Zekkei no Yado Sakuratei

Sakura-tei makes its elevated view over Beppu the focus of an eleven-room stay. The outlook extends toward the sea, with sunrise and the city’s evening lights changing the character of the rooms and terraces.

A private rooftop open-air bath is the clearest way to enjoy the panorama. Selected guest rooms also have their own outdoor tubs, while a scenic lounge provides another place to linger after soaking. The spring is used on a freely flowing basis.

Dinner brings together seafood and mountain ingredients from Oita. Sakura-tei is a good fit for couples or small parties who want a view-led stay with a degree of privacy, rather than the anonymity of a large resort. Choosing the room and bath arrangement carefully will determine how much of that outlook becomes part of the private experience.
