The hotel is quite dated but still clean. However, the open air Onsen is very small and the indoor one looks very old

The room was amazing, especially the large tatami area with Sakurajima just outside the window. The large public bath on the top floor also faces Sakurajima. There's also a semi-open-air onsen on the first floor, and the atmosphere is just as wonderful. I really wanted to stay there all day without going out.
The hotel offers a shuttle bus to the "Saraku" sand steam room, but reservations are required. I didn't make a reservation, but after finishing my sand steam, I happened to see the hotel bus and asked, and they let me take it back. By the way, their luggage was delivered directly to the hotel from the JR station, which was 200 yen more expensive than leaving it at the station.
The downside is that it's a bit far from the city center, and the limited bus service in Ibusuki makes getting around difficult. By train, Hamamiya Station is about seven or eight minutes away.
There are also few dining options nearby. I found Shinshuan about 500 meters away, and a FamilyMart a little further. However, the road is dark at night, so it's hard to see, and walking can be quite daunting. So, it's best to book a room with breakfast and dinner included.

The front desk staff were very helpful and kind in providing tourist information. The food was delicious. The black pork shabu-shabu was especially sweet and delicious.

It's about a 10-minute walk from the station. While a bit out of the way, it's a great value hotel for a quiet retreat while enjoying the hot springs. If you need to buy something, there are two convenience stores within a 10-minute walk.

The room is large, clean and tidy, facing the sea, with a large bath on the 5th floor and an open-air hot spring on the 1st floor. The dinner is rich, the breakfast is rich, the surrounding environment is beautiful, the service is warm, and the praise is good👍

There is a free shuttle bus from Mayagaha Station, and there is a round-trip shuttle to Ibusuki Sarakukaikan. The facilities are really clean and friendly. :)
There were a lot of Japanese people, and we were the only Korean group, but it's a really good place! I definitely recommend it
Breakfast, dinner, and hot springs were all perfect💗 I really enjoyed the Japanese ryokan, and the ocean view was the best.

The room is small in size and can accommodate only 3 people. There is no bathroom in the room. There is a large bath on the 5th floor and an open-air hot spring on the 1st floor. As a hot spring hotel, the facilities are relatively average. The sea view is nice and beautiful. The dinner is also quite good. But the service was average. I asked about the jr and bus back to Kagoshima-chuo the next day. The front desk didn't know clearly. I checked and told them, and then they arranged a car to take us to the bus station. The service was warm throughout the whole process, but the information was incomplete. , compared with Kirishima Onsen, the service is not attentive.
