5 star hotels in Kyushu

The facilities were good, but there was a lot of unpleasant smell, probably because of the air conditioning inside.

We booked for our honeymoon, and it was a lovely stay. Our room had an excellent view over the beach and pools. We did find the opening times of the pools a bit odd and the lack of affordable food options at the resort a challenge, but with a car, there's plenty of good food options nearby.

The outdoor pools are very nice but beware of the short opening hours.

The environment is great, the hotel facilities are complete, the service is thoughtful and enthusiastic, and there is a rich variety of dining options. Several restaurants require advance reservations.

The hotel offers a free shuttle bus, but it's not listed on Ctrip. You have to call and book it yourself through the hotel's website. The service was excellent. Check-in was done on the sofa while we drank tea. All the staff were so friendly and smiling. It felt like Disneyland by the sea. I didn't visit any of the Okinawa attractions; I just wanted to explore the resort. 🌊 You never get bored here...

The foreign staff member spoke in a very low voice, and it seemed as though he was explaining things to someone who clearly had no control, which made for a completely pointless conversation. I wanted him to explain things properly in Japanese, so I ended up calling a Japanese staff member. I hope they can determine whether they can do this and take appropriate action. Also, the entire staff is on...

good friendly helpful staff. im not driving and reached the place by bus, its 15 mins walk from local bus station, around 20 mins bus ride 110yen to city side , however, the road has no light its a bit scary at night. good facility,amazing golf court, good pools with slide but its a bit dirty(tons of bugs & leaves in water & pool side changing room smells like old bathroom covered with pee) .

The hotel was perfect, breakfasts were delicious and various. Staff were helpful and friendly, a lot of staff spoke English. I can’t wait to come back here in a high season to do more marine activities and enjoy beautiful ocean of Okinawa.

Facilities: All entertainment activities are well-equipped. Hygiene: Clean and sanitary. Service: Warm and friendly.

The hotel is in good location with spectacular views. The dining is nice and staffs are friendly. The beach aeea is not as perfect from watching other previous previews, with sea water wasn't as crystal clear and sands are rather coarse

This hotel is no doubt the best resort in Ishigaki Island. It has a big resort style with exclusive feel. There are a few buildings so make sure you pick the right one for your needs. I chose the newest building facing the ocean. It was very new and clean. The room has nice ocean view and can also see the pool underneath. The balcony is also good as it allows you to hang clothes to dry. However, I...

Cleanliness: Clean and tidy Environment: The entire hotel is very spacious, with several buildings. Service: If you require cleaning service, there's a 1000 JPY charge per person upon check-out.

The location is easy to reach even without a car thanks to regular bus connections. The setting itself is stunning — the hotel is located on a separate peninsula, and the views are truly magnificent. Unfortunately, the hotel building feels very old and worn out. It is difficult to perceive it as a high-end place in its current condition. Because of this, the prices for additional services and restaurants...

Nice hotel facing ocean view. We went for bottom glass boat tour. Very clear water but too cold to Swim. Nice breakfast n pizza dinner very good.

I still vividly remember their 30th-anniversary celebration. Other than the outdated facilities, everything else was impeccable, especially the Executive Lounge – it was absolutely perfect! Great views, excellent food, and an even better atmosphere. I really hope the hotel renovates its facilities soon; it would be a shame to waste such a prime location!

Aside from the slightly dated facilities, this hotel is truly excellent. The location and views are fantastic, and the scenery along the two small paths by the pool was the biggest unexpected highlight. The buffet restaurant with the show was also quite interesting.

Pros: 1. The hotel is close to the Cape Manza scenic spot, with many restaurants and convenience stores nearby. 2. The hotel offers a wide range of water activities, including but not limited to banana boats, jet skis, an inflatable water park, glass-bottom boats, and sunset cruises. If you're not planning on visiting the outer islands, you could easily spend a whole afternoon here. Cons: 1. The hotel...

Absolutely loved it! Especially Ana. This hotel boasts its own beautiful private beach, accessible via a secret path. The breakfast at the executive lounge was also delicious. The location is perfect, right next to Cape Manza in Onna Village, central Okinawa. It's close to the Churaumi Aquarium in the north and also very near Naha. I consider it a perfectly seamless experience. Plus, there were Chinese...

