Hot spring Hotels in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan

The staff members were very hospitable. Check in was fast and Jeffrey gave us detailed explanation of the facilities of the hotel. He also greeted us every time he met us in the lobby. While the renovation in the room is old fashioned, it is kept clean. We were very lucky that we had good view of Sakurajima during our two days stay. Breakfast in the lobby cafe and dinner in the Japanese restaurant were good.

We loved the view from the room, Sakura Island was just in front of us and we could actually see smoke coming out of its crater which was pretty awesome. The pools were also nice and the traditional restaurant near the lobby had some great Japanese food. The service was excellent, too. The only downside was that the bus stop is a bit far and walking to it in the middle of summer isn’t pleasant. But a taxi to the main train station costs around ¥1,800 which isn’t bad.

It was a wonderful stay. The hotel management was excellent, and the room was in great condition. I want to give a special mention to Miss Gotanda 五反田, who guided me after check-in. Her detailed explanations and warm smile set a positive tone even before I checked in. The hotel's hot spring overlooks Sakurajima volcano, enjoy hot spring while watching the sunrise was a truly delightful experience. I will definitely come back again next time.

This is my first leisure trip in 2025. That's a vey good experience trip with my wife. A modern and comfortable lobby lounge area provided a nice coffee area for a easy breakfast before my day trip. On the final day, i enjoyed the full buffet breakfast and staffs were really helpful with that gave people nice day beginning. Onsen provided me an refreshments daily and made me energetic, also relaxed me as happy ending. I forgot the female staff who received my fruit on 14Jan night. She and her colleague assist us to prepare the fruit which purchased outside. It was my nice dessert that night. Another memorable gentleman on 13Jan overnight, i was handling some business during overnight in sudden. Therefore, i went down lobby to complete it. He approached me for assistance and offering me help for wifi service. For the design of lobby, this is very great to locate the front desk towards the main entrance and the most front line to welcome guest. The FO team need to perform the most professional and consistently services. Especially the cold weather, they keep a good image to maintain professional. The shuttle bus driver was nice to take care us every evening back to hotel. For the room reservation, we selected the room with beautiful view Sakurajima and i could enjoy my drip coffee myself to see the sun raise. I will highly recommend this hotel to my friends.

Hotel Kyocera is probably one of the largest hotel in Kirishima. It has two buildings ( main and annex) and looks quite good architecturally. They are connected by a bridge on the 3 floor which has the walking escalator- and a display of the various places that have been listed as world heritage sites in Japan. Inside the main building, there is a glass church which is ideal for weddings. In the basement, there is a large onsen, and spa. It is certainly a good place for having a holiday. The overall condition of the rooms are good- and the rooms are of good size. My room faces the East and has a perfect view of sunrise! There are two large parking lot and parking is free. # urbanexplorer #hotelinjapan #hotels

It is a clean and well organized hotel. I stayed in their Otaru branch also, both of their Onsen ended up being amazing which I used every night during my stay. I would recommend always Dormy inn and their onsens to anyone!

My sincerest gratitude to the professional service and helpfulness of the front desk staff in particular the Div. Manager, Mr. Atsuyoshi Kubota, who patiently search for available medical service during late hours for treating my wife's injury and also voluntarily arrange a staff to accompany us to the hospital. Ram Kumar, the accompanying staff, is instrumemental in our communication to the medical personnels and he is so kind to arrange late dinner for us at the hotel's discretion. They not only demonstrate the highest level of professionalism but also their genuine care of the well being of the customers. Once again, big big thanks to Mr. Kubota and his team of beautiful people. By the way, good breakfast and dinner, both in terms of the menu as well as service and venue.

The check-in time for Hakusuikan is 3pm, and you cannot check in early. If you arrive early, you can go to the lobby bar to have some free drinks, which are delicious. Sitting in the lobby bar, you can see the typical Japanese courtyard style outside the window, and the sea is not far away. Walking out of the lobby, the sun, palm trees, and the seaside swimming pool give people the feeling of being in the south. When checking in, there is a dedicated one-on-one service, which will introduce the various facilities and services of the hotel in detail, and lead the way to the room. But the legendary Chinese waiter did not meet, he was a handsome young man's trainee. The characteristic sand steaming hotel in Ibusuki has it. Sand steaming is a unique hot spring experience. Put on a Japanese yukata at the entrance, and then lie on the sand. The waiter will bury the whole body in the sand heated by the hot spring heat. Generally, you will sweat profusely after 10 to 15 minutes. It is said that it can treat many physical discomforts caused by body cold. The price of sand steaming has increased from 1100 yen to 1540 yen per person. You cannot bring a camera or mobile phone to take photos. The photo fee is 1400 yen per photo, which will be settled together when you check out. The photos are printed and clipped in a small album. There is no electronic version. To be honest, it is better not to take photos. It feels too silly, especially the two flower paper umbrellas. The sand steaming is connected to the Genroku Onsen Baths. After the sand steaming, rinse the sand and soil at the entrance of the hot spring and go directly to the hot spring. The Genroku Onsen is very large. The hotel also has a Songyun Hot Spring, which is on the second floor next to the lobby, but it is just a large pool and the facilities are relatively simple. It is recommended to walk a few more steps to the Genroku Onsen bar. The dinner is Japanese, one by one, and each dish looks a little bit, but it is very full in the end. The hotel's free bus goes to Ibusuki Station. There is a bus to Ibusuki Station at 9:00 and 10:10 every morning. At 15:15 in the afternoon, Ibusuki Station picks up passengers to the hotel. The rest of the time you can only take a taxi. Fortunately, Hakusui-kan is not far from Ibusuki Station, and the taxi fare is about 1,200 yen.

