Hotel Sansuikan

The experience was so-so; there were Chinese staff members, so communication was quite convenient.

Go to Beppu Station's west exit, on the left, at Station 3. Take Line 1 bus 🚌 to the last stop, Kannawa. It's a two-minute walk to Sansuikan. It's so convenient. From Sansuikan, walk left for about eight minutes to Umijigoku 😊. Umijigoku isn't big, but it has a foot bath where you can soak your feet. An hour's worth of exploration is enough. Beppu is a rural area, so don't expect great restaurants. That night, I ate at Hama Sushi 🍣 across from Sansuikan. Then, I went back to the hotel to soak in the hot springs. The sixth floor is the best, with its open-air bath. Sansuikan is an older hotel, but it's well-maintained. After a night's rest, I took the direct bus from Beppu to Fukuoka Station the next day 🚌 (remember to buy your ticket the day before, as it's very crowded). The bus stops at the same platform where I got off the previous day.

The room was enormous, and you could enjoy the ocean view from your room. The public bath on the 6th floor had a great view, and the 1st floor was also nice. The outdoor bath on the 1st floor had a landscaped area, was even larger, and there was also a dry steam room. The breakfast and dinner were incredibly filling, and I couldn't finish them all. The hotel is very close to the White Pond Hell, just across the street, and the Kyushu Odan bus station is right outside. There are Chinese staff, and when we visited, there were also several Chinese female university interns. However, most of the staff didn't speak English, so I needed mobile phone translation and gestures.

The rooms are very clean and a must-see for a stay with two meals. Right next to the hotel are White Pond Hell and Sea Hell, a 15-minute walk away. Blood Pond Hell and Tornado Hell are also easily accessible via bus number 16, which takes 15 minutes.

The hotel is a fairly traditional Japanese hot spring inn, located near Beppu Hell (a Japanese hell area), accessible by public bus from Beppu Station. Overall, the experience was good, but the facilities were rather old, depending on what kind of experience you're looking for.

Since I had to stay one night in Beppu, I had no choice but to choose a place close to Kannawa Bus Terminal. First of all, the cons that I remember are: ✅️A room that was tricked into saying it had an ocean view ✅️A unique smell ✅️Noise between floors and hallways ✅️No place to enjoy (at night) around The good points are: ✅The large bath on the first floor (better than the 6th floor) ️✅️A clean open-air bath ✅️5 minutes from the bus terminal

The room is a sea view room! There is no crowd at all for the 4 of us! The open-air hot spring is amazing! Enjoy the sea view and the breeze! The hotel is just on the roadside, very close to Beppu Onsen! The fried chicken nearby is super delicious! I want to eat more!
