Connect with the city, its food, and the land. A Hotel stay where you’ll discover the charm of Kanoya.

Kanoya is a town where you can experience the rich nature and culinary delights of the Osumi Peninsula. KOTOBUKI Hotel stands in the heart of Kanoya, gently connecting travelers with the local community and the flavors and atmosphere of this land. Though located in the city center, a calm ambiance fills the Hotel, offering a comfortable space to unwind at your own pace. Enjoy our carefully prepared breakfast and time at the bar, for a pleasant stay that suits both sightseeing and business trips. The Hotel is about 90 minutes by bus from Kagoshima Airport, and also easy to reach from Kagoshima-Chuo Station via ferry and bus—an ideal base for discovering Kanoya.

  • I stayed here to focus on studying alone. The desk light wouldn’t turn on, but when I called, they responded right away and it really helped.The Room was simple yet very stylish and easy to use. It wasn’t large, but it was more than enough for one person. When I thought I heard people talking, it turned out to be pigeons cooing, which was soothing. (They’ve taken measures so they don’t come inside.) I got a bit lost at first on the way to my Room, but I quickly got used to it. For dinner, I walked to AEON. There weren’t many ups and downs, and the weather was nice, so it was a pleasant walk.Breakfast is served upstairs at the bakery next door. I thought it would only be from a set menu, but there was also a small buffet—and everything was delicious.There’s no Onsen or bath—only a shower—but since my goal was to spend quiet time alone, that wasn’t an issue at all.I think I’ll stay here again when I want some time by myself.

  • This is my fifth stay since last August. The renovated items are new, and while the rest is average, everything still feels fresh and comfortable to stay in. Although the convenience store is a bit far, everything I need is available within the Hotel. The proximity to the downtown area is very convenient.
