Best Hotels near The Haradas＇ Cherry Blossoms, Gokase

I stayed here to visit Takachiho gorge, which I wanted to go to for the first time on my first trip with him in the spring of 2016. Reasonable and good location, I was going to make a reservation alone, but it was a very memorable trip with the pleasant response of the staff from the time of reservation to the check-out. I remember the night Kagura and the way to night Kagura, and I used a taxi for the rest of the time, but I am satisfied that everything is smooth in the easy to access location. The breakfast was at the end of the breakfast, but the staff was told to be slow without a disgusting face, and both of them remained in memory. I was going to leave the review immediately after my stay, but it was a little earlier experience, but I thought it would be a reference and posted it. After that, he married him and Miyazaki is still a place for two people to remember, including this one.

As Takachiho Gorge is comparatively hard to get to we felt much better staying in Takachiho for a night. And it's great to find a modern hotel in Takachiho, the front desk was nice and helpful, note that it is such a small town and dining options are not a lot so I would recommend have dinner and breakfast at the hotel. Hotel has a large parking lot and breakfast is great (a bit wait in the morning during peak time)

When we close our eyes and imagine the quintessential Japanese luxury ryokan, Takachiho Ryokan Shinsen is among the first properties that springs to our mind. It represents everything awesome about the best ryokans with almost zero drawbacks, and we departed from Shinsen awestruck at how perfect every aspect of our stay was. From the incredible Omotenashi service, gorgeous gardens, architectural elegance, spacious and beautiful villa room, mind-blowing kaiseki cuisine to the terrific private open-air Onsen bath, everything about Shinsen emphatically screams ”destination ryokan.” Shinsen is a family-owned property with a total of just 15 rooms among 3 separate areas: the Honkan (main), Bekkan and Hanare. They are within 1-minute walking distance form one another, and each area has its own unique character - the landscaping is fascinating, as well as the various private dining rooms that are in each building. For instance, in front of the Honkan main entrance is a dry rock garden that is reminiscent of the famed Ryoan-ji in Kyoto, while in the Bekkan it has that plus a variety of perfectly manicured vegetation as well as a small, red-painted traditional-style bridge. The private dining rooms each have its own character as well as views out of the window; we especially loved the view from one of the Bekkan ”Ko****su” rooms during our dinner on the second evening - the window faces the garden, which is lit up from the ground, resulting in a mesmerizing view of the rock garden patterns, mysterious trees and the pretty red bridge. For every meal (whether it's for breakfast or dinner), they escorted us from our room to a different private dining room located in various locations throughout the property. We spent all 3 nights in a room called ”Manyo,” a detached villa that was located in the Hanare section of Shinsen. Ms. Kumi Sato, the charming and elegant ”Okami-san” (Proprietress) mentioned that Manyo is the best room at the property. It's a generous 100m² in size, and thoroughly modern with all of the creature comforts that one would expect at a top-flight luxury hotel. Manyo's room consisted of a bedroom with two double Western-style beds, a living room with a sofa, coffee table and a large, flat-screen television, and a Japanese-style tatami room as well. It's an open floor plan, although each section of the room can be closed off by sliding the walls shut for privacy (or peace and quiet.) Very versatile! The Villa had a large patio with a beautiful zen-style rock garden beyond it. Off to the side is an outdoor, free-flowing Onsen (hot springs) bath made of Hinoki wood. Next to the Onsen (and inside the Villa) is the vanity, toilet and indoor (regular) bath and shower. The layout of the Villa, as well as the furnishings and decor was all top-notch - the perfect setting to have a lengthy, relaxing stay in the Villa should you opt not to explore the Takachiho area. If there is one minor nitpick, it has to do with the lack of dual sinks,

The farm house is very special. They are like small mushrooms, colorful, and the scenery in the mountains is also good. The farm is very large. You can take a free bus to your room to stay in the hotel and you can soak in the volcano hot springs for free. The farm has many activities, but the guests are very very Less, so most of them are closed. Breakfast and dinner at the hotel. Local buffet horse sashimi is good. But the general feeling is general, the first price is expensive, the price is low, and the second transportation is extremely inconvenient. From Beppu in the past, you must first take JR to Aso, then take a bus, and then change a taxi to reach. The third room has average facilities and there is no Wi-Fi in the room. It is generally not recommended to book this accommodation. Now Aso volcano has been erupting, so it is not possible to enter the volcano, so it is recommended that you do not have to visit here recently.

