Hotel Romantik di Hita

小さな古い旅館を改装したホテルです。 名前も今は「cafelひなのさと」に変わっています。 全体的に清潔感はありますが、やはりお部屋のトイレが古くちょっとテンション下がりました。 手書きや手作りの飾りが随所にあり、遊び心もりあってほっこりします。 ハンドメイドが好きな方は嬉しいと思います。 コーヒー飲み放題、クッキー食べ放題もなかなか良かったです。 サンセットクルーズは寒いかな？と思いましたが、しっかり暖房が効いていて、子ども連れでも大丈夫でした。 川に街灯が反射して綺麗でした。 また、朝夕ともに優しい味付けの美味しいご飯でした。 施設は古いですが、頑張って魅力的な宿にしようという気持ちが伝わってきました。

The minute you walk in, you relinquish your shoes. Everywhere is tatami and so we walk in our socks or indoor shoes, an immediate plus and relaxing moment. Our room was called The Annex. It is apart from the hotel. The Annex is Japanese with tatami and western beds, very comfortable. When we approached the front door, the views off the private garden were gorgeously dramatic mountain cliffs and there are views of other mountains and the stream from the other side of The Annex as well. Spacious and open and extremely comfortable. While many rooms come with a private dining room in the restaurant, the private eating room associated with the Annex also has another private garden with views of the mountains. A small note: All liquids in the frig are complimentary, nice touch! The service was excellent, well trained. The food was delicious even though we have many dietary limits - like no meat, pork, heavy oils. They accommodated our restrictions with delicious, fresh fish and vegetables and fruit. The onsens, even though public access as well, were clean and designed beautifully. We've been to many ryokans this year, mainly in Kyushu since we live here. This onsen had the most beautiful facilities - and the views were drop dead gorgeous. My jaw literally dropped when I saw the view from the onsen with the lounge chairs in the steaming water - and what an amazing onsen that was!!! After much thought, the only downside is the outdoor tub in the Annex, which is really not an onsen since it used chlorinated water and the two of us had to squeeze in. Having said that, we already booked our next stay in the spring and cannot wait to return.

日帰りバスツアーで、ランチとお風呂に寄りました。以前かんぽの宿でしたが、リニューアルされました。ランチは畳にイスとテーブル。一人参加は一人1テーブルと、空間も十分。牛肉と鶏肉の溶岩焼きが美味しかったです。お風呂は「湯の滝」の約70度の自噴。露天、寝湯、ジェットバス、内風呂、ミストサウナ、飲泉があり、手足を伸ばして、ゆっくり過ごせました。売店には、日田の下駄を始め、大分の焼酎、名産品などが並べられていました。
