Ibusuki Phoenix Hotel

It was my first trip to Kagoshima, and it was a great value and very satisfying. Dinner was delicious, and the beer was all-you-can-drink, so there were no extra charges, which really helped. I could also enjoy a sand bath at the Hotel, then head straight back to my Room after bathing—very convenient. From the Room, I could relax while watching the ocean and trains passing by again and again. At the breakfast buffet, I tried chicken rice soup for the first time; it was so good that I even bought a freeze-dried version as a souvenir. This was a quick trip, but next time I’d like to come back and take it slow.

It was a family trip. A retro building with a nostalgic Showa-era feel. A clean, well-kept Room. The staff were very friendly and helpful.We also enjoyed the food.We heard there were no group guests that day.We did the sand bath early, and thanks to the energetic staff, it was a fun experience.My family and I are already talking about coming back again.
