With the full opening of the Kyushu Shinkansen, access from the Kansai region has become significantly easier, and Kagoshima's appeal as a travel destination grows year by year. This year also marks the 100th anniversary of the eruption of Sakurajima, the city's symbol, and its magnificent landscape, with white smoke billowing, continues to captivate travelers.

Perched on a hill near the heart of Kagoshima, overlooking the city, stands the "Shiroyama Kanko Hotel." At its "Satsuma no Yu" open-air bath, a renowned viewpoint in Kagoshima Prefecture, guests can relax in a tranquil, unhurried atmosphere while admiring Sakurajima.

The hotel's signature dinner showcases seasonal ingredients luxuriously sourced from the waters near Sakurajima and Kagoshima Bay, offering a delightful taste of each season. Furthermore, the handcrafted beers, brewed on-site and recipients of numerous awards, are sure to soothe the weariness of your journey. The Belgian White, made with the local Sakurajima Komikan (small tangerine), is a must-try brew.

The guest rooms are designed to accommodate various needs, including the 126-square-meter Imperial Suite, furnished in an English classic style, as well as family-type and barrier-free options.

This is a unique opportunity to fully immerse yourself in Kagoshima's cuisine, hot springs, and scenery, all while surrounded by the magnificent natural beauty sculpted by Earth's ancient forces. You will undoubtedly be able to savor the full charm of Kagoshima, a city that thrives alongside the active volcano Sakurajima.