I stayed in a Japanese style room. It's a really nostalgic national lodging house with a tatami desk, TV, and tea chest. You'll have to lay out your own futon, which is probably a good thing because unlike inns, you can't enter your room without permission. It had just stopped raining and I could see a rainbow from the terrace. Takachiho is a short walk from Takachiho Shrine, where you can enjoy Kagura at night, and you can also rent cushions. Women will be happy to have individually packaged facial cleansers and cosmetics. We also enjoyed local cuisine such as comparing the tastes of Takachiho beef. This hotel is convenient for sightseeing in Takachiho Gorge.

If the location is not a self-driving tour, you don’t need to consider it. Except for the service quality of the proprietress, the others are very average. The restrooms and bathrooms are shared in the surrounding wilderness and the price is not low.

On April 11, 2022, I had lunch in Kowloon. From there, drive to Sherpa in Kumamoto City to finish your shopping, then drive along Prefectural Route 36. Climb the outer rim of Mt. Aso. Arrive at the observatory (Mt. Omine and Takayubaru plateau). You can overlook the city of Kumamoto from here. This observatory is called ``Mt. Arrive at Hotel Greenpia Minami Aso where you will stay on this day. The parking lot is very large. Hotel Greenpia Minamiaso is a hotel located in Hisaishi, Minamiaso Village, Aso County, Kumamoto Prefecture. A bronze statue stood at the entrance. The inside of the building looks like this. The lobby is large. On this day, I was in a room on the 3rd floor and moved by elevator. After getting off the elevator, it's too far to the room (sweat;) Large hotels don't like this. far. It's a promised ”grandmother who can't open the key” twin room, and an extra bed is also installed. The scenery from the window is like this. Of all the rooms we stayed in, it has one of the best views (bitter smile) refrigerator. TV and kettle. Safe in the closet. Wash basin. The toilet has a warm water seat. I probably won't use it because I'm going to the public bath, but there is also a bathtub. It is troublesome that wifi has to register an e-mail address with ”Kumamoto free wifi”. I was able to connect at 35 Mbps here within the Rakuten Mobile range. The best bath is the open-air bath where you can enjoy this view. The quality of the spring was colorless and transparent, and it did not look like a hot spring. Dinner is at the restaurant. There was a lot more than I thought in the Viking format. However, since it was the cheapest course, it became a ”buffet without a main dish” (sweat;) Tsure was mainly curry rice. The dessert made me hungry (laughs). The next morning, there was already a line at the breakfast venue. Breakfast is also buffet style. My grandmother is even more voluminous than I am (laughs), and the second time is Western food (laughs). Overnight at Hotel Greenpia Minami Aso. I could see the volcanic smoke of Mt. Nakadake from my room. It's 6:00, so I head to the dinner hall. On this day, I tried curry rice as the main dish. Grandmother made soba the main dish. The next morning we checked out and drove on. Hotel Greenpia Minamiaso 4411-9 Hisaishi, Minamiaso Village, Aso County, Kumamoto Prefecture 0967-67-2131

Reception: On the day of check-in, the cold current was attacked, and the weather was particularly cold, but when I arrived at the hotel, I saw the host standing at the door to greet me, and even helped guide the parking with the cold wind. The whole was deeply moved. Breakfast & dinner: I don't know if this is the legendary ”Japanese Kaiseki” cuisine? As far as I am a foreigner, it must be! The glutinous rice is matched with seasonal/local handmade side dishes, non-staple food, etc., colorful and delicious feasts, Every dish feels the intention of the host's preparation, and the content is introduced one by one when serving, which is a very special feeling. Soaking: although the wooden bath is not big, but there is a kind of quaint beauty, the environment is clean and tidy, the only fly in the ointment is that the face paper, moisturizing products, etc. on the dressing table of the female soup have long been used, but not replenished in time, there are no other shortcomings; After soaking in the hot spring back to the room, I was surprised to find that the host carefully prepared red bean soup, not only warm the stomach but also warm the heart. Overall: If you go to Tianyanhu, it is recommended to stay here for one night. Not only the location is good, you can see the Tianyanhu Shrine when you open the window. You can also stroll to Tiananheyuan early in the morning to fully enjoy the special local scenery. In addition, the hotel's intimate service and delicious meals, It is definitely a different experience from Western restaurants.
