Hotels for smokers in Kyushu

Interesting Japanese onsen experience. For western travellers is a nice way to get insight in traditional onsen culture. Food was so interesting at the restaurant downstairs. Recommend for anyone wanting onsen bath experience, peaceful stay by the water, great views. Really enjoyed cycling around the island using the hotel bikes.

Dinner was awesome, view was nice with quiet streets. Onsen is available but definitely not as nice as the others we had been to.

We had a trafitional.Japenese room. Fantastic view of the bay. Hotel dated but clean Reservations needed for dinner. We didnt dine there . Easy to catch the ferry

Very nice hotel with an ocean view! Attached natural onsen, and great breakfast.

spa with wonderful seaview in a cozy japanese style bedroom facing sea too

Well. You can definitely find a better place to go with way less money. Small room and dirty AC and smelly. Private bath is okay but way too small and not clean and meal is okay but could be better. I won’t recommend this place to anybody. Go to a hotel instead.

Awesome service as expected from a Japanese Ryokan. There was a lot of food and it was delicious. The sake was great as well with a fruity flavor. To take a shower you do need to use the familiar public onsen once available but still a great experience

The public bath for day trips is 500 yen. 11:00-16:00 Shampoo and conditioner available. Towels can be borrowed for free. A hair dryer is also provided. Family bath is 2000 yen. The large public bath has an open air outside, but it was a little lukewarm and it would have been nice if it was a little warmer like the indoor bath. This is where it gets a little sad. Both the dressing room and the bathroom...

Stayed one night. The word of mouth said that only 3 out of 5 baths could be used. When I went there, all five family baths were ready to use. When I arrived at the inn, there was no one at the front desk. It felt like someone would come out after pressing a button. There are 5 hot springs, and the baths with the lights on are used, so the system was such that the ones with the lights off could be...

This was only the third Ryokan we've ever been to, and it stood out to be the best in terms of comfort and value! Great service; great food; good location (not as secluded as other ryokans, but very accessible).

It's a great place if you want quietness. Great place beside the sea. It's great to hear the sound of waves. The place is located a little bit far from the places of interest. No worries if you have a car. It's a great stay and the breakfast is nice.

The sea view unit is blocked by a tree on the left, what a pity

I stayed at Lue, which wasn't a bad experience, but there wasn't much to do at the hotel. Breakfast was simple but satisfying. I don't know if I'd go back, but it's in a great location.

🕰️Opening Hours: 3pm check-in 11am check out No employees were at the reception from 2am to 5am 🏖️ Environment/Facilities: Sea view 401 room, but the front has been covered by trees, only see little sea view, the indoor place is spacious and clean and comfortable, but the air conditioning 18°C is not cold There is free parking Paid washer dryer You can buy their fireworks for ¥770

When you leave the hotel, it's like a private beach. The view is amazing. However, the facilities are not that great. The toilet doesn't have a washlet. The shower is the type that sprays water. The pressure is weak and it doesn't feel like you're washing properly. On top of that, the curtain in the unit bath was broken and came off. It was fixed the next day, but I was pretty tired after taking a...

If you are planning to visit Nago, Motobu, or Yanbaru and looking for something reasonably priced, I highly recommend it.

Nice staff, great location, clean rooms

Generally good to live, one demerit is the bed is too soft

The advantages are that it's very close to Sasebo Train Station, about 300 meters away, and 200 meters from the bus terminal and bus hub. There's also a laundry room, surprisingly on the rooftop. It's also convenient for dining and shopping near the port. The disadvantages are that the room was incredibly small and had a musty smell. The air conditioning at the front desk was turned up high, but not...

I should have eaten breakfast elsewhere. I asked for a raw egg to be fired for a child, but I was refused because I wasn't in charge of making it. A microwave oven can be used at least freely. It was said that there is a parking lot, but it is a style that parks in front of the hotel, deposits the key at the front desk, and the hotel side enters the parking lot in order according to the next sunrise...

There is a pay parking lot, but there are few cars, the hotel staff parks in front of the hotel and moves. You can dine at the restaurant on the 2nd floor, and COSPA is normal. Free breakfast is bread and coffee is self. Others will be offered at the Imperial Palace.