This hotel is super convenient! It's just one subway stop away from both Hakata Station and Tenjin, and right next to Canal City Hakata. There's a Don Quijote about a ten-minute walk away, and a Family Mart right downstairs. The service at the hotel was excellent; someone helped me with my luggage as soon as I arrived. Breakfast was also good.

The location is incredibly convenient and just amazing! It's even walkable to the airport, though I still opted for a taxi. All the shopping, dining, and attractions are within a 20-minute walk.

The hotel's location is excellent, right next to Canal City, so you can go shopping as soon as you step out. The service is fantastic, and everyone is very friendly. The bathroom has great water pressure, making for a very enjoyable bath experience.

Hotel is nice and clean. Located inside canal city hakata, so you can get whatever u want and wont be bored. Access also convenient.

Lovely hotel in an excellent location. Very good service, would recommend for all stays in Fukuoka!

The hotel is located in the city center, about 4km from Fukuoka Airport by taxi, which cost around 2300 yen. The hotel isn't super new, but it's conveniently just one stop away from major shopping areas like Hakata and Tenjin. The only downside was the slightly small bed. Everything else was fine.

This hotel is perfect for a vacation. The room's blinds have a unique design, which unfortunately means they don't block out the morning sun, so if you like to sleep in, it's best to bring an eye mask. Also, the hotel is divided into two sections: Beach Wing and Sunset Wing. We stayed in the Beach Wing this time, and while our balcony overlooked the sea, the hallway outside our door faced a road, and...

This hotel in Onna is about an hour's drive from Naha Airport. The rooms are simply elegant, and they leave a small gift every night during turn-down service. The hotel's restaurants are a highlight, offering high-quality Japanese and Western options, though reservations are a must. My only minor complaint is that the blinds let in a lot of light, making it hard to sleep in late. But overall, it's...

A very comfortable stay, with top-notch experience in terms of rooms, common areas, and service. The only regret is that the strong winds and low temperatures in February made it impossible to enjoy the water activities.

Luxurious in every sense of the word. Impeccable hospitality and amazing atmosphere. Had the best afternoon at the bar Spectra.

I come to Okinawa almost every winter for vacation and have stayed at many ocean-view hotels here. Halekulani Okinawa stands out for both its significant strengths and weaknesses. **Pros:** (1) As a newly built hotel, the facilities are much newer than other hotels. The rooms even have smart tablets to conveniently book restaurants and check out various amenities. (2) Although the restaurant prices...

Everything is good nice staff,clean room and comfortable.

Great location. Great View. Enjoy the sea view at the Balcony

Conveniently located near American Village, with direct views of the ocean and beach. The room was spacious and clean, with complete amenities. The complimentary bath salts were a nice touch, and the souvenir gift was also good. The area around the hotel is quite lively from Friday to weekend evenings, and there are fireworks on Saturday nights.

Great place! Great service. Will recommend.

The room was tiny, the bathroom was small, and even the bed was small... It's ridiculous that their own facilities weren't open. We had to go to the Hilton next door just to swim or have dinner.

Nice hotel facing sea view n beside American village. And bus direct from airport to American village .

Nice view, and location! Can see firework on Sat!

The room is spacious. The location is good! Hakata station is just opposite the hotel. The services are great. The breakfast buffet is nice and worth trying it!

the staffs are friendly and easy to talk to..  very polite and hospitable.. the whole hotel is very well maintain and very clean… from the restaurant down to the public spa, all are very clean and in order. i will definitely come back again…

Same dishes for the breakfast throughout my stay. Will be great if there are some changes everyday.

The staff are helpful and the hotel is easy to reach.

This hotel boasts an excellent location, right across from Hakata Station (Chikushi Exit). It's connected to Hankyu Department Store and AMU PLAZA, and there are tons of drugstores, yakiniku restaurants, and ramen shops nearby. What I loved most were the abundance of brunch coffee shops! It's only two stops to Tenjin and two stops to the airport. There's also an airport shuttle bus (310 JPY, cashless...

