Solest Takachiho Hotel

Top choice in Kyūshū


Crisp, comfy and contemporary, this stylish new hotel sits behind a black-box facade. Most of its 68 rooms are Western style (twin-bed rooms are significantly larger than doubles and have separate bathing and toilet areas), and all have rain showers and decent-size bathtubs.

It's worth a splurge on the spacious, spotless Japanese-Western combo rooms (doubles from ¥48,920), with private patio space and platform beds atop tatami-mat flooring. Stay in one of these and your dinner will be delivered to your room.
