I was nervous since I’ve never spent this much on an overnight stay before but everything was perfect. Reception was great and welcoming. The room wa a beautiful and spacious. The food was amazing!! And they brought it to the room (the sever we had was so nice and friendly). Our room had a outdoor bath and it really hit the spot. 10/10 experience I would stay here again and recommend to my friends.

very nice stay
Very close Kagoshima airport. We’re greeted at the entrance and they parked our car and moved our luggages to our rooms while we were enjoying the welcome drinks and snacks. Service was exceptional. The place is very relaxing as it is not very big and grounds are well appointed. The onsen is very nice. We had a wonderful stay.

The dinner was luxurious and of high quality. Very personalised service with detailed explanation of each dish as well as the property and welcome tea when we first arrived. Property is abit old and faded to me but for some that may be an attraction itself due to the rustic look. It is located in a residence area but once in the ryokan you feel like you are shut off from the rest of the whole. Beautiful central Japanese garden with a perfect view for breakfast. Brought my parents there and they loved it so much, it is the perfect place to rest and relax and just unwind always from the hustle and bustle of life.

Very peaceful place in a very peaceful city. The onsen was also clean and well maintained. Room was good and large enough for two. Highly recommended for people who're interested in a ryokan. The only thing which I had expected more could be the food. Food wasn't bad at all, just a bit less excellent than the food that I took in the local restaurants -- had to compare since most food're the same kind.

Worth to stay or not
Friendly speaking, too much expectation to this hotel. Need to drive 5-10mins to have dinner outside, not much choice to choose Onsen is good but is public Breakfast is traditional Japanese style But if it is more convenient for buying and dining is better

All were very nice, just a little bit disappointed by the size and view of the outdoor hot spring, understood that little view was for privacy though.

Nice water and public hot spring for day onsen
We stayed in Munian Villa with private indoor and outdoor big hot spring, the water was very nice. The room was spacious and the food & service were fine. But the outdoor pool was not clean, and the location was in the centre, you can imagine the noise of traffic. I recommend to have day onsen (no staying) instead, as it was slightly over-priced.

6-STAR EXPERIENCE AT YAKAKUTEI KIRISHIMA
Yakakutei is nestled in Kirishima town. We were on a driving tour, having left Fukuoka in the morning. Arriving at Yakakutei at about 4pm, we were pleasantly surprised to see the hotel staff waiting at the driveway despite a drizzle. Umbrella in hand, he helped us unload our luggage and parked our car for us. Check in was the way it should be done, with us seated comfortably at a living room area in front of a beautiful Japanese garden. The rain added that magical touch. Still don't understand why 5-star hotels check in experiences are still standing up at a counter more than 10 minutes. But Yakakutei has the right touch. The hotel complex is architecturally interesting with a round glass house as a dining area, offering a circumscribe view of the Japanese garden. Needless to say, the onsen was nice too. Dinner was delivered dish by dish, with a beautiful origami crane decorated menu. My! Attention to details is what I look out for. Service was excellent from arrival to departure.

Lovely staff and thoughtful hospitality
We were greeted with freshly made japanese green tea after a long travel. Lovely garden and outdoor onsen. We stayed around early March and it was relatively quiet. The manager also makes a special arrangement of a packed breakfast as we have to leave for an early ferry. Very helpful staff.

Nice family getaway
My parents are shy and find it weird to go public onsen bath naked, so I picked Villa Munian which has private onsen where they can enjoy onsen alone. The private onsen is very nice and we doesn't feel cold walking to/from the onsen to indoor despite 4degrees weather. Buddhist stupa in the public garden is soothing, you can sit in front of it to enjoy fresh air and the scenery. Service is very good.

Beautiful Onsen and Gardens
My daughter and I were treating ourselves to a traditional Japanese hotel with onsen (hot springs). This place was quite beautiful. The onsen had a large outdoor pools area as well as a nice sized indoor hot pool. The landscape in the courtyards was beautifully maintained and lush. The futons were really comfortable and the large, soft duvets made us not want to get out of bed! We were served a traditional Japanese breakfast that must have had 25 small special dishes. Really wonderful.
