서쪽 역 × 만족도 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

For the past ten years or so, my wife and I have been traveling all over Japan by car. This time, taking advantage of Silver Week, we were planning a trip to Kyushu and realized that in the southwestern part of Kyushu we had only visited Koshikijima with our children a long time ago. When I searched on IKYU, I found Villa Hikaruze. We were contacted to confirm our arrival time, and I wondered why at first, but when we arrived at Hikaruze, the Onsen bath had been filled in time for our arrival. It was two days of wonderful hospitality—perfect for seniors like us. Recently we’ve enjoyed visiting remote islands such as Goto, Iki, Rebun, and Rishiri, but Hikaruze’s location was even better. The weather was great, and we could see as far as the Amakusa islands in the distance. As for what this old couple looks forward to most—meals—the sashimi and meat were the best we’ve ever had. Since we don’t have much time left at our age, we’re looking forward to returning soon with our children. Thank you very much.

I stayed in a Twin Room. As is common with newer, stylish hotel rooms, it took me a little time to figure out where the light switches were and where the Wi-Fi information was placed upon entering the room. The design of the room was interesting, featuring a counter-style sink area. By closing the sliding door, you could separate the sink area from the rest of the room. Behind this sliding door, there was also a desk and refrigerator hidden away. The books placed on top of the desk seemed more like decorations than for reading. However, it might be better if they were positioned in an easier-to-reach spot for guests who want to read them. Although I believe this falls under the category of a Business Hotel, it was overall stylish and clean. I would love to stay here again when visiting Kawauchi.

You’re good at avoiding the breakfast rush by adjusting your dining time.

Overall, we were satisfied. The welcome drink service was excellent, and you can also bring your own snacks to enjoy with it. The room was set up like bunk beds, which our child loved. However, we did notice a slight odor in the room.

This Accommodation is surrounded by nature, very clean, and offers attentive service. The backyard is set up for camping, and the Facilities felt well equipped. We took walks around the neighborhood in the morning and evening, and there were hardly any people. The birdsong and the scent of spring made it a soothing time—my elderly mother felt the same way. The staff were also very pleasant, so we had a comfortable trip.

As a container house, the Room isn’t very spacious, but it’s more than enough if you just need a place to sleep. It was clean and comfortable to stay in. It’s convenient that you can park in the parking lot and enter the Room right away. Each Room is separate, so there’s no noise from neighbors. I’d like to stay here again if I have the chance.

Conveniently located within walking distance from Kawauchi Station and close to the lively bar district!

As the shower is shared, it’s reasonable for the price. The view from the window was nice as well, so I had a pleasant stay. There was also a convenience store within walking distance, so the location is good enough. The only downside is that the place is a bit hard to find.

I was initially confused about entering the number, but once I got used to it, it didn't bother me at all. Just make sure not to accidentally delete the email from the accommodation, and there should be no issues.
