ラビスタ霧島ヒルズ

I booked my stay on the 29th, the day after Typhoon No. 10 was expected to hit southern Kyushu.I was so worried that I called on the 27th to confirm business hours. La Vista's response is...① We plan to open on the 29th.②The open-air bath and private bath in the large public bath are scheduled to be closed as a safety measure from strong winds.③ You can use the open-air baths on the terraces of each room, but you may have to remove your blindfold as a safety measure from strong winds, so there is a possibility that you may be seen from outside.④If you cancel, a 50% cancellation fee will be charged as usual.That's what I mean.I was worried. Should I go? Should we try to ensure safety even if we pay a cancellation fee? In the end, I ended up facing the morning of the day without being able to come up with an answer.The news reports say the typhoon is heading towards northern Kyushu, but heavy rain warnings are still in effect. However, there was no strong wind like last night. Call La Vista for final confirmation. "We are open for business. Please be careful when coming."Okay. Although I was worried about the journey, I decided to head on.According to the map information, there are some places on my usual road that are closed, so I take a detour.When you arrive, you will be greeted politely by two staff members. When I dropped off my luggage and was about to head to the parking lot, he handed me an umbrella and said, ``Please use this.''Ice cream and several types of sweets and candies are available in the lobby in front of the front desk, and you are free to use them until 8pm. A water server from Sekihira Onsen is also installed. Previously, there was only shochu tasting sake and a coffee maker...I was given a 1-hour free karaoke ticket when I checked in, so I wonder if it was a special service for coming here in such bad weather. I interpret it as a positive 😊The ice cream was delicious, so when I went to the lobby again, the staff member was replenishing the sweets and said with a smile, ``Please take as much as you want.''After having some ice cream and snacks, we returned to the room and relaxed, then headed to the long-awaited hot spring on the terrace that smelled of sulfur!Wow, paradise♨️A little nap? 10 p.m. after that. Yaguri Ramen opens. We had two types of ramen, the usual tomato and soy sauce. 🙏 A total of 8 bowls for the two of us 👌 Thank you for the meal. As I was eating ramen, I noticed that it was extremely quiet tonight. Well, I think it's because of the typhoon that there aren't many guests, but it's not just that, the conversations you can hear here and there are in Japanese. I can't hear foreign languages. I think that's partly why it's so quiet.After dinner, I usually go to the private bath, but today it was closed due to the typhoon, so I went to the public bath.A public bath for the first time since before the coronavirus pandemic.Milk bath, mist & dry sauna, bedrock bath, lying bath and hot water. There is also a shampoo buffet, and the facilities are clean. On top of that, it's almost completely reserved! I'm very satisfied. I probably wouldn't have been able to enter if I hadn't come today, so I realized once again that it was a good thing that I came to spend the night on a rough road. All the staff greeted us with smiles and it was a pleasant stay 😊October 2nd PostscriptLa Vista for the first time in about a month⭐️Take a dip in the guest room's open-air bath with the scent of sulfur in the morning 😊How many times have you taken a bath since yesterday's check-in? I soaked in a lot of hot springs this time too. A blissful moment to relieve your daily stress and back pain 😊Since I was a child, I have been using hot springs in Kirishima-go, such as Hayashida Onsen, Kirishima Kanko Hotel, Sulfur Valley Onsen, Ogiri-so, Natural Kawayu, Seiryu-so, and Shiratori Onsen.Then, when I was in my mid-40s, I met La Vista Hills Kirishima.Now that I'm over 50 years old, I've probably stayed at La Vista more than 10 times, and I think about it every time I come."I want to come stay again..."It is an irresistible place for hot spring lovers.The bathtub in the guest room's open-air bath was just barely large enough for two people to fit in, and when I first saw the heart-shaped bathtub, I wondered if it was a love hotel. However, there is the luxury of being able to use Kirishima's sulfur springs as often as you like.The three spacious family baths on the first floor are also open to the public free of charge.As mentioned above, the large public bath is also perfect.In the evening, we offer free refills of mini meat buns called ``Oshinogi'', which can be used as snacks.Famous "Yonaki Ramen" from 10pmFree refills of soy sauce ramen or tomato ramen.A quiet and soothing environment surrounded by mountain greenery. (Sometimes I get irritated by the sound of the door opening and closing in the next room 💦)Good to eat, good to soak in. It's good to sleep.La Vista Hills Kirishima. I recommend it 😊

The customer service was very polite and I had a comfortable stay. This resort hotel is located on a hill, with great views and a pool, where you can relax at the beauty salon or in the hot springs. The room is also nice and spacious. Since it's a Dormy Inn type of hotel, there was candy ice cream and Yacuri Soba after the bath, and there were plenty of welcome drinks. There was coffee, tea, and a bottle of mineral water in the room. There is a heart-shaped bath in the room, but it was hot outside so I didn't take a bath, but I did take a little foot bath in the evening. The hot water felt good.

The hotel was clean, including the rooms.It wasn't a busy time, so the response during busy times may be different, but when I arrived by car, a person at the hotel entrance beckoned me 👍.Therefore, we were able to bring in our luggage directly from there.Go to the reception immediately at the entrance.Even though I had to wait for a while, the receptionist was nice 😊.The poolside really looks like an exotic building. The pool doesn't have any play equipment, but my child likes swimming so it was very nice🏊.The pool uncle is in the children's pool.The child who tried to play wearing sandals was properly warned not to do so as the water would get dirty, so I can trust him👏. (Parents should supervise their children at the waterside!) We were also given bath towels by the pool, and we were told that it was OK to change clothes in the guest room 🙏✨. Of course, there are changing rooms as well. The private bath and large public bath were both very nice.There will also be light snacks before dinner.Meat buns and 3 types of ice cream to choose from😋.By the way, they also have ice cream sticks.Dinner is also surprisingly high quality! .It was a well-equipped hotel for me who was tired from the summer leisure activities🙏✨.

It was a very beautiful hotelAlthough it was rainingI enjoyed the sound of rain
