3-Star hotele w: Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan

This traditional Japanese ryokan, celebrating 50 years, was very clean overall. The unique wooden windows in the bedroom added a lovely, authentic touch. Both breakfast and dinner offered delightful surprises in their dishes – I absolutely loved its charm! A bonus was the Ten-an Lake Shrine, just 100 meters away, perfect for a refreshing morning walk.

From the bottom of my heart, I’d like to thank all staff of the hotel. My 11-old son and I stayed there for just one night, because we were on our way to visit gorgeous Toungenkyu hydrangeas park in the other town, so we chose to stay in Hyugashi, and that was definitely the right decision! I didn’t know that there was no public transportation assess to the park, because it’s located far upon to the mountains. But I never give up  So, I decided to get to the park by hitchhiking! And one of kind managers of the hotel wrote the name of the park in Japanese characters on a big sheet of paper to be seen from far apart for drivers. Besides, he told us where it could be possible to stop a car. So we did it! First, we went to the nearest town by train, and tried the hitching there. There was a nice lady who took us to the park and back to Hyugashi, we were so grateful to her!!! The local people were kind to us everywhere whenever it was a restaurant or a station. We will never forget the kindness of the local people!!! We liked that izakaya on the first floor in the building. Moreover, we liked that nice quiet town Hyugashi because of its people! We wish you all the best!!!

Excellent stay! The hotel was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located near the station. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the room was well-maintained. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to other travelers.

The hotel is beautiful and it has great amenities (top restaurants including a high ranked steakhouse,, an amazing bakery, a gym, hot spring, laundry room and several stores including a kimono rental store. The hotel is located close to malls and the subway station. The staff are very kind and are always willing to assist even if they are not proficient in English . The breakfast buffet is also great and was included in my reservation. Visiting the steakhouse is a must , it is a tad pricey but worth the expenditure. Miyazaki is known for its beef and chicken. My only negative comment pertains to showers in the standard rooms (there are three kinds of rooms). The showers are very dated, have a weird smell and the shower heads are what you would normally find  in a bathroom from the 70s. The rooms are spacious and clean. However, if I had known the showers and tub were so old I would have upgraded to a deluxe room. Overall the hotel is great and it is well priced for its amenities.

Hotel is centrally location, a few stop is bus stop to airport and vice versa, walkable distance to Miyazaki Station and Minami Miyazaki Station, if don’t wanna to walk, there is option to take bus to both stations. Tachibana shopping street and its neighborhood is nearby. Room design is cute and lovely, breakfast is available until 11.00 for dine in and take out.

Lovely hotel with friendly receptionists and great service. We had a small hiccup at first as we originally booked the Japanese-style room but unfortunately the air conditioner had a very loud crackling noise. After informing the staff, they immediately changed us to a Western-style room without any hassle. The room was perfectly fine and we didn’t mind the change at all. The stay also came with a buffet breakfast that had a good selection — definitely enough to fill you up before starting the day. The air conditioning worked well and kept the room nice and cold, the bathroom was spacious and overall it felt like one of those hotels you would happily stay longer in. Free parking on-site is available too. Laundry room equipped with good amount of washing machines and dryers with free detergents too. Thumbs up for this 👍🏻

Good location, walking distance to JR station and Amu Plaza, where many shopping and dining options available. On site car park limited lots in B1/B2, especially when they have functions in hotel in the evening. So need to park at nearby carparks, suggested open air car park was 100m away. Hotel parking charges 1000¥ per overnight. Public parking is 500$¥ from 6pm to 8am, after that is by hourly charge.

The morning breakfast is as expected of a typical Jap hotel & ends at 830am, kind of early. The location is 5 bus stops, roughly 1.2km, away from Miyazaki JR station. Although there’s a mini separate gender hot pool onsen to enjoy but it operates till 930pm, kind of early too. But I do see some using beyond 930pm so not sure if that’s the norm. Plus point are (1) soft pillow choices at lift lobby to bring up for extra usage, (2) hot & cold drinks 24 hrs & (3) hotel is located within shopping belt. There’s no key card but given a paper that contains PIN number to open your hotel room door. Room is very clean but small for 2 luggages. 

This was my first stay here, as I was visiting Takachiho Gorge. While I found it a bit pricey for just a place to sleep, especially with no large public bath, the location was superb and the room was spacious, so overall I was pleased. The breakfast had limited variety and was just average, so I'd probably opt for no breakfast next time. The hotel staff were all very kind. I was happy to find plush, disposable slippers. For dinner, I had Takachiho beef at 'Wa,' a restaurant directly managed by JA Miyazaki, which is right in front of the hotel. The location was perfect, as it was also just a short walk to Takachiho Shrine. In the morning, I walked to the boat rental area. The uphill walk was tough, but it was worth it as the parking lots were full. Takachiho Gorge gave me such good energy, I'd love to visit again someday.

The boss is very good, I missed a bus, called to inform, others are very good to wait for me more than the check-in time, but also to pick me up at the station, I also like to come to Taiwan Taitung Hualien area (should be surfing), there are many Aboriginal friends, Also told me what to go around and the location of the convenience store, a very enthusiastic boss
