Hotele z: bar w Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan

The hotel staff barely spoke any English, so we had to rely on a translator to communicate. Checking in was a nightmare; they couldn't find our room, which took nearly half an hour. Then, when checking out, they gave us the wrong bill, for a different room, almost charging us an extra 4000 yen! I booked a triple room, but as the picture shows, only one bed was a proper bed, while the other two were makeshift cots. I wonder if this is standard for the hotel, or if we were just treated differently? All three of our rooms were also located near the elevators, which made them quite noisy! The rooms themselves were spacious, though. What was truly frustrating was how incredibly crowded the hotel was. The buffet breakfast could take an hour to queue for. On the bright side, there were three breakfast restaurants to choose from. The Pine buffet restaurant was the most popular, and it definitely lived up to the hype with its excellent quality and incredibly rich selection, far surpassing many buffets back home. Plus, you could eat until 1 PM. On our first day, we went at 11 AM and it was relatively empty, but on the second day, we went at 8 AM and queued for so long we questioned our life choices, so we switched to the Hyuga Kai (set meal) instead. Perhaps it was because it was the weekend, but there were queues everywhere, and the hotel was overflowing with people, mostly Japanese families with lots of children. We didn't go to the outdoor pool or hot springs because they were too crowded. There's a children's activity area on the third floor, but it costs extra. The hotel offers a shuttle bus to Miyazaki Station, but ridiculously, there are only three services a day, so most of the time you have to rely on taxis. The location is very remote, suitable for families with young children who want to stay at the hotel, or for those who have their own car! Just to add: No wonder Miyazaki is such an unpopular destination; the transportation is just too inconvenient. I won't be coming back here again.

The room isn't bad, a bit old-fashioned, but for the price and location, you can't ask for more. The owner was very pleasant and helped us a lot. You can park right at the door. If you're just using it to sleep and don't want to spend a lot of money, I recommend it.

It was a little walk from the downtown area, but it was acceptable. I booked a smoking room by mistake, but it was very helpful because I was looking for a non-smoking room on the day.

During my trip to Miyazaki, This was the last accommodation that decorated the trip. I had high expectations because it was a place that could create a home-like atmosphere or a camping feeling, and it was exactly as I expected in the pictures. As written in the review, the owner was very kind. Even though I suddenly asked to light charcoal, he kindly lit it himself. He also lent me a pot and prepared all the chopsticks and bowls for me… Next time, I think we should bring our own chopsticks and bowls in advance. 🤣 And the stars in the evening are no joke. Living in the noisy city, this healing place is even better. The location is good, the accommodation is in good condition, It is a place where you can rest comfortably like at home, and it is the best accommodation for the price. You will regret staying for only one day… An accommodation that makes you want to stay one more day ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Next time I come to rest, I'll make a reservation here right away I want to rest for 2~3 days And if you contact the owner in advance, they'll pick you up and drop you off at the airport It was an accommodation that made it possible to have a barbecue while abroad and happily end my last day Aoshima Beach is also close, so you can walk around the town slowly.
