A 185-year-old inn reborn

• 🏯Founded in 1839, Tenryuso overcame flood damage and fully renovated in spring 2024, reopening as Ryokan Tenryu.
• 🌿Built around the idea of an inn that is gentle on the body, this 11-room spa retreat focuses on comfort, bathing and sleep.
• 👪Designed as a place to bring your parents, some rooms have electric reclining beds and soft, easy-on-the-feet flooring.

Skin-smoothing main baths

• ♨️Amagase Onsen ranks with Yufuin and Beppu as one of the three great hot springs of Bungo, said to have welled up from the riverbed some 1,300 years ago.
• 💧The silky, lotion-like water carries a faint sulfur scent and flows straight from the source: a sulfur spring and sodium chloride-bicarbonate spring.
• 🕘Separate men's and women's baths are open 15:00-23:00 and 6:00-9:00, with a baby bed in the women's changing room.

• ♿Choju-no-yu has a large tub for 4-5 people, a shower carrier and shower chair, plus a deck and garden.

River-view rooms

• 🛁Rooms 501, 502 and 503 have their own hinoki, ceramic or stone tubs fed by natural hot spring water, with chairs on a riverside terrace.
• 🛏️Japanese-Western twins are 33㎡ with two semi-double beds and a raised tatami area; the triple is 36㎡ with three semi-double beds.
• 🏞️Windows look over the Kusu River flowing right outside; rooms have a bidet toilet, fridge, safe and Wi-Fi.

Seasonal Oita kaiseki

• 🧺Dinner is a Japanese kaiseki of basket-served starters, seasonal sashimi, salt-grilled river fish and mountain-vegetable tempura.
• 🥩It also includes a select beef steak and handmade soba by a chef trained in the craft, using plenty of local Oita produce.
• 🍱Breakfast is a Japanese meal served in wooden boxes with dishes made to go with fresh rice; both meals are served in the dining room.

Lobby, library and soba restaurant

• 📚Beside the riverside counter in the warm wooden lobby is a mini library where you can read to the sound of the river.
