Overview
Costa del Sol Hiji is an ocean-view cottage retreat in Hiji, Oita, looking out over Beppu Bay. Every unit has its own natural onsen bath fed 100% directly from the source (a weakly alkaline simple onsen), so you can soak whenever you like with the sea in view. The cottages, each rented to a single group, and the lodges with semi-open-air baths make for a private stay with just your family. Dinner, prepared by the company behind a local yakiniku chain, features course menus built around Oita Wagyu beef and Oita Kanchidori chicken. Harmony Land is also just 20 minutes away by car.
What makes Costa del Sol Hiji special
Costa del Sol Hiji is an ocean-view cottage-style onsen retreat on the shore of Beppu Bay in Hiji, Oita. True to its name, Costa del Sol - the coast of the sun - it sees beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and the morning sun viewed from the pier is something special. The setting is quiet, like a hidden beach away from the bustle of daily life, and families can take their time here.
Onsen (100% from the source in every unit)
Every guest room bath is a natural onsen fed 100% directly from the source. The spring water is a weakly alkaline simple onsen, gentle enough for everyone from young children to older guests to bathe with peace of mind. It is said to help with recovery from fatigue, neuralgia, muscle aches, stiff shoulders and rheumatoid arthritis. The real appeal is being able to bathe as often as you like, whenever you like, while looking out over Beppu Bay.
Guest rooms
Choose between a cottage rented as a whole for up to 6 guests and an ocean-view lodge with a semi-open-air bath (double, twin, or with a loft). Because every room has its own onsen bath, families can enjoy bathing on their own rather than sharing a communal bath with other guests. Each room comes with Wi-Fi, a television, a refrigerator, air conditioning and heating, and a warm-water bidet toilet.
Dining
The property is run by the company behind a well-known local yakiniku chain, and the grilled meat and course menus served in the restaurant have a strong reputation. Alongside courses featuring Oita Wagyu beef and Oita Kanchidori chicken, there is also an evening-only barbecue course. The restaurant is open from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., with last orders at 9 p.m.
