Experience of the stay
”ダイワロイネットホテル鹿児島天文館PREMIER”にHafHで泊まってきました！
ダイワロイネットホテル鹿児島天文館 PREMIERは空港からリムジンバスで直結なので、めちゃくちゃアクセスが良く、はじめての鹿児島旅行にオススメですよー。
【部屋】
部屋に入ると右側にバスルームがあります。その先にクローゼットがあるのですが、扉を開けるとだいぶ通路が狭くなってしまい、ちょっと微妙でした。インテリアは白とブラウンで統一されていて落ち着いた雰囲気です。
部屋の窓からは天文館の繁華街や城山が見えて気持ちが良い！目の前が大きな通りなので夜も窓の外が明るかったです。（遮光カーテンがあるので眠れました。）繁華街にあるホテルなので、少し音も気になるかもしれません。
バスルームはガラス張りで独立したタイプで、通常のダイワロイネットはユニットバスが多い中、さすがプレミアだと思いました。お風呂はレインシャワー付き、シャワーヘッドは人気のReFa FINE BUBBLEで楽しかったです！浴槽の背中が当たる部分がちょっと変わった形をしていて、肩甲骨を刺激しセルフマッサージできるタイプでした。
【アメニティ】
基本的なアメニティは部屋にあらかじめ置いてあり、ほかはフロントにアメニティバーがあって好きなだけ部屋に持っていくことができます。ダイワロイネットホテルといえば、アメニティバーの種類が多いのが1番の魅力！バスソルトや雪肌精・LUCIDEの基礎化粧品、ヘアオイルに2種類のドリップコーヒー、歯間ブラシもあります。さらにリクエストすれば4種類の枕、老眼鏡、アイロンなどもオーダーできてすごい！部屋着は上下セパレートタイプでした。
ダイワロイネットホテル鹿児島天文館 PREMIERは新しく居心地のよいホテルでしたよー！空港アクセスが良く、商業施設直結で便利なので初日や最終日に予約するのがオススメ。
Experiences during the trip
We spent our first night of a 3-day trip to Kagoshima at Daiwa Roynet Hotel Kagoshima Tenmonkan PREMIER, and when the bus arrived, the hotel was right in front of us, directly connected to the shopping mall 'Senteras Tenmonkan', which was very reassuring as it had everything we needed.
We also booked our flight with JAL through the travel subscription HafH, departing Haneda at 13:30 and arriving in Kagoshima at 15:20, so we wrapped up work in the morning and dashed to Haneda! From Kagoshima Airport, it takes about 45 minutes to get to Kagoshima Central Station or Tenmonkan by bus, and the fare is 1,400 yen. Getting off the airport limousine bus at Tenmonkan, the hotel was truly right in front of us. This was incredibly convenient when you have no knowledge of the area. It’s perfect for the first night of your stay!
Here are some recommended Kagoshima gourmet spots and attractions that we actually visited.
【Ajimori】
Known as the birthplace of black pork shabu shabu, “Black Pork Cuisine Ajimori” is a 5-minute walk from the hotel. The shabu shabu, eaten with a special broth, is exquisite! The cuts of meat include belly, loin, and shoulder loin. Since it's a popular place, reserving a table in advance is recommended.
【Tenmonkan Mujaki】
Mujaki, said to be the origin of Kagoshima's famous shaved ice 'Shirokuma', is located in the Tenmonkan arcade, just a 3-minute walk from the hotel. The main store was crowded, so we went to the Amu Plaza branch directly connected to Kagoshima Central Station! It was also busy, but you can easily get a handheld Shirokuma to go and eat right away.
【Shiroyama Observatory】
The Shiroyama Observatory, which offers a beautiful view of Sakurajima, was about a 20-minute search from the hotel on Google Maps. However, it was quite tough to climb the steep stairs once I got there...!! After climbing the steep stairs for about 10 minutes, I finally reached a scenic spot where I could see Sakurajima and the large torii gate of Terukuni Shrine. To get to the observatory, you need to climb even higher, but it seemed challenging, so I turned back halfway.
【Terukuni Shrine】
Terukuni Shrine is on the way to Shiroyama Observatory and is marked by the large torii gate. This shrine, dedicated to the lord Shimazu Nariakira, is the largest shrine in Kagoshima and attracts many visitors.
【Saigo Takamori Statue】
Very close to Terukuni Shrine is the statue of Saigo Takamori. Living in Tokyo, it’s natural to imagine the statue of Saigo Takamori in Ueno Park with my beloved dog Tun, but this statue of Saigo in Kagoshima is quite famous.
【Ishin Furusato-kan】
The "Ishin Furusato-kan," operated by Kagoshima City, is quite impressive and worth visiting. It includes a short film about the history of the late Edo period to the Meiji Restoration and the stories of young people from the Satsuma clan who studied abroad against the national ban, and the quality of the film was high. This is a must-visit place!
【Ibusuki Sand Bath Sato】
The day after our stay, we went for a day trip to the Ibusuki sand bath, Sato. It's only a 40-minute ride from Kagoshima to Ibusuki if you take the sightseeing train Tamatebako, which is quite convenient. Since Tamatebako is very popular, it is recommended to purchase tickets in advance.
From the train window, Sakurajima looked beautiful! It's so nice to have large windows on a sightseeing train. It was a great memory, especially with the smoke (mist) billowing from the train and the luxurious interior with stained glass.
It was my first time experiencing a sand bath, and it was quite hot, but the weight of the sand felt pleasant, and I was able to sweat nicely! The Ibusuki sand bath, Sato, is a casual place that feels like a super sento, and you can go without a reservation, so make sure to give it a try!
