Modern hotel with lobby on the 3rd floor. Well located next to the Tenmonkan shopping district and 3 tram stops from Kagoshima Train Station. Breakfast is at Tully's next door with 3 options to choose from. There is a car park behind the hotel but rates are expensive but comparable to the carparks in the area. Hotel rate is capped at 1500yen for parking from 2pm to 12am.
Highly recommended!
Shopping mall is just 1 min walking distance.
Convenience store , coffee shop , restaurant is just downstairs.
The room is nice. Spacious, clean, comfy!
Service is good as usual.
I don't know why the rating is so low everywhere. Whenever you make a call, they’d answer right away. There's a hot spring just a 3-minute walk away, so sharing the bathroom wasn't a problem. It is an old building, so the noise might be annoying, but all the guests were extra careful so it wasn’t a problem for us. there's no problem. Plus it’s very very clean place to stay.
A very good memories staying in Richmond hotel Kinseicho, the staffs are very friendly, and it is convenient that there are laundry serivce(washing machine at the hotel) and free ice cube to take at 9th floor. The room was big though for one person staying. The environment was clean and quiet, I hope next time can bring my family here to stay. For the location, temonkan is nearby and easy to walk around Kagoshima city, I walked from hotel to Kagoshima Chuo Station, very convenient
Great place to stay if you are travelling through Tanegashima and are spending time in or around Minamitane. Many good restaurants are within walking distance, and the owner was very nice, providing helpful tips for travelling around Tanegashima. The backyard is also a great place to do some stargazing, and the room I had was able to head directly to it.
Breakfast served was also very good; a homestyle japanese style breakfast.
The location is superb, room was clean, spacious and with a nice balcony. The room provided all you need on a leisure trip.
The only downside was it was super complicated and time consuming to contact the hostel for entrance pin, check-in procedure and check-in number. We asked the front desk receptionist of our previous hotel to call the hostel number stated on trip.com booking confirmation email in morning, but no one picked up; called again at 3pm, and the hostel hotline said the number was wrong and referred us to call another number. If we did not have the assistance from a Japanese local receptionist from another hotel, I dont think we could get the entrance pin and check-in procedure information smoothly.
I recommend this hostel to Japanese local, or tourists with a Japanese mobile number to make calls/able to find assistance from Japanese local people.
Very well located near everything. We could walk to the water front, buy food till midnight in the neighbourhood. The clothes freshener was very convenient. 12th floor had ice and water dispensers, vending machines and a public bath. The included breakfast coud serve as our lunch. Overall we loved our stay.
As always, the Japanese hotel is clean and sanitary. It is located in the center of the city. It is about 15 minutes walk from the station and about 10-15 minutes walk to the pier. Life is quite convenient
I often travel to Japan, and Dormy Inn rooms always seem to be in high demand. The 20+ sqm twin rooms, perfect for two adults and one child, are usually impossible to book. So, when I saw this room type available in Kagoshima, I decided to book it for one night.
Overall, my experience fell short of expectations. Unfortunately, neither adult could enjoy the onsen (hot springs) for personal reasons, which is arguably the hotel's main highlight – a real shame. The room itself was a bit small, and while cleanliness was decent, the toilet emitted a persistent garlic-like odor.
On the positive side, the dining options were excellent. Breakfast featured Kagoshima's special black pork shabu-shabu and a type of sashimi. Complimentary ice cream and Yakult were available all day in the lounge on the hot spring floor, and free soy sauce ramen was served after 9:30 PM. Given these amenities, I'd say it's best suited for adults who plan to fully utilize the onsen facilities.
What truly made the stay less than ideal wasn't just my inability to use the onsen. More significantly, during check-in, the front desk informed me that my reservation did not include a 3-year-old child, resulting in an additional charge for the child's accommodation and meals. This wasn't the hotel's fault, and honestly, I'm not sure who to blame. I distinctly remember booking for two adults and one child, so I'm puzzled about what went wrong in the process. Perhaps Dormy Inn and I simply weren't a good match this time.
I'm well aware that Japanese hotels charge per person, so I always meticulously enter the correct number of guests and compare prices across different platforms when booking in Japan. Having visited Japan over a dozen times, this was the first instance where I was charged extra at check-in due to a discrepancy in the number of guests. I was quite surprised when informed about the booking error. Checking my Trip.com confirmation on my phone at the front desk, I saw it indeed only listed two adults. I can only fault myself for never reviewing the confirmation after booking; moving forward, I'll be sure to check them carefully to catch and correct any issues promptly. After reporting this to Trip.com customer service, they responded quickly and later reimbursed me half of the additional cost.
During this trip, both hotels I booked through Trip.com had unexpected additional charges at check-in. Besides the Dormy Inn incident, another hotel in Fukuoka charged a separate accommodation tax. Interestingly, I booked a different hotel in Fukuoka on another platform, and its price already included this tax, so I didn't pay anything extra upon arrival. Moving forward, when booking hotels in Japan, I'll have to carefully consider if the lowest price offered on certain platforms might be due to hidden fees.
Great

