    It’s a little bit of a steep climb from the city, but there’s a bus.

    The location is stunning - the terrace has the best views of Sakurajima, even better than shiroyama summit observatory. The breakfast buffet was amazing.

    Breakfast was a bit like being in a canteen. The staff were very good and the food was fine.

    The hotel was situated on a hill with amazing views of the volcano and town below. Our room was spotless with views of the volcano from our full length windows The staff were very friendly and helpful.

    They charge a lot extra to use the fitness room, which NO ONE uses. It should be part of the room, just as the onsen is included.

    A fantastic location on a hill overlooking Sakurajima volcano. Beautiful onsen with an open air bath. Wonderful customer service! The massage spa was just lovely.

    The hotel is a luxury property in a beautiful location directly facing Sakurajima volcano and overlooking the city of Kagoshima and Kinko Bay. The service was excellent and the rooms were comfortable and immaculately clean. The onsen shares the stunning view.

    It is a small distance from the city so a short taxi ride is necessary.

    Large hot spring (onsen) and facilities were great. The outdoor hot spring boasts a view of the Volcano Sakurajima. Breakfast buffet was amazing with their huge selection of choices. It is an old, famous hotel in Kagoshima and it has history. Everywhere including our rooms were spotlessly clean. It also has a convenience store.

    The view from the hotel was fantastic. The onsen baths face Sakurajima island, so taking a hot soak while taking in the city sights and the island is a big bonus. Breakfast offers a variety of choices. Shuttle bus was frequent from station to hotel.

    The facility was a lot larger than anticipated. Due to the size, it did not feel cozy or personal, and we did a lot of walking within the hotel to get from Point A to Point B. In contrast to the wonderful breakfast variety and quality, we felt rushed to get in line and eat quickly due to the crowd. The staff were mostly professional and polite but did not feel overly friendly.

    The breakfast buffet was superb with too many wonderful choices. The outdoor onsen with the full view of Sakurajima (the breakfast hall also has the same view) cannot be beat. With the large hotel, there were many shopping choices (Family Mart convenience store, bakery, half a dozen restaurants, and gift shop) onsite.

    Location is inconvenient - up a long hill with nothing else around it. Some staff members are very nice, some are mediocre at best. It is overpriced for what you get.

    Breakfast buffet has a wide variety of food, onsen is nice but crowded, room was large for Japan

    The decor of the room is a bit old and tardy. The water closet is very old style; still operated manually, not match with the standard of the hotel. The bathtub is very slippery which is dangerous to the old people, suggest to add a bath mat on it. The location of the hotel is remote from the city centre, it takes at least half an hour by shuttle bus.

    The hotel is embraced by beautiful and tranquil environment. All staff provided excellent services; friendly, patient and helpful. The breakfast is excellent and value for money. The frequency of the shuttle bus is adequate. The open onsen is comfortable with beautiful view.
