Hotel Sunshine
7,2/10 Very good - Based on 178 reviews
Hotel Sunshine is a mid‑scale love hotel in Miyazaki, set on the riverside a short walk from the city’s entertainment district. Recently refreshed, the property advertises a quieter riverside position while remaining within easy reach of downtown, the main station and the airport. The front desk operates around the clock and the hotel runs membership offers and seasonal events; small welcome amenities are promoted on the official site. The setting suits couples seeking privacy as well as solo business guests.
Accommodation focuses on compact, double-room layouts with options listed as queen‑size and smaller double rooms; rooms are designed for short overnight stays with in‑room seating, basic work surfaces and contemporary bedding. Onsite facilities include a hot tub/jacuzzi in some units, room‑service options and non‑smoking rooms, with parking available for guests, including space for roughly 16 vehicles. Check‑in is scheduled in the evening and check‑out mid‑day, and the house rules restrict access to adults only; staff note they can provide local guidance at the 24‑hour reception.
Practical location and straightforward facilities make Hotel Sunshine a convenient choice when visiting central Miyazaki. The hotel places emphasis on discreet service and simple extras rather than extensive resort amenities, so expect practical comforts, promotional packages and clear information for reservations. The airport sits roughly 5 km away and the main station is within about 1.7 km. For travellers seeking a love hotel in Miyazaki Prefecture, this property presents a compact, service‑oriented option with easy access to riverside walks, nearby nightlife and city attractions.
