Tsunoshima Island, Shimonoseki hotel rooms at the Independent

"Amazing retreat time at Hoshino KAI Nagato. There are programs / activities provided that are light and with small memento takeaway. The dinner and breakfast experiences were phenomenon. Staff are very friendly and capable answering anything. The onsen on-site is healing and the space is very relaxing and clean. A real retreat where mind and body and truly relax."

"I'd never stayed in a ryokan before, but have always heard what it was like. I can confidently say, after being in this one, that ryokans are an exceptional place to relax. The traditional rooms are spacious, has a great views, and sleeping in a futon on tatami is a classic for a reason! The amenities are very nice too, with two whole building's worth of stuff! A public bath, karaoke, arcade, bowling, an izakaya, etc. Probably the only thing I would like is wifi in the room (it's only otherwise found in the lobby). But other than that, a wonderful experience I am glad to have had!"

"Japanese trad room with lovely staff and retro restaurant Lovely experience "

"Worth every cent we paid as it had two large beds and plenty of room to move around. The small breakfast was good to start the day of and the free parking was close by."

"What a great refreshing spot to find during a hot and busy trip. The owners go over the top to ensure your stay is everything you hope. I can’t say enough good things about them. Thank you "
