Grand Verde Resort

The staff were so helpful and friendly. They gave us an impressive, detailed introduction to the area and our room. The atmosphere was relaxing, and we enjoyed the sauna and bath. They also provided a camp fire, something we hardly get to see in our home country. We'd love to come back for their new hotel next time. Thanks for having us.

That terrace view over the grasslands and mountains was incredible. We stayed in a dome tent with a clean, big bed and warm heater, and waking up to the open space, fresh air, and morning light was the best. The place was comfy too. Dinner was a highlight: lots of Oita wagyu beef, chicken, and vegetables grilled fresh, all really tasty, with huge portions. Breakfast the next morning was good and relaxed as well. The staff were friendly and helpful the whole time. It's quite remote, so drive there, easily from Yufuin or Beppu. Totally worth it for a chill nature getaway.

We had a great first glamping trip, and it definitely won't be our last. The food, scenery, and service were all great, and my 8 year old daughter was so impressed. Highly recommend it to anyone wanting to try glamping. You won't be disappointed!

This was one of the best stays of our Fukouka trip, though getting there takes a rented car or taxi since it's out in secluded fields. The resort has tent camping, domes, an outdoor onsen and sauna, and a new block of hotel rooms was under construction. Drivers get a car decal for parking within the resort, and you can park beside your dome. Remember to return the decal before driving away. Guests also get tags for onsen and sauna access. Check-in was smooth. There's a relaxed cat called Jack at reception, where they also sell camping gear and simple snacks. Staff showed us how to use the digital lock and PIN, explained the room and resort facilities, and took us to the dome. If you're without a car, they'll ferry you and your luggage. Each dome has a heater and air-conditioning, a fridge with some free drinks, an attached toilet with bathtub, and a dining area. The domes are spread out and a long way from the main admin block, while staff are often out delivering meals, so it helps to have the LINE app installed for communicating with them. The staff delivered dinner and breakfast to our dining area and collected everything after we finished, once we let them know on LINE. Our booking included both meals. We don't eat beef, so they changed dinner to chicken and pork, which was more than enough for two. Breakfast was great too, and I made a perfect sunny-side-up. We could also request the bonfire included in the room package. There's a daily lucky draw if you drop off your reservation slip by 10:40am the next morning; the draw starts after 11am. They have about 100+ prizes on off-peak days and 300+ on peak days. We skipped it because we lazed around until the last minute and left for checkout. For couples, one night is probably enough. Larger groups with activities planned may want two nights or more. Must try!