I had a great stay at Miyako Hotel Hakata. The location is extremely convenient—just a short walk from the subway station, which made getting around Fukuoka very easy. Check-in and check-out were smooth and efficient. The room was well-equipped with everything I needed, and daily housekeeping kept it spotlessly clean. I’ll definitely consider staying here again the next time I visit Fukuoka.

Nice locationin Kumamoto. You can shopping just downstairs.

To be honest, this hotel is located right above the bus station, which is super convenient. You can easily walk to Kumamoto Castle, and shopping and dining in Kumamoto are also within easy walking distance. It's especially time-saving if your next destination is Kagoshima or Hitoyoshi, as Japan's infrastructure has been a bit disappointing lately – the railway is still damaged from a flood and hasn...

This hotel is really nice and conveniently located right on top of Sakura Machi mall, so there are plenty of food options and shops for shopping. Right across the street is a pedestrian street, which is great for walking around. It’s not too crowded, so the atmosphere is quite relaxed. There’s also a major bus stop right downstairs, which makes it super convenient—especially if you don’t have a car...

Very conveniently located! Parking is the same as mall amd the side of the building bside bus terminal Room waa cleaned and nice size for a couple Well recommended

I was pleasantly surprised by how great this stay was! The hotel exceeded my expectations in many ways. The location is excellent—close to public transportation, restaurants, and shopping areas, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Overall, a wonderful experience, and I would...

Excellent location connected to malls and bus Termina. Great breakfast..Great helpful staff helping out the storage of our luggage as we come earlier!

Beautiful hotel, very good location with excellent beach and infrastructure, definitely will come here again, especially many thanks to the Umi Saga-San for help

The facilities and food are good overall. For a 5-star hotel, I felt the housekeeping was a bit sloppy.

The service was polite, the room was clean and very nice. I was happy that the amenities were Diptyque! It was a little disappointing that we had to queue for breakfast, but I guess that can't be helped💦

It was nice that the golf course and hotel were conveniently located.

It was such a wonderful hotel that I didn't want to check out. The rooms were spacious and there was a jacuzzi, which the kids enjoyed. There was a wide variety of dishes at breakfast, and we started the day off right with a luxurious meal of shrimp and scallops. We were also able to see sea turtles, which the kids loved! However, when we arrived, we were not shown to our room even though it was past...

The room is very spacious and bright. The resort offers Japanese and Western breakfasts, which you can choose freely. There is unlimited champagne, which is great.

Excellent Resort Hotel Love the private onzen Breakfast was superb many varieties of local produce as well as sashimi

This hotel is excellent, offering incredible value for money. It's definitely the top choice on Mount Kirishima. The private hot springs are absolutely amazing!

It was okay, pretty standard. The hotel management program is worth mentioning, and the location is excellent.

Really comfortable hotel with 3 private onsen room to choose from. Buffet breakfast is simple but delicious.

Extremely good onsen resort. Excellent location with magnificent view. Room is clean and spacious with private onsen tub. Dinner and breakfast are also of great value. Free ramen for supper. Public onsen is great. Staff are all very welcoming and friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Its a good place as a onsen resort hotel. The onsens are really good. The food is so so but they provide free flow ramen and ice-pop at night as supper and snack. The room is spacious, clean and quiet. There is a private onsen tub at the balcony of our room. It is so nice to enjoy it in the breezy spring. It will be better if you have own car to stay here. There do not have much choice of public...

I had a few challenges during my recent stay at the hotel. Firstly, I requested a late check-out after booking but unfortunately, my request was not accommodated. Additionally, at 11 PM, I experienced a malfunction with the TV in my room, which was quite inconvenient. I noticed that the hotel restaurant GUSUKU advertised lunch options, but it was unexpectedly closed during my visit. Lastly, I was...

I encountered the worst staff member at this hotel. They asked for an extra blanket and dragged it across the floor onto the bed. When I pointed it out, they said it was fine.

