It was an unforgettable experience. Love it!!

Really feel the おもてなしOmotenashi spirit of the hotel staffs. It was so relaxing in the hotel. The room, the onsen and the cuisine are so satisfying. Will definitely want to come back someday.

Excellent staff service, environment and experience comfortable and quiet providing a good rest. Driverless monorail to onsen was awesome with spectacular scenery. Free ice pops provided. Husband saw a deer in the grassland while using the onsen. Only regret was the food quality that couldn’t stand out.

The room is spacious and clean, the view to the nature is fantastic. Staffs are friendly. It pays attention to culture and traditions. Love the dinner as well. One thing can be improved, the amenities can upgrade to a better shower head or hair dryer. With this level of hotel, I would expect a better quality of the amenities. Surprised to see a very basic and old shower head and hairdryer. But other than this little things, I love everything of this hotel. Would definitely recommend if you prefer a quiet place to stay with lots of nature around it.

Great volcano view, meals could be better

Fantastic Sakura volcano view & surrounding environment. Meals (dinner & breakfast) needs improvement, compared to many other onsen ryokans that charge less. Lack of snacks at relaxing lounge or bar. Typical Hoshino standard, adequate courtesy service, but somewhat lack of warm hospitality.

Staff were friendly and welcoming, and service was great. Views of Mt Sakurajima were absolutely beautiful which is partly why I booked. I opted for a room with private onsen as I have tattoos. They offered tattoo covers but I thought they looked a but silly as I ended up looking like a patchwork quilt. We did did go down the hotels cable car to check out the relaxation room and enjoy some ice pops and tea. My only disappointment was being offered dining option times of 5:30 or 7:30pm, we asked for 7:30 as we’d had a really late lunch. But were then told 7:30 was booked. We couldn’t really enjoy dinner as we were still full from lunch. It is enjoyable though having private dining spaces.
