Ryokan Onsen Hotel Nakahara Bessou Nonsmoking, Earthquake retrofit
892-0841 Kagoshima, Kagoshima, Terukuni-cho, Japan – Great location - show map
The hotel is a bit far from the station, I would recommend catching the street car or taxi to the hotel. All the major restaurant and shopping areas in the city are between the main station and the hotel. The hotel itself is old but very charming and clean. I would recommend it to the traveler looking for a retro cultural feel in their stay. The public bath is very nice and seems a bit luxurious for such a modest hotel.
United States of AmericaThe breakfast was traditional Japanese, so for me took me out of my comfort zone and was a trial by taste and texture; I'm still not certain what everything I ate was, but it pushed my boundaries. The room was ryokan style and would apparently sleep four, but possibly four adults would find it a little tight. The staff were superb and very friendly. The in house onsen was a pleasant surprise, and very clean.
United KingdomLiked the view of the park and the traditional Japanese room. Staff were excellent. Loved the antiques in the room and and on display.
AustraliaThe staff is really helpful and nice, 4 choices of breakfast are offered, the onsen is great, the location couldn't be better. I had a Japanese style bedroom, with ensuite. My room was really big and comfortable!
SwitzerlandThe front desk staff were helpful with directions and recommendations. The large family tatami room was comfortable for our group. Our family enjoyed the onsen!
JapanThe staff were very friendly and helpful (well, it's Japan after all) and I actually preferred the somewhat-dated facilities, making the place rather nostalgic and old-school--the way I prefer things. Great location near park. Nice hot onsen but not especially well-presented.
United States of AmericaReally enjoyed my stay in this hotel! Staff is very kind and welcoming! Location is very good, close to the city center. The Tatamis bedroom was comfortable and quiet. Thanks a lot!
United KingdomExcellent location close to shopping center, walking distance to airport shuttle bus station. Good experience with Japanese style room, onsen.
Chinathe room is super , and the view from the window too , i super love every moment in it , and i like the hotspring too
Hong KongThe location was good, the room was very huge, much bigger than we had expected. The onsen was ok, nothing very impressive, but nothing bad. We took the option with breakfast which made us feel exceptional, lots of staff serving japanese breakfast + private breakfast place just for us two and lots of food. Very great place to stay

-
- What's a ryokan?
- A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature bathhouses, multicourse dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travelers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation surrounded by therapeutic mineral springs.
-
- What are the big differences between a ryokan and a hotel?
- Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is just a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just a place to sleep. In Japan, many travelers journey long distances to relax in a hot spring bath and feast on a traditional multicourse dinner – staying in a ryokan is an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw floors and futon beds (no Western beds and carpeting). You should also remove your shoes at the entrance of the room, or before you enter it. Modern ryokans might serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while more traditional ryokans tend to serve in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms have a private bathroom, and others might just have a shared bathroom.
-
- What's a kaiseki meal?
- Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodying beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Every one of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multicourse Japanese dinner is prepared in a way that highlights the unique textures, colors, and flavors of featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Most commonly served at special restaurants and ryokans, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-size appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish, like sushi), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot-pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
-
- What's a yukata?
- A yukata is a casual summer kimono or robe, typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans provide guests with yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it's common to see guests strolling through the neighborhood in their yukatas. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for sleeping and relaxing in.
-
- How should I wear a yukata?
- First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a robe. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then, take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is level at your ankles. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
-
- What's a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?
- Onsen (literally "hot spring") is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
-
- What's standard bathing etiquette?
- At a bathhouse—onsen or not—guests are expected to remove all clothing in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you should not put towels in the water.
-
- Why are tattoos not allowed?
- While tattoos have become more popular among Japan's youth, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you might still be refused admission to bathhouses and swimming pools. Small tattoos can be covered up using waterproof bandaids, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.
