โรงแรมใกล้กับ Jinguji, คุนิซะกิ

오이타공항에서 약7km 북쪽 도로변에 위치하여 렌터카 이용시 접근성이 좋으며, 호텔은 조금 오래되었으나 수영장도 있어서 가성비는 좋은 편임. 3연박 조식포함으로 있었는데 간단한 부페식 조식이며, 3일 동안 메뉴가 똑같아서 조금 아쉬웠슴.

We were a bit hesitant ourselves about this ryokan - we've been spoiled in staying at some of the very top ryokans throughout the country, and while Amane Resort Gahama is highly rated and understood this property to be kid-friendly, we weren't sure if it would meet our own high bar. Thankfully, our concerns were completely unfounded. It deftly balances the needs for discerning adults while at the same time doing a wonderful job catering to the needs of young families. This was part of a multi-generation trip, with four families (two of them with two young children each) and four total rooms as part of our booking. While Amane Resort Gahama (and its sister property, Amane Resort Seikai) is located along a bustling street in a nondescript area of Beppu (and next to KFC as well as Nitori, a large home furniture store), once we stepped inside we were ushered into a different world. Namely, the panoramic view of the ocean gave the ryokan an air of tranquility. We booked four rooms - all in the tower (there are separate Villas on site, but we wanted the view.) All of the rooms were Japanese-Western style with a generous 90 square meters of space. Two of the rooms were on the third floor, one was on the fifth floor, and one was a ”special room” on the top floor (10F.) Of the four, I'd say that the fifth floor room was my preference, in that it allowed unobstructed views (the Villa rooftops were visible when peering out of the balcony of the 3F rooms) that were not too far off from the 10F room, and it had a bedroom that was separate from the living room, whereas the 10F special room was an open, junior suite style. Somehow, it also seemed that the top floor room was a bit tighter in space, despite the specifications. All rooms offered both indoor and outdoor Onsen (hot springs) baths, and that's what we were after. Of course, the children wanted to enjoy the larger communal baths. Unfortunately, it's located in Seikai, meaning you'd either have to walk outdoors for 5 minutes (through the Nitori parking lot) or take a complimentary shuttle - a bit of a hassle, yes, although we wound up bouncing between both properties for some of our meals (more on that later.) Gahama catered nicely to families with young children. They offered child-sized slippers as well as Yukata and Samue robes that were small enough to even fit a 2-year old. Our meals (for 11 total people) on both nights were served in a private room. And they offered very nice children's meals for both breakfast and dinner - they loved all of the food offerings at this property. At the same time, this ryokan would be equally suitable for adult couples... service is polished and attentive, while both the kaiseki dinner meal and French dinner course (the latter is at Amane Resort Seikai) were sophisticated and beautifully presented. And that's one of the benefits of either of the Amane ryokans - the multiple dining options allowed us to enjoy a diversity of top-notch servings. In the morning, w

หกครอบครัวที่เดินทางมาถึงโรงแรมประมาณ 7 โมงเย็น พนักงานต้อนรับส่วนหน้าทําให้ความประทับใจของเราเกี่ยวกับบริการสไตล์ญี่ปุ่นในอดีต... เนื่องจากไม่มีตัวเลือกอาหารเช้าเมื่อจอง เราจึงวางแผนที่จะซื้อที่โรงแรมอื่น แต่แจ้งว่าไม่มีให้ พนักงานรับประทานอาหารเต็ม! ทุกคนมีความรู้พื้นฐานว่าอาหารเช้าสามารถรับประทานแบบไดนามิกไม่ได้กินพร้อมกันเห็นได้ชัดว่าจงใจปฏิเสธอาหารของชาวจีน นอกจากนี้บริการน้ําชายามบ่ายฟรีที่โรงแรมควรมี บริการแช่เท้าน้ําพุร้อน บริการกลิ่นหอมของผู้หญิง ฯลฯ... อยู่ยงคงกระพัน กลุ่มของเราพาลูกๆ ไปหาผู้จัดการโรงแรมเพื่อสื่อสาร เพื่อที่จะได้รับประทานอาหารและเรียนรู้เกี่ยวกับเนื้อหาการบริการที่แขกของโรงแรมควรเพลิดเพลิน... ผิดหวังมาก!

I spent my first two hours doing what I haven’t done for almost three years, driving along the snaking roads in Japan. Arriving at Amane Seikai you feel euphoric, the seafood kaiseiki wasn’t the best, but the sake was good, and I was still giddy from seeing the spacious (1776 sq feet) junior suite with its own ocean view pool, jacuzzi, open-air onsen bath. “Room” 230 is in the new wing (according to my booking.com description), the apartment/room is not especially stylish, except for one little bottle of water and some coffee/tea, the mini bar and fridge were empty, but it has a spectacular view and you’ll still get your ocean view from bed and feel the constant gravitational pull of your private open-air onsen. I got up at 6ish just to catch the first rays of sunlight and to listen to the sound of the waves. Last but not least, the staff that checked me in was really nice and spoke perfect English ( coz he is from Nebraska ☺️)
