I Looked Into Kijima Kogen Hotel
2026-09-11
In Komorin's Fantasy Travels, I don't just look into campsites and day-trip hot springs — I also occasionally check out hotels that catch my eye as "hotel-cation" detours. This time, following that same pattern, I decided to look into a resort hotel in Kyushu.
This time, the place that caught my attention was Kijima Kogen Hotel. The combination of being right next to a theme park while also having a natural hot spring felt like just the right fit for an indoor type like me, and it seemed like a place I could enjoy without ever having to ride an attraction, so I decided to look into it.
My impression was of a hotel where you could greedily have both play and relaxation — located about a 2-minute walk from Kijima Kogen Park, while also being able to unwind in a natural hot spring.
As for Rakuten Mobile signal, I wasn't even able to check it, so it seems safer to look into it yourself ahead of time.
I've summarized the details below.
What Kind of Place Is Kijima Kogen Hotel?
It's a resort hotel located in Beppu, Oita Prefecture, and its defining feature seems to be its proximity — about a 2-minute walk from Kijima Kogen Park. Being close enough to check in right after a day of playing at the theme park might be a welcome point for anyone who tends to wear themselves out riding attractions.
Apparently there are perks for guests, such as free 2-day admission to Kijima Kogen Park and a 1,000 yen discount on ride pass tickets. For those staying specifically to visit the park, it seems the stay itself is set up to feel like a good deal.
A "Hotel-Cation" Feel with the Natural Hot Spring "Daichi no Yu"
The hotel has a natural hot spring called Daichi no Yu, and apparently there's also an open-air bath available. Being able to relax in a hot spring after walking around a theme park all day struck me as exactly the kind of thing you'd want from a highland resort. I couldn't tell from the official website whether day-trip bathing (without staying overnight) is available, so if that's something you're curious about, it's probably best to ask when making a reservation.
As for meals, the main offering seems to be buffet-style dinner and breakfast, with two options available: a family-friendly restaurant called Mori no Uta and a Japanese restaurant called Rikyuan. As for kaiseki-style set meals and the chapel, at the time I checked there seemed to be a notice saying they were not currently accepting reservations, though I couldn't tell whether this was temporary or permanent.
Guest Rooms and In-Hotel Facilities That Caught My Indoor-Type Eye
As for the room lineup, there's apparently a newly added room type called the Grande Floor on the 4th floor. There's also a sky terrace inside the hotel called DakeDake, which seems designed for enjoying the view.
In terms of amenities, Wi-Fi is available in the guest rooms, banquet halls, and throughout the hotel (with some exceptions), which quietly caught my attention as someone who'd rather stay in and relax in the room than go out. Parking is apparently free, though since I don't actually drive and hold what's essentially an unused license, I took this piece of information as something that might come in handy if someone ever offers to drive me there.
- Location: About a 2-minute walk to Kijima Kogen Park
- Hot spring: Natural hot spring Daichi no Yu (with an open-air bath)
- Restaurants: Family-friendly Mori no Uta, Japanese restaurant Rikyuan
- Guest rooms: Includes the new Grande Floor room type
- Wi-Fi: Generally available in guest rooms, banquet halls, and throughout the hotel (with some exceptions)
- Parking fee: Free
- Booking method: Official website reservation system, or by phone
I really like that even though it's right next to a theme park, there seems to be a proper hot spring where you can quietly relax on your own. As someone who prefers hot springs over rides, this seems like just the right fit for me.
Rakuten Mobile Signal Conditions
I tried checking the location of this facility (Kijima Kogen area, Beppu, Oita Prefecture) using the official "My Area Network Simulation" tool, but no result was displayed — instead, I got a fallback message saying "Currently undergoing temporary maintenance." This seems to be what happens when the address data for the location in question hasn't been registered, so the plain result this time is that I simply couldn't check the signal conditions.
For that reason, in this article I'm treating the Rakuten Mobile signal status at Kijima Kogen Hotel as unknown. I'm just sharing the situation as it is — there's no information available to say definitively whether the signal is good or not.
When that maintenance message pops up, there's really nothing I can say either. In times like this, I think it's best to just be honest and write that I couldn't find out.
