Hotel Ranpū

Choose a colourful yukata (cotton kimono) at check-in to wander this giant, recently renovated resort hotel with expansive indoor and outdoor onsen. A few kilometres south of Hirado's main village, and uphill from Senri-ga-hama beach, Ranpū offers restaurants, play areas for pre-schoolers to teens, and karaoke booths. Rooms are Japanese and Western style, many with private rotemburo (outdoor bath) and sea views.
