Hotels With Spa in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan

I had a pleasant stay at Art Hotel Kagoshima. The hotel offers a beautiful view of Sakurajima, especially from the rooms facing the bay — waking up to that scenery was truly memorable. The staff were friendly, polite, and helpful throughout my stay. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and the overall service felt professional and efficient. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything I needed for a short stay. The bed was cozy, and the room layout made good use of space. Breakfast was enjoyable, with a nice selection of Japanese and Western dishes, and the restaurant had a lovely view as well. The hotel’s location is convenient — just a short drive from the city center and ferry terminal. Overall, Art Hotel Kagoshima is a great choice for travelers looking for comfort, good value, and beautiful views of Sakurajima. I would be happy to stay here again.

The hotel is so comfortable, the room is excellent, so luxurious. The restaurants are excellent, spa is great. Location is great to get around Kagoshima, plenty restaurants within walking distance.

The appearance of this hotel is very special and it is divided into two halls. The main building has beautiful floors and you can see the doors of every room. The room is fully equipped, but the furniture is a bit old, but everything is very clean. Maybe this hotel is 30 years old! The staff was very attentive and helped me carry all my luggage to my room. I rarely experience such service! There are two open-air free parking lots in the parking lot, which is convenient for self-driving tours. There is a small wedding hall in the main hall, which is simple and beautiful. There are both outdoor and indoor swimming pools, making it convenient for swimming in any weather. The breakfast options are quite good and tasty with lots of choices. Next time I come to Kagoshima, this hotel will definitely be my first choice!

Facilities: Formerly the Royal Hotel, the west wing has only undergone exterior renovations. Therefore, I booked the newly renovated east wing. The rooms are predominantly wooden, and the twin-bed Japanese-Western style rooms are quite nice. The onsen (hot spring) is a mild sulfur spring, and the outdoor pool is nice. However, it's not the main sulfurous white spring in the area; those would likely be more therapeutic. There's a heated swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts, a playroom, and a children's play area. Cleanliness: Good Environment: Located next to Takachiho Ranch, it's situated on high ground, offering views of Sakurajima to the south, making it a good spot for sunset viewing. Service: Good. Semi-electric bicycles are available for rent, currently free.

The environment is comfortable, the kiri-kiri bath and the large public bath are great. Shochu and local tea are provided. There are also hourly and midnight snacks. The tomato ramen is delicious. The hotel also provides a shuttle bus to Kirishima Jingu Station. The Dormy Inn Group will not disappoint. Recommend staying at Kirishima Onsen for one night. It is great.

The views of the bay and the volcano are absolutely stunning, 'picturesque' doesn't even begin to cover it! My room type was a garden view twin, so I couldn't see the volcano or the sea. It was all about value for money, at around 600-700 RMB per night. The room was spacious enough (by Japanese standards), and the luggage rack could fit two medium-sized suitcases. The bathroom was also quite large. If you want to see the volcano, you can head to the courtyard or walk five minutes to the Shiroyama Observatory. You can soak in the large hot spring bath while looking at the volcano, but we only took a quick look around the baths and didn't really try them out, so I can't comment much. The hotel shuttle bus runs every half hour, which is pretty convenient. The city view bus stop is near the Shiroyama Observatory. Just ask the receptionist at the hotel lobby on the 4th floor how to get to the observatory; we turned left then right and it was a five-minute walk. By the way, the city view bus route is a bit winding and there aren't many buses. It's better to take the JR to Sengan-en. The JR has a stop right at the entrance of Sengan-en, and the platform itself is the best spot to view Sakurajima.

It is rare that there are fresh flowers in the guest room. It is a large communal bath in the hotel, but the men seem to have been renovated and are very clean. However, it ends at 23 o'clock at night, so I want you to open a little later. I had a sashimi set meal at the restaurant in the building for dinner. The volume and taste were good, but it was a pity that the essential sashimi was small. Breakfast, but fried satsuma and carpaccio are excellent. Carpaccio was a big sashimi than dinner. I think the breakfast here is of high grade.

the perfect remote place for onsen and sand bath relaxing treatment, fantastic rooms in Japanese style with all facility, great service twice daily, onsen bath with sea-side view at 5th floor of the hotel... restaurants and shops inside the hotel, bicycle available, restaurants and supermarkets in the near of the hotel, friendly hotel staff - just incedible nice and helpful !

A hot spring hotel near the sea, a ten-story Japanese-style sea view room, with an unobstructed sea view outside the window, the scenery is very good. I gave you a sand bath coupon for the hotel's own sand bath hot spring, so you don't even have to go to the Sand Le Hall. The specialty of Ibusuki is the sand bath. You can’t take pictures, so just use the pictures on the official website to take a look. You can soak for ten minutes at most, half the amount for children, and a staff member will wake you up when the time is up. The swimming pool is open during this season. The hotel has a free shuttle service to Ibusuki Station in the morning, leaving at 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. You need to make a reservation one day in advance. Dinner was Satsuma cuisine, which was exquisite, with fresh ingredients and delicious taste. Breakfast is buffet style. The Iwasaki Hotel next door actually had small fireworks on 8.12 nights, and I was lucky enough to catch them. The foreign girl at the front desk speaks very good English. She introduced herself as an expatriate from Dubai who has been working in Japan for 5 years. Now she speaks Japanese better than English 🙂

Renovation was underway in various locations, so, among other things, the sauna department could not be used.  One only got one bottle of water, only the first day of three; I asked the townsshoes for a bottle of water, partly because they didn't need to clean my room, but they said it included only one bottle of water the first day. Because of this, I chose to eat my 3 lunches in restaurants other than the resort, plus that I rented motorcycle elsewhere. It caused a loss of at least 15,000 Y for the resort, with lunch costing at least 3000 Y times 3 and motorcycle at least 6000 Y. Think what a bottle of water per day could have given in more profit.
