"Staff were very helpful. We had the mountain view. But ocean view might have been appreciated. Otherwise the stay was pleasant. The room was large."

"Spacious room, comfortable room and available amenities. Breakfast had a wide variety of both western, Japanese and Beppu specific style food. All equally delicious.
