Hotel Gran Cerezo Kagoshima Opening Special

Scheduled to open on March 10, 2026, the Hotel Gran Cerezo Kagoshima Tenmonkan will introduce a special breakfast plan called "Kagonma no Umakamon Tamoiyanse" which translates to ‘Please enjoy the delicious food of Kagoshima’. Managed by Kagoshima Ark City Co., this new hotel aims to highlight the rich culinary heritage of Kagoshima.

Nestled in the heart of Kagoshima City at Funatsu Town, the hotel will not only offer comfortable accommodation but also an exceptional dining experience at its 14th-floor restaurant, Satsuma Saizen Kizuna. Guests can expect a sumptuous breakfast buffet featuring local delicacies that encapsulate the region’s vibrant flavors. With an abundance of natural resources, Kagoshima is known as a treasure trove of ingredients, particularly as a livestock kingdom.

Breakfast Highlights

Some highlights from the breakfast buffet include:

• - Kagoshima Black Pork Shabu-Shabu: Tender pork slices to savor with flavorful broth.
• - Keihan: A local dish comprising shredded chicken served over rice, adorned with garnishes like sweet soy-glazed shiitake mushrooms and finished with a piping hot chicken soup.

The breakfast plan is part of a warm welcome to the first guests who will be able to immerse themselves in Kagoshima's unique flavors right from the start of their day. The hotel offers special rates for reservations made between January 15, 2026, and April 30, 2026, allowing guests to enjoy the special experience at a great price starting from 5,195 yen per person for a room with breakfast, based on double occupancy.

Special Opening Features

During the promotional period, hotel guests will also receive a special offer in the Yuyamato no Yu (Open-Air Major Bath), a relaxing experience that includes a local Asahi Super Dry draft beer for just 100 yen per glass, alongside a variety of other exclusive Kagoshima-themed benefits to commemorate the hotel’s grand opening.

Come Enjoy the View

Don't forget that the hotel also boasts spectacular views of Sakurajima as the spring waves lap at its shores. It's the ideal backdrop for a delicious breakfast experience.
