I had a wonderful stay at the Lilac Hotel. The location is excellent - right in the middle of rural Kyushu, with stunning views of farmland and mountains on the horizon. About an hour's drive from Kagoshima. The food was also great, with a wide selection of dishes. There is also the option to have a barbecue, which I didn't do myself but looked excellent. The rooms are clean with good amenities - television, shower and bath, etc. Comfortable beds. The most unique thing about Lilac Hotels is the abundance of animals. The hotel is home to two dogs, a cat, two goats, chickens, cockerels, chicks, and dozens of rabbits (which bounce around freely). I would imagine this would be great for families in particular. I also can't praise the staff highly enough - warm, welcoming, some of the friendliest people I have met in Japan. I would definitely recommend visiting Lilac Hotel!

Had an amazing overnight stay at Lilac Hotel! The cabin was spacious (I was in a party of 3), clean, and comfortable. Surrounded by farmland, it was a very relaxing stay where you will very likely see some goats and rabbits! I wanted to do some local travel this summer (2020) as I’m currently living in Kagoshima City, and this place was a perfect fit.

Amazing place! So beautiful, clean and comfortable. The owner is very kind and helpful. The cat and the dog are super cute too. Absolutely recommended.

Good place for a short stay in an artificially natural environment for a short stay.

Good place with running rabbits