We stayed with three generations. The building itself felt old, but it was kept clean and well-maintained overall, and there was no unpleasant impression whatsoever. The staff were all kind, and although we arrived very late due to a problem, they were incredibly considerate, arranging dinner for us. The portions were huge, and not only the seafood but also the meat was delicious. The only downside...

As other reviewers have said, you'll be more than satisfied with the service, food, and large public baths, all of which exceed the price. Although the wallpaper in some inconspicuous areas of the guest rooms is damaged, the tatami mats have been replaced and the bathrooms are clean. The room was also very spacious and luxurious. There is a wide selection of souvenirs, and there are restaurants, convenience...

Not bad, close to the sea, you can fish at high tide, the room is small

Although the facilities are a little old, I could tell they were making an effort to provide the food. The food was so good I couldn't finish it. It was delicious.

The hotel was aged I mean enough to makes me feel nostalgic. Parking is convenient and enough. I book the Japanese-Style Standard Room · 1 Room - It said just this (Some room might said no bath so I did not pick but I got no bath nor shower in room anyway - only their big public bath makes it a little adventurous for us for ones who travel with kids and didnot plan to do public bath which makes me...

By chance, I visited when the annual pottery exhibition was being held. The venue was about a 3-minute walk from the hotel, so I dropped in and had a great time. The food was also delicious! I had always wanted to try seafood when I went to Amakusa, so I was impressed by the sumptuous sashimi. The building is old, but the rooms were well-cleaned and I was able to relax with peace of mind. The hotel...

It's close to the Tanegashima Yakutaka Trail and I use it when I'm in Kagoshima City. The food is filling and satisfying.

We stayed at Aqua Garden Hotel Fukumaru for our school trip! We stayed in room 408, which was a Japanese-style room! Sakurajima couldn't be seen from our room, but it looked so beautiful when we went outside🌸🏝

We had a wonderful stay at the Aqua! The staff and owner were incredibly kind and helpful and the tatami room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed one of the best made Japanese/western breakfasts ever at the hotel’s restaurant. We hope to return soon.

Good location with magnificent view of Sukurajima. That lady attended to us is super helpful. Highly recommended if you are there. Me lucky to be here.

I felt it was an old inn. The taps made annoying noises and the indoor slippers were not new. However, the staff were very friendly. Breakfast was delicious and parking was cheap. It would have been even better if there were bottled water in the rooms.

The staff was very kind. Walking distance from Tenmonkan. Nearby is a Showa-style restaurant district. Location is ok. The facility is old, so it can't be helped, but it was quite cold at night. Is your air conditioner weak?

The place is large and the scenery is beautiful. The facilities are decent, and it has some history.

Wonderful view over the valley, this spacious room offers a private onsen. Completely with tatami mats and comfortable beds it’s a very relaxing stopover fur the pretty town of Yulfuin. It’s not the easiest of places to find, tucked away at the end of a small windy road outside of town. There are no eateries nearby, so as the restaurant was closed, we had to stock up on food from the supermarket....

Must stay The meal is excellent. Service is great

I had an amazing time at Ryokan Yufuin Tsubaki. I booked the half-board stay at Tsubaki using ******* and the staff at Tsubaki was in contact with me almost immediately to confirm the details and finalize the pick up time from Yufuin Station. Note that as a fan of walking, even Tsubaki's location is a bit far from the Yufuin Station so once the staff picks you up at the train station to take you back...

I was very satisfied with this hot spring trip. The hotel is only a 10-minute drive from Kinrin Lake. The breakfast and dinner are very rich and delicious. The independent hot spring is located underground, which is very unique. I am also very grateful to the hotel manager for arranging a proposal for me in the hot spring hotel. Thank you for arranging roses for me in the past 2-3 months! This is a...

Food was disappointing for this price point. The onsen area relies on steam to block prying eyes. But this also means there is no outside view for us. The other property we stayed at offered better value, despite having a higher price.

