2-Star Hotels in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan

"Delightful hotel in the heart of Amami city. All staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful - especially when we had to extend our stay due to Typhoon Dolphin. Rooms are a lovely size, clean and amenities available on the ground floor. There is also a bath house and sauna which is a bonus! If you are a female traveller, be sure to ask front desk for a new code as it changes daily. Highly recommended. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Amamioshima! Thank you for a wonderful stay."

"I was glad I could book a room with breakfast included at a reasonable price! The room and the entire place were very clean, which was great. It's close to Tenmonkan and the Sakurajima ferry terminal, so I think it's a good location for tourists. The artificial carbonated hot spring was nice, but I wish they would keep the carbonation going until around 11 PM. After sightseeing and eating, it inevitably gets late when you go back to the hotel to prepare for a bath. Also, the door to the public bath has to be closed completely by hand, and since most public bath doors tend to close with a spring, people often left the door half-open one after another, so it might be good to put up a sign on the door asking people to close it completely. The staff and the parking attendant were all very friendly and nice. However, it would be nice if the parking fee was a little cheaper. It would be great if there were a discount for consecutive nights on parking."

"Snacks are so full. It's along the national highway, but I think it's quite quiet. (I don't know if the room near the road is good) It's good because it's close to the interchange of Higashi Kyushu Road. I went to the bowl and the waka for dinner. I recommend it."

"I used it for my first trip to Shanghai. The room is clean and the location is very good. However, there are no supermarkets or night street lights, so be careful of the time zone when walking near the hotel. I heard that there was an ATM, but it wasn't. I was able to leave my luggage before check-in and go sightseeing early. Overall recommended."

"What a surprisingly wonderful old ryokan! Operating for a century, its interior boasts a rich Showa-era charm. It definitely feels historic but is spotlessly clean. The true highlight was breakfast, which unexpectedly featured pork shabu-shabu. The broth was made with genuine, high-quality ingredients, and the yuzu kosho was locally sourced. Paired with the black pork, it was absolutely delicious! 😋"

"This was my first time staying at this hotel, visiting my aunt. It's been years since I've stayed in Kagoshima (everything about the scenery has changed so much since I was a child...)←It's changed so much in just a few years... I remember this hotel used to be Tokyu Inn... (this was decades ago though...) So...it's a long-established hotel, so some people might be concerned about the small details??? (soundproofing←you can hear people's voices in the hallway a lot, and the usual door opening and closing sounds with the neighbors, and vibrations from above...)←I was alone, so I understand that it was easier to hear sounds... It seems to be well-cleaned, but...the only thing that bothers me is...the black dots in the joints around the bathtub are a bit bothersome ^^; The scenery can be said for Kagoshima city in general, but... It has become so modernized that you can no longer see Sakurajima in its entirety from anywhere like before...it's a little sad...I feel nostalgic thinking that Sakurajima must have been visible diagonally from the window of my room in the past... Unfortunately, the view from the window is similar to that of a business hotel in the city, so I gave it a bad review (-_-;) The staff at the front desk were very friendly and answered my questions kindly, and I felt a warmth from them that is a little different from the business-like attitude of city hotels (^o^) ← Most people in Kagoshima are kind, so if you get lost when sightseeing or where to find a bus stop, please ask the locals around you (not 100% guaranteed though ^^;) I think you'll be happy with the kindness of others (^o^) ※ The photo I posted (a photo of Aeon, almost directly in front of Kagoshima Chuo Station) Do not cross over to the Aeon side, turn your back to Kagoshima Chuo Station and walk along the road on your left for less than 5 minutes ~ There is a tram stop right in front of the hotel (^o^) ※ Within Kagoshima city, you can take a tram or a bus (there are two other bus companies operating buses in addition to the city bus, so even if you are going to the same place, the stop may be the same depending on the bus company. (←We recommend that you check the number before boarding) ※If you are staying for a few days, we recommend purchasing an IC card (regular IC cards cannot be used) Their own IC cards are sold at the bus terminals in Tenmonkan and Kagoshima Chuo Station, so I think it will be easier to get on and off if you charge it and use it~^^; Anyway, Kagoshima city used to be centered on trams... but now it's almost only the line that runs right next to it... buses are the main means of transportation (it's like Kyoto ←Kagoshima doesn't have a subway...JR is the only train other than the tram^^;)"

"The room was very relaxing and I feel that the quality of the hot springs was also effective for skin roughness. I spent a little hurry, but I really wanted to spend more time in the room while looking at the ferry. The clothes in the hall were also prepared for each size of the original 々 room, but I felt very kind to prepare a small size for my 々 small parents and children. Even if you stay without meals, there is an A-corp nearby, so it is quite easy to get food from Kagoshima such as Campach (sashimi). I bought Chiran tea here as a souvenir. The only thing that's really unfortunate is the laundry facilities. Both washing machines and dryers are cheap at 100 yen (payment at the hot spring reception), but they are very ordinary home appliances, and the dryer is certainly 200 yen and does not dry even if it turns for nearly an hour. It is said that it should not be turned for more than an hour, and it can't be helped by raising it with half drying ... It doesn't matter if the price is high, so I hope you will consider introducing a washing dryer for commercial use. But other than that, I really really liked it. I will definitely go to stay again."

"I can't contact Trip, so I'm uploading here. When making a reservation, you will be required to pay by prepayment, and after repayment on site, the contract also states that the card payment will be canceled when checking out. They said they didn't know. I'm traveling, so I'll contact you again."

"Let’s start with good things. There is little kitchen you can use. There is free tea. There are two showers and one toilet room near the former entrance. Washing machine is free. The place is opened 24 hours. Wifi is fine. The mat and pillow are comfy. English-friendly. Now, some bad things. It seems that the place knew much better days. Now, as many others, it became a home for those who work, not travel. It means it is still noisy after 22:00 in the dorm room. Guys can turn on the lights and leave them on. Locker doors slamming, etc. A few tenants did not care about clearing shower after them, same with the toilet slippers that are mandatory but tenants use the ordinary ones. If you are sensitive for this, consider choosing another place or at least a private room."

"The whole trip to the destination is still a bit down, but everyone is sticking to it, and as tourists, we are also very suitable for traveling hard! The room is still very lifelike, that is, 2 pairs of rice and a little crowded, the kitchen is a plus, the boss is very intimate to prepare the salt and black pepper, all drinking water, bags, small snacks are very generous, not to mention very bicycles, overall recommendation"
