1st time in Kagoshima, not sure if location of Sun Royal is too far off the main shopping district at first... Glad they provide an hourly free shutter bus that goes to Kagoshima Chuo Station and Tenmonkan district, makes city-seeing so much more convenient and effective! Room is large, we got a twin room which they say all face Sakurajima... Onsen at top level also faces the impressive mountain view, which makes the expression even more unforgettable!!! The hotel property can tell has aged a fair bit, some sort of refurbishment should be considered. Area around hotel is self-sufficient enough, with 2 large malls across the road, boosting hypermarts, drugstores, restaurants and cafes, even a Daiso, Uniqlo and GU.
