Suginoi Hotel

715. Suginoi Hotel, Beppu ★★★ The facility is part of the large hotel entertainment complex Suginoi Palace, which includes shops, arcade machines, a gym, a swimming pool, an onsen, and several hotels. The onsens available for day visits can be accessed either from the hotel reception or through the main entrance of Suginoi Palace. We visited for a day trip. The admission fee ranges from 2000 to 3200 yen depending on weekends and holidays. They stamp the Beppu Onsen passport. Photos of the baths are from the internet and are approximate – we visited in the evening. The main feature of the onsen is a magnificent four-level infinity onsen with a stunning view of Beppu and the bay. The evening view is especially impressive on clear days when the moon reflects in the bay. 1. Indoor bath (first). The water is clear, temperature about 41.5°C. Comfortable to breathe inside. 2.
