Located in the center of Kagoshima, this hotel offers a tranquil and comfortable escape. You'll find the rooms spotlessly clean and the staff exceptionally kind. The area is also packed with fantastic restaurants. I highly recommend it.

All was great but the most important part and the reason we booked this hotel was the prior/onsen. When we checked in and stayed for 3 days the facility was closed and hopping they would compensate us by sending us to a local onsen on their expenses. They should have a back up plan if these unforeseen events occur. I gave them 3 stars over all.

お部屋もよかったし、朝食も美味しかったです! ただ、レストランのスタッフの対応がとても残念でした。 お皿が汚れていたので、汚れていますよ。とスタッフの方に渡したら、あー。と言っただけで、そのままお皿を取りどこかに行ってしまったり、テーブルをふく時も食べかすを全部下に落としながらふいていてびっくりしました。

1人で2泊滞在でしたが、ダブルベットとトイレ・バス別(バスは洗い場と深い浴槽付き)でとても寛げるお部屋でした。 広い大浴場やジムスペースもあり、ランドリーも4台あったので、すべて快適でした。 天文館のあたりはすべて徒歩で行けますし、バス停や市電乗り場も近く、どこへ行くにも困りませんでした。
