Kagoshima Prefecture hotels & places to stay

I booked a room of Dormy Inn Kagoshima for 2 days, and i was very satisfied by many kinds of services that the hotel gave me. Staffs are very kind and they always asked me whether i felt unconvenience. condition of Hot spring was always good, but available time is too short in the morning, because i usually want to take a shower after 10 o clock, but at that time, hot spring closed. But others are very satisfied. If I go to Kagoshima once again, I'm gonna reserve Dormy Inn Kagoshima once again happily.

The room is quite small, but I just need to pay about HKD$330/night. The location is nice, very convenience. It just takes about 20 minutes to walk to Kagoshima-Chou. The staff is very helpful. The facilities are great. You can choose the shampoo and conditioner you like in the lobby(Hotel also provide small containers). And there are 7 kinds of pillows on each floor for us borrow. The services are very nice. Even I ask them not to clean up my room, I find some new towels and toothbrushes etc. were packed well and hanged outside my room when I go back to hotel in the evening. I will stay in this hotel when I travel to Kagoshima again.

The airport bus stops, depending on direction of travel, are located next door and opposite, the tram stops for trams that run between the Shinkansen and Kagoshima Stations are right in front and it is a 15 minute walk to the ferry ports. The hotel is located in the middle of the main Kagoshima shopping district surrounded by large department stores, covered shopping malls and hundred yen shops. The hotel has coin operated laundry facilities and drink vending machines. My double room was very comfortable, clean, and extremely well supplied with tea and coffee making, clothes press, internet LAN cable, hair dryer, personal toothbrushes and comfort sets, controllable air conditioner, etc etc. The staff at reception were very helpful and welcoming and went out of their way to telephone various tourist sites to check on opening times when they were unsure. Most of them had a reasonable grasp of English. My rate included breakfast which was located in the restaurant on the ground floor. On offer was a choice of 4 set menus and buffet style side dishes to go with them. There were no cereals, but there was a choice of tea and coffee, fresh fruit, fruit juice, salads, cold tofu and pickles/condiments, as well as bread, butter and jams. The staff in the restaurant were efficient, but were reluctant about speaking English. They were relieved when they realised I understood some Japanese. Would I stay at the Richmond Hotel Kagoshima again? Most definitely.

Remm Kagoshima is on the main street of Kagoshima City. Shopping areas is just downstairs. Excellent design features right from entrance to the room. There are a lot of user-friendly design inside the room, for example, multi-plug charger, massage chair, washroom is close to the windows while keeping the sleeping area in the inner part of the room, etc. Room size is Japanese standard and bed is comfortable for couples. If you drive to Remm, please make sure you choose Kagoshima entrance as destination as the car park entrance is located at inner street. Remm charges 1200YEN for over-night parking. You may opt to park at a car park next to Remm. That car park entrance is on the main street. We did not Dine at Remm. So the score does not count.

This hotel is clean and professional. I would highly recommend getting the view of Sakurajima, which you can see from your room while you sip a cup of tea. I would highly recommend the breakfast buffet, which is cheaper if you get tickets in advance. A good selection of both Japanese and Western foods with good service too. There is a good cluster of restaurants across the road from the hotel along with a convenience store. The only bummer is that the hotel is a wee bit away from the main areas in Kagoshima but there is a bus stop just outside. Make sure you get bus information from the tourist desk at Kagoshima Chuo station. They're really helpful, and if you catch a taxi to the hotel, ensure the driver knows it's tokyu hotel not tokyu inn.

Went to Kagoshima to do some sightseeing. The location was amazing! You can take the airport bus to Kagoshima Chou Station and the hotel is right next to the bus stop. It is very convenient. Although the room was a bit small (standard size in Japan) it was incredibly comfortable with amazing views! The volcanic side is very beautiful! Didn't have a chance to try the hotel food... You can also buy a 1000 yen movie card if you are tired of doing sightseeing and want to relax. You can watch multiple movies until 11am the next morning. Mount Sakurajima is close enough to get to from this hotel. The staff was very friendly. I was there on a long weekend so a lot of the popular restaurants needed to be reserved ahead of time. One restaurant in the area that I would recommend is called Sou (Black Himegyu beef) it was an absolutely delicious yakiniku restaurant in the Shotengai area. Also there is a place that has 25 little restaurants all in one area that offer specialty foods of Kagoshima that is within about a 5 minute walk from the hotel. It is a very cool area.

The hotel is located 20 minutes walk from Kagoshima-Chuo station in a sidelane. In the evening there are a lot of restaurants in the surround. The sights of Kagoshima are easy to reach by tram or just walking. The Blue Wave Inn is a good hotel which a lot of services for the guests, rooms are nice, clean and spacey. Reception is friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my stay as a good base to explore Kagoshima an surround.

The hotel location is right in the heart of the commercial area, just 1 minutes walk from the Tenmonkan tram station. The shopping street is just downstairs, you can get everything you want with within a few minutes and there are lots of restaurants nearby. The hotel restaurant offered 4 choices of semi buffet breakfast, including the Kagoshima famous roasted Kurobuta rice, it was so tasty. Staff were friendly, room was clean and reasonably priced. Would recommend it to friends.

I stayed at this hotel for one night with my wife. We were in town for our kids' swim meet that was taking place at the Kamoike Park Pool. The room was small, but clean, with a double bed. The best thing about the hotel is the location. It is connected to Kagoshima Chuo station, so it was literally a 1 minute walk from exiting the Shinkansen gates to get to the hotel entrance. The hotel lobby is beautiful, and the staff were attentive and polite (as always in Japan). And there were at least 3 staff at the front desk every time we walked by. To get to the pool, you can take a bus from bus stop 15 (located on the east side of the station). The number 11 bus goes straight there (15-20 min, ￥190 one way). The first morning we took a taxi, which took 10-15 min and cost a little over ￥1000. There is a really big gift shop just outside of the hotel exit into the station, with everything you could need in terms of gifts. A great place and will stay again!

