Hotels With Breakfast in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan

I recently stayed at The Blossom Kumamoto and would definitely stay here again. The location is unbeatable. The hotel is literally next to Kumamoto Station, just exit from the Shinkansen gate, turn right, and you’ll see the entrance. It’s also directly connected to AMU Plaza, with easy access to restaurants, shops, buses, taxis, and trains. The rooms are surprisingly spacious for Japan. We were able to fully open two large suitcases and still had enough space to walk around comfortably. The hotel also has a very nice and spacious public bath, and guests can enjoy free coffee after using the onsen, which is a great touch. One thing to note is that there are quite a lot of tour groups staying here, so it can feel a bit crowded at times. The hotel provides a self-service luggage storage area, as they do not store luggage at the front desk. I didn’t try the breakfast, but overall the stay was excellent. Highly recommended — 10/10.

Pros: 1. Great location! It's a convenient 5-10 minute walk from Kumamoto Bus Terminal (easily accessible by bus from Fukuoka Airport), right in the commercial district. No worries about coming back late after shopping. 2. The hotel is very new and spotlessly clean. There wasn't a single dirty spot or any unpleasant odors. The hygiene was exceptional. 3. On the first floor, there's a self-service station for amenities and maps. On the middle floors, you'll find pajamas and a microwave. 4. The staff were fantastic! One gentleman spoke Chinese and proactively offered help in Chinese, and all the other staff members were incredibly nice. Cons: 1. This is truly hard to explain, but I didn't sleep a wink for both nights of my stay. The hotel allows windows to be opened, so the temperature was good, but it got stuffy and hot in the middle of the night. The duvet was incredibly non-breathable, feeling like it was made of a poor quality material. My arms even broke out in a rash, possibly an allergic reaction. The pillow was also uncomfortable. 2. The room type I was given overlooked a construction site, and it was incredibly noisy. Overall, it was a very strange stay. The hotel is new, and the staff are great, yet I somehow couldn't sleep for two nights. I'm still feeling groggy and can't pinpoint why it didn't work for me. However, I still highly recommend the hotel.

For the amount we paid, it was really a good place to stay and an amazing experience! Top 3 experiences: 1. We stayed in the Kumamon room and it was so adorable! It was Kuamamon themed and had a giant Kuamamon plushie which kept us company during our stay. 2. There was a really nice gentleman working at the car park who went out of his way to help us. For instance, he walked/ ran the few hundred meters to show us the way to the nearest carpark we could park at. I had also left my coffee behind in the lobby after checking in, but he saw it and remembered it was me who was holding onto the coffee, and got the hotel staff to keep it for me. The moment he saw me in the lobby after, he immediately told me my coffee was kept for me. I was very touched because he did not need to do any of that. Sadly, I didn't see him before I left or I would have gotten his name. 3. Free postcards that the hotel staff would mail for you! It was nice receiving it about a few weeks after the trip; brought back some good memories! Absolutely would recommend staying at Mitsui Garden Kumamoto if you have the chance!

Good location just in front of the castle. Night view is great. The 10th floor for breakfast and coffee at night is the best place to relax. Breakfast is the best I have in this trip. We have breakfast at new year eve and new year day , the food is probably arranged and served. The only complaint is the parking not available for my Toyota Harriers. I need to park at private parking cost me ＞ 2000 yen .

Excellent stay at one station! First time and with it's perfect location it makes travelling around so convenient. Beside it it's Kumamoto Station and there is AMU Shopping mall just beside it. If you rented a car during your stay in Kumamoto, you may just park at the multi story carpark behind the hotel for just 1000 yen for 24hrs with multiple entries but you would have to head to hotel reception to get the coupon for it. Definitely a recommended stay in Kumamoto

Service: English service was available, making communication smooth and clear. The front desk staff were professional. Environment: The location is excellent. There's a bus stop right downstairs, it's easy to hail a taxi, and there are supermarkets, Kumamoto souvenir shops, restaurants, and convenience stores nearby – very convenient. There's also a pedestrian street in the vicinity, and the room offers a view of Kumamoto Castle. Hygiene: Overall, it was good. Even when 'Do Not Disturb' was selected, fresh towels were still left hanging on the door. However, we found a pair of slippers under the bed that weren't ours, likely left by a previous guest.

The hotel's location is fantastic! There's a bus stop right downstairs. The concierge on the first floor helped us book bus tickets to Aso and Kagoshima, making our travel super smooth. It was much more convenient than going to the bus terminal ourselves. The room was compact but well-arranged, and all the toiletries were provided, even face wash, toner, and lotion from LA MER. You can pretty much just pack your bags and move in. Right across the street are the Tsuruya Department Store and the entrance to Shimotori, so dining and shopping were incredibly convenient.

Booked this hotel last minute and it was surprisingly cheap, definitely worth the price. The only downside is there's no parking. I wasn't feeling well that day and just parked across the street, which ended up costing me 1300 JPY for 12 hours. Turns out, if I had looked around a bit more, there were plenty of spots nearby for 500-600 JPY for the same duration.

The hotel employees all of them were showed a good attitude and communication was no problem for foreigners. The location is great — it’s close to Kumamoto Castle, and there’s a shopping mall just about a 10-minute walk away. I made a reservation for a triple room for two nights. The sofa bed was uncomfortable, and the air conditioner could not adjust the airflow direction, which caused us to catch a cold. One more thing, the room key had to be returned and kept at the counter whenever we went out for the day.

Clean and comfortable hotel. About a 10–15 minute walk from the tram station. Rooms are tidy, and it’s nice that each floor has a water dispenser for refilling bottles. Overall, a pleasant stay.
