Located halfway up the mythical Takachiho Peak, all Guest rooms have an open view of Sakurajima. The hot spring ryokan is a place where you can enjoy a hot spring bath and free your body and soul while admiring the view over the Kirishima Plateau, with a hot spring bathing hut standing in the sooty meadow beyond the slope car. The highlight of the festival is a dynamic performance expressing the descent of the grandchildren.

Local Guide FAQ
- What spots in the Kirishima area do you recommend?
We recommend the CAFE of Imayoshi Tea Manufacturing. This CAFE is run by Imayoshi Seicha, a tea manufacturer which is also represented at Hoshino Resorts KAI Kirishima, and offers drinks and sweets made from Kirishima tea. They are constantly developing new menu items, and their evolution never stops!
- Please sneak in some hole-in-the-wall places that you know because you live there.
From the road leading down to the town from Hoshino Resorts KAI Kirishima, you can see Sakurajima and the townscape.
The sunset is beautiful in the evening and the night view is beautiful at night, so it is recommended.
There is no place to park your car and you can only look at it from the side, but I am very healed by this view on my way home from work.

I remember my trip to England when I was a university student.
It was my first trip abroad with a friend, and I remember how excited and fun I was with every single flight connection.
I still travel with that friend twice a year.

I like to travel and visit cafes, so I explore new stores and tourist attractions.

I don't have a specific thing in mind, though,
I take a lot of pictures when I travel, so I am thinking about getting a good camera.
