Bihadanoyu Koshikano Onsen

This was a one-night stay on my travels to through Kagoshima and I wished I had stayed longer. It is not near many creature comforts. There is a Family Mart 6 minutes away and recommend getting some items for your room. The place was quirky and really cool! They had so many different room types. I had one with an onsen in the room which was so cool! The rooms was small but comfortable. They had multiple amenities for free. Yukatas, obi's, toiletries (they had sheet masks for your face). Multiple places to sit and eat communally with your group or others. I believe there was an onsen but I got in so late I couldn't' check out the onsen that is open to all hotel goers. I saw tat they had rooms with full kitchenettes and patio firepits where you can order different wood types and items for the firs (like smores kits, etc.). They had a place that you could eat but I did not get a chance to partake. Also a big menu of things you can order to your room. You can buy ice cream, beer, champagne. There is even a small communal area where you can shop to buy those things for consumption. The lobby closes at 10PM so these little things all over the venue helps if you need something. There are multiple free drink areas (coffee, and tea). The location is remote but beautiful. Coming from Okinawa and seeing all of the mountains and trees was awesome. it is very quiet at night as it is in a small farming village. It is a 15-20 drive to Kagoshima airport so not crazy far from things. I would come back to check out the dome rooms and the first pits ones as well.

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.

We booked the Twin Room with Open-Air Bath and it was incredible! Both inside and outside baths were amazing. There is a free shuttle bus from and to the Kokubu Station within certain hours. This is a perfect accommodation for a short stay to relax, birthdays or special anniversaries.

- SO. NICE. to have an onsen in your room! At such an affordable price too. The size wasn't bad either, with room to stretch out your legs. You can also adjust the temperature by adding cold water, which is a nice touch for people who prefer less scalding baths. - The bed and pillow were so comfortable. Everyone slept great, it was absolute heaven. I liked both so much that I asked for the hotel for the company and name of each products. - In every interaction the staff were very kind and accommodating. I will say that the Walkie Talkie left out for calling the front desk after normal hours didn't seem to work, but I was able to flag someone down anyways so not too big of a deal. - When we stayed, you got a discount coupon for drinks by adding the hotel on LINE. My friends and I were able to use an annex building to relax, drink, and play card games since there is no space in the rooms themselves. - Location isn't too bad either. We went to Kirishima Jingu the next day, which is only about 20 minutes by car. - Breakfast buffet was decent, not great though. - Overall, I would love to stay here again. I would just make sure to bring less luggage, maybe my own breakfast, and leave as much time as possible to relax in the room/onsen!

Delightful Staff who went out of their way to be helpful. Fantastic free transfers to local stations on request and they even fetched us from the airport when our car hire went wrong . The private onsen was wonderful. Meals were really excellent . Don’t miss out on these
