Aqua Garden Hotel Fukumaru

The hotel itself certainly feels a bit dated, but it is decent enough. Since it is close to the Sakurajima Ferry Terminal, it is an ideal choice for tourists visiting the area. The breakfast is home-style and was also delicious.

Clean, cozy, has everything you need. Breakfast is excellent.

The front desk staff were very polite, and the restaurant staff and cleaning staff on the first floor also greeted us warmly. They were also very kind to the children, and I was very impressed with the service! The meals at the restaurant, both breakfast and dinner, were Japanese style, generous in portion size, and delicious. The sashimi was especially fresh and delicious! There were many ingredients unique to Kagoshima, and I savored every bite, realizing that eating local food is one of the joys of traveling. (*´꒳`*) Furthermore, it's within walking distance of the Ioworld Aquarium and the Sakurajima Ferry Terminal, and a FamilyMart and tram stop are only about a 5-minute walk away, so I think it's a very good hotel in terms of location! (^^) However, I couldn't help but notice the age of the building and facilities... Those who are somewhat fastidious might find it bothersome. The unit bathroom in the guest room looks very clean at first glance, but there's a seam in the bathroom wall? There was some kind of black stain—whether rust, mold, or just a gap—right where the water hit, and it bothered me a little. Also, the base of the door guard on the front door was broken, so I couldn't lock it from the inside. The most disappointing thing was the public bath. My first reaction upon entering the changing room was, "Huh? A public bath???" because it was so small (^^;). There were about 10 baskets on shelves arranged in 3 rows of 5-6 tiers. In addition, there was a small sink and a shoe rack about 1 meter wide, but if more than 3 adults started changing in there, it would be incredibly cramped and everyone would be drenched in sweat. The changing room was probably less than 6 tatami mats in size. The bath itself was also very cramped, with only 5 showers arranged in a U-shape, so you'd get splashed with water from the person next to you. And what I absolutely couldn't stand was the bottles of rinse-in shampoo and body soap provided (；ω；) They were covered in black mold and I didn't want to touch them. I wanted to soak in the bath for a long time, but various things bothered me, so I got out after about 3 minutes... Then, two adults came in while I was changing, so the changing room became crowded, and instead of my sweating subsided, I ended up sweating even more, so I quickly changed and went back to my room... That would be unbearable in a bath during the summer (；ω；) The service and location deserve a perfect 5 stars (in fact, it's almost too many stars), but I'll rate the cleanliness, facilities, and amenities this way... I think it's more suitable for a solo trip than for a family vacation!

I felt it was an old inn. The taps made annoying noises and the indoor slippers were not new. However, the staff were very friendly. Breakfast was delicious and parking was cheap. It would have been even better if there were bottled water in the rooms.

建物やエントランスから時代を感じ、うーん、どうかなぁと思いつつ部屋に入るとまだまだ新しい畳にびっくり！お布団もサラサラでとっても清潔！ユニットバスも新しくて快適。ロビーの方々も丁寧で非常に好感が持てました。港に近いので島に渡る方には便利。天文館メインで遊びたい方には少し離れてるかもですが、飲んだ後、ちょっとした運動になる程度の距離です。残念だったのは大浴場。朝風呂に入れないと知らなかった私が悪かったのですが、これだけは残念（夜も22:30までで結局は入れなかったので…笑）。でも全体として、のんびりゆっくりできて非常に良かったです。ありがとうございました。

Отель удобно расположен, рядом с океанариумом, портом, куда приходят паромы из Якусимы (приплыли на нём), отсюда же отправляются паромы к вулкану Сакурадзима. Удобно ехать до парка Sengan-en, до центра - недалеко остановка автобусов. Отель не новый, но персонал поддерживает его в чистоте, удобный номер, хорошее постельное бельё, красивые одеяла, дают юкаты. В отеле есть даже свой маленький онсен на верхнем этаже, было приятно окунуться в него, чтобы снять усталость после прогулки. Завтрак подают индивидуально, вкусный, в японском стиле, напомнил нам кайсеки, красивая сервировка, много местных вкусных блюд. Персонал очень заботливый и приветливый, мы попали под сильный ливень из-за тайфуна, на входе нам сразу дали сухие полотенца чтобы вытереться.

とても対応良くしてもらいありがとうございました！ フェリー乗り場も近く、繁華街へも徒歩圏内なので便利でした。

鹿児島中央駅にも近いし、天文館も徒歩圏内、船にもすぐ乗れるので、立地よし
