Kagoshima Tokyu Hotel

Frommer's Review

This first-rate medium-priced hotel is in a newer area of Kagoshima, smack-dab on the waterfront with a good view of the volcano, even from its lobby lounge. Its twins and doubles face the water with balconies -- great for watching the sun rise over Sakurajima. Note that singles, however, all face inland. All feature tempurapedic pillows, focused bed lights, and LCD TVs. Outdoor pools, including a children's pool and an outdoor hot-spring pool and Jacuzzi open year-round (you wear your bathing suits here), are free to hotel guests, making this a good bet for families. In summer, take advantage of the outdoor, seaside beer terrace with its good view. The main disadvantage, however, is that it's a 15-minute bus ride from the station and downtown.

Facilities: 2 restaurants; bar; summer beer garden; outdoor pool; children's pool; outdoor hot-spring bath; Jacuzzi; concierge; shopping arcade; salon; room service (noon-9:30pm); in-room massage; same-day laundry/dry-cleaning service; nonsmoking rooms; coin-op lobby computer.