The environment is very comfortable and secluded. We didn't play golf, so we didn't enjoy the hotel's course. However, we did enjoy the teppanyaki grill, which had excellent ingredients. While it can't compare to Tokyo, it's top-notch in Okinawa. When we went out, we asked the concierge to pick us up at the beach. He was responsive and provided professional service.

The environment is beautiful and suitable for couples to travel. The hotel is clean and tidy, the room is comfortable, and the service is generally good. The golf course is good and is suitable for checking in as described. It is worth recommending and I will come again next time.

Very nice hotel, especially the swimming pool. The food in the restaurant was also very good.

Everything is good, except the network is not good. Especially at night

This is our 2nd time to stay at this hotel. ANA intercontinental Beppu maintains its quality standard. The room is clean and comfortable with good view. The restaurants offer the delicious food. The outdoor onsen facility provides the beautiful ocean view. In the meanwhile, their SPA is nearly the best treatment which we have experienced. This hotel is highly recommended for the stay when you visit...

After reading other reviews, they were all overwhelmingly positive. Having stayed in numerous hotels, the ANA InterContinental Beppu definitely ranks in my top three. First, let's talk about transportation: Beppu Station is quite small. Remember to exit from the West Exit (this was told to us by the hotel shuttle driver; apparently, many international guests wait for a long time at the East Exit...

The room was great, but the location is super remote – be prepared for a very quiet, almost deserted area. You'll need taxis to get around. Breakfast was really mediocre, and the hot springs were just okay, definitely not worth the price.

Nice hotel and good experience of hot spring and really suitable for family

Best hotel in Beppu,, Onsen very relaxing, service and staff are amazing, Elements restaurant is not too bad. Would definitely come here again

This is an excellent hotel. It's nestled on a mountain overlooking the ocean, offering beautiful scenery. The hot springs are fantastic, and they even have private baths available for an extra charge. Dinner was superb; we had Japanese cuisine in an elegant setting. The Japanese chef was very professional, and the dishes were outstanding. Breakfast was semi-buffet style and also delicious. The rooms...

Maybe due to weather issue, seems some mosquitoes and flies,, even inside room, the hotel is a bit old but kept not bad, service is perfect too, I like their velvet parking, just 1000yen/night and you may drop off at door. Amenities are adequate but I don't like the package of toothpaste which was a small bag and hard to open. Room was spacious; some shops around after crossing the bridge, if the...

The staff was friendly. We were upgraded to a better room upon arrival, which was a pleasant and unexpected surprise. There's a free, frequent shuttle to and from the beach. The breakfast menu is varied. The room has everything you need for comfort, including three types of loungewear. A luxurious spa area with complimentary ice cream. Umbrellas at the exit. The sister hotel, accessible via a bridge...

It's truly a 5-star hotel, beyond belief. I'm so satisfied! The size of the room, the quality of the breakfast, and most importantly, the charm of the night pool! I've already promised to book this hotel again next time I visit Okinawa.

I was worried because there weren't many Korean reviews, but it was fantastic! There are many expensive, nice hotels in the north, but I recommend cutting down your budget and staying at Exys! They offer valet service, and the staff are super friendly. They even give you a welcome tea at check-in and even help carry your luggage to your room. (They even have Korean staff!) (I think they charge for...

I stayed from August 21st to August 23rd. The toilet overflowed during my stay. I had been bothered by the smell since day one. The toilet looked nice and clean, but the smell was unavoidable and I thought maybe the water pressure was weak. The morning of the second day, the toilet started to drain poorly after use and finally overflowed. I contacted the front desk, and a worker and cleaning staff...

There was a large pool and the kids seemed to have a lot of fun. There was a Shisa coloring experience, but I couldn't participate due to timing, so I would definitely like to let my kids try it next time. There were various things to keep the kids happy, which was helpful.

This place is really nice, but the location is so deep in the mountains that you can't do anything else. It's really just for a relaxing staycation.

The room had a beautiful view and a private small terrace. The dining options were limited, but the French restaurant was quite good. There was a shuttle bus service, and the hotel service was good. It seemed to be mostly Japanese guests.

Very clean and staff were amazing!