Its a good place as a onsen resort hotel. The onsens are really good. The food is so so but they provide free flow ramen and ice-pop at night as supper and snack. The room is spacious, clean and quiet. There is a private onsen tub at the balcony of our room. It is so nice to enjoy it in the breezy spring. It will be better if you have own car to stay here. There do not have much choice of public transport direct to the hotel. But hotel staffs are also helpful to assist you to grab a taxi to any scenic spots nearby. The taxi drivers are all very nice. Even they can not speak english well, they tried very best to drive slowly when we pass by beautiful sakura park and use simple english to introduce few scenic places. The hotel limousine provided us one way when we arrived the jingu station and one way when we checked out from the hotel to jingu for free. I like their service and have great stays here!

I was traveling alone and was looking for a hotel with a hot spring. It was close to the station, had a hot spring, and was great for the price. As it was close to the station, I was able to enjoy my favorite meals outside. The hot spring was slimy and salty, which I love. It made my body smooth. The open-air bath was very small and just big enough for one person to relax in. I enjoyed a relaxing soak by myself. There was a women's only rest area, and staff were there when I got off the elevator, so I was able to bathe in peace. I could see the Ferris wheel from the window of my room, and the lighting at night was wonderful. The only disappointing thing was that the bathroom mirror and other areas were badly stained with water stains.

Typical Japanese-style room, beautiful view outside the window. The camellia in the hotel is in full bloom. Akamatsuyu is great. I saw it twice during my stay at the hotel. It was a pleasant surprise. It was snowing, and it was wonderful to soak in the hot spring in the snow. The meal was also good. The dinners were different for two nights, which was considered for the guests. The hotel has its own hiking root, and you can see the waterfall when you walk over. The overall feeling is great.

Located near Takachiho Peak, this hot spring hotel has a forest of 100-year-old cedar trees on the premises, as well as a huge hot spring lagoon, allowing you to feel the natural surroundings. The staff's welcoming, check-in, and check-out procedures were professional and left a good impression. The room itself was clean, but it was a little worn down with age, and unfortunately did not feel luxurious. However, the room was facing southwest above the main entrance, and we had a beautiful view of Kagoshima Airport and the sunset, so it was a comfortable stay. We were also grateful for the free bottled mineral water in the room. Since we stayed for two nights, the second night's dinner was specially prepared for us with a different menu from the previous night, and we were seated by the window where we could get a good view of the 100-year-old cedar trees. The food was made with local ingredients and looked beautiful, so we were very satisfied. Breakfast on the first day was very crowded and difficult. There were long lines for every dish, and children were running around. First, we had to take a tray, but the front of the line to be guided to our seat was in the same place as the tray table, so I thought the flow was poor and needed to be improved. On the other hand, even though we had breakfast at the same time on the second day, it was not crowded and we were able to eat quietly, so I think your luck with breakfast is unpredictable depending on how busy the hotel is. The location in the middle of nature, the huge hot spring lagoon, and the service from the staff were all very satisfying, and I would like to visit again.

It feels like a high-end hot spring hotel. The large open-air bath and Norikiri hot spring bath are both beautiful. The room is very comfortable. The scenery near the hotel is also beautiful. The staff is very friendly and allowed us to check in a few minutes in advance. We also returned the money when we left. He drove us to the bus station and it was a very satisfying trip to the hot spring hotel. The only drawback is that there is a long downhill slope from the bus station to the hotel. It is difficult to walk down with luggage. If you drive by yourself, there will be no problem.

I finally got to try out the hot spring hotel of the Hoshino Resorts Group. The room is huge and has a 180-degree view. It’s really touching🥹 A very special experience, taking the monorail to the hot spring hut is very interesting and feels like one with nature!

