Beautiful Traditional Japanese Inn right next to the flowing Mauro Falls. The PRIVATE onsen overlooks the river. It is stunning. The staff were so welcoming and ensured you had the best possible stay. When we went to Kirishima Shrine we mentioned we liked walking trails and they suggested we walk Kirishima Gorge. It was sensational and the highlight of Kirishima as it was stunning. The staff will drop you off at the Bus stop anytime you like. It is walking distance into town for the markets. The evening traditional meal was incredible about 20 different items , KAISEKI It was actually a little sad to leave as the Staff made our stay there very special. It is the BEST and only place to stay in Kirishima. When I was deciding where to book a lot of reviews said their accomodation was tired and old. It was traditional, so clean and beautiful.

Standard APA accomodations, but we had a stinky smoking room which was tiny tiny tiny for two people and one tiny bed :/ I think APA does that: they book two people into a "double" then upsell you at the front desk to a bigger room. They did that to us in Ryugoku Tokyo property also...

If you like nature, you must like Kirishima, which is beautiful and peaceful. When you climb up to the volcano, you will be amazed at the magic of nature. The local people can’t communicate with English but very patient and nice.
