It was an unforgettable experience. Love it!!

Really feel the おもてなしOmotenashi spirit of the hotel staffs. It was so relaxing in the hotel. The room, the onsen and the cuisine are so satisfying. Will definitely want to come back someday.

Staff were friendly and welcoming, and service was great. Views of Mt Sakurajima were absolutely beautiful which is partly why I booked. I opted for a room with private onsen as I have tattoos. They offered tattoo covers but I thought they looked a but silly as I ended up looking like a patchwork quilt. We did did go down the hotels cable car to check out the relaxation room and enjoy some ice pops and tea. My only disappointment was being offered dining option times of 5:30 or 7:30pm, we asked for 7:30 as we’d had a really late lunch. But were then told 7:30 was booked. We couldn’t really enjoy dinner as we were still full from lunch. It is enjoyable though having private dining spaces.

Great volcano view, meals could be better

Fantastic Sakura volcano view & surrounding environment. Meals (dinner & breakfast) needs improvement, compared to many other onsen ryokans that charge less. Lack of snacks at relaxing lounge or bar. Typical Hoshino standard, adequate courtesy service, but somewhat lack of warm hospitality.

가성비는 매우 별로..

뭐 현대식 료칸 느낌으로 깔끔한 리조트라서 나름 괜찮아요. 가격은 좀 비싼 느낌.. 특히 가이세키가 좀 부실하고 아침도 그렇고.. 음식은 기대 이하군요. 체크인 아웃때 주차장이게 로비까지 짐을 직접 옮기는게 좀 별로에요. 뭔가 아직 엉성한 느낌에 서비스..

空間設計很精緻，在許多細節上看見日本的工藝精神，房間的視野非常好，可以放鬆發呆整整天。很喜歡前往大眾池的電車設計，說穿了就是電梯，但是是可以動態欣賞風景的電梯，讓整個泡湯的經驗多了一個心情轉換的體驗，我在泡湯的時候還看見了鹿成雙成對在我面前覓食，，這真是一個開心的泡湯體驗。
