Hagi Kanko Hotel

For a peak into some Japanese culture, this was excellent. We opted for half board & the food was very good. It was interesting to experience so many dishes & the way in which they serve them, all whilst taking in the amazing views from the restaurant. The Onsen also has incredible views & sitting in the outside bath watching the black kites circle overhead is worth it alone. The Japanese style rooms were lovely to see & experience but we found the mat type beds too hard/uncomfortable for us. It wouldn't put me off doing it again though for the overall experience. It is outside of the town but such an amazing spot & there is a free shuttle bus morning & afternoon into the centre. Finally all of the staff were fantastic - friendly, helpful, on hand at all times.

The food was to die for (literally), as we were served a kaiseki of different seasonal foods, including an assortment of pufferfish which was very, very delicious. The room was very spacious and tidy with great views of the mountains, sea, and local docks below. Yukata's are provided free of charge. This hotel was one of the most memorable highlights of our trip! We only stayed for a day, but we'll definitely be back to visit again. The staff were cordial and helpful, and the view of the starry night sky from the onsen was wonderful. Transport can be arranged to pick you up from the nearest bus stop, so don't let not having a car stop you from visiting.

We loved EVERYTHING about this hotel. The staff are lovely, the meals are wonderful, the onsen is just amazing with its sensational views. The room facilities may be a little dated but they in no way detract from the stay. It's a fabulous place to stay in Hagi. They even put a "woman" sign (just for me) at the entrance to the onsen as I was the only non-Japanese female staying so I would know which entrance to use.

Beautiful hotel with scenic view out from bedroom windows Very helpful staff Excellent breakfast and dinner Clean room and comfortable futon

Nice hotel on a hill outside the centre. The staff were very helpful, the food was amazing and the view was spectacular. You can walk to the mountain. The centre of Hagi is worth a visit.
