    The location with a view of Sakurajima and being right on the beach is great - we went swimming every day.

    I don't know what's wrong with people giving bad reviews to this hostel, it's extremely nice and cozy. Very different to what we experienced in rest of Japan, the lounge with beach/Sakurajima view is by itself worth staying here (woke up early to...

    Very nicely designed rooms and hotel, with clean rooms and a very comfortable shared bathroom and toilet. Easy to check in and very nice staff. Great views of the Sakurajima volcano from the shared balcony! There are not many restaurants around...

Host Information

9.1
Host review score
Private showers & toilets are not available in all rooms at our facility, and we have shared showers & toilets instead. The lounge is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the breathtaking moments of seeing Sakurajima, one of Japan's most active and beautiful volcanoes, and the symbol of Kagoshima. Enjoy spectacular views of Kinko bay surrounding the volcano as well. The vintage styled rooms feature imported décor from America, Europe, India, and other Asian countries. Blending all these interiors creates a unique classic atmosphere, which evokes nostalgic feelings. You can also feel our avant-garde art vibe. Our design and atmosphere will give you a unique guesthouse experience, unlike most you have stayed in before. We appreciate your understanding that there is no elevator or TV in the facility.
