About KAI Kirishima

"KAI Kirishima" is a hot spring ryokan in Kirishima City, Kagoshima Prefecture. Set on the mountainside of Mount Takachiho, where mythology lives on, it offers expansive views of Sakurajima from every room. In a susuki grassland reached by slope car from the guest room building, a bathing pavilion stands quietly, and you can enjoy an open-air bath with an unobstructed panoramic view right in front of you. The indoor baths include both a hot bath and a lukewarm bath, letting you fully enjoy the natural hot spring water straight from the source. With kaiseki cuisine featuring Kagoshima specialties and a dynamic performance of "Tenson Kōrin" by the staff, this property offers a special stay where you can deeply experience the region's culture and history.
