Harazuru Onsen Parensu Onoya

I came to Kyushu on a trip for my mother. We chose this place because the Reviews were truly excellent about the cherry-blossom garden, the Onsen, the lobby lounge that feels like a top-class Hotel, the food, and the staff—and in the end, it was exactly as described in the Reviews, or even better.First of all, the chocolate fountain with the welcome drink was absolutely amazing! The staff member who guided us to our Room was also very pleasant. We stayed in a detached Room, and it happened to be peak cherry blossom season—the view of the garden in full bloom from our Room was breathtaking! And we could enjoy it all to ourselves; my mother was deeply moved.And above all, the food was outstanding. The natural flavors of each ingredient were brought out beautifully, and every dish was perfectly seasoned. We enjoyed Kyushu ingredients we had never tried before, served on beautiful tableware—everything showed careful attention to detail. My mother kept saying throughout dinner how incredible this chef is! The explanations when each dish arrived were thorough, and their thoughtful service made for a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience. I was also happy that we could keep admiring the cherry blossoms while eating.The quality of the Onsen water was excellent as well. We fully enjoyed everything: an open-air bath that changes between night and morning, a rare tatami bath, and even the bath in our Room.Truly—whether it was the staff, cuisine, Room, or Onsen—everything was exceptional. This became an unforgettable Hotel for us. I would definitely love to stay again. I’m sure maintaining this level of quality is not easy, but I hope nothing changes.Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality.

This was my fifth stay. I love the large TV in the Room, the spacious washroom, and being able to relax in the Onsen. The sofa and chairs are stylish as well. The meals at Jusen are just the right portion size, featuring local cuisine and regional ingredients, which shows a real appreciation for the area. For some reason, I also felt truly valued as a guest. I will visit again.
