Sheraton Kagoshima

It was a wonderful trip!

I love Kagoshima! A Sakurajima view from my beloved Sheraton Kagoshima! Relaxing in the Onsen made this a wonderful trip for both body and mind. Thank you very much for your hospitality!

Sakurajima can be seen from the Room.

Good value for money when staying for two.

Located right in front of the tram stop, close to Tenmonkan and the central station, with a supermarket next door, it's a convenient location. The room is spacious with high ceilings and well-equipped. There's also an onsen! I think it's a great property to enjoy your stay in Kagoshima. However, there are no single rooms, so as a budget traveler staying alone in a double room, I found the accommodation fee to be "expensive (sweat)". Perhaps because it's a foreign-affiliated property, the bed (height) is quite high. I booked a room with a view of Sakurajima, but when lying on the bed, I couldn't see Sakurajima, which was disappointing. I think it would be better to change the bed's orientation during future renovations so that the view can be enjoyed. It's a waste of Sakurajima! I was confused as I couldn't figure out how to use the bedside alarm (clock?). Similarly, I couldn't operate the air purifier. Although I could search for instructions, it would be convenient to have a file summarizing how to use the facilities. The coffee and tea bags were Kagoshima-produced (delicious), which left a good impression. If possible, I would like the mugs to be white so that the color of the tea and green tea can be checked. With dark-colored cups, it's hard to tell how much the tea has been brewed. The onsen is very clean. However, you can't see outside at all, let alone Sakurajima. Since it's on the Sakurajima side, I hope they can adjust the angle of the louvers or do something to allow for a bit of a view. At least, I wish they would remove the cover from the footbath area, which is used while clothed. I'm not sure about the men's bath, but in the women's bath, most of the washing areas are back-to-back, so be careful of your back. The shower water pressure is quite strong, so there's a high risk of getting splashed with the dirty water from the person behind you. Also, the number keys on the locker in the changing room are quite small, so don't forget your glasses if you need them. There is a page online where you can check the congestion of the onsen, but the updates are irregular, so it wasn't very reliable. The pajamas have a note saying "only in the room," but perhaps due to a broad interpretation, several people wore them to the onsen. It might be better to have a note saying "Do not wear to the onsen." The shampoo and other amenities in the room's shower are different from those in the onsen. The onsen's amenities have a milder scent, while the room's have a "foreign" scent. There is a sliding door with a shoji-like design between the bed and the washbasin, but I didn't notice it at all, thinking it was a wall. If you leave it slightly closed (shifted) on one side, it would be easier for first-time guests to notice.
