Sakurajima Seaside Hotel

Onsen facilities

Rooms and hotel were a bit run down

The quilt is thin & suitable, this is very important as other hotel's are too thick, too hot to sleep. And room view is great

The room is comparatively too small...and onsen water is not hot enough

Both breakfast and dinner meals were fantastic! All the food was prepared fresh and catered to local delicacies and the presentation exceeded my expectations. Hot springs facilities were good - I enjoyed the outdoor bath!

The building itself is a bit outdated, but it didn't affect the overall enjoyment of our stay. The bathroom in our room was a bit cramped.

The staff are so nice, the food is amazing and the sea view is spectacular, I just love the feel and the smell of a traditional room.

Everything is good , only the down side is the futon a bit thin.

A Japanese-style room with a superb view over the Kagoshima bay. Although not directly visible from our room the close presence of Sakurajima volcano could clearly be felt. The building clearly shows its age with some damage-marks from the rough volcanic activity but the stay was comfortable. Authentic in- and outdoor onsens. The staff was extremely attentive and helpful. Location very close to a bus stop and the bikes (including a couple of electrical bikes in the selection) are available for rental to explore the island more closely. The meal service was very exotic from the perspective of a non-Japanese guest.

It not only old but it is a ruin. The onsen was ok (although the lockers etc were dusty and moldy) but the hotel part should definitely be closed or the price should be divided by 4 or 5. I am used to stay at old hotels that had their finest hour long time ago, but with this hotel we reached another level: old lobby, old dusty and smelly hallway, old and moldy room,… The only bath the seemed available was the one downstairs. I don’t think it is possible to access all the baths with the splendid view as they appear on the pictures.

I loved the location, view of the ocean, and the on-site onsen!

hot spring pools were small but nice and cozy, with great view of the ocean.

the outside looked a bit run down
