We stayed for a night at JR Kyushu Hotel Blossom Oita. As we were out throughout the day, we did not have enough time to enjoy the roof top onsen. Given that it was raining the whole day, we did not get to enjoy the outdoor garden on the 8th floor. We stayed in a double room, and the size was more than adequate. The decor was a little heavy on the ornate side and it looked and felt relatively new. Our short stay was comfortable, definitely recommend to stay here if in Oita.

“GREAT. A must- stay- at hotel.”

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… lisää

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 recommended.

The hotel feels quite new and well maintained. The decor is quite special with the traditional Japanese touch. Shower in the room is strong and hair dryer was efficient. There were 2 pain points which we experienced for our one night stay: 1/ the car park was really difficult to finds. After going round the JR Oita station several times , we eventually discovered from the hotel web site that we have to use the shopping malls car park and go to the east side to park. There just isn’t any signs or notification. 2/ upon check in, we learned that the onsen was closed for maintenance for the day and this was a huge disappointment. One of the main reasons we booked this hotel is for the advertised roof top onsen and there is only a notice placed on the check in counter top to notify that it’s closed and unable to be used until 6am the next morning. The response from the hotel staff upon our disappointment was cold and unwelcoming.
