I really liked the room. I liked the room concept and it was great to see the sea in front when I lay on the bed. The dinner was explained very kindly and was very delicious to my personal taste.

I came here after hearing good reviews from a friend.It was a very nice inn located on the seaside a little away from the center of Ibusuki, quiet and with a great view. The building feels a bit historical, but it is well maintained and the employees are very responsive.The observation bath on the 5th floor not only offers views of Sakurajima, Chiringashima, and the Osumi Peninsula, but also has a pleasant feeling in the brown, slightly salty, and thick hot water. The water temperature is lukewarm, but it warms your body immediately.The open-air bath on the 1st floor is a rock bath, and you can be soothed by the starry sky and the sound of trains passing by.The food is also very delicious.I think it's a very good inn to spend a relaxing time.

Accommodation with a plan that includes a private open-air bath.The main meal is black pork shabu-shabu.The black pork shabu-shabu was very delicious. Normally, shabu-shabu is eaten with ponzu sauce or sesame sauce, but shabu-shabu was eaten with vegetables and soup stock. The sweetness of the cabbage and pork and the soup stock were very delicious. The service from the staff was good and the hot springs were very nice.This is an inn I would like to visit again.

I used the plan for a room with a semi-open-air bath and dinner and breakfast.The combination of a semi-open-air bath with a room and a balcony is the best!After soaking in the hot springs to my heart's content, I sat on a chair on the balcony and felt the pleasant breeze of Kinko Bay blowing, coupled with the ocean view, which was soothing.Furthermore, the black pork shabu-shabu soup stock for dinner was very delicious.There's no dipping sauce, but the flavor of the soup stock is so strong that it's not necessary at all.There was also a sweet taste from the melted black pork fat, and I drank it all.

It was a good stay. It seemed like it had been renovated and the room was very clean. The food was very delicious. However, the hallway is extremely hot.

Two people used it during the Obon period.Room 312 was about 70,000 yen for 2 people with breakfast and dinner.High rating- Nice room design・There is no refrigerator in the room you sleep in, so you won't be bothered by noise.This may be a negative point for people who want a refrigerator nearby.・There is cold tea in the public bath.・Good spring quality・Very satisfied with the food・The staff in charge of meals were smiling and attentive.Low rating・The shower hose in the room was deteriorated and I was injured by the metal part (I would like to request immediate improvement)・I found out later that there was no welcome drink information.・The staff around the entrance are not very energetic (it can be said that they do not interfere needlessly, so the evaluation may depend on the person)desire・Although there were plastic bottles in the room, it would be helpful if there was a place to get water during your stay or a pitcher of water in the room. It's important to stay hydrated, but since you're staying at a hotel, it's a bit of a hassle to go out of your way to buy some.

It was helpful to have a round-trip shuttle to the station and a shuttle to the sand bath hall.The room was quiet and calm, and the bathroom in the room was spacious.During dinner, I was given an explanation of shochu and was able to choose from a wide variety of shochu to suit my taste.
