Hotel berhampiran Aratate Shrine, Takachiho

今次主要體會一泊兩食，酒店嘅溫泉水非常舒服，但晚餐及早餐嘅質素唔及傳統溫泉旅館，另外酒店安排嘅神樂劇非常好睇。

溫馨的傳統旅館，老闆很親切，枕頭好像是茶葉枕，一樓還有湯泉可泡，整體環境感覺，睡起來也很舒服(⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)

We have never been so well catered to and I have stayed at other ryokans before. The facilities and food were fantastic and the staff was very attentive. They would talk to us about our plans and provide tips on getting there. There were a couple of very above and beyond moments we had during our four night stay here. The first being when we went to see the Takachiho Kagura show at the temple a few minutes away. They helped us to dress in yukata and drove us there. When we arrived, the driver ran up the hill to the temple ahead of us to get us tickets before they could be sold out. The other moment was when we asked about the hyuganatsu fruit we had for dessert the night before. They actually called around the local markets to see if there was any left for us to purchase and unfortunately, the fruit was not in season but they surprised us later that night with hyuganatsu in our salad and the hyuganatsu jelly we loved so much the night before. We grew to adore our attendant Chung Shu Fan who took us to our dining rooms and was very kind and spoke to us in English as we struggled with the Japanese language. We always looked forward to breakfast and dinner here where we were served the best of the local delicacies.

良かったところ ・お部屋にこたつがありゆっくりくつろげました。 ・ベッドも枕も丁度良く熟睡できました。 ・24時間風呂があります。少し熱かったのですがありがたいサービスでした。 ・スタッフの皆さんが本当に温かくホスピタリティ溢れるお宿です ・お食事がとても美味しかった！ ・高千穂神社の夜神楽の送迎をして頂けます 改善して頂きたいところ ・食事中にも関わらず早々とお皿をさげられると、急かされている気がするので…もう少しゆっくりお食事させて欲しかったです。 ・朝に洋食も選べたら嬉しいです また、気になるコロナ対策ですが、大変しっかりされていると思います。従業員さんの体温表をプリントアウトしてくれて、対策の見える化をしていらっしゃいます。体温表は1日分だけではなく3日分くらい掲載頂いたらよいのではないでしょうか？ 一泊ではなく、2泊くらいゆっくりするのがオススメです！

2016年の春に彼との初めての旅行で昔から行きたかった高千穂峡を訪れるためにこちらに宿泊しました。リーズナブルで立地が良かった、それだけで予約したつもりでしたが、予約時からチェックアウトまで終始スタッフ皆様の気持ちの良い対応で、とても思い出に残る旅行となりました。夜神楽も、夜神楽へ向かう道中も思い出深く、余った時間にタクシーを利用して観光しましたが、アクセスしやすい立地で全てがスムーズに行けて満足です。朝食も終了間際でしたがスタッフの方が嫌な顔一つせずにごゆっくりされて下さいと笑顔で言われた事が2人とも思い出に残っています。 レビューを宿泊直後に残したつもりでしたが、少し前の体験でしたがご参考になればと思い、投稿致しました。 その後その頃の彼と結婚し、こちらを含め、宮崎は今でも2人の思い出の場所です。

As Takachiho Gorge is comparatively hard to get to we felt much better staying in Takachiho for a night. And it's great to find a modern hotel in Takachiho, the front desk was nice and helpful, note that it is such a small town and dining options are not a lot so I would recommend have dinner and breakfast at the hotel. Hotel has a large parking lot and breakfast is great (a bit wait in the morning during peak time)

This hotel is situated about 5 min drive to the Takachiho gorge . However the walk there is quite dangerous and long as it involves walking along windy roads and we even encountered a snake as we drove up from the boating area to the hotel . Parking is free and plentiful . The reception has Nepalese staff who spoke English which was good . We had booked the tatami futon beds which we had to lay out ourselves. The bed was hard and we had difficulty getting up from the floor . Maybe the next time we will book the twin rooms instead . The reason we booked the tatami futon room was that this hotel booking was only available 6 months ahead with Rakuten and they only sell this sort of rooms . Perhaps the hotel should consider opening up all the room bookings well ahead . No chairs were provided in the room . Wifi was adequate but the aircon control could only set to very cold or off . Dinner we had at Eiraku restaurant which the receptionist kindly made the reservation for us . Wonderful Yakiniku restaurant . Very affordable with excellent marbled beef and pork . Breakfast had a good selection of western and Japanese . It was good . Onsen was adequate but not very big . Overall an adequate stay.

When I saw where the hotel was located, I immediately knew that I wanted to stay there because I dreamed of seeing Amanoiwato Jinja. I went to the cave twice, in the morning and in the evening, there is a very beautiful road, and it only takes about 20 minutes to walk. It is also easy to get to Takachiho Gorge, the bus stop is a couple of minutes from the hotel. This was my first experience of staying in a traditional hotel in Japan, and I really liked everything. Delicious dinner and breakfast - I tried a traditional kaiseki dinner, and it was an amazing experience. Attentive, caring hotel staff, perfect cleanliness everywhere, amazing mountain air. Natural wood in the room decoration creates a feeling of warmth and comfort. In the bathroom, you can try Japanese cosmetics. In the evening, you can drink tea, sitting in a comfortable chair with a book. At first, the silence around is unusual, but for us, city dwellers, it is necessary. Since it is dark around, you can see the starry sky - you will not see this in the city. There is a free shuttle from the hotel to the traditional Yokagura show in the evening. For someone interested in mythology, this was very interesting. I did not get the hang of the hot tub right away and I still feel awkward about it, and I forgot to mention that I am allergic to onions, but it is my fault for forgetting to mention it. I would highly recommend the Ryokan Iwatoya, it was an amazing experience.
