Great view of Sakurajima active volcanic island. Handy bus shuttle service to and from the hotel/ railway station. Excellent buffet restaurant food. Service and staff were excellent. Only small criticism would be that the decor is quite dated but the positives far outweigh this.

Whilst the hotel is a little dated it was clean and the staff very helpful. A good base hotel for exploring the local area and taking a trip to Yakushima via the local ferry a couple km's away.

I booked with half board option with dinner and breakfast. My room was a bit oudated but it was clean and nice. The buffet breakfast and dinner had plenty of choices, and both were great. The hotel had other restaurants too so you dont have to eat their buffet if you dont want. The onsen was also great with a view of the volcano. The free shuttle was also great. I really enjoyed my two night stay here.

Nice and helpful staff were always around in the main lobby to be ready to help. The facilities were sufficient but it's a bit old. The staff were holding a farewell banner when we are leaving the hotel. Their hospitality was beyond my expectation.
