Overview
Stay by the Pacific Ocean at Aoshima Grand Hotel, where you can enjoy ocean views, tatami rooms, and one of Japan’s rare tatami-lined open-air baths. Located in Aoshima, Miyazaki—an area known for long sunny days and tropical scenery—this ryokan offers you a peaceful setting for rest, recreation, and exploration. Wake up to the sound of waves, spend the day at Aoshima Beach or surfing, and unwind in hot spring waters with panoramic sea views.
Accommodation
You can choose from several room types that all highlight comfort and simplicity in Japanese style. Whether you’re traveling solo or with family and friends, there’s a room that suits your stay.
Japanese Rooms: Stretch out on tatami floors with soft futons and wide windows overlooking the sea. These rooms give you plenty of space to relax and take in the view.
Western-Style Rooms: Sleep on twin beds in rooms facing the mountains, perfect for a quiet, cozy night.
Mixed Japanese-Western Rooms: These combine tatami areas with Western beds, offering both traditional ambiance and familiar comfort.
Oceanview Rooms with Beds: Enjoy the fresh ocean breeze and watch the sun rise over the sea from your bed. These updated rooms feature low-profile beds placed directly on tatami floors.

Rooms with Private Open-Air Baths: Soak in a tatami-lined tub while watching the waves roll in. These exclusive rooms give you access to natural hot spring waters anytime you like.
Every room includes air conditioning, a TV, private bath, refrigerator, and free Wi-Fi.
Dining
Your stay includes delicious meals rooted in local flavors. For dinner, sit down to a full-course Japanese meal centered around Miyazaki wagyu beef and local pork in savory sukiyaki. Every dish highlights regional ingredients, prepared with care and seasonal balance.
Breakfast is served buffet-style and includes traditional Japanese fare like rice, grilled fish, pickled vegetables, and miso soup made with fresh crab. You’ll also find dishes like scrambled eggs, bread, and soup for a simple Western touch.
Meals are served in spacious dining halls, with views of the ocean or the lush greenery of Miyazaki. Make sure to book your meals in advance—seasonal menus may vary.
Onsen and Wellness
The open-air rooftop bath is the star of Aoshima Grand Hotel. Fully covered in tatami mats, the rooftop bath gives you a direct view of the Pacific Ocean. It’s the perfect place to relax at sunset or start your morning with a soak.
You can also unwind in the large indoor bath on the lower floor, which is separated by gender. These baths feature mineral-rich waters from Aoshima Kaikatsu Onsen, known for easing muscle pain, fatigue, and skin irritation.
Looking for privacy? Reserve one of the private family baths for a quiet soak with your partner or family. Each has its own changing area, indoor wash area, and ocean view.
Guests with Tattoos
If you have tattoos, you won’t be able to use the shared public baths. Instead, book a room with a private open-air bath or reserve the rooftop private bath for your stay. Ask the front desk for help when you check in.