It's a very old inn and the interior hasn't been renovated, but it still seemed to be well cleaned and maintained. My plan included dinner and breakfast, and there was a wide variety of buffet items, so I was very satisfied. It was summer vacation, so there were a lot of children there, and I could hear footsteps from upstairs until late at night, which made it difficult to sleep, which was a bit disappointing

This hotel had a spacious room for three people and outstanding guests door and outdoor onsen bathes. I highly recommend this hotel. We plan to stay there on our next trip.

Very good room, big hot spring, next time you can come here with your family and come to climb the mountain

We had a triple-person room, but the Japanese-style futon was very hard and the bed springs were hard too! The toilet was tiny!

The building was old, but it had been renovated properly, which was nice. The bath and washroom in the room were still the same as they were in the Showa era, which was nice in its own way. The hot spring was spacious, with white hot spring water, and the view from the balcony was amazing.

Quality hotel - 20 mins drive from Ebino Plateau Good base for exploring area. Rooms are huge with great views. Kaseki dining in-room was excellent. Large indoor and small outdoor onsen provided variety. Helpful staff given we were probably the only non-Japanese staying there.

Friendly English-speaking staff. Close to the airport and ferry.

Great place to go, have a room to work from.

Very nice place for backpackers. I was able to meet many new people. They have some kind of a deal with a local diving company, so when at the hostel you can book diving or snorkeling and get some percent off the price👍🏼

People here are friendly. Help me to result all the problems, including I broke my car. Thanks for caring.

A renowned hotel 6 minutes drive away from Ibusuki station and 3 minutes walk to Saraku Sand Bath. The hotel is well maintained and staff are friendly and professional. They have staff that speaks both Japanese and English, and there is a shuttle bus service from the station to the hotel. Within the hotel, there is a single bath area, shop for locally produced souvenirs, dining and lounge area. The...

Their service is excellent as they assign a staff to follow through your stay there. She will manage your meal and room cleaning schedule and bowed to bye you when your leave. There is sand bath at ¥1500.

The hospitality upon arriving at the inn was great, and the food was absolutely delicious! I was very satisfied with the delicious meals I was able to eat both in the evening and in the morning! The sand bath was also just a 3-minute walk away!

I was very grateful that they were able to accommodate my last-minute request about my child's likes and dislikes. The service staff were also highly skilled, making for a very comfortable stay. (Thank you, Kazuko ❤️) However, while this is understandable given the size and location of the inn, I was disappointed that the open-air bath only offered a view of the sky.

The room was clean and the food was delicious! The sand bath near the inn was also a very memorable experience.

The staff training for the staff seems to be thorough, and I was very satisfied with my stay as it was a comfortable one.

The place is a bit remoted. You need to perform self check in.

Great value for money during the off-season. The room was a partial sea view. It's inconvenient if you don't have a car.

The room looked clean, but when I walked over to the tatami area, I was surprised to see hair, sand, and dust all over the floor. After a closer look, I could only describe how dusty, sandy, and hairy it was! I couldn't believe it... I even wiped the floor and dusted the pillows before I could finally rest. I wouldn't stay here again.

There were plenty of parking spaces. Check-in was self-service, and the people ahead of us usually took about ten minutes to check in. We waited for half an hour before it was our turn. The terrace didn't have flooring, which was a bit shabby. The room was fairly clean.

Although the location is a bit remote, it is a good place to take a break...

This hotel is great, with a good location and a reasonable price. It is definitely worth it. The breakfast is also very rich. The bathrooms are separate and have a disinfection system. The family stayed for two nights and everyone was very satisfied

Nice town, but the hotel facilities seems not update to date.

The hotel has a great location, right near the bus station and the entrance to the Hell attraction. It's about a 10-minute walk to the town's main commercial area. The hotel offers bed-making service while guests are out for dinner. The room I booked had a private onsen (hot spring bath), which was very convenient. The onsen here is authentic, with a strong sulfur smell, and leaves your skin smooth...

Great room. Amenities lacking. Staff didn’t speak English at all.

I stayed here for my birthday trip. Right from the moment I was greeted, I was very welcomed and felt at ease. The hot spring was very pleasant, and the amenities were of good taste. The building and rooms were well-cleaned, and it was clear that they had put a lot of thought into it. Dinner and breakfast were also surprisingly delicious, exceeding my expectations! They had prepared a cake for me as...

