Mt. Resort Unzen Kyushu Hotel

I visited again for the first time in six years. It was during the hot season in July, but as expected, Unzen Onsen at this higher elevation was about 3–4°C cooler than down below. I enjoyed the wonderful scenery and Onsen for three days as always, and the Japanese-Western fusion meals were truly delicious; even the tableware matched each dish beautifully and added to the experience. I was disappointed that the French toast I loved at breakfast before was no longer available, but that was more than made up for by the satisfying meals focused on locally sourced ingredients. I also appreciated the warm, unpretentious hospitality from all of the staff. It’s such a lovely Hotel that you find yourself planning your next visit on the way home.

This Hotel is perfect in every way—from the Room size and hospitality to all services and cleanliness. It was the best Hotel I have ever stayed at. I felt the price could easily be twice as high. Above all, it was calm and relaxing, with only Japanese adults staying there, which helped me truly unwind. I would love to visit again.
