Best Hotels near Asootsu Shrine, Koshi

The hotel is very clean and the service and breakfast are satisfactory. For me, the fact that it wasn't in front of the station was a little negative. This is the perfect hotel for people sightseeing in Kumamoto.

A very nice, modern hotel in the heart of the Kumamoto shopping district - very convenient location, right at the cross section of the two major covered shopping thoroughfares. Check-in only at 3pm and is an automated check-in/check-out system. Staff are very helpful and friendly. At check-in, you are free to choose your amenities from a very wide selection, including bath salts, face cleanser, moisturizer, coffee, green tea, etc. There is a giant tv in the room. No bottled water is provided. The room offers a full robe (short yukata and pants!). The rooms itself are very modern and renovated. There are two Family Marts and a 7-11 within a block of the hotel, as well as many dining and retail options within short walking distance. It is about a 15 minute walk to Kumamoto Castle and a 30 minute walk to Kumamoto Station.

We took Highway Bus (2.5hr) from Fukuoka Airport to Kumamoto Sakuramachi Bus Terminal. Koko Hotel is directly connected to the bus terminal. Hotel was opened in June 2022 and there were now clear signages to Koko Hotel as we alighted from the bus. We took escalator to the 2F and take the lift to the 14F where the Hotel lobby is. From the lobby, we get a clear view of Kumamoto Castle. Our Superior Twin Room is very spacious and comfortable. We paid Y32,310 for 2 nights. It is 10 mins walk to the Castle, and 10 mins taxi ride to Kumamoto Station. Amu Plaza next to Kumamoto Station has plenty of eateries. Sakuramachi has Family Mart, restaurants and shops.

Value for money Hotel choice! It’s right adjacent to the bus terminal and a large shopping mall with lots of choices of food. There is a free ramen at night after the hot spring and also free popsicles which I think it is very generous and tentative. The room is clean and fit in two single beds and two futons so enough for four pax.

This hotel is located within a short walking distance from the Kumamoto station. From the JR bstation exit it is on the left, just beside the Bic Camera store next. There is also a streetcar/tram stop so near the hotel which you can use to explore the city touristy spots! Shopping is convenient as the Kumamoto AMU Plaza (see another Review) is 5-mins walk away. The lobby is quite spacious and I quite like the intimate setting and lighting. Check-in was fast and 3 lifts serve well with travellers + luggages. The room design is quite standard and we have requested for x2 single bed, the room size is respectable. Noted that they're still using the physical hard key and not the keycard type. Hottel provided some amenities and complimentary bottled water in the room, sufficient for us . The Hotel is very into Going Green, there will be no housekeeping within first 3-days unless requested upon. This may likely be the model moving forward, to cut wastages. We had our breakfast at the nearby Pronto. The Kitaoka Shrine is just about 400 metres nearby, opposite direction of JR station so we recommend to drop by if time permits. A good stay experience. J

The front desk is an old-fashioned inn style. The slippers that enter the eye as soon as they enter the room are dirt and heel cut off, and even if the paper of ”disinfected” is riding, it is hesitant to wear today. The hand towel for hot springs is not dedicated to oneself who entered the vinyl, but washed and used. The room and the shared space are not deteriorated, but I felt that I was working hard in the double punch of the earthquake and corona. The bath is divided into ”dondoyu” which can take a day trip bath and a hot spring dedicated to guests. ”Dondoyu” is located at the hotel front desk, looking at the vast garden, and walking 2,3 minutes through the crossing corridor where there is a rabbit hut on the way. There was an open-air bath that had been boldly made in the garden, and there was an open-air bath that had been pulled out of hot water due to corona, but the large open-air bath was put in a source. In the morning, ”dondoyu” was closed, so I went to the guest only, but I was able to enjoy it at a hot spring with a wide 々 with an open-air bath. As for the meal, breakfast was normal, but dinner was great. Especially the red beef pottery plate was amazing, and such a delicious steak was not eaten easily. The overall evaluation is 3.5 points. If you close your eyes to oldness, it is a hotel that can be satisfied enough.

It is a hotel in Otsu CHO, around the middle point from Kumamoto city to ASO, facing the main national route 57. 10 stories, and the building with this height in Otsu Cho is about the route in hotel. It is a so-called roadside type hotel, but it is quite fashionable, and I think it is beautiful and fashionable from the front desk on the first floor to the breakfast place. There is a W bed in a standard type room, but because of that, there is no room to put a suitcase on the floor and spread it. But there is no particular dissatisfaction. The sale here is a large bath (boiling hot water) with an open-air bath on the top floor, so the street of Otsu and the mountain of ASO are wonderful from the open-air bath, and it is not tired of seeing forever. It is also fun to see a passenger plane taking off from Kumamoto Airport nearby turning right on the hotel and heading for Honshu. Breakfast is healthy breakfast and hotel slogan, but the total vegetables of Japanese are substantial and there is also morning curry. (this curry, not spicy but delicious) I think breakfast is enough to be satisfied. The next group of men said, ”there is nothing.” (Of course there are western foods. bread is delicious) I think it is good enough considering the price and content.

I stayed ２ at the end of the year. It was my first stay, but I wanted to relax and stay again. The hotel is over ９ floor, but the glass is often used and the view is bright everywhere. Creation that I have never seen before. A mechanism that cannot be put in the room key in the lodging zone. The building is a corridor style, overlooking the garden and chapel on the ９ floor, but it is lit up at night and this is beautiful again. The rooms are a bit vertical, but I was able to spend calmly. I liked my wife very much. The public bath is also like a fashionable and splendid hot spring hotel. Maybe more. There was a drum coin laundry next to the entrance of the public bath, and it was convenient for consecutive nights. Breakfast was a buffet, but the buffet on New Year's Day is a great word. When I arrived at the entrance with the service of the soup and arrived at the seat, the miscellaneous boiling was carried first. The soup was very delicious. In addition to the usual buffet, there were special dishes for New Year's Day, but there were many fresh sashimi, kazukono, shrimp, etc. There was red rice in rice. All were delicious and ate a lot. I went by car, but I went directly from the underground parking lot to the front floor and the parking fee was very good. Moreover, I think it is the best value for money in a hotel in Kumamoto City with a 24-hour parking setting. My wife started saving money because she wanted to go to the end of this year.

I used it because I had a business nearby. I had a child of 1 and a half years old, so I want you to call in advance and put the bed on the wall. I'm asking you to prepare a bed guard. When I arrived at the hotel, I was told by phone, so it was very helpful. Also, my buttocks disappeared and I was able to ask at the front desk, which was very helpful. The room was clean and I didn't care about noise and I could sleep well. The coin laundry was also 200 yen for the washing machine and 100 yen for 30 minutes for the dryer, so it was easy to use. Also, I would like to use it when there is something nearby.
