"また泊まりたい宿です。清潔さ→お部屋など申し分なかったのですが1箇所、大浴場のお手洗いが行き届いていなかったのが残念でした。トイレタンク上の手洗いの黒ずみです。対応→少しだけ冷たい態度の方がいらっしゃいましたが、夕食の際の女性スタッフの方は、最高でした！翌朝、男性の露天風呂のお湯が抜けていたそうです。女性は大丈夫だったです。お湯が良かっただけに残念がっていました。食事はどれもとても美味しかったです。特に朝食の釜で炊き上げられたご飯はそれだけでもまた再訪したいと思えるくらい絶品でした。色々言ってしまいましたが、再訪したい気持ちに変わりありません！ありがとうございました。"

Top Sano Shrine Hotel Reviews

Kirishima Kokusai Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was nice but my room was very warm. Ac not very cool"

The Pulse KIRISHIMA

10/10 Excellent

"There are many hotels to choose from in the Kirishima area, but I selected Pulse Kirishima because it's only about a 5-minute drive from Kirishima Jingu, making it a great base for sightseeing. I highly recommend booking a room in the Renovated Wing. We stayed in a Superior Room, and it was well worth it. The renovated wing is much closer to the lobby, restaurant, pool, and onsen, making it very convenient. The view from our room was stunning. However, if you're visiting during the summer, keep in mind that you'll likely hear noise from the pool until around 6:00 PM. This hotel is especially popular with families, including grandparents traveling with young children. The atmosphere is lively and family-friendly, but if you're looking for a quiet, peaceful retreat, you may want to consider another property. At check-in, guests can reserve private karaoke rooms and a private onsen for an additional fee, which is a nice option for families or couples. The parking lot fills up quickly, so I recommend arriving early. The check-in process began around 2:30 PM, with room keys distributed at 3:00 PM. While the process was organized, I think a welcome drink service during the wait would have made the arrival experience even better. There aren't many restaurants in the surrounding area, so I highly recommend booking the half-board plan, which includes both the dinner and breakfast buffets. It was the most convenient option and made our stay much more enjoyable."

Kirishima Momijidani Seiryuso

10/10 Excellent

"I have traveled and worked in Japan for 10 years. This hotel onsen is the finest I have visited. The baths are located in your room, in common areas and in private family baths. There is a very special bath just steps away from the hotel below a WATERFALL, that can only be described as HEAVEN ON EARTH. I will return for another week at this hotel in April. Thank you Expedia for leading me to this magnificent destination."
