La Vista Kirishima Hills

I was not expecting such a beautiful room for the price we paid and with such peace and privacy including our own hot spring bath. We would have happily stayed a week to explore the Kirishima area and use the hot spring facilities at the hotel if we had the time. The views from the hotel were just breath taking and its website photos do not do it justice. Staff very welcoming on arrival. Didn’t get the chance to use other facilities as only overnight stay but noted lots of little free treats such as noodles and icecream at different times of the day. Plenty of Free onsite parking.

The view of an active volcano from the window and from the hot spring bathtub on the balcony. Extraordinary. Location is also amazing. Easy to arrange a taxi to the national park area or use the infrequent bus service. National park in itself is a gem worthy of a visit, especially for volcano lovers and this is by far the best hotel to choose for this endeavour. All the facilities and amenities were in proper order. Great value.

The staff were helpful and friendly, and we noticed there was also great facilities for those travelling with dogs (though we were not). The room was large, and the hot spring outdoor bath was nice (though not really big enough for 2 people to enjoy together).

Spacious rooms. Loved the private onsens. Meals are Japanese-Italian fusion - a little strange but still special. Excellent breakfast.

The staff are very friendly and helpful, good breakfast, easy parking beside the hotel. Will stay here again.