The location is excellent, and you can walk to Unzen Jigokudani in a few minutes. The springs are acidic, simple sulfur springs, and sulfate springs. They have the effect of relieving fatigue and beautifying the skin! You can also pray at the hot spring shrine and Manmyoji Temple, which is very relaxing!

Super friendly, excellent rooms, excellent dinner and breakfast.

Very good hotel with two meals,

Excellent service and Kaiseki! You're gonna love this ryokan!

Lovely Japanese Inn with excellent service. There's a public onsen which everyone can use and I think all rooms have their own private onsen. Very nice atmosphere and incredibly relaxing. A short walk away from the sights, shops and restaurants of Yufuin. Very recommended.

It was wonderful to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and watch the sun go down. ♪ The food and hot springs were both satisfying. ♪ The staff were also great. ♪

We were in the old building on the second floor and it seems they had some leakage problems. For instance, small flies like springtails were in the toilet room. I guess the new part of the hotel would be better. Also when the neighbours used the sink, the water came up in our sink. So I think in general the hotels plumbing could need some work. The rooms have a lovely view on the ocean.

It was a good price for a four-night stay as a solo traveller, but the view from the room and the dining options were a bit disappointing.

Not the newest facilities but everything was functional, clean and comfortable. Service was impeccable and everyone (from counter to restaurant) extended omotenashi. Dinner and breakfast were great, no wonder the multiple awards they won! Highly recommended!

Super good, I like the food, accommodation, hot springs and service staff. I will definitely stay here again next time. I stayed for two nights and it was very relaxing and comfortable. The sunset was also beautiful.

The building itself is old, but it has been well-cleaned and kept clean, the restaurant seems to have been renovated, it has a very stylish space, and all the food was delicious. Above all, the hospitality of the staff was amazing! We had a comfortable stay. The adorable cats were also soothing. As one of the eight sunset views, we were able to see a big, round, beautiful sunset. This is an inn that...

The rooms were spacious, and private onsen (hot spring bath) was available for free rental. It wasn't far from the train station. The only downside was that check-out time was 10:00 AM. After check-out, both the guest and their luggage had to leave the hotel. There was no luggage storage. Having traveled all over Japan, this was the first time I'd encountered a hotel like this. The owner claimed it...

While the ryokan seemed a bit dated, its cleanliness was excellent, and the view was absolutely stunning. We also appreciated being able to reserve the private open-air bath. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly, making our entire trip a wonderful stay!

The kindness of the owner of hotel was not good.

The owner is very nice. It is rare to have public baths and free private baths. The only downside is that the allergy level in the room doubles during the pollen season. I don't know why.

I love it so much ♥ ♥ ♥ Thank you so much for being so kind to me. I hope you always stay healthy and prosper!

I am satisfied with the overall experience. The hot springs were good and the location was good. The owner was kind. However, you can't stay in the lobby on the first floor after the check-out time. My father, who is not feeling well, was kicked out on a rainy day with three suitcases.

It's conveniently located about a 20-minute walk from the remote island terminal and about a five-minute walk from Kokusai-dori. It's also close to the Yui Rail station, so it's very convenient. The receptionist was very nice.

I was satisfied with the single room, which was similar in price to a capsule hotel in Naha City. However, the overall facilities were not up-to-date and clean.

The hotel is conveniently located Nearby is the Kokusai-dori entrance and the Prefectural Government Station. The hotel reception is on the 2nd floor The person in charge is very friendly and provides detailed information The second floor is the living room with tables and chairs and water supply

The bed was comfortable! Good location!

For this price, I didn't have high expectations, but it was clean and comfortable. I was surprised that even though it was a dormitory, there were bath towels, face towels, a toothbrush set and a razor in the room. There was also a refrigerator in the room, so it was very comfortable.

The location of the hotel is quite convenient and the price is very cheap, so you can't expect too much from the hotel. I booked the wrong time at the hotel, but they adjusted it, which was good.

I think the location is great! However, the futons were thin. The men's restroom was very smelly. Well, it was really cheap, so I guess it can't be helped.

