A family hotel far away by the ocean with Good food, service and a sea- horse aquarium and beautiful scenery. If you go by train 2 hours from Kagashima departure 12:05- inform hotel to come pick you up from mini-size station without cabs or staff or just walk south mostly downhills:)
The roms have bath and toilet but enjoy the big bath Similar to the real hotsprings.
Swim on the Beach or collect shells.
Our family spent just one night at the hotel, but wished we could have stayed longer. The location is unbeatable though getting there by public transport may be a challenge. We drove and there was enough parking even though it was shared with beach-goers. The hotel itself has only two spots by its entrance.Service was excellent and check-in was quick and efficient. While the hotel is not new, it is more than made up by its amenities and room views, and what views we had!! Kaimondake was right across the bay and sunset and sunrise was visible from our little balcony. Surf and waves can be seen and heard all along the coast and it was pure magic. We also enjoyed the (shared) hot spring bath which was inside the ryokan. Breakfast was included in our rates and it was excellent Japanese fare. We totally recommend this Ryoken if you're in Minamikyushu.
