Itinerary

Beppu Onsen is famous for having one of the highest numbers and amount of hot springs in Japan. Being located by the sea, the salty spring water keeps your skin smooth and moisturized.

At KAI, we offer “KAI Hot Spring Healing,” an authentic hot spring cure experience based on the efficacy and quality of the water at the hot springs.

Take a time to relax with our complimentary refreshments prepared in your room. Now, change your clothes into our original Samue.

On several occasions, our “Yumori of KAI” -Hot Spring Concierge- at KAI will explain the history of the hot spring as well as its spring qualities and effective ways to bathe.

Wrap your bathing kit in a Furoshiki, a traditional wrapping cloth, and off to the hot springs. The walls of the indoor bathhouse are inlaid with “Usukiyaki,” representing the flowers of Beppu.

Take a moment to relax through a pleasant breeze while gazing at the garden. Wait until your body, warmed by the hot spring, begins to cool off.

Oita Prefecture is blessed with abundant gifts from the sea and mountains. For dinner, enjoy Kaiseki cuisine with plenty of seasonal ingredients served in unique tableware.

Enjoy the evening with a session of abundant hot springs and wooden pails, played by the “Toji Jug Band.” Players in a Happi coat create a lively atmosphere.

The breathing exercises in the “KAI Hot Spring Healing” Guidebook lets you calm down.

Ginger tea with black vinegar and brown sugar relieves your fatigue and regulates your body temperature. It gradually prepares your body and mind for a relaxing and peaceful sleep.

A soft, cloud-like mattress provides you the most comfortable sleep while supporting your body at its core. Smooth sheets and pillowcases invite you to heavenly sleep.

This is an exercise to slowly wake up your body while feeling a fresh breeze and the morning sun in the hot spring square.

At KAI, we offer a “Local Breakfast” using ingredients and cooking methods that reflect the local culture. At KAI Beppu serves a local specialty dish of ”Jigokumushi”

Try walking with large strides while consciously “inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth.” A course map is available with routes that you can walk lightly for about an hour.

Try our breathing techniques to enhance the effects of the hot spring or enjoy the local beverages after bathing.

Off to the dining area to satisfy your stomach.
