Find Ryokans in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan

The moment we arrived at Ryokan Shinsen we were treated with the highest level of attention, something you can only find in a Japanese Ryokan. This was the most traditional experience we had during our three weeks in Japan and it was a great one. The service was outstanding (I had a cold and when we asked them directions to a drug store they dropped everything to drive...The moment we arrived at Ryokan Shinsen we were treated with the highest level of attention, something you can only find in a Japanese Ryokan. This was the most traditional experience we had during our three weeks in Japan and it was a great one. The service was outstanding (I had a cold and when we asked them directions to a drug store they dropped everything to drive us there and back and helped us translating. The next morning the first thing they asked was how my head was). Dinner was yummy and breakfast was full on Japanese, including Natto (if you don't know what it is, don't try it!). There are beautiful Japanese gardens surrounding the Ryokan. The only negative thing was the smell of humidity in the room but apart from that a wonderful stay!

The hotel was very modern and airy which is unusual for a Japanese hotel. It is just up the valley from Takachiho Gorge (about 15-20mins walk away, or 2 mins drive) and it seemed like it was the closest hotel to the gorge. The room itself was huge by Japanese standards and the tatami floor beds were comfortable. There is also plenty of free parking on site. Please note...The hotel was very modern and airy which is unusual for a Japanese hotel.

Please note that Takachiho is very quiet and there are almost no restaurants open at night other than Joyfull restaurant. Highly recommend this hotel if you are visiting Takachiho Gorge (which is well worth the trip).

Takachiho is popular though it is not that touristic as compare to major tourist site in Kyushu. This Ryokan is a bit old but it is reasonable price compare to the same type of hotel. It is located in the city center ;however, this city is convenience for traveler who drive rather than bus. We consider it is a fair hotel on overall aspects. Staff is very helpful.