From hotel lobby and onsen we can get nice view of Kagoshima Bay. Hotel is rigid about check-in time at 3 pm and also called ahead to remind us of check-out time at 10 am. Staff also called us for breakfast as we'd overslept and when we got to the dining room they already got our breakfast ready so could enjoy our meal straightaway. Hotel also recommended us nice Japanese restaurants for dinner and voucher for complimentary drinks at the restaurants.

I spent 3 nights in Kagoshima, visiting Sakurajima once and focusing the rest of my time on Meiji restoration tourism and Japanese history. The Hotel was a couple tram stops from the JR Kagoshima station, quick enough to reach on foot even with a large rucksack and really close to everything in general. Located on a busy street, there were lots of shops and restaurants available nearby, including a souvenir store. The room was smallish but good enough for me, everything was clean and the staff in the lobby offer a free wifi modem. Expensive teppanyaki restaurant at the top of the hotel, but the quality is worth it.

The hotel is very close to Kagoshimachuo station (5 minute walk); ie the last and southernmost Shinkansen terminal in Japan. We could see the Shinkansen plaform from our room. Note that Kagoshimachuo and Kagoshima stations are two different station in the same city; the latter is far smaller, older and is less important. You'll pass by a Bic Camera store upon exiting the train station on the way to the hotel. We found the hotel clean. Can't complain about the size as it's typical for standard rooms to be small in Japan. The check in process was fast. Amenities were adequate. Overall we're happy with the hotel. We did not have much time to explore the city but we spent the evening visiting Sakurajima (Sakura Island). Being a JR Pass holder, the best way (free and fastest) to get to the ferry terminal was to take the local JR train from Kagoshimachuo station to Kagoshima station (just the next station). From there we had to walk for like 10 minutes

Went for 3 days for relaxing. Great view up to Kagoshima with good conditions. Visible from all rooms and the restaurant. Many different private onsen with nice views of their own. Food was great (japan ryokan style). Also staff very attentive and committed. Went hiking for onami pond, which was a stunning location. All in all perfect time. Access without own car is possible via Taxi from Kirishima jingu station.

When you book online it is difficult to know what you will be getting. Sunflex was one of the best hotels we stayed in while on our trip around Kyushu. Firstly the location in Kagoshima was brilliant, being just walking distance to shops and the waterfront. It was a quiet location too. The room was not as small as some, as it had a small entrance a queen size bed and a two seater sofa. Tea and coffee making facilities, a wardrobe and adequate bathroom gave us what we needed. The bed was most comfortable and the pillows were lovely. The bedside lamps work well for reading and the air conditioning was perfect. Best of all were the lovely friendly and helpful staff and the car parking was free. I couldn't fault this place. I highly recommend it and would stay here again if I ever get the chance to revisit Kagoshima.

i cant ask for more with the price i paid for. all staff are welcoming, thoughtful, helpful and approachable. the staff's level of English is not high but good enough for communication. Like most Japanese, they tried their very best to make my stay feel like home. The manager passed me a coupon for visiting the flower garden and saved me 90 yen. He gave me and my husband two little gifts after knowing that this is our anniversary trip. i was touched and overjoyed. although the building and facilities are sort of aged but they are well maintained and clean. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wishes to visit Ibusuki.

Sankara would be an exceptional "find" anywhere in the world. We stayed for four nights in October 2012. This was our 25th trip to Japan but our first to Yakushima. Our butler met us at the airport and drove us to the resort for a welcome drink and a package of maps and island information. Each villa has two floors and we were on the first floor. It was total comfort--from the beds to the marble bathroom. It looked just like the photos on the website. Breakfast and dinner were included in the villa price. Each breakfast offered a nice buffet selection and eggs made to order. Dinners are set course menus starting with tiny servings of delicious soups and other appetizers, followed by fish and meat courses and dessert. On our fourth night, we paid an extra fee to eat in the upstairs dining room where meals are prepared by a French-trained chef and his staff working in an open kitchen. Each party had different place settings and received totally different multi-course set meals. You get a printed menu with your personal meal. Our dinner was just exquisite. We were able to rent a car right at the hotel each day and pay by the hour, which was very convenient. Our butler helped us choose hiking routes, and when I asked where to buy nontouristy works of sugi wood like those displayed in the hotel, he made an appointment for us to visit a local craftsman. After two days of hiking I tried a "Thai traditional massage" in the hotel spa, which is another beautifully refined part of the Sankara property. Overall, our experience was just great.

Friendly, relaxed hot spring hotel; common areas are elegant and cozy; great rooftop bath with view of Mt. Shiroyama; professional staff. Only drawback is slightly far from the main train station. Also, the western-style single rooms probably leave a bit to be desired compared to the other types, all of which appeared to be much nicer; but I have no complaints as the rate I paid was very reasonable.

This is a nice ryokan, with river scenery. The meals are of add on charges, but of great quality. If you're not staying in any ryokan but deciding if you should for this hotel, book this! The rooms are not new, but it's clean. Futons are also comfortable, so don't worry about sleeping on a hard floor. There are also indoor hotsprings separately for men/women, shoe dryer (perfect as Yakushima rains alot), rental for hiking gear/bicycle. There is a bus stop just outside of the hotel, which makes it easy to commute (being that there's only 3 times a day that the bus goes on the route, so you definitely cannot miss your bus). It's about 15-20 mins walk from the port. There are quite a few restaurants to dine in for dinner nearby.
