Kyushu Trip Day 2-2 | Beppu Suginoi Hotel, Aqua Beat Water Park, Dinner Buffet, Aqua Garden Pool

If you’re planning a trip to Beppu in Kyushu with kids, staying somewhere that combines water activities and meals can make things more convenient. This video from Al콩달콩 Ttungttanji Family is the second story from day two of their trip, following their check-in at Suginoi Hotel’s SORA Building with a visit to the Aqua Beat water park, dinner at the buffet, and a night at Aqua Garden followed by a soak at Tanayu. Here’s a guide to what families may want to consider, based on the video’s roughly 6-minute-19-second itinerary.

Staying at the SORA Building: Check the Layout, Not Just the Room

When choosing a hotel with children, it’s important to consider how far the dining areas and water facilities are from your room. You may need to carry wet swimsuits and a change of clothes, so it’s a good idea to check the layout of the facilities in advance.

• Check the room’s occupancy limit and bedding arrangement
• Check stroller-accessible routes and changing areas
• Check which facilities are included with your accommodation package

What to Bring to Aqua Beat Water Park

The video description says the family enjoyed the water activities at Aqua Beat. The facilities children can use may depend on their height and swimming ability, so check the rules on site. Pack swimsuits, a change of clothes, and a waterproof bag. It’s also helpful to check in advance whether swim caps or life jackets are required and whether they can be rented.

Check the official information before your visit for operating dates, admission requirements, and fees for the water facilities.

Let Kids Set the Pace at the Dinner Buffet

Dinner is at Terrace & Dining SORA. At a buffet, it’s better to start with small portions of foods your child can eat rather than filling their plate with too much at once. After time in the water, kids may be both hungry and tired, so allow plenty of time for a break and dinner. If your child has a food allergy, don’t rely on the dish name alone—ask staff about the ingredients and the possibility of cross-contact.

Aqua Garden: Things to Keep in Mind for a Night Swim

The video description says the family enjoyed the night views, warm water, and a show at Aqua Garden. However, shows and operating details may vary depending on when you visit. Even in warm water, staying in for too long can be tiring, so take breaks and drink fluids. A dry towel and an extra layer of clothing are also useful for when you get out of the water.

What to Know Before Using Tanayu Hot Spring

The family says they played at Aqua Garden and then bathed at the connected Tanayu. Pools and hot springs may have different dress codes and rules, so follow the guidance for each area. In general, Japanese hot-spring etiquette includes washing your body before getting into the bath and keeping your towel out of the bathwater. Check the rules for children based on their age and toilet-training status, and consult a medical professional before bathing if you have any health concerns.

Check the official information on facilities, fees, and show schedules before your visit.