I am writing this review as a honest feedback to the manager/owner. My friend, you have such a nice location and a reasonable building with such a nice/large rooftop. But the cleanliness is poor by any standard and really terrible by Japanese standard. The toilet smells, the bedsheets were worn out, the overall looks of the open space was cramped and dirty. The roof has puddles of water after rainfall...

The hotel left a note for late arrivals at check-in, which was very thoughtful. It's also very close to a famous rice ball shop, so you can try it in line. Overall, the price is excellent, and the showers are also very clean.

The hotel waiter had a very good service attitude and was very enthusiastic. He patiently explained many issues to me. If I come to this place next time, I will still want to come to this place.

Good surprise, not easy to find but well located, the showers are great, the staff who also works at Lohas is very nice, and the family room is just great. Small window though

Ryukyu glass cups. I learned for the first time here that they're heat resistant. I bought the one on the left!

Located in the heart of Kokusai Street, the location is very convenient. The bars of Makishi and Sakaemachi are within walking distance, and there are countless restaurants and bars in the area. The hotel is old, but it is well-maintained. Amenities are self-service at the front desk, and all the basic necessities are provided. The refrigerator keeps a good temperature, which is very convenient.

If you don't care much about the room, the location is good because it is located along Kokusai-dori. 3 minutes walk from convenience store A 10-minute walk to the prefectural office north exit bus stop where high-speed buses to Churaumi Aquarium and Kouri Island leave

The hotel itself is undeniably old, but it faces Kokusai Street, and the service is good. I used it for business, but it was very helpful to keep the large luggage that I had shipped earlier for free.

Stayed for 3 people in August 2019. I don't know the price details because it's a package, but it's a cheap hotel on Kokusai Street and the location is great. The car is about 1,000 yen per day at the hotel. However, we searched for a pay P that fits the way we move (about 800 yen for 12 hours) and walked to check in. The room is small, but it's only for one night. It's a noisy street, but the soundproofing...

Very good service and good rate

The lady there was very kind and the homemade breakfast was delicious. However, the facilities are too old and the room floors are worn out.

The check-in was smooth and the room was clean. Thank you.

The hotel is very similar to the style of Hawaii in the United States. You need to drive to get there, but it is very cost-effective. There is a swimming pool, which should be very comfortable in summer. It is not far from Manzamo. It is quiet and comfortable.

They are kind and The room is a bit old, but the appliances are also old, but they work quite well. I wonder if the refrigerator will work, but it works very well. Hmm, you can think of it as a slightly old Gapyeong pension!

The entrance was near the parking lot, so it was easy to take in and out luggage. I would like to use it again.

You can book/use both indoor and outdoor private onsen which is really nice! and the staff are nice and helpful. Also the area this Ryokan is located in the city is very convenient and nice! And is very close to the seven hells of Beppu.

This guesthouse was one of the most touching experiences of my journey in Japan. From the moment I arrived, I felt a rare sense of warmth and calm. The fact that it is run by elderly hosts gives the place a unique soul — everything feels slower, more genuine, and deeply human. It truly feels like stepping into a traditional Japanese home. The hosts were incredibly kind and attentive, always present...

Great location near Kannawa. It feels more like a guesthouse, very Japanese in style. Hyotan Onsen is very close by, but after 9 PM, there's hardly anyone on the streets, and it's quite dark, which felt a bit scary. Check-in was quite casual; no registration needed, but there was a 250 tax to pay. The host didn't speak English, so communication was difficult. As soon as I arrived, they offered a...

Even the location is good but it difficult to go to and there is no sign of the ryokan at all. The room is very old and authentic which it almost 200 yrs. But request ice will cost 500 yen which should be free servicea.

This guesthouse is full of travel charm. You can reserve the bathtub for private use, and the meals are enough for 2 to 3 people, with sashimi, tempura, steamed dishes, and Western food—so much food you'll be spoiled for choice. You could buy eggs nearby and enjoy steaming them in the garden, but you won't be able to eat that much. If you ask the landlady for alcohol, coffee, pudding, etc., she'll...

The facilities are relatively old, the location is easy to find, the three Obasan are very Nice, did not meet other tourists, basically equal to private soup, the food is average
