Hotel 2 Bintang di Kirishima

全室露天風呂完備で、リファのドライヤーで女子は絶対嬉しい温泉で肌も髪もツルツルです。 食事は離れで完全個室食、味も量も全部満足。 外に喫煙所もあるので、スモーカーも安心 住宅街の中に、急に現れる温泉旅館です。 食事も10分ずらしてスタートするので、プライベートが全て守られて全宿泊者と全く顔を合わせることがありません。地酒も美味しい、サントリー山崎、与市、碧とウイスキーも高級酒取り揃えてます。 温泉は45度で熱めですが、水で薄めて温度を下げれば何時間でも入っていられる。 温泉種類が重炭酸水なので、角質を落としてくれる効果があるので、肌が本当にツルツルです。 じゃらんの九州地方で毎年上位に上がっているらしく選んで本当に良かったです。 霧島に泊まることがあればまた行きたい宿です。

A very old hotel from the looks of it. Check-in was done in an Izakaya adjacent to the hotel, as the reception was closed for some reason. The room itself was in quite a shocking condition. Stains on the carpet, duvet cover; scuffs all over walls and bathroom floors; the shower head was falling off its hinges and had to be held to have any kind of decent wash and the water spurted in a dozen different directions, annoyingly. TV was not used but had a note beside it saying that it doesn’t turn off properly. The problems were quite endless. Location-wise, served it’s purpose by being walking distance from Kagoshima airport. I doubt it would be of any use to people wanting to go to Kagoshima city proper. The old lady owner was very kind, though.

Those who really love hot springs gather here. You will be surprised with the amount of spring water! 500 L hot spring water is flowing abundantly to the bath every minute.

スタッフが親切に対応してくれました。 郊外型のゲストハウスではありますが、オシャレで清潔感があります。 レストランが併設されていて、イベントで使用されるゲストも多いようでした。

A hotel with easy access where is located in front of Kokubu station on the Nippo Main Line.

괜찮았어요~

Tired, crowded with grubby carpets but a great buffet and sweet staff. Some renovation has clearly taken place in this building, for example the 3rd floor dining room and the lobby. But our bedroom bathroom was not clean and the fittings were clearly very old. I do understand that the acidity from the volcanic emissions attacks metal fittings but that doesn't explain the dirt in the corners and margins of carpets, the stains on the ceilings and the dirty coverings on fans and speakers so easily replaced. The staff however were absolutely lovely, especially on reception. The hotel was extremely busy with happy multigenerational families enjoying the onsen. The breakfast and dinner buffet was first class. A fabulous variety of fresh produce served in Japanese style with some Western choices too. Generous and it kept coming throughout both sittings. We tried a private bath, old, slimy and lagged in deposits. The public onsen was better. We took a bus up the hill to the Ebino Plateau and walked among the volcanoes, and enjoyed coffee and the fabulous eco-museum. It was all gorgeous, although the path from Mount Karakunidake to Omari pond is very steep.

We had a great time at Ryokojin Sanso. The hotel is beautifully decorated, with a vintage vibe, around the theme of travel. There are several displays on the walls with travel phography or books illustrating this theme. There are also several pleasant reading rooms, with big libraries at the disposal of the hotel's customers. Beautiful gardens and terraces with views on Kagoshima and Sakurajima. The food is very good and generousyl served and the views from the restaurant are magnificent. And, cherry on the cake, the private onsens in the middle of the nature are fantastic. And many thanks to the team who welcomed us very kindly.

さくらさくら温泉は、鹿児島県霧島市霧島田口（かごしまけんきりしましきりしまたぐち）にあるホテルだ。天然泥温泉が特徴になっている。 2021年11月14日、この日は霧島神宮（きりしまじんぐう）に参拝した。 そこから車で、さくらさくら温泉にやってきた。駐車場はとても広い。この日宿泊する本館に到着。内部はこんな感じ。チェックインは母屋で済ませて、ここに移動してくるシステム。 部屋は2階なのだが、なんとエレベーターがないという(汗；)荷物が多い我々には、つらい状況だ・・・新型コロナウイルスのせいで、係員は手伝ってくれないので年寄りには大変だ。この日は、213号室に宿泊。8畳の和室だ。窓からの景色は、こんな感じ。設備は冷蔵庫と湯沸かし器。テレビとクローゼット。洗面台。トイレは温水便座。 さっそく温泉に入ってきた。ここは天然泥温泉が特徴になっていて、泥パックがあった。さらに美しくなってしまいました（笑）ツルツルでしょ。夕食会場に向かう。温泉も夕食会場もいちいち母屋に行かないといけないのが、かなり面倒。雨とか冬の寒い日とかは、つらそうだ。ライトアップはキレイだ。夕食会場に到着。鍋料理だ。豚しゃぶだという。鶏のつみれ。黒豚だそうだ。その他にも刺身などが来た。もちろんビールも（笑）締めのフルーツ。 翌朝、ふたたび母屋に移動。朝食会場に向かう。この日は肌寒い。結局、母屋まで5往復だ(汗；)夕食と同じ場所で朝食をいただく。バイキング形式で納豆などをチョイスできるシステム。これで13,000円は、ちょっと高めかな。チェックアウトし、車で先に進んだ。

I stayed with wife at this highly disappointing hotel after flying into kagoshima. They say on their website free parking if available They do not tell you thete are only 5 or 6 free spots then you have to pay for parking next door which will cost at least 700 yen The young man at the desk was not helpful after I asked about where to park the car with their free parking The room was supposed to be a twin but was extremelysmall and the beds were very hard The shower pressure was non existant and made a sound like a mosquito
