Hot Springs Hotels in Ibusuki

"This was once a luxurious hotel, but Yeltsin's time spared no one. He stayed here and even planted a tree. The spacious, well-maintained grounds offer beautiful views, three different restaurants for dinner with exquisite cuisine, sake tasting, sand bathing right on the hotel premises, a huge onsen, and the hotel's layout allows for privacy from other guests. However, the vacation was somewhat spoiled by the fact that the outdoor pool was closed and even bloomed in the first week of September, there's no private beach, and the beds and pillows in the European-style rooms are simply awful. Choose a traditional-style room with a sea view, and your stay will be unforgettable."

"The room is Japanese-style tatami, spacious and bright, with a separate bathroom, clean and hygienic as a whole, and the folk boss is warm. The focus is on two meals with a Japanese-style dry dinner, very rich and delicious (the picture is breakfast)."

"Our Third Visit to Ibusuki Royal Hotel – A Perfect Family Getaway This was our third stay at the Ibusuki Royal Hotel. On our previous family trips, we stayed next door at the Iwasaki Hotel, which is now unfortunately closed. The Royal Hotel is beautifully situated right by the seaside, offering stunning views of Mount Kaimon from the side — the scenery is simply breathtaking. Although the facilities are a bit dated, everything is immaculately clean, and the staff are exceptionally kind and attentive, making our stay truly enjoyable. The spacious guest rooms and relaxing atmosphere reflect the charm of a seaside resort. The hot spring baths, including the open-air onsen, were the perfect way to unwind at the end of the day. The breakfast buffet was also impressive — the quality and variety exceeded our expectations, and our whole family was delighted. Another plus is the hotel’s convenient location — within a 10-minute walk you’ll find the Daiei Shopping Mall, where you can easily pick up local foods and souvenirs. If you rise early, I highly recommend taking a morning stroll along the beach in front of the hotel. It feels like stepping into a scene from a movie — a peaceful and beautiful start to the day. If you’re planning a family trip, I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel. We visited by rental car from Kagoshima, but it seems that a shuttle service from JR Ibusuki Station is also available. A truly wonderful stay — we look forward to returning again!"

"The whole trip to the destination is still a bit down, but everyone is sticking to it, and as tourists, we are also very suitable for traveling hard! The room is still very lifelike, that is, 2 pairs of rice and a little crowded, the kitchen is a plus, the boss is very intimate to prepare the salt and black pepper, all drinking water, bags, small snacks are very generous, not to mention very bicycles, overall recommendation"

"The room is quite big, the food is also good, there is a Chinese lady at the front desk who patiently explains things in detail, there is a large sand bath nearby, and there is a light party on the beach at night, the hotel's hot spring pool is quite comfortable to soak in, the only shortcoming is that the Internet is really a bit bad, I hope the hotel can complete the repair as soon as possible and improve the Internet."

"A hot spring hotel near the sea, a ten-story Japanese-style sea view room, with an unobstructed sea view outside the window, the scenery is very good. I gave you a sand bath coupon for the hotel's own sand bath hot spring, so you don't even have to go to the Sand Le Hall. The specialty of Ibusuki is the sand bath. You can’t take pictures, so just use the pictures on the official website to take a look. You can soak for ten minutes at most, half the amount for children, and a staff member will wake you up when the time is up. The swimming pool is open during this season. The hotel has a free shuttle service to Ibusuki Station in the morning, leaving at 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. You need to make a reservation one day in advance. Dinner was Satsuma cuisine, which was exquisite, with fresh ingredients and delicious taste. Breakfast is buffet style. The Iwasaki Hotel next door actually had small fireworks on 8.12 nights, and I was lucky enough to catch them. The foreign girl at the front desk speaks very good English. She introduced herself as an expatriate from Dubai who has been working in Japan for 5 years. Now she speaks Japanese better than English 🙂"

"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."

"Hotel location is close to the famous sand bath hot spring, you can walk there, you can also buy tickets at the hotel (should be slightly higher than normal price), they will provide towels and cars to go to the sand bath hot spring. The hotel has a Japanese-style room, the room is wide, facing the sea, and the view is beautiful. As for the western-style room, it is the opposite direction, I don't know how the view is (because we live in Japanese). One berth and two meals, dinner is kaiseki cuisine, the portion is sufficient, delicious 😋. Breakfast is Japanese set (not buffet), and it is also very satisfying 😊 The hot spring is divided into male soup and female soup, there are baths and open-air winds, each suitable. The spring water is clear and there is no sulfur smell."

"Really couldn't be better. We booked a sea view room for 3 people with meals. When we went there, the boss saw that we were two adults and one child, and immediately thought of a way to refund the extra fee (1,500 yen for children). The typical Japanese hot spring hotel is very Japanese style. His house is just opposite the sand hall. It is very convenient to eat. The hotel has its own hot spring soup, one indoor, one outdoor, separate for men and women. The next morning we had to take the 8:08 train to leave. The station that the boss personally took us to was really warm and recommended. I personally think it is much better than Baishui Pavilion."

"It is very suitable for couples and families to experience traditional Japanese architecture together. It can be seen from many details. The boss and the proprietress operate the homestay with care, and they respond enthusiastically to any questions. In addition, there will be snakes in the summer, but don't be afraid, because there are many cats here to win the cockroaches, super cool! There are buses that can be reached directly, and there are fewer shifts to pay attention to time. The hot springs in the hotel are gradually decreasing. If you don't mind, you can drive to the traditional hot spring bathhouse nearby for only 150 yen."
