“We will recommend to our friends to come here to stay”

Owner very nice and friendly, we have a good chat. Spa has good privacy and nice.

“Great vintage hotel with mountain views, onsen bath and helpful staff.”

Yes, the hotel is a bit dated but that adds to the charm. The rooms are clean, beds comfortable and have everything you need. The real reason to stay here is the elderly lady who runs the place. Very welcoming despite the language barrier (google translate is a great help) and goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay. The free private onsen and complentary simple breakfast is a bonus too. If you want genuine Japanese hospitality away from the chain hotels this is the place. Ps, get the izakaya tip from the elderly lady which is about 10 min walk away. Great food and drink at a reasonable price in a traditional Japanese boozer.

“Lovely helpful manager and a spacious comfortable room with views”

Nice and spacious room with views of Sakurajima, a little bit dated but very comfortable and clean and the lady managing the hotel is extremely helpful and nice providing 5 star customer service. Conversation via translator app but that works fine.

“No frills, nice, friendly”

The owner and her staff made everything possible to make my stay nice and easy. The onsen was nice with naturally heated water, which is getting rare. Simple stay, but nice and friendly.

“Only if you need a place just to sleep ...”

- Location and size of the room

“Nice views over Karasujima - a lovely stay!”

I really enjoyed my stay at Hoshi no Sato and the lady that runs the hotel is very sweet and does a great job. The room I had was wonderful with a nice view over the volcano Karasujima. The private onsen was amazing too and I loved using that! All in all, a nice hotel and I would recommend to others!

“Best host”

This was one of the greatest host we experienced in Japan she and her son really did everything to make us feel at home and taken care of us, even driving us to restaurants to eat dinner every night as the hotel is a 1 kilometre walk on dark road to the restaurants era Thank you very much for a wonderful stay

“Great value and amazing service”

Super friendly and helpful staff, comfortable, lovely private onsen, 15 min walk to restaurants and an easy drive to hiking, simple breakfast.

“A great place to relax in great conditions and beautiful surroundings”

A large comfortable room with a beautiful view of Sakurajima. In the room Yakutas with haori are waiting for guests. In the yard there is an onsen with natural hot springs, a great place to rest and relax. In addition to the offer, a light breakfast awaits you in the morning - you won't leave hungry. The host is a very nice lady. To say that the service is absolutely exemplary is an understatement. Maruo Falls is nearby, it's worth to see. I would definitely choose again.

“The hotel room is old, thus, room is spacious but not value for money”

Room was spacious and parking is free.

“Awesome host and very clean stay.”

Super friendly host who went above and beyond to be more than accommodating with very clean rooms. It’s also very near all the hot spots of kirishima. Making it a convenient base for all your adventures. You get have to the whole onsen to yourself as well.

Good location for going hiking from Ebino Plateau. Staff were very helpful with making sure I was getting on the correct bus, and also bus times when checking out. It is down the hill behind La Vista Resort, look for the black cat signs.

The staff here were amazing, extremely nice people and went above and beyond to make our stay great

It was our second time staying here and we really enjoyed it again. The hosts are super friendly and helpful.

“Would absolutely recommend and I would stay again.”

Lovely hot spring bath. Fantastic friendly and helpful staff. Picturesque location and close to Ebino Plateau and great hiking.

“Highly recommend!”

I had a great stay here. The staff are very warm and welcoming.

“Nice owner but old facilities.”

Helpful and attentive owner, nice gesture to offer small breakfast consisting at egg and bread and coffee. Clean rooms and common areas.

It's in a nice quiet area, about a 10 minute walk from the bus stop. The gardens are very pretty and there are two onsens for private use. Breakfast was small but adequate. Staff were helpful.

Loved everything about this place, the owner was lovely, beds super comfortable, plenty of space in the rooms, breakfast provided, private use of two onsen, close to restaurants but in a quiet area. Loved it.
