Minami Kagoshima Station × Hot spring × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan

It was a Hotel where we could fully enjoy Kagoshima—Sakurajima, Onsen, satsuma-age, kurobuta pork, and the night view! Sakurajima seen from the window was beautiful and majestic, and the meals were delicious…especially the satsuma-age, which truly surprised me (I underestimated it). The Onsen water was gentle on the skin, and I ended up soaking three times. This time we stayed for one night, but next time I’d like to stay for several nights and relax.

We stayed for two nights as a couple using the Kagoshima Solo Discount. The spacious room had a great view of Sakurajima, with a table, a comfortable sofa to relax on, and plenty of space to put our luggage. We also used the hot spring and sauna, which were very relaxing. The bed length felt a bit short for men. Breakfast was buffet-style; the selection wasn’t large, but it was more than enough for us and we enjoyed it. A walk before dawn was the best! This is a hotel we’d love to stay at again if we have the chance.

We stayed for two nights. Both the guest room and the large public bath were comfortable, and we were very satisfied with the breakfast. The local specialties, such as satsuma-age (fried fish cakes), were also delicious. When we visit Kagoshima again, we would definitely like to stay here again.

I believe it truly is 100% free-flowing hot spring water. From the moment I got in, I could feel it soaking into my skin and leaving it smooth. There were separate tubs with hotter water and slightly cooler water, and although small, the open-air bath was also very nice. If I had one request, I’d like the open-air bath to be a bit larger.

I stayed for a Multiple Night Stay. I didn’t have high expectations for the Club Lounge food, but the selection was slightly different from the previous day, and I was happy to see that they were considerate of guests staying multiple nights. That said, since it’s a Club Lounge, I was a bit disappointed that there wasn’t an afternoon tea service—it would have made the experience feel more complete. Since this is Kagoshima, I would have liked to see some local sweets (for example, purple sweet potato meringues or Kastadon). That part was disappointing. Sheraton always keeps the Room thoroughly cleaned and spotless. It’s my favorite Hotel. However, I didn’t like that the toothpaste in the amenities had been changed to paper packaging—it was inconvenient to use.

Thank you for hosting us for two nights during our summer vacation. It was a wonderful Room with a great view of Sakurajima right in front of us. All the staff were courteous and professional, and we had a very pleasant stay. We would love to stay with you again next time. Thank you very much.

Thank you as always for your hospitality. I have used the day-use sauna before, but this time I stayed again on a business trip after some time away. The Room has been renovated and is very clean, with a large table and a layout that makes it easy to work. Being able to enjoy the sauna twice—once before dinner and again in the morning before heading to work—at this price is a great value. Unlike saunas in the city, it was spacious and relaxing. I will stay again.

The staff were very courteous, and we had a wonderful trip. We were very satisfied with the guest room and the bath. We would love to stay again when we visit Kagoshima.

I usually stay at a Hotel, but this time I chose a Ryokan with one natural hot spring source and stayed here. Everything was clean and well kept, the staff’s level of attentiveness felt just right, and the breakfast was delicious and very filling. The Room was also a Japanese-style room, so I could relax on my own at a leisurely pace—it was very comfortable. The Onsen felt wonderful too. Next time, I’d like to come back and stay with my family.
