It is used for day trip bathing.The water is alkaline in quality and is circulated, so it is not directly sourced.The bathroom faces the sea, and the view from the open-air bath is especially refreshing.There is nothing special about it other than that.The price is high, but there are no added benefits such as a sauna or a large rest room, so I think it's for people who want to soak in hot water while looking out at the ocean on a sunny day.It's convenient that the bus stop is right in front of you. Please note that some navigation systems use the old name of the bus stop as ``JR Hotel.''Also, buses heading in the opposite direction stop at the same bus stop, so be careful not to board the wrong bus.

The nice location where the edge of a cape. Since the building is circular, the room can be either ocean view or mountain view, or both. We were lucky that we were able to observe both mountain and sea from our room.Breakfast and dinner both are buffet and there is a live kitchen. The favorite for me was Calzone at breakfast. The ticket for a hot meal is not single-use and the ticket comes back with hot meal when delivered, and can use it as many times as you desire. The buffet was one of the best buffet in my life. However, most of the food was meat or fish, so I would have liked to have more vegetable or plant-based options. Risotto and pasta at the dinner service were more salty for us, so we ordered no added salt on the 2nd night.Overall, it was the great stay for every aspect.Up on check-in, I was asked if I agreed to pay for the "Samana fund(for nature preservation)" which was 200 yen per person. Then I paid when checking out. I don't argue about the fund itself but I have no idea why this is not included in the price at the time of booking.

I stayed in a room with a bath on the 5th floor.The ocean view and the atmosphere of the room are amazing⤴️It gets dark when the sun goes down😁There's a free drink corner and free table tennis on the 1st floor, which is really nice 😊Buffet style dinner tooThere is also a corner where delicious food is cooked on the spot, so it might be a good place to go on a date.Personally, I would be even happier if there were local dishes and light dishes.

It's far from the airport and ferries, but other than that it was a great hotel. Anyway, the staff was polite, the room was clean, and the view was great. The food was so delicious that it wasn't even a buffet level, and we had a very happy 3 nights. Rather than wanting to go to Yakushima again, I would like to stay at Samana Hotel again. thank you very much.

The view from the terrace and hot springs was wonderful and I felt very relaxed. Perhaps because it was early October, the hot springs were not crowded in the morning or during the day, so I was able to enjoy my time.Breakfast had a wide variety of fruits, ohagi, and mini cakes, all of which were delicious, especially the omelets and calzones, which were perfectly cooked and very delicious.The staff were generally very pleasant, kind and considerate, and some were casual.It was a shame that some of the staff were not very pleasant. The overall impression was a little bad because of some people. I was a little surprised as I had experienced this in a hotel restaurant because of his poor manners.I stayed for several nights, but on the second night there was no one who was not nice, and everyone in the live kitchen was very kind.

The room was not only beautiful, but also well-cleaned, making it a very comfortable stay.The food was delicious both morning and night, and even my wife, who doesn't usually like buffets, ate a lot.The quality of the spring water was good and it felt very good.You can see the starry sky from the deck with a 360° view, and depending on the weather you can even see the Milky Way.All the staff were very kind and the space was very comfortable.I would love to visit you again.
