Hotel Shiroyama

酒店位於湯河原站5分鐘內路程，位於近郊位置，基本上為日本本地遊客多，酒店前台有會説英語的外籍員工，不過由於我會説日語的關係，所以對我來說沒有分別。 套餐包含入住當天的晚餐和第二天的早餐，是次的晚餐於房內進食，早餐到酒店的3樓進食，2天的膳食都非常好吃，而且都很飽，我們亦另加了每人⼀份長腳蟹腳，非常鮮甜。 房間配置方面，房內有私人風呂，2人⼀起浸泉水綽綽有餘，唯一缺點就是因為風呂沒有窗戶不是密封，因此會有蚊子等小昆蟲飛進來，如果容易被蚊咬人士需要注意。房內廁所乾濕分離，2人一起刷牙都很夠位置，廁所內有風筒和直髮夾，女士恩物。 整體來說是非常好的⼀個體驗，不要被酒店外表老舊而卻步，內部裝修都很新，有些房間還是最近才翻新完成，有經過熱海附近都可以選擇到這間酒店入住。

位置易找，酒店雖然舊，但卻帶傳統日式風格。一泊兩食，地方寬躺，性價比高。

I travelled with my elderly father and found this hotel to be one of the best that I have stayed. The level of service from the doorman, to the front desk, the maid service, and the restaraunt staff was far beyond of what I expected! The Shiroyama Hotel has been the crown jewel of Kagoshima and will always will be in my mind.

Amazing Japanese food, traditional Japanese style hotel.

Hotel Shiroyama might be easily overlooked by foreign travelers. And there may be a reason for that. It doesn't really cater to non-Japanese speakers. That said, if you can speak some Japanese and you have a good understanding of Japanese etiquette and rules, you can have an excellent experience at this hotel. (I am a Westerner, I can speak some Japanese, and I have a Japanese husband. All of this was greatly to my benefit, so, keep that in mind as you read this review.) Hotel Shiroyama is, depending on what part of the hotel you are in, quite old. There are parts of it that look like it's from the Showa era, with maroon walls and old-style hotel carpeting. But then... in the men's sento (public bath), it was incredibly beautiful and clean and modern. Small, yes, but still, truly lovely. Also, the rooms: there must have been a "refresh" on all the bathrooms: there were double sinks, a stall shower with an overheard attachment so you can really get a good blasting if you want one, and of course a washlet toilet with the lid that opens when you approach it. The rooms were also quite large, with a separate little sitting area near the window (although there is no view to speak of, at least from the 2nd floor). The pièce de résistance is the Japanese dinner that is served in your room. It is quite astonishing in the number of dishes that are offered: lots of small appetizers, sashimi, sumashijiru (a clear soup that is divine), beef stew covered with a baked rice cracker, several other dishes that are heated at the table, rice, of course, and more. We stopped counting and stopped eating -- it was too much. And then of course there was dessert. Now, I am not saying this was a 5-star meal; some of it was great, the rest was good. But the amount that was served was sort of mind-boggling. Of course you can also order beer or sake or soft drinks to go with the meal. Trust me; for two people, it was just way too much food, unless you have super hearty appetites and absolutely love Japanese cuisine. That said, if you are unable to sit cross-legged in a chair made for that purpose, you will be somewhat uncomfortable for the entire meal. It is all served on a low table, and while you can put your feet under the table, you will not be sitting in a position that is natural for most Westerners. There is a smallish table in the sitting room (near the window), but do not expect them to put the food there, because there are too many dishes and they won't fit. I would say the Hotel Shiroyama went above and beyond to provide a really lovely "Japanese experience" with their dinner. Also, the breakfast served in the morning in a communal dining room was fairly hearty, but it is entirely Japanese. If you are used to eating this way, or you are craving this kind of experience you will enjoy it -- but remember, these meals are "set." There is no substitution for anything. They do not cater to vegetarians, so if you are one, this is not the place for you. The attend

5月の下旬、夫婦で来館し5階のお部屋をお借りしました。 駅から徒歩2分とすごく近くて便利！！ 日帰り温泉をしているとのことで、すごく込み合っているのかなと 思ったら、意外と落ち着いた感じでした。14時過ぎでしたが フロントも込み合っておらず、スムーズに受けつけできました。 ウエルカムコーヒーが１Fにあります。その場でしか飲むことができない ようで、お部屋に持って行けません。 お部屋はリニューアルされていて、すごーく綺麗！！お掃除もいきわたって いて、お部屋にもコーヒー（ネスプレッソ）がありました。コーヒーメーカの 横にあるお水は無料、冷蔵庫は有料だそうです。またお部屋にある 内湯でゆっくりお風呂を堪能することができます。 お部屋の何がよかったかというと、試してみたかったリファがあること！ ヘアドライアー、アイロンがリファ。もしかしたら、お部屋のシャワーヘッドもそうかも（見たことがないシャワーヘッドだったので） また、私の好きなPOLAのシャンプーが備え付けられています。バラの香りで 癒されます♪ このお宿のうりはラドン温泉、お部屋にラドンはありませんが、大浴場でドアの向こうにラドン温泉が。5-10分浸かるといいそうですが、38-39度で温度が低めのため、もっと入れそう。とにかく熱くないことで、体に負担もかからず すごーくゆっくり入れます。露天風呂もありますが、眺めは…何も見えず。ただ、外の空気がいいので気持ちがいいです。綺麗なリニューアルされた大浴場でした。 そして、食事はお部屋でゆっくりと頂けます。何が美味しいのかというと、 料理長の手作りのショウガの甘露煮＆お味噌汁が絶品！ 伊勢海老、ビーフシチュー、豪華なお造りだったりと本当に美味しい食事でした。 朝も土鍋のごはんが最高です！ おかずも多く、また売店で販売されているみかんジュースが飲めるのがよかったのと、いくらやしらすの食べ放題があること。塩分を気にしているため、そんなに量はたべれませんが、朝から両方を堪能できるのっていいですよね。 日帰りも12時からOKだそうで次回それも利用してみたいなと思ってます。また 会計後のお風呂の利用も可能だそうで、時間があったら食事後のお風呂をちょっとだけ楽しんで帰りたいです。（タオルは持参との事） いろんな楽しみ方のある、おもてなしの素敵なお宿でした。 箱根や熱海など色々なお宿にいきますが、総合的にここはNO１かもすごーく気に入っています。
