Although a bit far away and long to get to by train, it is a nice hotel in a beautiful location. Just quick walk from the pool down to a fantastic beach below the hotel.
Although there is a restaurant at the hotel, it only serves meals to those who have it as part of their booking for you cannot order food there. So, you must go to the town about to kilometers away to get any food or convenience store.

I had a room with an ocean view, which was very nice. You could hear the sound of the waves, which was nice and relaxing. The main room was a large 12-mat tatami room and there was also a western-style couch with drink holders. A big closet with lots of hangers. There is a big bathhouse and a jacuzzi available to use, as well as sand-bathing for ¥1,200. There is a very good buffet breakfast in a room overlooking the ocean. Very good value for the money.

The service was outstanding! Every care was taken to assure we were comfortable and our plans were intact. This included picking us up at the train station at midnight after travel mishaps, helping us figure out taxi, busss, and train travel to a seaside Onsen, and calling ahead to our next destination to coordinate a shuttle.
This is one of the few places that saw my long legs and immediately went to get a larger Yukata and slippers.
The Onsens at the property were also first rate.

Beautiful, clean and very comfortable! Good location and very responsive communication
Ibusuki is a wonderful location with great food, great...
Ibusuki is a wonderful location with great food, great beaches and even better people.
On first look it may look like it has had it’s high tide many years ago, there is so much potential and there are projects in place to rejuvenate and inspire. A new beach is being created to capitalise on the existing beautiful white beach a 10min walk from the station.
Also! World famous award-winning ramen just 200m from the station at Menya Jiro (New Yorkers may already know that name).
Enjoy the unique to Ibusuki volcanic sand bath and cross the street for a simple and tasty meal at Angel or grab some tasty treats at the store downstairs.
Sadly, the best beaches are private at overpriced and stuck-in-the-80s hotels so stay at Kokoro-no-Yado for a reasonably priced spa experience with a walk across a sandbar to the island of Chiranjima. Then hit the beach I mentioned earlier and bring a parasol or anything for shade and enjoy the sparkling water.
Visit Ibusuki, walk around and see what it was and can be. Support Ibusuki. I think you’ll agree it’s worth your time.

Not much to see here.
Not much to see here. On the one evening we wandered through the streets the city seemed deserted and empty. The only real attraction is the sand bath. But as stated on there website you are not allowed to use them when you are menstruating. Why that is I do not know. I feel it is very ignorant and intolerant. The warm sand could be very beneficial to people with period cramps. Menstruating is not dirty or unhygienic.

Just 1 hour away from Kagoshima by train (JR Line), Isubuki...
Just 1 hour away from Kagoshima by train (JR Line), Isubuki is definetly worth to visit and try the local sand spas (around 1.200 Yen per person). Allow 2h for the this world unique experience. Bring a towel!
At the station your find the only 7 Eleven in the village. Is like 20 min walking to the Sand Spa (no bus available)
The Staff was very welcoming and helpful, starting with kindly greeting us at Ibusuki train station and generously providing a ride to the ryokan. Loved the traditional tatami room and wonderful hot springs (even with a private bath area). The owner was very responsive to communication via Booking message app and also has very strong English so all went smoothly. Breakfast on site was very good and convenient since restaurants are primarily near the station.
The staff were very helpful and friendly. There was a typhoon coming as I checked into the hotel.
The restaurant was only available for pre-booked guests and the staff supplied me with alternative food until the restaurant could accommodate me the following night for dinner and breakfast the next day.
Without them I would have been sick with hunger.
Thank you
The restaurant food was amazing Japanese food which I would out have had anywhere else in Japan.
Only 5 minutes away from the train station, I loved this beautiful house with wooden floors, and even decided to stay an extra night in my busy schedule. I used daily one of the three bicycles lent freely by the property to visit Ibusuki and its immediate surroundings. I will return longer to that hostel on my next Japanese trip and take the train locally to the volcano Kaimondake, or by bus to the Peace Museum (WWII aviation) and other places of interest.
The location was easy to walk to or catch a bus or ride a taxi. The Onsen and spa facilities were amazing. The restaurant served great food. The small shop had delicious ice creams and omiyagi. Our package included a Japanese breakfast which was delicious. We stayed in the newer part of the hotel. It was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and super helpful… even insisting on carrying our hiking packs for us! Would book again without hesitation.
Very comfortable place with an awesome host in a quiet area. A free bicycle made everything in Ibusuki close and the host gave me a ride when I needed one. The stay made me feel at home and would be spacious enough for a full house. I extended my stay 2 times and keep this place in mind as one of the most heartwarming. The interior, kitchen utensils and washing machine were also very useful. Thank you so much for having me :) I had a great time!
Everything. The staff were amazing and treated us like royalty. They provided free shuttle rides to the port when a taxi wasn’t found. They gave me a wake up call when I overslept and prepared special breakfast. the location is not in the town centre but a train station is very close and a shuttle is provided. The food and the spa where both out of this world. if I could give them 11 out of 10, I would have done so.
Our stay here definitely exceeded expectations, with this ryokan rating as our best stay in Kyushu over the 10 days we visited. Staff were very helpful on check in and departure. Parking worked nicely. Dinner was outstanding and the staff who helped explain the kaiseki meal to us were fantastic. Our room had views looking out to sea, which was special. The onsen was nice too. All in all a great stay!
The owner is super nice and cool! I really like that guy! There are plenty of bathrooms and showers - all clean. The beds were pretty comfortable, and you can tell some forethought went into the construction of the beds. The location is great! Super close to Ibusuki Station, the one and only sand onsen, and a few great restaurants. It feels really safe and is a great value for what you get.
Nice remote area of Japan worth exploring off the beaten tourist path.
Quiet , relaxing, beautiful view of bay.
Love the “onsen” - especially the outside bath sitting over cliff edge. Not talking about the pool. Which is very rudimentary- small wading pool only.
Staff is very nice and super helpful.
The hotel is located in a beautiful natural setting, on the seafront and with spectacular views. The hotel staff treated us very kindly and helped us with everything we needed. They even picked us up and took us to the station when we left. They made us feel at home! Highly recommended
Great location on foot from sand bath, onsen, restaurants, konbini. Nice and responsive host: clear instructions, restaurant recommendations and very kind. We were by car, there was parking reserved for one car. Recommend this place if you visit Ibusuki!
The place is amazing not too far from the train station and the amenities are awesome and relaxing and. couple / family friendly . We love the onsen and sauna rooms and the restaurant food especially the chicken inside the onsen building is a must try .
Pro - offer unique hot sand onsen until 9pm, must try. Room is clean, specious, if you select sea view, you get best sun rise view from the sea. Inclusive dinner and breakfast were nice. Public onsen is as good.
Very good breakfast buffet for all japanese wishes and western wishes.
Rotemburo and Onsen. Possibility for sandbath with surcharge.
Free Shuttle Bus 3 times a day with timetable to the station of Ibusuki.
I loved the view of the ocean from the hotel room and from the onsen.
The beds were very comfortable, and the shuttle to the sand bath was very convenient.
The breakfast was quite varied, a good balance of all food groups.
Hotel was quiet. Nice balcony with a bay view, even through it was foggy one morning
