Stayed in this newly opened (5 months old) 5-star onsen hotel in Beppu. Due to its location, it has panoramic views of the city and Beppu Bay below.
Onsen is sourced from nearby Kanawa onsen, though not as smooth as earlier onsens in this trip. Rotenburo also has nice views. Our room is spacious with a balcony (70 sqm).
