Overall, there is an outdoor public hot spring pool, and the room has a private pool. Breakfast and dinner are available. Food is not a buffet, but the hotel provides it. Only when the meal is opened on the same day, you know what food is provided. The taste is OK.

The hotel waiters were very polite and helped us carry us to the room. The hot spring rooms are all independent, with two indoor rooms and two open-air rooms. The open-air room has natural wind and is very comfortable. Breakfast and kaiseki meals are served in separate rooms. Very satisfied with this stay.

Guest UserOur stay at Kirishima Onsen Ryokojin Sanso was absolutely wonderful. The hotel is beautifully situated on a hill and easily accessible by car. The spacious rooms and amazing onsen facilities were impressive, especially the private outdoor onsen in the forest, which we enjoyed in the evening when it was dark – a truly phenomenal experience.
The authentic food was another highlight, beautifully presented and truly delicious. We highly recommend Kirishima Onsen Ryokojin Sanso for anyone seeking a serene and authentic Japanese onsen experience.

Guest UserThe hotel was very clean and the hospitality was excellent. It was a shame that it rained heavily on our first day, but perhaps because of that, we were able to check in earlier than expected, which allowed us to relax comfortably. The complimentary ice cream and ramen were a pleasant surprise. The staff were all very attentive and polite, making for a truly enjoyable holiday. I would definitely love to visit again. Thank you!

DennisfishFirst, we loved the onsen and its services, where we soaked in three pools of different temperatures, sweated in a sauna, then alternately cooled ourselves in cold baths.
Second, room services were excellent despite its furnishings seemed to be run down a bit.
Third, its location is central to travel most places of interest, which spreads out in Kagoshima Prefecture.

Guest UserThe staff were very friendly, and both the hot springs and meals offered a great variety, which was very satisfying. However, I couldn't sleep because of the loud steam from the hot spring visible from my room. On the bright side, the newly opened sand bath made my body feel much lighter. That facility was new and clean, and the open-air bath had a lovely, traditional atmosphere.

Guest UserApart from the dated room, everything was good. The hotel was set at a beautiful and tranquil cypress woodlands. Dinner and breakfast were good. The highlight of this hotel was its gigantic hot spring garden. The water was so good that we would come back for the hot spring experience.

BrianDellConveniently close to where you can take a bus to the airport. There is a microwave on the ground floor.
My one complaint is that the cedar bath could not used as others had already reserved it for the whole evening and there aren’t any day use onsens close by.

Environment: The hotel boasts an excellent environment, particularly with the in-room rotenburo (open-air bath). The private dining room adds to the exclusive feel. Its location within a quiet community ensures a peaceful and relaxing stay.
Staff: A significant advantage for international travelers is the availability of English-speaking staff. Their willingness to communicate through messaging apps makes pre-arrival arrangements and on-site communication smooth and efficient.
Transportation: Direct airport bus service to a nearby bus stop offers convenient access to the hotel. However, it's important to check the bus schedule in advance, as departures are infrequent. Planning accordingly will ensure a hassle-free transfer.
Location: The hotel's location provides the convenience of being close to a convenience store, just a short five-minute walk away. This makes it easy to pick up any necessities or snacks.
Pricing: The pricing is reasonable, especially when considering the exceptional amenities included. The private rotenburo is a luxurious highlight, and the inclusion of both a fabulous breakfast and an elaborate, multi-course dinner (12+ courses) represents excellent value.
