Hotels Near Birthplace of Imuta Shōhei in Kagoshima

Last September, I went to Kagoshima for the first time in ３ 💕 This time I stayed at ”Sheraton Kagoshima”. Shooting date: 7.Sep.2023 [Accommodation Report Summary] May 2023 80-year-old Sheraton Hotel was finally born in Kagoshima on May 16! Congratulations on opening the hotel 🎊㊗️ The type of room you stayed in: Sakurajima Club Room 2 Doubles Room No.1805 35 square meters * This room has 10 rooms. The guest room floor is from the 6th floor to the 18th floor, and the room is located on the top floor with the club lounge ❤️ The guest room is located on the top floor, and Sakurajima can be seen in front of you from the large window of the room 🌈 Wow !!! ♡ I can feel Sakurajima so close. The scenery was so beautiful that I left the roll screen half open and went to bed. I was impressed by the sunrise that I happened to see around 5:30 in the morning ☆ From the moment I entered the lobby on the 1st floor, I was impressed with the luxury atmosphere ♡ I was able to spend a relaxing time watching the night view of Kagoshima in my room 🎀 In the room There is a bathrobe and a nice time ❤️ On the 5th floor, there is a private hot spring ♨️ ”Warming hot water” that can only be used by guests and guests of the spa [Lymph Goddess]. I took an indoor and open-air bath and warmed my body in a quiet and calm space with a sodium chloride spring ♡ 18th floor club lounge I enjoyed cocktail time from 17:00 🍸 Dinner Also at the restaurant buffe. Also, breakfast was a substantial stay at the same club lounge ♡ Great Hotel ☆

The location was very satisfactory, the front desk service was excellent, and I could understand why there are so many guests. There were no particular problems inside the room, but there was nothing particularly good about it, and unfortunately there was nothing outstanding about this hotel that would make me want to stay here again. There were no problems with the breakfast, but the variety of bread was disappointingly small compared to the side dishes.

鹿児島市内、繁華街ど真ん中にあるかごしまプラザホテル天文館です。 連休中でしたが、物凄く安く宿泊できました。 シングル禁煙(12平米)です。 部屋は機能的でwifiのつながり良かったです。 ロビー無料でコーヒーや紅茶等のドリンク頂けます。 アルコール消毒も各フロアに設置してあり安心でした。

I stayed on a trip to Kagoshima. I walk a little from the tram station, but I think the location is good. It is a place where you can reach the Astronomical Museum in less than 5 minutes. There are two elevators in the hotel, but it was good without waiting. I thought the room was a bit small, but it was large enough for one person. It's good to have a restaurant in the hotel. The amount is a little high, but it may be a reasonable amount if you think of it as inside the hotel. The breakfast venue is on the top floor, so the view is good and the meal while looking at Sakurajima is good.

It is a business hotel located in the downtown Tenmonkan in Minami Kyushu, but it was only called ”Rem”, and I was able to sleep well as rarely for me to sleep until I was woken up by the alarm clock. The city trams and buses are running on the road right in front of me, but I didn't care about the noise at all. １ I had breakfast at the talis in the building because it was breakfast for the night, but it was quite well organized and substantial. I was able to choose from hot dog pancake toast.

I use it frequently! The rooms are always clean and comfortable. This time, the toilet paper was not folded into a triangular shape, the no-smoking sign had fallen over, and the air conditioner remote control was not in the remote control position, so I feel like the final check may have been insufficient. Overall I'm satisfied.

In the Astronomy-dori area, it is very convenient to eat and drink around. The airport bus is diagonally opposite. You can take the tram to Kagoshima Chuo Station, which is about a ten-minute drive away. The room is much smaller than the Yamato Rune in Kumamoto. They put an extra bed on the sofa for us, but there was no place for the suitcases, so we had to put it away by ourselves. There is a bedside table in the middle of the 1.2-meter double bed, which cannot be put together, so it is crowded for two adults and one child to sleep. The room is cleaned once every three days, and the garbage can be placed at the door. There is not even mineral water. The front desk is on the second floor, and there is only one elevator, so you often have to wait for a long time. The price is not expensive. Four nights for two adults and one child is only a little over two thousand. I may not choose this hotel next time. I didn't take pictures of the room, so I'll send a few pictures of some recommended restaurants around.

５ stage evaluation Location ４ Parking was Times East Thousandstone ３ was 500 yen at night Cleanliness ５ Width ４ Just a little small bed and bathtub, but it's cheap. Bathroom ４ ５ floor but water pressure is normal, Just the water pressure in the shower bed was painful Breakfast ４ 7:00 〜１ I was very satisfied with the regular meals selected from curry, chicken rice and white rice at the tavern on the floor Staff １ I was turning by people, so I had time for the arrangement or once Wi-Fi ３ It was ５ up ２５, even if wired LAN was wireless, it was inconvenient to down １ up １６

For tourists, you will like the hotel. It’s centrally-located and reasonably priced. But for me, this is my 2nd Richmond Hotel this week, and like Yokohama four days ago, the check in experience at the Kagoshima Richmond Kinseicho was just as bad. I arrived at the hotel at 1 and asked in Japanese for them to hold my bag until checkin. No problem and I left. I came back about 3:30 to check in. I claimed my bag and gave my name in Japanese. She found my reservation then immediately asked for my passport. I simply said “No”. She looked at me like I didn’t hear her then went to the back room to get another woman who I guess can speak English. Before the second one could say anything I explained in Japanese that I am not a tourist and if she would just check my reservation on the computer in front of her she would have known that. It is insulting to ask permanent residents (I am one.) for identification when checking in, especially our passport, which we do not carry around inside Japan (any more than a Japanese person would traveling Japan). The law specifies we are to be checked in as residents just as Japanese people are. And this, again, is the 2nd time this week I have explained the Japanese hotel law to Richmond hotel staff who should know better. And when this happens, no matter how good your hotel is the stay will not be pleasant because I won’t forget the insult. I’m speaking to you in Japanese and you still assume I am a tourist? How many fluent middle-aged white guys do you see in a year who are tourists? Come on Richmond, use some common sense and stop lumping residents and tourists in the same pile. It’s disrespectful to those of us for whom Japan is home. We are not the same as tourists. I like Richmond Hotels, but I have plenty of hotel choices available to me, and have stayed at Richmond at least four times this past year. Until you stop othering foreign residents as the same as visiting tourists I won’t be staying at this Richmond or any other going forward.

The hotel itself felt to be a little too rich and classy than what I’m normally used to (not a bad thing). I didn’t give the full 5 for location mainly since the hotel sits on top of a hill within the city, walking is kinda out of question unless your up for winding incline up and down the hill. There are included transportations though which is nice and the trade off being the gorgeous views of the city and volcano (sakurajima) that sits across the water. There are also included restaurants, stores, bath, lounges, and even a convenience store built into the hotel too which was nice.
