2-Star Hotels in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan

The room we chose this time did not have a private bathroom, so we went to the female-only public bath on the 3rd floor to take a bath at night. Although the place was not big, it felt quite clean. I would also like to give special praise to the hotel's breakfast, which has a wide variety of dishes and makes me very satisfied. The staff at the front desk and in the restaurant are all very polite and have friendly smiles.

This is a great place to stay if you want to be in a peaceful and quiet location. It is in the village with not much disturbances. The owner is very helpful and try to answer your questions about bus and train services in the area. You can find some local restaurants nearby using your Google map. The restaurants are close around 3 to 4 pm most days. The closing hours for the restaurants are not accurate. This is a small town; if they don’t have costumers after a certain hours in the evening, they will be closed. Be mindful about that and come prepared with snacks and food!

I like it very much. I booked a single room so it is relatively small. But there are only three rooms on the first floor, which is very quiet. There is a shared kitchen and bathroom. It is very convenient to heat food, pour water, and drink coffee. You can also borrow the boss's bicycle for free to go around. I rode to Tengu Bridge in the rain, but unfortunately the road was under construction. But riding along the way, it was really rural scenery, very quiet and comfortable! If you take the bus, actually get off at Hitoyoshiyakusho Station and walk back about 100 meters. The Lawson convenience store is right next to the hotel, which is very convenient. But everyone will definitely go to Hitoyoshi Station to check in. It still takes at least 10 minutes to walk from the hotel to Hitoyoshi Station, which is a bit of a road. Of course, people who like to run wildly think it’s okay, but those of us carrying big bags still hope to stay within 500 meters.

Nice, artistic, comfortable, convenient place to stay in Kumamoto. Enjoyed the free noodle, beverages and breakfast at the pantry. Love it and will stay again.

Comfortable and pleasant stay. Sleeping pods are very comfortable and spacious. Though there are some issues in the booking but the front desk lady sorted that out quickly. Very helpful.

A place suitable for solo female travelers. I stayed with my boyfriend, but the owner clearly separated the male and female areas. The bathroom and sleeping areas were shared, but the shower was shared. We felt it was private. On the day we went, there were 4 of us, including the owner. We rented a car and drove there. There's parking about 100 meters before the walkway up to the accommodation, which was very convenient. If you don't have a car, he works at a gas station on the way to the Onsen Village. You can catch his ride. He gets off work at 5:00 PM every day and leaves at 8:00 AM. The owner is very kind. He provides free drinking water and hot water. It's not far from the Onsen Village. For those who love nature and relaxation, this is the place to stay. My first time here was very impressive. This is a place we'll definitely return to. The house accommodates 6 people. Next time we have 6 people, we'll definitely stay here. Contact him via email. He's very responsive. Or, you can ask at the gas station.

A great hostel, in a perfect location for exploring the Aso region. The hostel is really nice and comfortable and very well kept. I ended up extending my stay when I realised I could also take the bus from Ask to Takachiho gorge and back (¥6,000 return). It’s a great base for exploring the area and the hosts are very kind

The hotel doesn't have many extra facilities like a gym. However, the existing parking lot and airport shuttle are currently a plus. The surrounding amenities and location, such as supermarkets, make up for the shortcomings. I hope to see improvements in the future.

九州出張の最終日に温泉に入りたく、宿泊しました。 湯の児温泉は市内から海側に離れているので、タクシー での移動が必要です。（当方は実家の車で移動） 部屋は昔ながらの旅館スタイルで広々としています。 また全部屋有明海を臨むオーシャンビューです。 掃除も行き届いており清潔でした。 温泉は内湯の他、男性用の露天風呂、檜風呂、洞窟風呂、 離れの“展望風呂”がありました。平日で宿泊客も少なめ だったので、展望風呂を貸切状態で利用できました。 水質もトロっとしており、肌もスベスベになる感じです。 朝は雨模様でしたが、露天風呂を満喫しました。 朝食も焼魚、肉系、惣菜と湯豆腐と品数豊富で満足です。 久々に日常を忘れてのんびり過ごすことができました。

The location itself is practically impossible to get to without a car. Parking is conveniently provided, as it's exclusive to the ryokan. The surrounding atmosphere is very satisfying. However, you'll need to rent everything from towels to yukatas at the ryokan. Breakfast is simple. There's a nearby place offering free sulfur hell steaming, so you can just buy eggs and cook them yourself (50 yen). You can also make other sulfur-based dishes if you'd like! I was disappointed that there was only one hot spring, and the water wasn't particularly special. Overall... Spend more and go somewhere better.