WWK3112We absolutely loved this stay and would recommend it to all travellers!
We booked the corner room. The room was well illuminated by natural light during the day and we could see the river from our room. At night we could even hear the water flowing. There were two western single beds but we asked for futons for the full Japanese experience and loved it! The room was spacious and clean. There was a bathtub in the bathroom but we used the public bath (male and female separated) which was amazing. The public bath was quiet and spacious and there was a sauna room. Breakfast was served during 7am -830am with a well set table as shown in the picture. The staff was super kind. Just note that the walls were thin and you should expect some noise but people here are generally used to keeping their voice down.
Another highlight is that you can take the bus of both the red and blue lines at the bus stop right in front of the hotel. (The blue line is for Shiratani Unsuikyo.). It is very convenient if you are not driving. The hotel is around 25 mins away from the ferry port and the walk there was pleasant and not difficult to find.
Yet another great thing about this place is that you can rent mountaineering gear here at a cheap price, including shoes and rain protection. We rented the shoes here at 1,xxx yen per person (forgot the exact price) and they were very useful. It was raining for almost the whole 5h hike for us and the shoes offered a good grip and were sufficiently waterproof. You can also find little souvenirs at their shop. Honestly, it's impeccable!
GGuest UserSplendid sea view from a beautiful, large, bedroom.
2 beds instead of one big. This could have been better to me.
Service is excellent. People are nice, always trying to help, being resourceful on how you may handle your visit of the island. Top notch people.
The real ”could be better” thing to me is, the restaurant that close really early (8.30pm if my memory is good), does server only buffet for 80kY.
The buffet is of quality mixing Japanese, Chinese and Western styles of food. And also comes with nice desserts.
However, having the choice to get only one A la carte dish could be a real plus. I personally do not want to get a full buffet for every and each of my diners.
And if you do not have a car, finding another place to eat may become a challenge. There is nothing around at a walking distance except a supermarket.
The breakfast is definitely qualitative. And if you intend to move early for visiting, the hotel can prepare you a breakfast and a lunch box for no overcharge. Basic but good and appreciated.
To have another plus, they serves a local craft beer made with local cedar trees. Quite a good and interesting one.

GGuest UserEveryone is very friendly and it's nice at home.
The rice is very good and the beach is nearby, so it is perfect for spending a luxurious time.
This room is a wooden house with high ceilings and a touch of woody fragrance. The ceiling fan invites you to travel.
Taking a step to the balcony, the stars look very beautiful, and the sounds of various creatures come and go.
I feel that I have found something forgotten in my city life.
I want to live longer.
Thank you very much for picking up from the airport.
If you come to Ammei, please be sure to stay, I will recommend it.

SShimadaInuThis was the best island accommodation I have ever experienced.
The location is perfect for enjoying beautiful seaside views and snorkeling. Right in the heart of Kumasaki Beach, I could reach the coral reefs in just five minutes. I was even lucky enough to see a turtle while snorkeling. The water quality is amazing—incredibly clear and full of beautiful colors.
The on-site restaurant, Forest, is also worth mentioning. I ended up having all my meals there because the food was consistently excellent. I tried almost everything on the menu and enjoyed every dish. The kitchen does a wonderful job of balancing local flavors with Western-style cuisine.
The staff were always friendly, helpful, and smiling.
The only small issue was that the curtains in my room were a bit thin, so the morning sun would wake me up early.
Other than that, it was a flawless stay.
AAnonymous UserCabin lodging, clean and fully equiped. You literally park right up your cabin, easy to get things from the car, load/unload luggage etc. Staff was lovely as well. There are 2 pharmacies (sells frozen food, daily necessities, cosmetics etc) just beside so it’s convenient to get snacks. Laundry room has 2 wash&dry machines. The nearby self service yakiniku (6mins drive) was delicious too. Hotel provides a frozen bento for each paid guest per night, simple to follow instructions to heat up in in-room microwave. Bed and bathroom were clean and new, it’s a good and comfortable stay. The area is however likely farmland so it smells abit like the zoo, but close the door and the room is perfectly alright, aircon is great too. Highly recommend. Location is not too out of the way, it is more suitable for road trips than touristy things.
GGuest Usern authentic Amami community stay! A beautiful village with narrow lanes, a pristine beach within walking distance, a cafe with a top-quality local arts and crafts display, lovely service, and a friendly community! The DenPaku hotels and guest houses blend so well into the village, respecting the local atmosphere, that you hardly feel like you're staying in a hotel. If you're looking for a top-end dining experience, the hotel can provide transport up the coast to their stunning restaurant, with views that alone justify the visit. You can rent an e-bike to visit the nearby beaches. It's very close to the airport and the more touristic part of the island—without the tourists—so serene! I was there for the fireworks festival, and that was a treat! If you want an authentic Amami Island experience, head to DenPaku in Akakina!
