Umino Hotel Hajime

8,1/10 Excellent - Based on 969 reviews

Close to the peaceful Beppu Bay, this ryokan enchants with its design where light wood and clean lines dialogue with the harmony of Japanese tradition. The architecture, bathed in light, invites you to slow down and reconnect with the essentials. The thermal baths, indoor or outdoor, offer a bath of serenity at every moment, while the fitness center and sauna, with their panoramic view of the ocean, extend this moment of well-being. Here, every detail is designed for the appeasement of body and mind, in a setting conducive to contemplation.

Whether it’s a room with a view of the splendor of Beppu Bay or a more intimate space in traditional Japanese style, the accommodations are meant to be sanctuaries of comfort. Carefully arranged tatami mats, cozy futons, and spaces bathed in natural light transform each room into a cocoon of refinement. The most luxurious accommodations reveal private semi-outdoor baths, where water blends with the horizon, offering a privileged moment of intimacy at the heart of this ryokan in Beppu.

Culinary pleasures extend the experience, with two restaurants offering exquisite Japanese cuisine. Their seasonal menus celebrate the treasures of the sea and land in a modern and warm atmosphere. For exploration enthusiasts, the neighborhood is full of fascinating addresses and local flavors to discover, adding a gourmet touch to your unforgettable stay.


Japanese Authenticity Evaluation

7/10 Tradition and modernity harmoniously marry in this ryokan. The rooms with tatami mats and the soothing view outside offer a pleasant ambiance. The baths, although not always seeming traditional, are attractive. The culinary experience, however, deserves a bit more authenticity to complete the overall atmosphere.
