantastic, offering distant views of Beppu Bay. There's also a cafe run by an old gentleman in the shopping street, and their breakfast is delicious 😋

The location is absolutely fantastic, right at Oita Station. The onsen (hot spring bath) is stunning, offering panoramic city views. We visited for the fireworks festival, and the venue was just a short walk away. The shopping street in front of the station is extensive, bustling with numerous eateries and shops. The value for money is outstanding. We'll definitely choose this place in Oita again as our base if we visit Beppu in the future!

The hotel's location is fantastic, making it very convenient for both transportation and shopping. The express bus terminal is also nearby. To reach the front desk, simply exit Oita ZR Station North Exit, turn right, go through a small door, and take the elevator up to the 8th floor. Check-in is available from 2 PM. Our room was quite spacious, located at the end of the hallway and featuring large windows on two walls. Unfortunately, they were sealed shut, preventing ventilation, but the air conditioning worked perfectly. The entire hotel was very clean. Despite our three-day stay, the staff promptly replaced our yukata and towels, provided bottled water, and offered warm, attentive service throughout. Breakfast was both plentiful and exquisitely presented, featuring beautiful seasonal Japanese bento boxes. Vending machines and ice makers are conveniently located on floors such as 11 and 14. Across from the front desk, complimentary toiletries and skincare products are available for guests to take as needed. The onsen was spotless and well-maintained, with excellent service. We absolutely loved the convenience of being able to dine directly after our bath. Soaking in the top-floor bath while enjoying the panoramic city views was incredibly relaxing.
