Overall, it's highly recommended for its culinary excellence and memorable setting.
"Was staying at the Shiroyama in April ‘23 with kids, Le Ciel was 2nd choice with preferred option booked out. Well, everything worked out fine ; Le Ciel is an outstanding French restaurant - although the service struggled a little with us foreigners the kitchen was absolutely on fire. One of the best fine dining experiences we’ve had anywhere. Highly recommended when in Kagoshima."

"Great lunch with amazing Mt. Sakurajima view"

"A French restaurant on the 10th floor of Shiroyama Kanko Hotel. The location overlooking Sakurajima and Kagoshima city is the best. The best time to see is when the evening changes to night. All the dishes are excellent and incorporate Kagoshima ingredients well. Service has hospitality and can be satisfied. You can enjoy Kagoshima sightseeing as well as local cuisine."
