Find 2-Star Hotels in Takachiho

Friendly staff and clean lodging. We booked half board which was worthwhile as the food quality was great and especially when restaurants close early within the area, saved us looking for dinner. However, there are a few time slots we need to abide to, which is fine as attractions usually are closed by late afternoon anyway. There is onsen in this accommodation, but it's not big. Enclosed onsen with no external views, and the water has some medical component added thus making the water reddish which may deter guests not accustomed to the color. The Ryokan location is convenient for walking to a few attractions (for those who enjoy walking about 15-30mins to either attraction), which include Takachiho Kagura performance (pre-booking required), Takachiho Gorge, Takachiho Amaterasu Railway - scenic train ride. Do note the train rides cannot be pre-booked, and end by 3PM in the afternoon. And Takachiho Gorge Boat Rental should be pre-booked, with time slot bookings open 7 days before.

The location is excellent, very close to the Takashimori Gorge attractions, and parking is good. The service staff was very kind and let us borrow the kitchen microwave to heat the food bought at the supermarket. Japanese breakfast is also good. But the room is not soundproof, the switch cabinet and the children are noisy, the room has no kettle, the hot water is required to go to the counter, it is quite inconvenient, in addition, it is very comfortable.

The hotel is far from the main tourist and transport destinations. In 30 minutes, I walked to both the bus station and Takachiho Shrine. It's difficult to do that in the rain. But this is overlapped by the hotel owner who took me to the Kunimigaoka 🤩 observation deck at 6 a.m. And she also volunteered and took her suitcase to the bus station after my eviction 🥰. I haven't met the sweet hostess of the hotel. I recommend experiencing this experience of living on the tatami mat and sleeping on a futon.

My husband and I are driving a car in Kitakyushu. There are not many hotels in Takachiho. I think this one is good. It is hygienic and there is no problem with transportation. Since we are driving by ourselves, I don’t know what else is going on. Anyway, there is free parking and a private bathroom/toilet. It is very comfortable except for taking a bath. The soundproofing is not very good, but everything else is OK. There is also free breakfast, although there are not many things, which can meet basic needs.
