I have been coming here for almost 10 years, but it has been a long time since I stayed at a hotel in Kawachi. The wonderful food, the comfort of the hot springs, and above all the hospitality of the owner and his wife are wonderful. I had a very comfortable stay.The Beach Club Sandalwood, which is operated in a different location, is also in a great location, and above all, the pizza baked in a pizza oven is definitely an exquisite pizza, and it is a famous restaurant that I always stop by every time I go there.

First of all, the room was not cleaned as much as possible, and the moment I turned on the air conditioner, there was a terrible smell. (When I stayed elsewhere, a large amount of water leaked from the air conditioner.)If you look closely at the room, you can see that there is dust and spider thread left on the square.I decided to add a futon for my child in addition to the one already laid out, so I took a new futon out of the closet and used it, but the next day I couldn't help but feel itchy all over my body...it was full of mites. I think. I realized that this hostel really doesn't clean the areas that can't be seen.I guess the walls outside the room haven't been taken care of at all. . It's so dirty that you can tell just by looking at it.I like the hot springs here and have stayed there several times.I paid over 100,000 yen per night and was disgusted by the unsanitary and filthy conditions, so I will never stay here again.

I used it for the night before visiting the space center. I couldn't find accommodation in Nishinoomote City due to construction work on the Self-Defense Forces base on Magejima, so I had to use the process of elimination to make my choice, but it turned out to be a great choice.I think there are pros and cons about the handmade feel of the rooms, but each room had a hot spring.We had an optional barbecue for dinner, which was also a great choice. Each ingredient is carefully processed and your stomach will be satisfied. There is a wide variety of alcoholic beverages available, and the inn is so sophisticated that you wouldn't expect it to be an inn on a remote island (and on the southern tip).

I listened to the explanation about Wi-Fi🛜, but I couldn't understand it and couldn't use it lolThe inn is like a Hawaiian pension, stylish and the rooms are clean.The food is amazing both in the evening and in the morning! It was deliciousIf I ever come to Tanegashima again (although I don't have the chance), this is an inn I'd definitely like to stay at again.

The rice is really delicious.The owner's cooking is the best.The quantity and number of items are a bit large at night, so please be prepared when eating.The quality of the hot springs in your room is also excellent.It gets so slippery that you slide off the bed. lol lol

Hotel SANDALWOOD, which I visited on my recent trip, provided an unforgettable experience during my stay in Tanegashima. In particular, we highly recommend the Premier Room Twin room. This room was spacious and had a modern yet warm design, making it a very comfortable stay. One of the special charms of this hotel is that all rooms have hot springs. The hotel's location is surrounded by nature, allowing you to spend a quiet and relaxing time. Additionally, the hotel staff were very kind and took great care of us during our stay. The meals, made with free-range chicken raised on their own farm and pesticide-free vegetables, were both delicious and healthy. This is a great place to spend time with family and friends and we would definitely stay there again when visiting Tanegashima.
