4-Star Hotels in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan

We stayed here on the last day of our honeymoon! We weren't sure about the shuttle service, so we called after arriving on Yoron Island, and they came to pick us up at Yoron Airport just 15 minutes later! 🙇‍♀️ Our room was on the first floor, and the two beds were spacious and very comfortable. 😌 There were a lot of stains on the sofa, but that was acceptable. We booked a plan without meals, but we called the hotel later and they made a reservation for us at the Western-style restaurant for dinner! The restaurant was fully booked online, but they adjusted the time and made a reservation for us at 7 PM. Since our dates were approaching and reservations at restaurants near the hotel were also full, this was a huge help! The only option offered was a 5000 yen course, but the portion size was just right, and the food, made with local ingredients, was delicious! We brought our own champagne for 5000 yen. They provided glasses and a cooler, and we served ourselves! They offer luggage storage after check-out, and it seems there's a space on the premises where you can rent cars or electric bicycles! Renting a car costs 6500 yen for 3 hours, which is a bit more expensive than other places, but you can pick it up right from the hotel, and there seems to be a free shuttle bus for boat and flight times, so I thought it might be a good idea to rent one to coincide with those! Thank you for a wonderful time!

This is a very nice hotel close to Kagoshimachuo station. It is convenient location for taking the Shinkansen and other trains. It is also a short walk or tram journey into Tenmonkan or the port area The room is a good size clean and you can choose a room with a magnificent view of Sakurajima Cleaning is done every two days but you can leave a sticker on your door and they will clean if you wish on off days The bathroom is the biggest I have seen in Japan very modern and nice to use Staff are very friendly and helpful. If I would visit Kagoshima again I would like to stay here

Very nice resort in the Kirishima mountains. Nice big rooms with a nice balcony. Free shoju is provided in the lobby nightly. Lots of toys and activities for families and kids. Great public onsen area with numerous indoor and outdoor pools. Great selection for dinner and breakfast buffets.

The triple room was generally small and a bit cramped. The only plus was the shower/tub combo, and the bathroom itself was quite spacious. The toiletries provided were excellent, and the hairdryer was a Refa, with both a curling iron and a flat iron included. It's worth noting that none of the rooms offer a view of Sakurajima; you have to go to the rooftop observation deck to catch a glimpse from a specific angle. The hotel is quite a distance from the central station, which is inconvenient if you have large luggage. However, downstairs there's a food street, shopping, and a supermarket, so everything you need is readily available.

五星級服務，車泊在停車場已經有人走出黎幫你係車搬行李，入到門口要除鞋，有人幫你放好對鞋，有welcome drink 和式係抹茶加和菓子，西式係香檳同cookie After the meal, someone introduced the hotel facilities, including hot sand for feet, and because there were stairs, someone helped carry the luggage up to the room. The room faces the sea view, which is great! One room, two meals, breakfast and dinner in another room. Food quality is good! When I checked out, he would help me get the car to the door instead of driving on my own. To sum up, the service is considerate. For three thousand dollars, you can find a sea view room with one bed and two meals. 

I originally wanted to book the highly recommended Shiroyama Hotel, mainly to see the active volcano scenery in Kagoshima! But I booked too late. I saw that this art hotel was also said to offer good value for money. The only downside is that it's a bit far from Kagoshima-Chuo, so you'll need to take a taxi, otherwise, the bus ride takes over half an hour. The room with a view is indeed outstanding. However, the hotel is a bit old, and the facilities are a bit dated. Plus, there's no hot spring, and the only swimming pool is closed in winter. There's also an outdoor spa that requires advance booking and a swimsuit, which I unfortunately didn't bring, so I had to give it a miss. The front desk staff spoke good English. The only issue was that on weekends, breakfast was super crowded, and we had to queue for half an hour 😮💨. However, the breakfast spread was quite rich. Overall, it's not bad, especially suitable for those traveling by car.

We ended up in a magnificent corner room with a view of Sakurajima - possibly the best room in the hotel - but only after a struggle. On arrival, we were told that our Standard King room was double-booked and we would have to move after one night to a smaller room. The hotel blamed the mix-up on Trip.com. Since we had booked almost two months prior and had arrived first, this didn't wash. We pressed our claim and the result was good. A lovely, modern room with exceptional facilities - including a private sauna - and magnificent view. But it speaks poorly of the hotel's customer service that it took some determined push-back to achieve this result. The hotel's initial attitude was that the we should lose out over a mix-up that had nothing to do with us. A first-rate place, if you can trust the booking.

The facilities are complete, and the front desk is on the third floor. The location is great, very close to the Planetarium business district. There's a large Don Quijote right across the street from the hotel. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from the station, so not too far. The service is excellent and the staff are very friendly. Coming from Fukuoka to Kagoshima, I felt the rooms here were quite affordable! 😂

This was my first trip to Kagoshima, Kyushu, and your hotel's setting was absolutely stunning, offering distant views of Sakurajima volcano. The hot springs within the hotel also have excellent water quality, especially the open-air bath where you can gaze at Sakurajima. If the weather is good, you can even catch the sunrise around 5:30 AM, truly experiencing the majestic power of nature! The hotel's buffet breakfast lived up to its reputation and was definitely worth the price! Plus, there's a free shuttle bus service daily from Kagoshima-Chuo Station to the hotel. All in all, it's a high-quality hotel well worth staying at for anyone visiting Kagoshima.

I stayed 5 nights in Kagoshima for a leisurely trip. The hotel has 12 floors with 4 rooms per floor and 2 elevators. There was only one staff member at the front desk, but they were very friendly. Check-in and check-out were done via a self-service machine. Rooms don't have keys; instead, you get a 4-digit passcode. **Pros:** The rooms are spacious, perfect for families, and some even have bunk beds. Each room comes with a kitchen and a washer-dryer combo, which was super convenient as I cooked dinner three times. The hotel is located between Kagoshima-Chuo Station and the Tenmonkan shopping district. Both are about 900 meters away, and since Kagoshima city center isn't that big, you can easily walk around the commercial areas. **Cons:** As many have mentioned, the breakfast isn't great. There are only five simple options. In Japan, if you don't eat breakfast at the hotel, it can be quite challenging and time-consuming to find something outside.
