Hotels With Spa in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan

I had a pleasant stay at Art Hotel Kagoshima. The hotel offers a beautiful view of Sakurajima, especially from the rooms facing the bay — waking up to that scenery was truly memorable. The staff were friendly, polite, and helpful throughout my stay. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and the overall service felt professional and efficient. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything I needed for a short stay. The bed was cozy, and the room layout made good use of space. Breakfast was enjoyable, with a nice selection of Japanese and Western dishes, and the restaurant had a lovely view as well. The hotel’s location is convenient — just a short drive from the city center and ferry terminal. Overall, Art Hotel Kagoshima is a great choice for travelers looking for comfort, good value, and beautiful views of Sakurajima. I would be happy to stay here again.

We booked Mountain View room and it was superb . The hotel has a shuttle bus service to Kagoshima chuo station . I front of hotel there is also direct tram station which connect you to bus that go around Kagoshima city , I just need a day pass swhich can be bought from The concierge.

The appearance of this hotel is very special and it is divided into two halls. The main building has beautiful floors and you can see the doors of every room. The room is fully equipped, but the furniture is a bit old, but everything is very clean. Maybe this hotel is 30 years old! The staff was very attentive and helped me carry all my luggage to my room. I rarely experience such service! There are two open-air free parking lots in the parking lot, which is convenient for self-driving tours. There is a small wedding hall in the main hall, which is simple and beautiful. There are both outdoor and indoor swimming pools, making it convenient for swimming in any weather. The breakfast options are quite good and tasty with lots of choices. Next time I come to Kagoshima, this hotel will definitely be my first choice!

Facilities: Formerly the Royal Hotel, the west wing has only undergone exterior renovations. Therefore, I booked the newly renovated east wing. The rooms are predominantly wooden, and the twin-bed Japanese-Western style rooms are quite nice. The onsen (hot spring) is a mild sulfur spring, and the outdoor pool is nice. However, it's not the main sulfurous white spring in the area; those would likely be more therapeutic. There's a heated swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts, a playroom, and a children's play area. Cleanliness: Good Environment: Located next to Takachiho Ranch, it's situated on high ground, offering views of Sakurajima to the south, making it a good spot for sunset viewing. Service: Good. Semi-electric bicycles are available for rent, currently free.

I used this hotel for a short trip with my husband after work (we wanted to go to Kirishima Shrine)! First, we were given a welcome drink of sweet potato shochu and tea, typical of Kagoshima, and everyone was having a good time. I also had some tea, and the staff were very polite and I felt that they were proud of the hotel. ^_^ First, we went to the family bath, and it was a very relaxing space where we could relax. There was a coffee meal set, and I had never made my own coffee, but I was able to spend a relaxing time enjoying delicious coffee! The wonderful tools make it a picture. ♪ The large public bath was also okay. I went there thinking it would be just normal and clean, but it was very Japanese and stylish, and had a different atmosphere from the hotel's front desk and rooms, and it was very nice! There were several types of amenities to choose from, such as shampoo, and I thought, wow! I wanted to try this! I was happy. My husband is tall. I wrote that in the comments section, and they prepared loungewear in a larger size for us, and we had a much more enjoyable time than we expected! My husband doesn't go to hot springs very often, but it was so good that I forced him to go, and he was so happy too! (*Ü*)♡ I'm really glad we were able to make some good memories♪

The views of the bay and the volcano are absolutely stunning, 'picturesque' doesn't even begin to cover it! My room type was a garden view twin, so I couldn't see the volcano or the sea. It was all about value for money, at around 600-700 RMB per night. The room was spacious enough (by Japanese standards), and the luggage rack could fit two medium-sized suitcases. The bathroom was also quite large. If you want to see the volcano, you can head to the courtyard or walk five minutes to the Shiroyama Observatory. You can soak in the large hot spring bath while looking at the volcano, but we only took a quick look around the baths and didn't really try them out, so I can't comment much. The hotel shuttle bus runs every half hour, which is pretty convenient. The city view bus stop is near the Shiroyama Observatory. Just ask the receptionist at the hotel lobby on the 4th floor how to get to the observatory; we turned left then right and it was a five-minute walk. By the way, the city view bus route is a bit winding and there aren't many buses. It's better to take the JR to Sengan-en. The JR has a stop right at the entrance of Sengan-en, and the platform itself is the best spot to view Sakurajima.

Peripheral functions are very convenient Nutritious and delicious breakfast There is a supplies area in the lobby on the first floor. Diverse brand categories In winter, there are also bath tablets that you can pick up if you need them. Intimate and convenient The room and restaurant are decorated with fresh flowers It’s beautiful and worthy of being a rose city. The counter staff can only communicate in Japanese Very kind I will still choose this hotel when I go on a business trip next time

The hotel is quite old but so is the other hotels in the area, free alcohol bar at check in time was great it was overall nice.

A hot spring hotel near the sea, a ten-story Japanese-style sea view room, with an unobstructed sea view outside the window, the scenery is very good. I gave you a sand bath coupon for the hotel's own sand bath hot spring, so you don't even have to go to the Sand Le Hall. The specialty of Ibusuki is the sand bath. You can’t take pictures, so just use the pictures on the official website to take a look. You can soak for ten minutes at most, half the amount for children, and a staff member will wake you up when the time is up. The swimming pool is open during this season. The hotel has a free shuttle service to Ibusuki Station in the morning, leaving at 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. You need to make a reservation one day in advance. Dinner was Satsuma cuisine, which was exquisite, with fresh ingredients and delicious taste. Breakfast is buffet style. The Iwasaki Hotel next door actually had small fireworks on 8.12 nights, and I was lucky enough to catch them. The foreign girl at the front desk speaks very good English. She introduced herself as an expatriate from Dubai who has been working in Japan for 5 years. Now she speaks Japanese better than English 🙂

Renovations were taking place in various places, so the sauna section, for example, could not be used.  You only got one bottle of water, only on the first day of three. I asked the maids for a bottle of water, partly because they didn't have to clean my room, but they said only one bottle was included the first day. Because of this, I chose to eat my 3 lunches in restaurants other than the resort's, plus I rented a motorbike elsewhere. It caused a loss of at least Y15,000 for the resort, as lunch costs at least Y3000 times 3 and motorbike at least Y6000. Think what a bottle of water per day could have brought in more profit.