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in is an old hot spring hotel. It is said to have been passed down from generation to generation. The Japanese-style garden design is very beautiful. The Japanese-style room we booked was very spacious and included breakfast and dinner. The hotel has its own farm and ingredients. They are all sourced from their own farms, and Wagyu beef can be delivered all over Japan. The breakfast is very exquisite, and for dinner you can enjoy Kaiseki dishes such as Wagyu beef and lobster. The dining service in the room is very good, and you can also choose to eat in the restaurant. The hotel service is very good, providing daily pick-up and drop-off services to the airport, Hayato Station, and Kokubu Station. The hotel staff will proactively ask if you need to make a reservation for pick-up every day, and provide one-on-one pick-up with high-end vehicles. There is free freshly ground coffee in the lobby and free minibars in the rooms. There is a private bath in the room, which can be used indoors or outdoors. The free public bath has three outdoor hot spring pools and one large indoor hot spring pool. The hot spring water is so hot that you will sweat after soaking in it for a while. It is a rare carbonated spring in Japan. Opposite the hotel is a large supermarket with a variety of Kagoshima specialties and fresh ingredients, as well as a convenience store. There is a young lady who can speak Chinese. The whole experience was very good, will definitely come again!

The room is not very big, but it is nice to have outdoor + indoor hot springs. However, there are many spider webs on the outdoor door. The food for one stay and two meals is not surprising. Roast meat is provided in the evening (mostly chicken, beef only) Beef tongue), only bread, ham, cheese, etc. are provided in the morning. Homemade flying saucer sandwiches are required, but the Japanese in the same place eat Japanese breakfast. Why is Japanese breakfast only provided to locals ×-×

チェックインのお出迎えから、ご案内まですごく丁寧にしていただきました。 また、部屋にはお手紙も添えられていてすごくほっこりしました☺️ 温泉も泥パックがあり、雰囲気もすごく良かったです。 ごはんも繊細な味付けで、海外の友人も満足。 スタッフ全員がサービスに配慮されているのを感じました。 霧島へ観光の際はぜひ！

I first chose this hot spring hotel because it was close to the Sand Sand Hall so I could try Ibusuki's famous black sand bath. But it turns out that this hotel is also quite comfortable. The room has a stunning view of the entire beach and sea, which is refreshing and the private bath is very convenient. 1 bed, 2 meals, delicious, fresh and seasonal food, making the journey more enjoyable

[Good] The location is great, very close to the Sand Raku Hall (and the bus stop), by the sea, it's very pleasant to fall asleep listening to the sound of the waves at night. There are sand baths (1200 yen) and hot springs, very comfortable. [Bad] Maybe it's because it's a Japanese inn. The cleaning lady suddenly opened the door with a key and came in to make a blanket for me while I was still in the room, which scared me. (Japanese inn service habits?) [Summary] Super cost-effective, elegant environment, friendly and kind service staff who can speak English.

The hotel service is very good and the staff is friendly. The breakfast is rich, and the Japanese breakfast is special and very delicious. First-class environment and pleasant scenery. The room was spacious and very comfortable and the terrace had a great view.

Let me start with the conclusion: the hotel is good, but trip.com is bad. I booked a non-smoking room, but trip.com reported that the hotel had a smoking room. When I checked in, I found that the room smelled very heavy of smoke, so I discussed it with the hotel. At that time, the hotel showed me that the reservation document from trip.com showed a smoking room, which was exactly the opposite of the screenshot of my reservation for a non-smoking room. The hotel also said that there were no similar non-smoking rooms available and they could only give me a larger double room. I don't want to take advantage of this. It's obviously trip.com's fault, but the hotel has to bear it. Therefore, I wrote down the experience truthfully. I don’t know whether this review will be published, because I didn’t reply to the online conversation on trip.com at that time, so it was left alone. Once again, the hotel is very good, but please think carefully about whether you need to book through trip.com.

The room is small in size and can accommodate only 3 people. There is no bathroom in the room. There is a large bath on the 5th floor and an open-air hot spring on the 1st floor. As a hot spring hotel, the facilities are relatively average. The sea view is nice and beautiful. The dinner is also quite good. But the service was average. I asked about the jr and bus back to Kagoshima-chuo the next day. The front desk didn't know clearly. I checked and told them, and then they arranged a car to take us to the bus station. The service was warm throughout the whole process, but the information was incomplete. , compared with Kirishima Onsen, the service is not attentive.

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. 

Just opposite the sand bath, there is a bus stop next to it, the location is very convenient, I booked two meals, the content is rich and delicious, it is really good value for money

The room is large, with a swimming pool and a sea view. The hotel is very private, breakfast and dinner are kaiseki cuisine. Hotel service is very good, you can borrow a lot of things for free in the lobby. To go to the hotel, you need to take a taxi from the jr station, and a forest path is also very artistic.
