Hotel Ibusuki dengan Kolam Renang

Pro - offer unique hot sand onsen until 9pm, must try. Room is clean, specious, if you select sea view, you get best sun rise view from the sea. Inclusive dinner and breakfast were nice. Public onsen is as good. Con - description of room at *********** is misleading, indicating as a room with private toilet and bathroom, but in fact, only private toilet and no private bathroom. Only public bathroom in this hotel. Much misleading here for those not familiar with Japanese onsen hotels.

I write this in the midst of the great pandemic of 2019-2022 ? I was fortunate enough to squeeze through the stringent Covid protocols to enter Japan for a brief period of time during December of the year 2021. I had always wanted to see Southern Kyushu, and so we were looking for a centrally located place on the southern peninsula. The Iwasaki Hotel looked fantastic on the brochures and website but was at a much lower price point than the more opulent Ibusuki Hakusuikan. We booked a triple room on the 5th floor of this curvy retro futuristic behemoth and settled in to its aging but comfortable rooms. Looking more like a hotel befitting the coast of Kā‘anapali, there is definitely a Hawaiian vibe to the meticulous tropical landscaping and room appointments. Devoid of tourists, the emptiness of this vast hotel was a little spooky. In its heyday one could imagine hordes of happy Japanese vacationers taking in the endless venues for activities like black sand “bathing” golfing, huge natural looking pools surrounded by tropical foliage and a HUGE arcade of noisy, brilliantly lit games of every sort and color. There is a virtual shopping mall in the basement with locally produced omiage and clothing shops to suit any taste in fashion. There is even a full sized bowling alley ! The weird part was that despite every shop being fully staffed, there were absolutely no customers. Each time we would walk by, the staff looked eager even if we took a passing interest in their wares. I almost felt sorry that I couldn’t load up my suitcase with useless trinkets just to give them a sale. The vast dining room was beautiful. With a extensive wall of windows facing the sea, the views were spectacular and the staff very attentive to our every need. We had a very nice yaki niku dinner with a wide assortment of Kobe beef and seafood. The Kirin Ichiban was icy cold. Sure this place is showing it’s age. I’m not sure how long they will be able to stay in existence without a serious influx of money and tourists, but it was a very interesting time capsule of Japan’s opulent heyday of excess. It’s definitely worth a stay unless you’re fearful of long dark hallways of empty rooms, rusting spiral staircases, and spookily silent bowling alleys. PLEASE go visit this place. The grounds are gorgeous, the staff are attentive and the rooms are clean with beautiful views toward the sea. This place won’t be around for long unless YOU come to visit !

すべてにおいて細かやな配慮が感じられ、素晴らしいお宿でした。何よりお食事がとてもおいしく、今回の旅行が素晴らしいものとなった一因でもありました。担当の中居さんの笑顔も素敵で、チェックアウトの際には駐車場まで見送っていただき、車が見えなくなるまで手を振っていただきました。娘二人がまだ幼いころ住んでいた鹿児島を二人の結婚を機に再訪し、思い出を再確認する旅でしたが、こちらのお宿のおかげでまた思い出が一つ増え、素晴らしい旅となりました。お食事をする部屋も娘の名前にちなんで選んでくださり(めずらしい名前なのでたぶんご配慮いただいたものと思います)感動しました。旅行が好きでいままで多くの宿泊施設に泊まりましたが、上位３本の指に入ると思います。機会があればまた訪れたいお宿でした。

今回初めて利用させてもらいましたー 従業員皆さんも良くて満足でしたー 砂風呂までの移動が少し時間かかりますか、身体の芯まで温まって最高でした また行きたいです

4月3日に宿泊 夜食を予約していなかったのにお願いしたら心良く承諾されて頂き感謝しております。 よる遅くまでお酒の席にお付き合いしていただきありがとうございました。 今回の旅は天候に恵まれず残念でしたが良い思い出が出来ました。 ご主人様の心使いには感謝しております。 ただ2点だけ残念な所をありましたので申し上げます。 ①部屋の洗面所にコップがなかった。歯磨きの後にうがいが出来ずの点 ②家族風呂の湯は源泉で大変温まり素晴らしかったですが、早朝に入った時に 　お湯がぬるかったのには残念でした。源泉の蛇口を捻れば熱いお湯が出る事の 　説明をして欲しかった。でも大変すばらしいお湯に感動しました。
