Hotel Kirishima Castle

I often use dinner buffets, and this is one I’d like to visit again and again. The standout was how delicious the yakiniku and shabu-shabu were. You can eat as much as you like of Kagoshima beef and Kurobuta pork, grilling it freely at your own table on a hot plate heated with solid fuel. Using the same solid-fuel setup, you can also enjoy hot pot dishes (three types) and kamameshi rice. In addition, you can cook Kagoshima beef, Kurobuta pork, and chicken just the way you like in a shared shabu-shabu pot. Chicken shabu-shabu is a dish that really works because of the quality of Kagoshima chicken. There were also local specialties such as kibinago sashimi and keihan chicken rice soup, each prepared with great care. Compared with other Hotels, there seemed to be fewer kid-friendly options, but every family appeared satisfied with the local cuisine. The baths were spacious as well, with excellent water quality and views—I was very satisfied.

It was a wonderful Hotel!Although it’s an older property, the hospitality was so excellent that we never felt its age.We’ll definitely come again!
