ART HOTEL Kagoshima

The room comes with the view of Sakurajima volcano, facing the sea which is good. However, we were not able to open the balcony door due to a hotel notice stating that there are bugs known as "stinky bugs" that are flying around the area. Air conditioner in the room is weak. Beds are still comfortable. Parking is convenient with a fee of 1000yen per night. There is a 7-eleven and family mart located opposite the hotel and about 5 mins drive to a 24hours supermarket. Overall hotel experience is average however Kagoshima is a nice city.

The hotel is a bit far from the city center and there aren’t a lot of public transportation options, but the staff was helpful in getting a taxi for us each time we went out to the city, and the taxi ride was only 10-15 minutes depending on where we went. We had a beautiful view of Sakurajima from our room and the room had 3 beds and a rollaway, perfect for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids. We had dinner at the Japanese restaurant Minato (not the teppanyaki but the Japanese food side) and it was a wonderful experience! We got a private room and the food was delicious, and the price was very reasonable. We would recommend this hotel to families that need multiple beds and to those who want to be a little farther away in a quiet area, with a great view.
