Furusato Kanko Hotel Review

Although this ryokan on Sakurajima is inconvenient for sightseeing, it's great for relaxation. It boasts open-air hot-spring baths set amid rocks right beside the sea, an indoor 25m (82-ft.) lap pool heated with hot springs, and indoor hot-spring baths overlooking the sea (hotel guests are charged a one-time rental fee of ¥210 for the bathing yukata). Afterward, retire to the shrinelike Meditation Room for spiritual cleansing as well. Rooms are all Japanese style, most with balconies overlooking great sea views. Some even boast views from their bathrooms, while the very best (and most expensive) have private terraces with outdoor hot-spring baths. Breakfast features kamameshi (rice casseroles) made with hot-spring water; dinner consists mainly of seafood, tonkotsu (slowly stewed pork), and other local specialties. Movies (sometimes English-language) are shown nightly in a small theater. This is a great getaway.

Facilities:
Restaurant (serving lunch only); indoor pool; great indoor/outdoor hot-spring baths

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
