Stay at Hotel Shiroyama Kagoshima
  • A visit to Kagoshima City, Kyushu’s southernmost prefectural capital city has a lot to do with its captivating active volcano, Sakurajima, right across from the city’s harbour. To enjoy the picture perfect view of the city’s icon from sunrise to sunset, and at the same time take advantage of unsurpassed service and hospitality, we recommend choosing Hotel Shiroyama Kagoshima as your accommodation option while in this beautiful city.

    At Hotel Shiroyama Kagoshima the experience begins as soon as you pull into the hotel. Uniformed staff welcome you in with the typical Japanese bow, and are more than ready to bring your luggage to the reception desk while you go and park your car. A van follows you and then gives you a ride back to the front, followed by a smoothly coordinated process that will have you checked into your room in no time.

    When it comes to the rooms, there are several options to choose from, but the main criteria is whether the room comes with a view of Sakurajima or not. The view comes with a higher price than those rooms looking to the opposite side of the city, but both options offer comparable level of comfort obviously at various price ranges from single room accommodation all the way up to the Imperial Suite. As with most of the hotel chains around the country, there are different plans available at the Shiroyama, some of which include the buffet breakfast and the view, and some plans which do not. You’ll do well to check the hotel’s website so as to avoid any surprises.

    Once you’re settled in, and if you haven’t decided on your sightseeing itinerary, the hotel offers a super convenient concierge service in Japanese and English. With just a quick call from your room, or a stop by the concierge desk, the staff will give you very detailed suggestions like local izakaya, museums, and where you can go using their very own shuttle bus, once down from Shiroyama Park where the hotel is located. If you are to enjoy a night around town and a few glasses of shochu, we highly recommend you make use of the shuttle bus which is quick and runs until around 11pm, giving you plenty of time to have a fun time in the city.

    But this wouldn’t be a complete experience without an onsen bath, and thanks to the hotel’s prime location overlooking the city and Sakurajima at a distance, a dip in the hotel’s own hot spring comes included with what could be rated as one of the best onsen views in Japan. At Satsuma-No-Yu, guests can enjoy a spa, complete with a sauna, a relaxation room, a massage area, and large indoor and outdoor baths. Good weather pending, the views from the active volcano at anytime of the day are stunning and unforgettable. For an even more magical scene, you are encouraged to take a spot in the outdoor bath at sunrise or during sunset.