Great staff and that makes the difference.

A great hotel for unwinding, complete with excellent facilities. The staff cultivates a personal and warm atmosphere. While the property has a somewhat old-fashioned feel, it doesn't detract from the overall experience.

I think the fine dining restaurant would be more convenient if they offered lighter course options. The bed was spacious and comfortable.

It was simply wonderful. The rooms and food were excellent, of course, but the staff's...

Facilities: Very comprehensive. Cleanliness: Spotless. Environment: Right by the beach, absolutely beautiful. Service: Excellent service.

The hotel is excellent, with plenty of activities to do. The adjacent Busena Terrace is also open to all guests, and breakfast is available at various restaurants or in your room. The outdoor warm water spa is very comfortable. Service and facilities are excellent; there's a handwritten welcome card, and rooms are cleaned twice daily, always spotless. Many details demonstrate the hotel's thoughtful...

Because it was the off-season and rainy season, there were very few guests, but all the staff were considerate and made for a very satisfying trip. The facilities were new and clean. And the sea was very clear.

The service is very attentive and it feels great to be at home! The room was very comfortable and the sea view was amazing. I would like to come again if I have the chance!

We came here with my family and we are all very satisfied. Although the hardware is a bit "retro" and not as digital as in China, I really like the island resort style here. The rooms and scenery are very beautiful. What is even more unforgettable is the service details of the staff here, which made us feel the humanistic warmth of Okinawa🏝️🐟🍍💙😊

The ambiance was excellent, and the restaurant is definitely worth a visit. The service was impeccable; an hour before heading to the airport, I realized I'd left my phone in a taxi, and the hotel manager immediately checked the security footage and contacted the driver to return it (I even gave the driver a thank-you fee). I was extremely grateful! I would definitely stay here again next time. If...

The environment is beautiful, but the location is remote, so driving is the best option. The staff provided excellent service. The breakfast was semi-buffet style; I wish there were more options. I would consider staying here again next time.

I think choosing this hotel on Miyakojima for my honeymoon was the best choice :) The facilities, programs, and view were all perfect, and I was happy every time I opened my eyes. The room cleaning service and other programs held daily by the hotel itself, such as yoga, bath salt making, and sunset delight (champagne and cocktails provided), are attractive points that make you not bored if you have...

Everything was perfect... except there was only one restaurant on site... If you have a car, Miyakojima is not about location.

It's the best for families to come and play. It would be better if you prepare thoroughly before going. Breakfast. Western and Japanese food. Both are great. If you go to the nearby beach. It's the best compared to other places. Showers always cost 100 yen. The downside is that there's only one convenience store. Nearby restaurants close too early or you have to make a reservation. Other than that...

The explanations given by the reception staff were hard to understand. It was hard to hear. The facility was nice, but it didn't feel as special as you'd expect for the price.

The location is right under the bridge, very close to the airport! The rooms are nice, but the hotel is very small, with only a tiny beach and no swimming pool! Not suitable for traveling with children! Relatively speaking, Hilton is better.

Everything was great, except there was no swimming pool.

The service was excellent, the staff were very polite, the environment was clean, and the room facilities were very good.

The decoration of the hotel is good, but I'm not sure if it's due to the off-season. The hotel doesn't have a bar, and apart from breakfast, there's no dinner service. There's nothing around the hotel, and it's difficult to walk without a car. As a hotel without these supporting services, I think it is inappropriate.

Rooms were new and shiny. Exceptional Italian dinner. Pleasant and attentive service. Killer views from the terrace suites. There is a beach nearby. Overall of quite good value. Checked us in hours before the usual time. Very welcoming. Only downside is that you need a car.

This hotel is a 20-minute taxi ride from Kagoshima Airport. The room comes with a private bath, and the dinner and breakfast are amazing, with different meals every night.

The rooms at this hotel are large and have great views. The open-air bath is especially nice, right next to the stream. The food is exquisite. My favorite is the foot bath, the view is stunning. Although Kyushu's hot springs are generally located in valleys with streams, this hotel still stands out for its scenery.

