Remm Kagoshima

At this hotel in Tenmonkan, rooms are business-hotel-size but futuristic in style and amenities, with custom-designed beds, fluffy white duvets, massage chairs, rain showers, and glass windows in the bathrooms for natural light (and, thoughtfully, curtains). The ageless design in the public spaces incorporates ancient stones and hardwoods. It's worth springing for the extensive breakfast buffet (¥1000).
