사에키역 × 만족도 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

I stayed here for a hike on Onyujima Island and to visit the Nokasayama war ruins. It was a very well-located Hotel, close to Saiki Station and the highway bus stop from Oita Airport. The ferry terminal for Onyujima Island is also about a 10-minute walk away, which was very convenient. Leaflets for nearby restaurants were available in the Hotel lobby, and the recommended place “Toritomi” had amazing chicken tataki. This time I didn’t have enough time to sightsee around Saiki Castle, so I’d like to visit Saiki again. I’ll stay here again next time.

I stayed for six days and had breakfast, but I would have liked butter and jam to go with the bread. Also, the menu on the final day (day 6) felt limited. (I was satisfied with the first five days.)

A new, beautiful, and very clean Hotel. The front desk and staff are efficient and pleasant. There is no bathtub in the Room—only a shower. This is a popular style these days, and personally I support it. As Japanese travelers are getting older, there are many cases of people falling asleep in the tub, so I often hear from Hotel staff that showers are best for preventing accidents. Also, I’ve heard that some international visitors may overflow the bathtub as well. That said, I would like to see a large public bath added as an alternative. In Beppu City, with so many public baths around town, it’s not essential—but in Miyazaki City it’s an area where you have to go as far as Seagaia or Shintomi Town to enjoy a natural Onsen. The free onigiri breakfast set is also very delicious, and I will definitely become a repeat guest—but I really hope for a large public bath.

It’s probably an old Hotel, but the Room was clean and comfortable to stay in. At checkout, I accidentally left the key in the Room, but the staff kindly helped me—thank you!! Being able to take a morning walk to the castle ruins also became a great travel memory.
