Silk Inn Kagoshima
forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.34 out of 5 (2,199 reviews). Many guests praise the quality of the free-flowing natural onsen water, and the breakfast buffet draws compliments for Kagoshima specialties such as keihan (chicken rice). Guests also mention the location within walking distance of Kagoshima-Chuo Station, with restaurants and convenience stores close by. On the other hand, some report that the communal bath water runs hot and is hard to adjust when other bathers are present, so families with small children should keep an eye on the water temperature.
