Miyazaki Lions Hotel

I stay here every time I’m in Miyazaki on business. This time, I also enjoyed a delicious breakfast. It was great to see the lady in the dining room again after a long time—she looked well.

Visited Miyazaki for 2 nights and 3 days to watch the J-League training camp. I chose this place because of the "Onsen in the large public bath" and its proximity to restaurants I wanted to visit. Perhaps due to fewer female guests in this area, I had the Onsen all to myself for two days, which was incredibly relaxing. The water temperature was just right, allowing me to soak for a long time, relieving my fatigue and leaving my skin smooth. I only had breakfast on the first morning. On that day, local specialties like cold soup (Hiyajiru) and charcoal-grilled chicken were available. All dishes had a homemade feel and were delicious—especially the curry with plenty of meat and mushrooms! I ended up eating too much and skipped lunch because I wasn’t hungry (laughs). Here are some minor points that caught my attention: - It would be nice if the pillow position was reversed so I could place my smartphone by my bedside. - The lighting next to the mirror wasn’t bright enough due to its shade, making it hard for makeup application. - While it’s understandable there’s no plug in the bathtub since there’s an Onsen, not having one at the sink made washing my face inconvenient. - The air conditioner was noisy, making it hard for me to fall asleep quickly. - There were no tea bags provided in-room; also, most drinks at breakfast were cold despite it being winter—hot options would have been appreciated!
