Kirishima Kokusai Hotel in Kirishima

We had a very disappointing experience during dinner on December 9th. The middle-aged chef in charge of grilling the Wagyu beef showed clear discrimination toward guests who don’t speak Japanese. Everyone was lining up to receive beef, but he consistently gave noticeably larger portions to Japanese guests while giving much smaller portions to foreign guests who couldn’t speak Japanese.

When I saw how little he gave me, I asked for enough for two people. He added only one extra slice. When I told him it still wasn’t enough, he very reluctantly added two more slices, all while maintaining a very unpleasant attitude. His behavior and facial expressions were completely different from how he treated the Japanese guests before me. My husband and I each went twice, and the treatment was the same both times.

This kind of discriminatory attitude is completely unacceptable, especially in a hotel that hosts many international visitors. I strongly object to this kind of behavior and cannot recommend this hotel.

Very bad. The facilities are old. The food is bad. The room charged such price is not fair. Don’t book!
