Aoshima Grand Hotel

I got the private onsen Japanese style room. It was the most pricey option, and was a little dusty, but it had an amazing view and was spacious.They provided a total of 4 sets of futons, and came to set them up for me every evening. I was personally a little creeped out by the (harmless and common) bloodworm larvae in the private onsen, but it didn't take away much from the amazing experience of soaking in the onsen with the view of the Pacific ocean and Aoshima Island (also you can set the temperature of the Onsen to your liking by mixing the hot and cold spring water) The service in the hotel is good! The staff are helpful and tidy up the rooms very well, even refilling my room's ice cold and hot water jugs and all toiletries daily. I don't understand what the others were saying about the basement onsen being musky and mouldy, because it looked and felt really clean and comfortable, I think it must have been recently renovated, from how new and clean it looked! The rooftop onsen was as good as the reviews say they are :) The hotel is located in Aoshima, which is located in between the city area and the southern towns of Miyazaki (such as Nichinan, where you can see the beautiful Udo Jingo shrine), it's about an hour's journey via public transport, but travelling around the area will be much more convenient by car. There are many food options nearby, but as mentioned, only a few will be open past 8pm! Overall, the private onsen room is a great experience for the cost, and if I have a chance, I'd book the same room again!

青島バス停から浜辺へ出て海を眺めながら10分ほどのホテルです。駅はもうちょいかかりました。 コンビニは近くにはありませんが、青島の入り口付近で飲み物や食べ物が買えるので、かき氷やポテトを買い浜辺でまったりできて楽しめる。 ホテルは古いですが、展望風呂が最高。空の下で海を眺めながらの温泉はかなり良かった。泉質も良し。 シービューの部屋からも海が見えるし、浜辺に直ぐ出られるので朝夕ボーっとしに行けて海を満喫できた。 朝食バイキングにあるカレーが本格的で特に美味しかったな。 写真は青島一周しながら撮ったもの。左側が青島グランドホテル。

可步行至青島神社，check out之後把車泊在酒店，再步行至青島神社，節省泊車開支
