During my three-night stay at Hotel Kirishima Castle, I was impressed by the friendly staff and the lovely outdoor onsen. it felt cozy especially in the morning and at night. However, finding a parking spot was a bit of a headache due to the limited spaces available, and I ended up walking up a steep staircase with dim lighting, which was not ideal.

I had a wonderful experience at Hotel Kirishima Castle, thanks to its friendly staff and cozy outdoor onsen, which was lovely at night. However, the hiking back to the lobby can be challenging for those parked further away, especially with steep stairs and dim lighting. Overall, my stay was good, but improvements in parking accessibility would be beneficial.
