As for cleanliness, the hotel is still new, so the room was very clean. One thing that bothered me was, was it a mistake by the cleaning staff? There were tea bags on the shelf in the room, but there was one tea bag on the shelf above it, which was neatly propped up. Are there two per room...?
The location is a bit of a walk from Yanigawa (about an 8-minute walk), but it might be good for multiple people! The location is not complicated, so you can find it easily. However, since it is outside the downtown area, there is nothing around...just another hotel or a ******** parlor! It is a bit dark, so it might be a bit scary for a woman to walk there alone. There is no convenience store nearby, so be careful!
The necessary facilities and amenities are available. There were separate pajamas for top and bottom. The bath was a type without a bathtub.
In terms of service, I had booked a single non-smoking room, but they upgraded me to a double room because there was a vacancy ^ ^
The location may be inconvenient,
but it's a great place for healing purposes.
The food is delicious and the view is amazing.
There are many stars in the evening, and in the summer, you can enjoy the pool, which seems even better. The hot springs in the hotel are free, and when there aren't many people,
I was alone and took a picture of the bath.
It felt like a private bath because I could enjoy it alone.
The hot springs while looking at the sea were the best.
The hot springs are open from 5 AM to 12 AM.
I'm so happy that they operate.
And most of all, the staff were really kind.
I was impressed that they greeted me from the time I arrived at the hotel until I left.
First, 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.
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.
Stayed in the standard double room.
Room was clean, and big enough to open 2 suitcases.
Good location, right beside a shopping street and close to many restaurants. ~10min drive from the city centre with all the large malls.
Only small downside was that the parking is off-site. About 5-7min walk away from the hotel.
Renovations were taking place in various places, so the sauna section, for example, could not be used.
You only got one bottle of water, only on the first day of three. I asked the maids for a bottle of water, partly because they didn't have to clean my room, but they said only one bottle was included the first day. Because of this, I chose to eat my 3 lunches in restaurants other than the resort's, plus I rented a motorbike elsewhere. It caused a loss of at least Y15,000 for the resort, as lunch costs at least Y3000 times 3 and motorbike at least Y6000. Think what a bottle of water per day could have brought in more profit.
The chicken rice for breakfast was delicious. The sea view is wonderful. There was no drinking water pet in the refrigerator. It would be nice if it was also at the front desk with the menu images for breakfast and dinner.
My expectation is to have a bathroom inside and a private Onsen in the afternoon and morning. But hotel policy provides only private Onsen in the afternoon.
The hotel food is perfect and has a nice taste. A staff can speak English very well and is helpful.
The front desk and cleaning were very kind and the amenities were abundant and I was very happy.
I was worried because there was no car, but I was very helpful with renting a bicycle. Also, it was very convenient because there was a hotel in front of the station.
I would like to use it again when I go to Izumi! (^o^)
Thank you! !!
It's a 5-6 minute walk from Kagoshima Chuo Station, making it very accessible. The airport bus terminal is also a 5-minute walk away, making it even more convenient. The staff are friendly, and the cleanliness is excellent. Breakfast was disappointing, with almost the same food served every day. The hotel's exterior is currently under construction, so the views from the rooms are not great. When I first entered the hotel and opened the curtains, I was surprised to see construction workers right in front of my window. The train noise was loud, and worst of all, the Wi-Fi was barely usable and frequently disconnected, which was incredibly annoying.
Great

Very Good
ええりぽんI used this hotel for a short trip with my husband after work (we wanted to go to Kirishima Shrine)!
First, we were given a welcome drink of sweet potato shochu and tea, typical of Kagoshima, and everyone was having a good time. I also had some tea, and the staff were very polite and I felt that they were proud of the hotel. ^_^
First, we went to the family bath, and it was a very relaxing space where we could relax.
There was a coffee meal set, and I had never made my own coffee, but I was able to spend a relaxing time enjoying delicious coffee! The wonderful tools make it a picture. ♪
The large public bath was also okay. I went there thinking it would be just normal and clean, but it was very Japanese and stylish, and had a different atmosphere from the hotel's front desk and rooms, and it was very nice! There were several types of amenities to choose from, such as shampoo, and I thought, wow! I wanted to try this! I was happy.
