Kyushu, Japan hotel rooms at the Ishin

"The hotel is well situated just opposite to the station on a big square; it has a beautiful view to the volcano and the breakfast buffet is excellent :-)"

"This is really something to be experienced. It is new (2023) and massive - hundreds and hundreds of guests. It is a spa, first and foremost. The rooms are huge, quiet, and elegant; the numerous staff are efficient and multi-lingual. Hot springs in the building, hundreds of guests strolling about in hotel yukata, views of the peaks and ocean. The optional meals are definitely recommended - the food is fantastic and also it is a long hike to get down the mountain. Partner likened it to a luxury cruise ship on land."

"Great location, just a 2-3min walk from Kumamoto Station/ Amu Plaza. We were blessed with a high floor twin room with good view of the city. Room is tight & would be tough to open up luggage but it was ok for us as we had couriered our large luggages to the next hotel. Beds were ok and the free breakfast was basic but adequate & yummy to me. Great value for the price."

"I stay here so often that I should enquire about an apartment. Friendly staff who are very personable and kind. Kumamoto is the nicest place in the world 😍"

"Clean, comfortable and convenient. Good hot springs facilities."

"Loved our stay at this hotel! The bathing facilities and free amenities were probably the highlight of my stay. You can check how busy the baths are via the hotel tv in your room, so that was helpful in deciding when to go. Free late night udon and free after bath popsicles/yogurt were a nice plus. There's also a welcome dessert in your fridge when you arrive! I really enjoyed the manga library they have in the 'cooldown' room outside the baths. The location was also great since it was near a lot of the things we wanted to see and do in Kagoshima. Only complaint was that the room didn't have enough charging outlets or USB outlets, but it didn't effect my overall enjoyment of my stay. Would stay again and highly recommend! "

"The reception were very good."
