#The Symbol of Kagoshima - Viewing Sakurajima from the Best Western Rembrandt Hotel Resort
Kagoshima's Best Western Rembrandt Hotel
A while ago we visited the stunning Kagoshima, which is located on the southern tip of the Kyushu Islands. Kagoshima sits on the northwest of Kagoshima Bay opposite of the active volcano Sakurajima.
Meaning 🌸"Cherry Blossom Island"🌸 in Japanese, it was an island for years (the first record of an eruption was in 708). However, the massive lava flow from an eruption in 1914 was so extreme it connected to the Osumi Peninsula in the east when the lava hardened!
With it being summer vacation in a lot of countries, we're sure a lot of people are thinking about where they should go! Well, for those who are thinking about Kagoshima, this article is for you!
This picture is in front of what is known as the symbol of Kagoshima, Sakurajima🌋 If you look at the bottom left hand side, you'll see the Best Western Rembrandt Hotel Kagoshima. Imagine the view the people staying there must have!
Let's take a look!

Basic Info of the Hotel
Check-in from 2pm・Check-out by 11am
Spoken languages: English, Chinese, Japanese
・from Kagoshima Airport:
There are Kagoshima-Airport Limousine Buses that will take you super close to BW Kagoshima. It's about a 5 min walk to the airport bus stop (from the East Exit!), board the bus bound for Kamoikeko Port (Kagoshima Chuo Station 'Kagoshima Central Station' is fine too). I advise getting a seat if you can because its a bit over of a hour ride! If you get off at Nokyo Kaikan-mae bus stop (10th stop), Best Western Rembrandt Hotel Kagoshima Resort is about a minute walk away! Getting off at Kamoikeko Port is another option, which is a 3 min walk!
Here's an Airport Bus timetable ⤵⤵
・from Chuo Station:
20 minutes from Kagoshima Central Station

3. Set the mood with a traditional kimono👘✨
There are SOOOO many colors and patterns to choose from! You're sure to find one that will look amazing on you✨💖✨
The staff are professionals and are always ready to help get you situated...thank goodness!
AND SUCCESS!!!!
ABSOLUTE perfection!
Look at how all those different colors blend beautifully!!! The model is wearing a what is called "furisode" kimono (long-sleeved kimono), which is the traditional wear for the "becoming of age ceremony", when they girl turns 20 years old. It is also traditionally what (only) single women wear. Once a women gets married, she no longer can wear long-sleeved kimonos. Even if you're married, furisode kimonos are beyond stunning, so why not just "be single" for a bit and try one on!

Buffet-style Restaurant at Best Western Kagoshima
1. More food than one could imagine at Four Leaf Garden🍀
You can enjoy Best Western's buffet-style restaurant that offers specialty dishes that includes local ingredients from the Kagoshima area!
Satsuma-age
A traditional food in Kagoshima, satsuma-age is a nutritious fish patty that has been transformed into something special compared to satsuma-age in other regions.
Many other ingredients have been added, such as lotus root, green soybean, carrot, sweet potato, and cheese.
We recommend trying the lotus root, the texture balance works perfectly together!

2. Beer Garden
More Japanese shochu than you can imagine! 🍶🏮
Shochu is the most famous liquor in Kagoshima and has its own rich flavor.
There are many different kinds depending on its ingredients though.
For example, there is sweet potato, rice, wheat, soba, and black sugar shochu.
If there are so many different kinds of shochu, of course that means there are many different WAYS to drink it; with hot water, cold water, or on the rocks.
The most "basic way" though is to add hot water. Local women also mix shochu with a cold glass of green tea, this is called "ryokuchawari".
Just like at breakfast you can eat all kinds of Kagoshima-native dishes, except at their beer garden, you can add a few beers to go with the view of Sakurajima🍻🍖