My husband is tall. I wrote that in the comments section, and they prepared loungewear in a larger size for us, and we had a much more enjoyable time than we expected!
My husband doesn't go to hot springs very often, but
it was so good that I forced him to go, and he was so happy too! (*Ü*)♡
I'm really glad we were able to make some good memories♪
SShalajiangfanqiejiangThe river view room has a beautiful scenery, with an extremely clear blue-green river outside the window. Breakfast and dinner are fresh local ingredients, mainly fish. There is a bus stop at the door: Ohara Town.
GGuest UserSplendid sea view from a beautiful, large, bedroom.
2 beds instead of one big. This could have been better to me.
Service is excellent. People are nice, always trying to help, being resourceful on how you may handle your visit of the island. Top notch people.
The real ”could be better” thing to me is, the restaurant that close really early (8.30pm if my memory is good), does server only buffet for 80kY.
The buffet is of quality mixing Japanese, Chinese and Western styles of food. And also comes with nice desserts.
However, having the choice to get only one A la carte dish could be a real plus. I personally do not want to get a full buffet for every and each of my diners.
And if you do not have a car, finding another place to eat may become a challenge. There is nothing around at a walking distance except a supermarket.
The breakfast is definitely qualitative. And if you intend to move early for visiting, the hotel can prepare you a breakfast and a lunch box for no overcharge. Basic but good and appreciated.
To have another plus, they serves a local craft beer made with local cedar trees. Quite a good and interesting one.

HHuifeideyuerbushanggouThe hotel offers a shuttle service, which makes getting around very convenient. Right outside the hotel, there's a tram stop that takes you to the pier, where you can catch a boat to Sakurajima for sightseeing. The hotel's breakfast is quite substantial, with plenty of fruit, and the golden kiwi was especially sweet. All the staff were attentive and thoughtful. The hotel also has a free gym, and right next door is a hot spring ♨️ where you can enjoy a full soak or a foot bath; the spa services, however, are paid. Overall, everything was excellent. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit. I hope for friendship between China and Japan and world peace 🤝🏻
GGuest UserEnvironment: 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.
AAnonymous UserI was extremely satisfied with my stay at JR Kyushu Hotel Kagoshima! The absolute highlight was its incredible convenience – the hotel is directly located inside Kagoshima-Chuo Station. It truly lives up to 'step off the train, step into the hotel,' making it super easy to access the Shinkansen, city trams, or the airport bus. This was particularly great for someone like me with a tight schedule.
Even better, the hotel seamlessly connects to AMU PLAZA Kagoshima, which is right above the station. Shopping, dining, and drugstores are all there, making it incredibly easy to grab dinner and souvenirs without having to venture out into the sun or rain. It was a completely hassle-free, one-stop experience.
Despite being in the heart of a transportation hub, the soundproofing in the room was surprisingly good. Once the door was closed, I could barely hear any noise from the station or the mall, making for a very quiet night's rest. While the room facilities weren't brand new, they were clean, tidy, and fully functional, with everything I needed, making for a very comfortable stay.
Overall, this is a highly recommended hotel that perfectly balances convenience and practicality with great value for money. I strongly suggest it to anyone traveling independently to Kagoshima!
GGuest UserEveryone is very friendly and it's nice at home.
The rice is very good and the beach is nearby, so it is perfect for spending a luxurious time.
This room is a wooden house with high ceilings and a touch of woody fragrance. The ceiling fan invites you to travel.
Taking a step to the balcony, the stars look very beautiful, and the sounds of various creatures come and go.
I feel that I have found something forgotten in my city life.
I want to live longer.
Thank you very much for picking up from the airport.
If you come to Ammei, please be sure to stay, I will recommend it.
GGuest UserEven though this is an old hotel and it shows in its facilities and overall design, the service and amenities you get as a solo traveller is worth thw price you pay for an overnight stay. The room is clean albeit small but sufficient. Some points to take note if you're planning to book:
This is close to the central station so it's juat a block away from major shopping and transport options.
The hotel closes its front desk and doors at 11 pm to 7 am. Checkin before 11 pm. Going in and out of the hotel at that time is possible if you use your key card to open the front doors.
Walls are thin and it's very possible that you would hear your neighbor.
There's free coffee and drinks at the lobby.
