Tokiwaso in Miyakonojo

We were a couple in our late 20s and stayed here for the first time during our Miyazaki Prefecture trip.

It was absolutely amazing.
This is the perfect inn for making wonderful memories.
My husband and I have already talked about staying here again when we visit Miyazaki Prefecture. 😊

Everything about the food, rooms, sauna, and staff was excellent.

Some reviews have criticized the age of the facilities, but personally, considering this is a historic inn that opened in 1961, I don't think it's worth the worry.
This inn originally started as a restaurant, so the food is delicious.

The building is old, but it appears to have been renovated in places.
I would recommend this inn to anyone who believes there's a reason it has lasted so long.

I usually get rhinitis at regular business hotels, but I didn't get sick, so I think the inn is very clean.

I'll share my thoughts below.

◾️General
It's located in a quiet area.
The stars are beautiful to see.
There's a ranch nearby, so you might smell a bit of cows. But that was also a nice touch and we enjoyed it. 😊

Tokiwaso's large public bath has a sauna and even an open-air bath.
Sauna lovers will love the well-water cold bath.
We recommend checking in early and enjoying Tokiwaso! ♪

The lobby also stocks "Yoguruppe" from Miyakonojo City, Miyazaki Prefecture, as well as snacks and ice cream, a thoughtful touch.

You can also borrow books, including "Oshi no Ko," which features Kagoshima and Miyazaki.

◾️Room
We stayed in a room with an open-air bath.

It was just as I expected, a Japanese-style room, and it was fantastic. The bedroom is separate, too.
It was incredibly spacious and wonderful. 😊

It also had a terrace, which I thought was a great space to relax in after a bath.

I stayed in the winter, and it was so cold in the open-air bath that I couldn't get out. 😂
Just a word of caution. 😆
However, I was surprised that the bathwater didn't cool down at all, even during the cold winter months!

I recommend checking in early so you can enjoy the bath at your leisure! 😆
We arrived in Miyazaki Prefecture a little before noon and stayed at Takachiho Tokiwaso, so we regret arriving late. 🥲

◾️Bath
The large communal bath has an open-air bath and sauna.
A well-water cold bath and sauna hats are available for rental, perfect for sauna lovers.

The lotion provided is also "Aqua Label," which really shows how much they understand women's feelings, and it really got me excited. 😊

◾️Meals
I only had breakfast without dinner.
I heard they serve delicious Miyazaki beef in the evening, so next time I'll definitely book dinner.

Breakfast is served in a private room.
The meals are hearty and delicious!

It may be a winter menu, but we had "oden" for breakfast. It was well-seasoned and delicious.

◾️Other
The staff were friendly and I had a very pleasant stay.
Your consideration was very kind and is one of the reasons I want to visit again.

Thank you so much.
I will definitely stay here again!

My girlfriend and I stayed here as a couple.
It was in a quiet location and the clientele was of a moderate demographic, so we had a very relaxing time.
We booked a room-only stay, but were still very satisfied.
The room was spacious, and we were immersed in the lovely smell of incense.
It was a great trip.
I would definitely stay here again

The other day, I stayed at Tokiwaso while hanging out with a friend.
I was really impressed by the high quality of the food served, but it was a shame that I couldn't use the open-air bath.

I'd like to go again if I have the opportunity.
Thank you very much.

A full ryokan with onsen and futon beds. Food provided as Half-board was excellent and abundant . A wonderful experience. The staff were extremely helpful.

There are popsicles and a free brink bar. The location is great. Worth staying.

I had a quiet time
The food was also very delicious.

The building was old, but the food was good.
