Hotel 3-Star di Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan

A nice hotel to rest after a long day drive. The hotel is clean and the staff are friendly and polite. There's a free parking beside the hotel too. And you can enjoy the hot spring in the hotel for free. There is a small bath tub in the room's toilet too. This hotel is quite close to 高干穗峡. The reason I choose this hotel is because of the distance to 高干穗峡 and they are the most affordable hotel within that area. Overall this is a nice hotel, I will definitely visit there again if I go to Kyushu again!

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!!!

This feels more like a self-service business hotel, but its location is incredibly convenient, right in the heart of Miyazaki. The hotel offers great amenities like a microwave and laundry room, which are really handy. We had breakfast at the hotel; the quality was average, but they had a wide variety of fresh vegetables, which helped us get our greens and fiber for the day. We stayed for three nights, and Miyazaki truly exceeded our expectations with its cleanliness, tranquility, comfort, and pleasant climate. The people are warm and genuine, and things are affordable. It's a perfect place for a relaxing getaway!

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.

I’ve stayed in the twin bedroom several times before, but this was my first time staying in this type of room. Although the building is old, it was clean and well-maintained. The bedding was a simple futon-style setup with a mattress laid directly on the floor, but it was very comfortable and I had no issues sleeping. Since the windows are covered only with shoji screens, light comes in from outside at night, and it gets quite bright early in the morning as well. I’m sensitive to light, so I used an eye mask while sleeping. As for noise, nothing in particular bothered me, and I was able to stay comfortably.

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 whole house is huge, and it can actually accommodate four people. Two rooms have tatami mats. If two people live, the next room will be a tatami living room. There is a kitchen where you can cook your own food, there is a large supermarket nearby, and the washing machine has a drying function, but it takes three hours to wash it at a time. Because the house is too big, and then I was scared by the old man and said that you dare to live in the old house. Suddenly I became scared, and I couldn't sleep peacefully all night. It is better to remove the scary painting in the bedroom. After all, behind is the ancient city of Tifei, and there are still many celebrities living in the old residences, which is still a bit scary to think about. But apart from these, the house is still very good. The kitchen and living room are too life-like. There are a lot of personal items such as stereos and so on. It feels like sharing with the owner. Personal opinions, please forgive me if I don’t say anything wrong.

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. 

We came specifically for the boat ride at Takachiho Gorge, and because we were traveling with my parents and children, we decided to stay close by. This hotel is quite new and unique, with a stylish and elegant design. The service was also good, and both breakfast and dinner were delicious. It would have been even better if they had a hot spring! We'll definitely be back next time! 🎶🎶🎶
