What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Unique Sand Bath Experience

What I liked about the hotel was that it had its own sand covering experience because Kagoshima is known for this experience but usually at another location. The combination of relaxation and the gentle heat of the sand was blissful. I never experienced anything like it before and found it to be revitalizing.

Ocean View Room

I had a room with an ocean view, which was very nice. You could hear the sound of the waves, which was soothing and added to the overall ambiance. The main room was spacious with a large 12-mat tatami setup and even included a western-style couch. It was a perfect space to relax and unwind after a day of exploring.

Excellent Breakfast Buffet

The buffet breakfast in a room overlooking the ocean was a highlight of my stay. It offered a great variety of selections and each dish was delicious. Starting my day with a view of the waves while enjoying excellent food was truly a wonderful experience.

Relaxing Onsen Bath

The onsen available in the hotel was very nice! It provided a peaceful retreat with beautiful views of the ocean. I loved soaking in the hot water and relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The dressing area was spacious with many amenities to help you feel rejuvenated afterward.

This hotel offers a great experience with its location right next to the ocean and easy access to the famous sand bath. The onsen facilities are wonderful, providing a relaxing atmosphere, but the dining experience could use some improvement. The rooms are decent but have some outdated features, and the lack of internet in the rooms is a drawback. Overall, it's a convenient stay for those looking to unwind and enjoy natural hot springs.
