Our room had a private hot spring pool, where you can soak while gazing at the active volcano of Sakurajima🌋. Of course, you can also take the unmanned rail car on the first floor to the public hot spring pool and enjoy an open-air bath in the fields. The hot spring water here is clear and rich in minerals, which can wash away the fatigue of the journey. Especially at night, the open-air hot spring under the starry sky has a unique charm, making you feel like you are in a paradise. 🍱 Dining: A feast for the taste buds The hotel's food is also a highlight. It features fresh local specialties and exquisite presentation. Every dish is a delight, and every bite is a temptation for the taste buds. Recommended dish: Treasure Box Seasonal Vegetables. The red box is very festive. 🏡 Accommodation: Cozy like home The room design is simple yet cozy, with local handicrafts used as decorations. The wall behind the bed is made of volcanic rock from Sakurajima. Every detail shows the hotel's dedication.
