By far the crown jewelry of our honeymoon stays. Thowe the cost may give you hart burn the expense I would not trade for 2x the cost. It was the most spiritual stop on our trip, i felt like a royalty wail there. They have everything you need and they are located close to many cool attractions.

You will be treated and served like a king. Ladies can choose your favourite colorful kimono and they will service you to wear it on in your room. A well-prepared Kaiseki dinner we’ve never experienced before. It’s really value for money :)

The staff were extremely attentive and helpful. They took care to adjust the kaiseki meals to the tastes of our 9 yo daughter. When we arrived well before check-in, they collected our luggage from the bus station and drove us down to the gorge. After a delicious meal, the drove us to and from the Kagura. Everything about the stay was wonderful.

They treat you like a king! They have amazing breakfast and dinner ceremonies : each dish is a masterpiece of culinary art ( and there are like 9-10 courses consisting of small appetizer size dishes) Food is delicious and very healthy but still filling and is served in style - beautiful plates, each dish design is carefully arranged on the plate to create esthetic appeal You live in a tradition setting little house with your own private zen garden, hot tub on the back patio, Inside the house spacious rooms looks like Japanese history museum and there is 2 options - you can sleep on the mattress traditional style or on the bed - both very comfortable There is a bathroom and restroom inside and another restroom in a small structure right outside of the patio in the back just in case Staff is very helpful in terms of guidance where to go in the area for more attractions besides Takashiho gorge ( which is 25 min walk from the hotel) - and they can arrange taxi to mount Aso, taxi to view sunrise over the mountains and taxi to view rice fields - all unforgettable experience and photo opportunities And obviously the gorge itself located close by is amazing especially boat ride So to summarize- even though it takes 3 hours by bus to get there from Fukuoka to see the Takashiho gorge it is this kind of special hotel experience that makes it worthwhile because it creates a harmony between enjoying nature and enjoying unique hotel amenities

Amazing.
The hotel staff were very accommodating and friendly. The food was spectacular. Everything about this stay was awesome. I would go back, and although it was expensive, it was well worth the money (10 course dinner and ~6 course breakfast included). We were able to get by okay with English which was nice. There was a private outdoor hot tub and indoor shower that connected to the outside. Nice little Japanese garden in our backyard of our room. We went to the Shrine in the evening and they dressed us up in Yukata's to attend. This was very fun.

Nice try
The staff was wonderful, the food excellent, but the room was a disappointment. It was kind of a cross between a log cabin and Trader Vic’s. There were two tree trunks used as part of a room divider, and a faux skylight above the middle of the room. Quite odd. Couldn’t justify the expense even as a splurge.

とても心地よいおもてなしでした。ありがとうございます。夕食、朝食はもちろん、室内のしつらえもさすが神仙ですね。雨が降っていたので、高級車での神楽への送迎もとっても助かりました。他のお客様と接することはなく、コロナ対策も完璧と言えます。安心して、滞在できました。ホテルでもっとゆっくりしたかったのですが、高千穂で遊びたいこともたくさんあり、ぎりぎりに入り、さっさと出かけるみたいなことに。今度はゆっくり滞在したいです。

至るところに気遣いがあり、ゆっくりできました。離れの露天風呂も人工温泉ながら思ったより良かった。風邪を引いてしまい、ホコリっぽいと咳がでる状態でしたが、部屋の空気がきれいなのか、さほど苦しい思いもせず助かりました。機会があればまた泊まりたいと思える数少ない宿の1つとなりました。

非日常を体験出来るホテル
がまだせ市場すぐにある高級旅館。宿泊したのは10年くらい前に増設された離れでしたが、夫婦二人で完全個室、部屋は広く、室内露天風呂も入りたい放題でした。風呂に入っては縁側で涼みながらビール、静か夜空も贅沢でした。高千穂神社までは近いですが、夜神楽では送り迎えに座布団、靴入れつきのいたせりつくせりでした。

いい時間を過ごせました
従業員の方々がとても親切でした。 お食事もボリュームもあり、尚且つおいしくて大満足です。朝ごはんも温かいものはちゃんと温かい状態で提供され、「全体を一度に調理しましたー」というよくある旅館の朝ごはんとは大違いでした。 高千穂峡へも歩いて行けました。坂道なので年配の方はタクシーがいいのかもしれませんが、60後半の母は一緒に歩いて往復しました。 とてもいい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。
