โรงแรมอาโอชิมะ แกรนด์

Top Location very friendly staff very happy with the stay - great rooms and onsen

Excellent service from all the staff, like a home away from home. This was my 2nd visit and i am looking forward to my 3rd visit in the future.

I love the location, everyday I wake up from a beautiful sunrise right at my windows. And the beach right in front of it. You can see the early bird surfers already head at catching the waves. Walking distance to the Aoshima Temple and the Botanical garden. Free parking at the front of the hotel and you definitely want to rent a car. The train and bus service in Miyazaki is subpar. Basically no matter where you are going to stay. You will need a car to go somewhere. Part of the reason Miyazaki still maintained its natural beauty. Well, if you happened to have a bad weather that day and really don't have a car. Get the dinner reserve for that day. I learnt my hard lesson. They have restaurant service but reservation only and no exception. The restaurants in the area are not exactly follow what Google maps post says. So, good luck. 🍀 Just call before you head out. And 7-11 and Lawson are closeby about 10-15 mins walks. That's why rent a car it worths the trouble. The hotel itself is a bit dated, but with a nice retro charm to it and I love the rooftop onsen. It is awesome in the morning time when the weather is permitted. The staff are nice but I feel that they are a bit play by the book a bit too much. If they can lax the rules a little, I could have better experience. Not that I didn't. Just would be more comfortable.
