Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Kagoshima

On the day, we arrived in Kagoshima on the last flight from Yakushima. After reaching the Kagoshima-Chuo Bus Terminal by highway bus from the airport, we were able to complete everything—from check-in to dining at the food stall village—simply by taking the elevator up and down. It was an outstanding location that made it easy to get around efficiently when time was limited.

I stayed for two nights on a business trip. Since I arrived via Kagoshima Airport, it was very reassuring and easy to find—especially for someone unfamiliar with the area—that the Accommodation is in the same building as the airport bus stop. I stayed in a Room on the more affordable side facing the Central Exit, but I imagine Rooms on the opposite Sakurajima-view side would offer a wonderful view (you can also see it straight ahead from the 7th-floor lobby). What I liked most about the Room was the sink and bath area: it’s level with no step up from the Room, and there’s a spacious bathtub plus a washing area and shower—perfect for relieving work fatigue. The only thing that bothered me was that the door separating this area was unusually heavy; someone with less strength might struggle to open and close it. Also, having USB ports in addition to AC outlets for charging would be appreciated.
