Yamatoya Ryokan
It’s not a bad place! It’s just that for me with my osteoarthritic knee condition, this place is quite inconvenient!
Our room on the second level was old and a little musty! It’s right next to the road and the traffic noises were quite loud towards the latter part of the evening! Plus the paper screen windows is translucent so sleep at night is difficult as there’s no way to darken the light!
The hot bath room is on the fourth level; assessible only by climbing up 14 extremely steep steps! There’s not much grip for the rails as they were part of the structural beams and rather thick! And the timing of this hot bath is rather unusual! It only opens from 5pm till 10:30pm daily! The rest of the time we have to use the high bathtub inside our small toilet for shower! And hot water there is only turned on at 7:00am! No way can we shower earlier than that...making it very inconvenient!
Breakfast was quite good and we’re healthy local selections! This is served at the hall at level one. There’s even a coffee machine we can help ourselves to!
The ryokan is about a ten minute walk towards the Takachiho Shrine which is highly recommended! Visit at night (8:00pm till 9:00pm) for an introductory dance program to the YoKagura Mask dancers! During the day, the 1800 years old shrine is a calm and peaceful place of worship set in an ancient cider grove!
This ryokan is about an eight minute walk to the main bus terminal.
Location is good with local market, famous Miyazaki beef restaurant, convenience store and other eateries all within easy access by foot. Staff speaks English and free parking conveniently around the corner. Although we booked a non smoking room, the smoking spot is just outside our room so this is a big turn off for non smokers like us. For light sleeper, to note that there is no blind and the street traffic is rather audible too.
Staff are the most sincere and helpful i have met while visiting Japan. Tbey are very mindful of the guest request, my sister request for a seat during dinner instead od sitting on tatami floor. The next morning breakfast they make sure that one seat is placed at the table reserved for our breakfast. Excellent service!

Great location and I love staying in tatami rooms. Bath is not very good. Hallways smells strong of tobacco smoke. Felt too expensive for what you got.
