    This is genuinely one of the best places I have stayed in Japan. It has such a lovely, creative atmosphere. A true gem set on the beach where I fell asleep listening to the waves every night.

    This place was the most stunning spot I have ever stayed - the attention to detail for the design was immaculate. The view was also stunning. The staff was super kind and helpful. We even got to see a volcano erupt from the balcony!

Private showers & toilets are not available in all rooms at our facility, and we have shared showers & toilets instead. The lounge is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the breathtaking moments of seeing Sakurajima, one of Japan's most active and beautiful volcanoes, and the symbol of Kagoshima. Enjoy spectacular views of Kinko bay surrounding the volcano as well. The vintage styled rooms feature imported décor from America, Europe, India, and other Asian countries. Blending all these interiors creates a unique classic atmosphere, which evokes nostalgic feelings. You can also feel our avant-garde art vibe. Our design and atmosphere will give you a unique guesthouse experience, unlike most you have stayed in before. We appreciate your understanding that there is no elevator or TV in the facility.
