Japanese Insight

As the name suggests ("Umi" means sea), Umino Hotel Hajime is a boutique sanctuary located directly on the edge of Beppu Bay. This hotel is designed for those who want to "live with the ocean" during their stay. From the minimalist, modern lobby to the expansive windows in the guest rooms, the blue horizon of the Pacific is the main attraction.

The Private Onsen Experience

The highlight of this hotel is the availability of guest rooms with private open-air baths.

• Seamless Views: These private baths are positioned so that you can soak in the therapeutic mineral waters while looking directly out over the sea.

• Ultimate Relaxation: Whether it’s watching the sun rise over the water in the early morning or seeing the moon reflect off the waves at night, having your own private "ocean-view onsen" allows for a deeply personal and unhurried experience.

The Rooftop Infinity Vibe

In addition to the private room baths, the hotel features a stunning large public bath on the upper floor. The design creates an "infinity" effect where the hot spring water seems to merge with the bay, providing a sense of total liberation and oneness with nature.f a classic Japanese hot spring.
