It was the best!

The garden environment is very beautiful, and each room is surrounded by a garden. It feels like there are no more than 10 rooms. The room I stayed in has a private hot spring with a wall, and you can't see inside from the outside. It's very comfortable to soak in the private hot spring. When I ate in the restaurant in the hotel on the day of check-in, the diners should be guests, but they should all be Japanese. Although it is very expensive to book on Ctrip, the price for 2 people per night is nearly 6,300 RMB, but the stay experience is still happy. I didn't feel that anyone at the front desk spoke Chinese, but it didn't affect communication. It would be better if there were more vegetarian options. Amitabha.

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in is an old hot spring hotel. It is said to have been passed down from generation to generation. The Japanese-style garden design is very beautiful. The Japanese-style room we booked was very spacious and included breakfast and dinner. The hotel has its own farm and ingredients. They are all sourced from their own farms, and Wagyu beef can be delivered all over Japan. The breakfast is very exquisite, and for dinner you can enjoy Kaiseki dishes such as Wagyu beef and lobster. The dining service in the room is very good, and you can also choose to eat in the restaurant. The hotel service is very good, providing daily pick-up and drop-off services to the airport, Hayato Station, and Kokubu Station. The hotel staff will proactively ask if you need to make a reservation for pick-up every day, and provide one-on-one pick-up with high-end vehicles. There is free freshly ground coffee in the lobby and free minibars in the rooms. There is a private bath in the room, which can be used indoors or outdoors. The free public bath has three outdoor hot spring pools and one large indoor hot spring pool. The hot spring water is so hot that you will sweat after soaking in it for a while. It is a rare carbonated spring in Japan. Opposite the hotel is a large supermarket with a variety of Kagoshima specialties and fresh ingredients, as well as a convenience store. There is a young lady who can speak Chinese. The whole experience was very good, will definitely come again!

活火山が多い鹿児島は、ただ温泉が多いだけでなく、泉質の種類が豊富なので違いを楽しめるのが嬉しい。前回利用した妙見温泉『石原荘』は含鉄土類炭酸水素塩泉。 今回は、日当山（ひなたやま）温泉の野鶴亭の離れ別邸。弱アルカリ炭酸水素塩泉で美人の湯と呼ばれています。勿論、源泉かけ流し。 離れ別邸は５つ、順次改装中とのことで、私達が泊まった『斉心庵』は改装されていない最後のお部屋だったようですが、十分に整えられていて、中庭の24H露天風呂も素晴らしく、お部屋での食事のタイミングや気遣いも完璧でした。敢えてお名前を出させて頂くと、アテンドして頂いたMr.OSAMUさんからは、観光ルートの情報やお酒について（焼酎の麹など）興味深いお話が聞けて楽しかったです。改めて、有難うございました。 特筆すべき朝食も豪華で、温泉と料理を静かに楽しむには大満足の温泉宿でした。空港から無料送迎（約12分）してくれるそうなので、いつか家族で現地集合するのも良いなと思いました。
