Hotel Hot Springs di Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan

I only stayed for one night, but I had an amazing experience. My Japanese is very limited, but the owner and me communicated in a mix of English and Japanese and I felt very welcome. The small bus of the ryokan brought me together with other guests to a Kagura performance in the evening. It was one of the highlights of my trip! The location of the ryokan is very close to the shrine and the best place to stay for a cultural significant experience. I hope I can come back in the future!

The room is big with all the amenities. Our room is facing the sea, we were able to see the sun rise, super gorgeous! The onsen is also great, free for us, and it is open to the public with surcharge. The hostel location is 10/10, close to the Aoshima island, and there is a big park nearby! We enjoyed our stay.

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.

This is the best decision I’ve made during my trip in Miyazaki. I should have stayed longer here than I did in the previous booking. Almost everything is almost perfect, from the artificial hot spring to the traditional Japanese bedrooms, which are great additions to the Japanese experience. I believe it is one of the most affordable hotels in the area. The breakfast is a buffet that is included in my stay, and I had to add the Dinner buffet, which is very worth the price since the place doesn't have many restaurants nearby. The hotel is also within a 5-10 minute walk from the JR train station. The staff are also friendly. I definitely will be back here when I revisit Miyazaki soon. The day I visited was rainy, so I was unable to visit many places.

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Shikimi. The staff was delightful. They were all so nice and helpful. We also loved the food and they went over and beyond to accommodate our dietary needs. The location was perfect for walking to local tourist spots. If I ever return to Takachiho, I would stay there again.

The affiliated parking fee was 1,000 yen per night, and you could enter and exit freely, but you had to take your parking ticket to the front desk each time you entered and exited. The location is very good, so I think 1,000 yen per night is cheap. The free drink bar has a wide selection of shochu, fruit liqueurs, charcoal water, and ice, so you can make a variety of chuhai and cocktails by combining them. The natural hot spring is not large (it can fit 5 or 6 people), but it is clean and the quality of the spring is good. The free breakfast buffet has a decent variety of side dishes and freshly baked bread, all of which are delicious, and the coffee is also delicious. Overall, it feels like a business hotel with a lot of service. It was clean, the front desk was kind and polite, and it was a comfortable stay. However, there is only one elevator that can accommodate about 10 people, and the emergency stairs are not open, so it gets crowded around 8:30 in the morning. Someone I met at the hotel said that if there are many group guests staying, you may have to wait for the elevator for more than 10 minutes.

Our stay at Marushinso Ryokan was truly memorable. Easily accessible by car, this family-run ryokan offers an authentic experience with spacious rooms and well-maintained shared facilities. The onsen is particularly delightful, providing a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. What truly sets Marushinso Ryokan apart is the food. The authentic cuisine is beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, making every meal a highlight of our stay. We highly recommend this ryokan for anyone seeking a genuine and delightful Japanese experience.

The hotel cleanliness is spotless, the facilities are above average in Japan (such as the onsen), the breakfast is healthy and delicious and the staff is extremely helpful. I had a pleasant time in Miyazaki and the hotel made feel like at home.

This is the best resort for healing and summer vacation!! I didn't need go out to find some restaurants or some places to have fun because all those are already in the resort. Especially the view of my room was so great. I would like to visit here again in the future!

Amazing hotel with amenities like free sake after 3pm, miso soup, fountain soda, coffee, tea, snacks. Provided bathing soaps are high quality, facemasks and toiletries are above averagd quality. Friendliness of staff is top tier.