A super perfect experience, friendly service, perfect meals, unbeatable views, an unforgettable journey, especially the service from ********* people at the counter! I have already planned my next visit! It's great!

The service is very good, the staff can speak both Chinese and English, the room is also very good, unexpectedly large, the food is also good, with spring ingredients, the hot spring is also very good, and the scenery is also very good when you walk around.

The hotel room and food is one of the best! would highly recommend staying!

The room is very clean and tidy, the service is very thoughtful and meticulous, the scenery is pleasant, the hot spring is also very good, and there is a private hot spring

Rather than one dish that left a particularly strong impression, the overall meal was well-made and enjoyable from start to finish, leaving me very satisfied. I was worried that the hot spring would have a strong sulfur smell, but it wasn't that noticeable in reality, and the free-flowing hot spring water warmed me from the inside out, making it very comfortable. Nakai, the foreigner who took care...

The friendly, sophisticated service you'd expect from a traditional ryokan is matched by the delicious food. The room itself was spacious and comfortable, with a separate bedroom in addition to the traditional tatami room. Valet parking is available at the entrance. We ate privately in a separate room on the second floor. The kaiseki cuisine was beautiful, seasoned just right, not overly sweet, and...

Our first ryokan experience was here from 12/11/25 to 13/11/25. We stayed to our maximum time checking out at 11:00am and enjoying the 24 hour free coffees at the coffee room. The private onsen with luxuriously spacious bedroom, living room and bathroom was everything promised from the booking.com. Website. The onsens were well equipped, super well kept and clean with all thoughts to what would be...

A great place to stay, which features awesome food, friendly service and comfort room. In addition, it is close to the tourist spots.

If you're visiting Kirishima, this is a good choice. If you're going to Kirishima Shrine, this is the top choice, as it's a 10-minute walk from the shrine and within a 10-minute drive of other attractions like ranches. Crucially, the service is exceptional; they proactively ask where you're going and usually offer pick-up and drop-off. The hotel has about 10 rooms, and you rarely see guests, except...

This hot spring inn offers excellent traditional Japanese service. Their service, ambiance, rooms, and food are comparable to a five- or six-star hotel. The surrounding environment blends seamlessly with nature. They have lovely foreign staff who are very helpful and accommodating to English-speaking guests. If I had the time, I would love to stay longer.

We have a great time at this amazing ryokan. Their breakfast and dinner are delicious. We parked our car at the ryokan and it’s only walking distance to one of the sightseeing spot. It is a very convenient location. They don’t have a lot of rooms as it is very private for us. The room is very traditional and very beautiful. The futon they prepared for us is soft and comfortable. I was six months pregnant...

We spent a long time looking for a traditional Ryokan in Japan, especially after having an unforgettable stay in Hakone 10 years ago. This time, we chose Beppu, known for its natural hot springs—and it was the perfect decision! This Ryokan gave us one of the best experiences of our lives. Everything exceeded our expectations. The staff were incredibly friendly and made our stay even more special....

Our best experience in Japan so far! Maybe it was expensive, but it was so worth it for the private onsen alone. There were inside and outside pools on our room's terrace. The atmosphere was so calming and relaxing. We had great, top-notch kaiseki dinner, which afterward we gone back to the onsen! All of their staff are so lovely and welcoming. We also enjoyed the Japanese style breakfast. Highly recommended...

Just wow. We stayed here for one night at the end of our 2-week trip to Japan, and it was the most rejuvenating and peaceful way to end our trip. There were good amenities, spacious rooms, and well-maintained baths. But above all else, the service was so so SO incredible that made the stay worth every penny. The manager and attendant were both so thoughtful and made our stay so comfortable. The food...

My husband and I splurged for a one night stay to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. The staff was so friendly and helpful, even asking to take commemorative photos for us! The dinner and breakfast were absolutely scrumptious. Being able to enjoy private indoor and outdoor baths was beyond luxurious, and the room was so spacious and comfortable. Quite honestly, the nicest place we have ever stayed...

Highly recommended if you want to enjoy a true Japanese hot spring. The staff is very friendly and you can experience traditional Japanese ryokan and food.
