Guests can enjoy sea views from the balcony and drink green tea at their rooms. The air-conditioned rooms feature tatami (woven-straw) floors and Japanese futon bedding. A flat-screen TV, a fridge and an en suite bathroom are included in each.

The Ryokan has traditional gardens, a sauna room and a small souvenir shop. Guests can relax with a craft/art museum and cafe. Daily newspapers and luggage storage are available. This hotel was a very nice surprise. Our room was exceptional - a very spacious, luxurious room with four different areas. The entry way to our room as well as the furnishings in the room were beautiful. It was a great place to relax. The view from our windows was magnificent! Our dinner was very delicious and filling. The breakfast was also very good. The hot sand bath - sunamushi sakaba - was a new, great experience for us. The onsen area is very large and clean, a nice place to soak after a long day. If you go, enjoy the bar located by the onsen - it's free to hotel guests and the bartender was very kind.

All units in the ryokan are equipped with a kettle. With a private bathroom fitted with a bidet and slippers, units at the ryokan also boast free WiFi, while certain rooms have a balcony. At the ryokan, every unit is fitted with bed linen and towels.

There is a snack bar, and a minimarket is also available. The ryokan is located in a geothermal area, with a number of hot springs nearby for guests to relax in. Tucked into the mist-veiled mountains just a short drive from Kagoshima Airport, this discreet riverside retreat feels like something out of a dream. As we ascended the winding road, a monsoon rain had transformed the landscape into a cinematic scene, verdant trees glistening, steam curling above the swollen river, and a hushed stillness that signaled we were somewhere special. The welcome was as warm as the mineral-rich waters. The owner herself greeted us with genuine hospitality that felt deeply personal, ushering us into a room that opened to our own private onsen, a sanctuary of steam and silence. Yet it was the communal baths that truly stole the show: outdoor, gender-separated, and perched dramatically above the river, where bathing in the rain felt almost spiritual, as if the past ten days of travel were being washed away one drop at a time. Dinner was a quiet triumph: a Taiwanese set menu that, while simple, was balanced and deeply satisfying, comfort food elevated by care and context. In a final act of kindness, our host insisted on driving us to the airport the next morning, leaving us feeling both spoiled and a little foolish. Because if there’s one regret, it’s this: staying only one night. Next time, we’ll linger. And you should too.

Situated within 47 km of Kagoshima Chuo Station and 48 km of Kagoshima Station, Bihadanoyu Koshikano Onsen offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Kirishima. This ryokan features free private parking, free shuttle service and free WiFi. The ryokan provides a hot spring bath and a housekeeping service. Although the room was very small, the adjacent private onsen was awesome and also the staff was very helpful and provided shuttle transfer to the next train station for arrival and departure and also during our stay for day trips. We spent four nights at the place and had a great time, taking trips to Kagoshima, Izumi, spent a day hiking in the surrounding hills and recovered at the onsen in the evenings.
