Ibusuki Kaijo Hotel

The front desk staff were very nice. Since Ibusuki is a very small town and the Go app doesn't work there, the front desk helped us to call a taxi. They also recommended a great izakaya within walking distance. This hotel is great because you can get the black sand bath right at the hotel. We arrived late and still managed to do the black sand bath, then enjoyed the huge onsen on the top floor with beautiful views of the ocean. It was wonderful. The dressing area of the onsen was large and had many amenities at each mirror station that were needed to get ready. Top it all off with free popsicles on your way out! We had a very nice tatami room. My parents had a huge 2 bed Western room. They had room with the beds, a living area with electric reclining chairs and a tatami room off to the side. Both rooms had a balcony with ocean views! A nice touch was the hot water pot and tea bags and snacks that were provided. There were also free non-alcoholic drinks in the lobby from 3-7pm I think. We only stayed overnight, but I wish we had another day to enjoy a bit more of the town and the beach and to sit out on the balcony and enjoy the views.

Rooms facing towards the ocean was nice but you could see rainwear which is quite unmaintained so little unfortunate but overall i say looks nice. And electric sofa extendable was nice. Free drink was nice with the ocean view. Sand bath service in the hotel was very convenient and relaxing.

Gorgeous ocean view and very friendly staff

Beautiful view of the ocean, the staff are such kind people!

Stuff was very kind and the view from the room was splendid
