"A hot spring hotel near the sea, a ten-story Japanese-style sea view room, with an unobstructed sea view outside the window, the scenery is very good. I gave you a sand bath coupon for the hotel's own sand bath hot spring, so you don't even have to go to the Sand Le Hall.
The specialty of Ibusuki is the sand bath. You can’t take pictures, so just use the pictures on the official website to take a look. You can soak for ten minutes at most, half the amount for children, and a staff member will wake you up when the time is up.
The swimming pool is open during this season.
The hotel has a free shuttle service to Ibusuki Station in the morning, leaving at 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. You need to make a reservation one day in advance. Dinner was Satsuma cuisine, which was exquisite, with fresh ingredients and delicious taste. Breakfast is buffet style.
The Iwasaki Hotel next door actually had small fireworks on 8.12 nights, and I was lucky enough to catch them.
The foreign girl at the front desk speaks very good English. She introduced herself as an expatriate from Dubai who has been working in Japan for 5 years. Now she speaks Japanese better than English 🙂"
"The location may be inconvenient,
but it's a great place for healing purposes.
The food is delicious and the view is amazing.
There are many stars in the evening, and in the summer, you can enjoy the pool, which seems even better. The hot springs in the hotel are free, and when there aren't many people,
I was alone and took a picture of the bath.
It felt like a private bath because I could enjoy it alone.
The hot springs while looking at the sea were the best.
The hot springs are open from 5 AM to 12 AM.
I'm so happy that they operate.
And most of all, the staff were really kind.
I was impressed that they greeted me from the time I arrived at the hotel until I left."
"I know that the hotel is old, but I didn't know it was so old! I have stayed in dozens of Japanese hot spring hotels. This should be the oldest one. The public area on the first floor is also very small. There is only a foot bathing pool. The bathing place is not special, but the room type booked is 50 square meters, which is quite large. , You can watch the sunrise in the room in the morning
Breakfast and dinner for one stay and two meals can only be given passing marks, it's too stingy"

"The room is small in size and can accommodate only 3 people. There is no bathroom in the room. There is a large bath on the 5th floor and an open-air hot spring on the 1st floor. As a hot spring hotel, the facilities are relatively average. The sea view is nice and beautiful. The dinner is also quite good. But the service was average. I asked about the jr and bus back to Kagoshima-chuo the next day. The front desk didn't know clearly. I checked and told them, and then they arranged a car to take us to the bus station. The service was warm throughout the whole process, but the information was incomplete. , compared with Kirishima Onsen, the service is not attentive."

"The traditional Japanese hotel has a long history. The customer service attitude is good and serious. The proprietress also greets the guests personally. We booked a one-night stay with two meals. Both dinner and breakfast were exquisite and delicious. The location is close to Sarakkan and there are rooms with sea views. It is also not far from Ibusuki Train Station. It is definitely worth our third visit."
"A very clean Japanese-style guesthouse with very hospitable owners. Small but comfortable room and ensuite bathroom/toilet. An onsen and meals are available. In a quiet area but walkable to the station, supermarkets or sand-baths."

"It took a long time to choose a hotel in Ibusuki, and there were very few pictures and information about Xiu Sui En. However, after seeing netizens commenting that its kaiseki cuisine is its specialty, as foodies, we decided to book this hotel with the mentality of giving it a try, and the result! Really like it!
Service: Regarding the service, it is really a detail that only traditional Japanese hotels have. After we checked in, a pair of waiters came to pick us up and take us to the hot spring (private hot spring only costs about 100 yuan) and take us there. The restaurant (you must try the food, it is exquisite and delicious), the most surprising thing is that my slippers (fur slippers) were scorched and wet by the rain when I entered the door. I even jokingly asked my husband if they would see that my shoes were wet. Then help me dry it, otherwise I will have to wear wet shoes again the next day and end up going out the next morning! It was really dried (because one of them got smaller and shrunk hahaha, so it was definitely dried), and when we asked for any service, they would not ask us which room we were in, their waiters would remember us and serve us directly. We have arranged everything. Having said so much, we still have to experience it ourselves, haha."
"It is a little far from Ibusuki Station.
Guests staying at Kokoro no Yado can use the neighboring Kokoro no Yu baths as many times as they like, but the baths are open until 10pm, so I thought the bath times were shorter than at other hot spring inns.
There are a wide variety of baths, including a jacuzzi and sauna in the indoor bath, a tub bath, a bath where you can use a mud pack, and a carbonated spring where you can watch TV.
None of the baths were too hot, so I liked that I could take my time in them.
On the first day, I had dinner at the inn, and on the second day, I had dinner at the restaurant attached to Kokoro no Yu, and I was satisfied with both.
I recommend the Satsuma gozen and seafood bowl at the restaurant!!
The breakfast didn't change much even after staying for several nights, and only the grilled fish and small dishes changed a little, so I would have liked it if there had been a little more variety. The taste was delicious!
The price is very reasonable and you can enjoy a variety of baths, so I would like to stay here again when I come to Ibusuki.
Thank you!"
"It is very suitable for couples and families to experience traditional Japanese architecture together. It can be seen from many details. The boss and the proprietress operate the homestay with care, and they respond enthusiastically to any questions. In addition, there will be snakes in the summer, but don't be afraid, because there are many cats here to win the cockroaches, super cool! There are buses that can be reached directly, and there are fewer shifts to pay attention to time. The hot springs in the hotel are gradually decreasing. If you don't mind, you can drive to the traditional hot spring bathhouse nearby for only 150 yen."
