National Lodge Marine Terrace Ashiya

The stunning setting created by the sea and sunset, the delicious dinner, and the relaxing bath were truly soothing for both body and mind. I rested comfortably in a clean Room and bedding, and everything—from the complimentary late-night ochazuke to the Japanese-style breakfast buffet—was very satisfying. Being able to enjoy such attentive service at a reasonable price, I was genuinely delighted by hospitality that exceeded expectations. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

I knew about this place because it’s close to my family home in Kitakyushu, but this was my first stay. It has an outstanding location with views of the Genkai Sea and the mouth of the Onga River, and I was lucky to get a window seat at the restaurant and fully enjoy the scenery. The food was very satisfying in both quality and portion size. For those who have room, there was also a late-night ochazuke service. Everyone at the front desk and in the restaurant was kind and helpful. Nearby hotels have switched to all-inclusive plans, but I prefer to take my time and enjoy a kaiseki dinner. I would like to visit again.
