Romantic Hotels in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan

The hotel's location is excellent, right next to the planetarium. The airport shuttle stop is just a minute's walk to the left when you exit. The hotel is quiet, clean, and has a great design. The room size isn't huge, but it's perfectly sufficient for a solo traveler. The only downside is that breakfast is a set menu with no drinks, and it got a bit repetitive after four days. Overall, it's great value for money, and I recommend it!

Our stay at Kirishima Onsen Ryokojin Sanso was absolutely wonderful. The hotel is beautifully situated on a hill and easily accessible by car. The spacious rooms and amazing onsen facilities were impressive, especially the private outdoor onsen in the forest, which we enjoyed in the evening when it was dark – a truly phenomenal experience. The authentic food was another highlight, beautifully presented and truly delicious. We highly recommend Kirishima Onsen Ryokojin Sanso for anyone seeking a serene and authentic Japanese onsen experience.

The hotel lobby is directly accessible from the second floor of JR Chuo Station. The location is excellent, making it convenient for both travel and shopping. Before check-in and after check-out, you can self-store your luggage; just ask the front desk for a card to scan yourself, which is very user-friendly. The front desk staff are available 24 hours and are always warm and friendly. The hotel has two restaurants, one Japanese and one Western. The Western restaurant partners with Pronto on the first floor and offers set meals. The Japanese restaurant is a buffet. Neither restaurant has a huge variety of food, but there's enough to fill you up. The Western option is better for guests in a hurry as it offers takeaway. The only drawback is the lack of a hot spring, making this the only hotel on our Kyushu trip where we couldn't enjoy a bath. However, the front desk provides free bath salts, so you can still have a relaxing soak in your room's bathtub. The bath salts also have a pleasant fragrance, which somewhat made up for it.

The room is oversized, very clean and tidy, and the electrical appliances are fully equipped. The owner of the house is very nice and will give many tips for playing on the island. The yard is equipped with a laundry room, vending machine, and hammock. There is a large parking space in front of each house, which is very suitable for self-driving tours.

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.
