On this trip to Kyushu, we stayed in resorts, hotels, and the most anticipated Guanbuting Hot Spring Resort during the trip. This Guanbuting has three shortcomings + one feature.The first drawback is that at the check-in on the evening of July 10th, the girl from the middle school didn't know whether she was tired or something, but her face was super smelly~ Later I found out that her face looked like this...The second disadvantage is that the hotel staff are not proficient in English. What I mean by lack of proficiency is that we can only use Google Translate to communicate. Everyone knows that Google Translate has its limits. As long as the content is more complicated, it is easy to fail to understand the meaning. I look at my phone with big eyes and small eyes.Shortcoming three I think is fatal. This hotel chain brand may not have a dedicated customer service department. I can't find an email to contact the hotel. Even if I book a room on a hotel agency website like Agoda, I can't confirm it by letter or ask for details. In the end, I had to bite the bullet and find a way to directly make an international call to contact Ms. Hosokawa, who could speak English. It was difficult to get to the hotel's email address.The characteristic is that there is farmland next to it, and many small green frogs the size of fingernails will visit the door at night.After talking about it for so long, I will still give it at least 95 points out of 100... First of all, the hotel environment is so cute and warm. It is located about a three-minute drive from the lively Yunotsubo, not far away but quiet enough. There are only six guest rooms, each with the same size, layout and view, and each room is assigned a parking space.There is a small footbath in the parking lot, and there is an all-you-can-drink beer machine next to it. There is also a free hot and cold coffee machine and ice cream at the reception desk.The Japanese and Western-style rooms are clean and spacious, and are fully equipped with refrigerators, toilets, capsule coffee machines and Dyson hair dryers and curlers.What I love most is its indoor semi-open-air hot spring. Open-air and semi-open-air hot springs in Taiwan are unreasonably expensive, so when you go to a Japanese hot spring town, you must choose a hotel with open-air hot springs to enjoy it. It was the rainy season when we arrived. This semi-open-air hot spring house allows you to enjoy the hot springs and breathe fresh air at the same time. It has tiles to cover your head, and the scenery is very cute~(Outside the soup house is farmland, and in the distance are mountains surrounded by mist and mist). The meal is Kaiseki cuisine, exquisite and delicious...just looking at it is a pleasure.

1. I am very satisfied with the spacious room, large private bath, Dyson Air Wrap, free drinks (all refrigerator drinks), free coffee, outdoor foot bath + Kirin draft beer (free).2. There is no separate shower room in the room, and you must shower in the private bath in the room. There wasn't much inconvenience in the summer, but it might be a little cold in the winter...?3. There is only one family bath, so you may have to wait if guests overlap. You can use it when it is empty without a separate reservation. It's nice that it's open 24 hours.4. Dinner was also delicious. I was satisfied with the course overall, but the eel in the middle wasn't very good (it was my first time eating cold, unseasoned eel...), but the beef that came after was really delicious. Maybe it's because of aging, but it's still soft even when grilled. The sashimi that came out for the first time was chewy and delicious because it was aged sashimi.5. Is the location about a 10-minute walk from Yufuin tourist street? I felt like I was at home in the countryside because I could sleep while listening to the sound of frogs as water flowed around me.Very high intention to revisit.
