Top Hotels in Miyoshi with Spas

1. Location. The location of the hotel is relatively easy to find. It is only a 20-minute walk from Dabuwei Station. You can also take a bus outside the station, but be aware that the bus intervals are long, so be sure to check the time. Of course, you can also contact the hotel in advance and pick you up at the station. The hotel has several ********* staff, which is much more convenient. 2. Meals. All I can say is that this is a taste of local cuisine. There is still a long way to go before you are full...😄...but the taste is still good... 3. The scenery is quite good... I think Iya Bridge is just average, it is just a vine bridge, allowing me to be worldly... On the contrary, I feel that if I walk along the hotel in the direction of the Kenzan Oboke sign, I will have a panoramic view of the scenery. ...Green mountains and green waters, water birds...rocks...natural harmony, blending into it will be very comfortable... 4. Take a boat ride. It only takes 30 minutes to go back and forth. Well, the experience is average...it varies from person to person... I hope it can help friends who are interested. In addition, many local stores have ********* employees, which is very convenient.

We stayed for 2 nights at Hotel Iyaonsen, and were impressed by the level of service, the food offerings, the condition of the room and especially the Onsen (natural hot springs) quality down in the valley (more on that in a moment.) We were already expecting it to be remotely situated with incredible valley/mountain views, and on that (and all other) fronts, our hopes and expectations were more than met. As other reviewers have already noted, the drive to Hotel Iyaonsen - while not exactly a harrowing experience - is one that requires alertness... the road is barely wide enough for one vehicle, and if you spot a car approaching from the opposite direction, one of the drivers will have to back up to an area where there's sufficient width in the road for both cars to slide past one another. It's also very twisty - so much so, that it's really not practical to be barreling down the mountain pass in any case. Thankfully, there are mirrors placed at the corners of each sharp turn so that drivers are able to see oncoming traffic ahead of time. In my mind, this added to the charm of being somewhere so remote, even if it's a bit of a hassle to get there. We stayed in a room called ”Tamayura” (Room #505, to be exact), which is the top room at the property. It's a corner room located on the top floor, and has an open-air outdoor Onsen bath to boot. Measuring 47m², it pales in comparison to highest category rooms at other ryokans we've stayed at, but the layout made it feel more spacious than its measurements would suggest. Tamayura had a living room, a smaller area where you can enjoy the Valley view, and a separate sleeping area.... none of them were segregated by walls, which added to the airy feel but might bother some guests accustomed to having distinctly separate living/sleeping areas. While it's Japanese in design and decor, it was more modern than traditional. The room had an earthly tone and allowed an abundance of natural light to enter, making it seem fresh and new. The Onsen and shower were located on the deck, and exposed to the elements. Now, I am used to having an open-air Onsen bath (in fact, in most cases I prefer it), but also having to shower outside (before getting into the Onsen) could be painful if it was in the dead of winter. The other drawback has to do with the in-room Onsen itself - it's not of the free-flowing variety; you have to fill it up from scratch each time you bathe. While it probably takes no more than 20 minutes for the bath to fill up, you might spend a bit more time regulating the temperature (by turning either the cold or hot water tap) until it's just right for you. Thankfully, this is made up by the awesome Onsen down in the valley. There is a cable car that shuttles (paying) guests to and from the bottom of the Valley, where there are separate men/women communal Onsen baths. There are also baths that you can rent privately (at extra cost.) All of them were amazing - the hot springs were soft, supple, slippery

Overall, because the person in charge is absent, only half-way correspondence can be done in any correspondence. The front desk of check-in is absent and calls by bell. I booked an annex, but I took over the elevator ２ times and arrived in the room. On the way, the corridor is abnormally moldy. Decent cleaning and maintenance are not possible. The room seemed to be clean at first glance, but the tile carpet on the floor of the room was moldy. There is no air cleaner. The annex is a poor content that the wifi is not connected. I went to the public bath, but it was a feeling that the guests were able to use the hot water facilities of the foreign guests, and it was not a public bath in the hotel. Cosmetics were closed in the room and in the public bath. There is no place to relax after bathing. You can imagine public bath. The automatic entrance door to the public bath is broken, but it seems that it is not willing to repair. Only the quality of the spring is great, so it is really a pity. Dinner is also a party dish like amateur dish. Ayu sashimi is only ２ cut. Only white rice was delicious in a way to cook with individual Kama. Breakfast is also poor content, which doesn't seem to be a hotel. There is no person in charge of the waiter here, and only the trainee who cannot even replenish even if the cup is lost is placed. Even when checking out, the front desk is absent. You have to call it by bell. About, there is no hospitality spirit, cleaning and maintenance. It is better to specialize in day bathing.

Although I was the only client on this day, the aunt was still very enthusiastic. She slept in a large tatami room alone. The aunt also delivered small snacks and tea. The shops here closed early, maybe because there were too few tourists. , I took a break and went out to search for food. As a result, there was no restaurant. Friends who went there would still make an appointment for dinner and breakfast. Otherwise, they would really not be able to buy anything. They would only open after 9 o’clock in the morning, but I like this quiet little In the countryside, there is a camping platform nearby. It takes about half an hour to walk by. It is more suitable for self-driving. I only transited here to go to Jianshan the next day.

Wonderful backpacker place in a renovated former sushi restaurant. Great infrastructure, very friendly management, some of them speak English. The restaurant is full of little details, western cooking, and they serve an interesting choice of craft beers and wine. It is located very close to the train station in a covered shopping street

The room was large and well appointed. You sleep on futons on the floor. There is also a bath and a toilet, which is unusual for onsen. There is an internal onsen bath on the 3rd floor but what makes this place unusual is that there is an outdoor bath up the hill where you take a mini funicular to reach the location. We had a Kaiseke dinner in the hotel where they feature local ingredients like tofu, potato and fish. To be honest, some of the dishes are an acquired taste but they were exquisitely presented and dinner staff were good. The wagyu beef was especially tasty. Staff are friendly and most can converse in English, which is a plus. The young female owner also has a good voice and sang a lovely song during dinner. The organized a short 20 minute tour after dinner to the vine bridge nearby though it was too dark to see much and the bridge was closed. But it was interesting riding the old school bus. Wifi is unfortunately weak and the Ipad was not able to log in at all. Wifi did not work for my Iphone in the dining room and only worked in the lobby and the bedroom. There is a souvenir store in the lobby area where you can buy local produce like snacks, apparel and ice cream.

Stopped here prior to touring the Iya Valley. It's in close proximity to transit. Awesome time here at this older, traditional Ryokan. From the bath, to the amazing food, and the owner is the sweetest woman you'll meet. I would definitely go here again if in the area . You will feel taken care of
