Hotel Dengan Gim di Wilayah Kumamoto, Jepun

This hotel have several convenience stores nearby. And a shopping mall near the car park. I rented a three bed room. At first, the humidity of the room is relatively high, and have an air-con water dropping issue. Being told that this issue is normally in Japan since it is a raining season, but the staff assist to offer another room. The second offer room air-con is in trouble, which is not cool even turned to 16 degree. At last, we were upgraded to the slightly larger room with three beds (the third bed is still a sofa bed). The room is so clean, two beds are in double bed, the tv could used for Netflix and YouTube. I would say the organise of the staff is in a satisfy level. The shower supplies are in Kose, the water pressure is relatively good among four hotels I’ve been stayed in Japan for this trip. But there are only 8 car parking in this hotels, with the first in first serve policy. So, we couldn’t managed to have a car parking although I’ve been told in the comment box by trip.com. However, they have some collaborated car parking suppliers nearby with a discount coupons. It’s not really convenient for you if you just stay for one night. But for me, it’s more than acceptable.

After Breakfast, The Staff Cleaned The Chairs And The Table, We Are Quite Happy And Impressed By The Love And Dedication!! Breakfast Spread Quite Good Too My Daughter Enjoyed The Salted Pickles (I Think That’s What Is Called Service is Really Good Too, And The Hotel Is Near The Top Rated TonKatsu Restaurant -The Food There Is Simply Amazing And Delicious And Near Bus Terminal

Booked a corner room with view on both sides making the room even more spacious for 2 adults and 1 kid. Car park could be found easily with lift direct accessible from the hotel. Lobby was decorated very beautiful with polite welcoming staff. Regulating the use of washing machines could be better as most guests did not get back their clothing on time but overall this is a place where we will consider again definitely. Fully recommended. Book earlier as it gets full quickly during peak seasons.

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.

I few steps away from the station. The building looks renovated from an older one by the inside facilities are up to standards. I always love the breakfast where they include local dishes and materials.

Near the historic site but not so near to the JR station. It was a rainy day so we had some trouble moving our luggage to the JR station. The hotel itself is good. Rooms are not big but its good enough. Onsen was very crowded after dinner but there were lovely treats prepared for us.

Situé à proximité de la gare d’Aso, l’hôtel Marriott offre une expérience moderne et confortable. Son emplacement pratique facilite l’arrivée, avec un parking disponible. Les chambres, conformes aux standards Marriott, offrent un confort appréciable, et la literie assure des nuits reposantes. L’équipe, professionnelle et serviable, distille d’excellentes recommandations. Cependant, il est sage de vérifier la disponibilité des restaurants suggérés, surtout en soirée à Aso, une ville parfois limitée en options. Ce qui distingue cet hôtel est son rapport qualité/prix correct (environ 14kyens la nuit), même pendant les périodes de forte demande comme les fêtes de fin d’année. Pour une expérience pratique et agréable à Aso, l’hôtel Marriott est une option.

A traditional onsen hotel, recently renovated and facilities modernised. The twin bed room is large - about 50 sq m in size. In addition, there is a balcony overlooking an excellent view. The breakfast and dinner buffet are fine, though not very special. I like the Japanese style dinner better. The hotel is situated inside the mountain. Access is not easy. There are no shops nearby.

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

独自の目線(5点満点)で評価しています。ビジネスホテルが中心です。 【立地】3 繁華街までは少し歩きます。ホテル回りも一方通行が多いですが、その分一度わかればなんとかなります。 【部屋】3 特に問題ありません。 【コンセント・ＬＡＮ】3 特に問題ありません。 【エアコン】3 特に問題ありません。 【シャワー】3 特に問題ありません。 【スタッフ】3 特に問題ありません。 【総合】3 名前と価格から少し心配していましたが、とんでもありません、良いホテルです。ジュース一本頂けますし、くまモングッズは頂いてうれしかったです。繁華街まで少し歩くのと近くが暗くて夜遅いと女性や子どもは少し不安かもしれません。ただおしゃれなお店が周りに多いのでそれを楽しんでみるとよいと思います。

I recently had the pleasure of staying at ASO Base Backpackers during my visit to Aso, Japan, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. This charming hostel exceeded my expectations in every aspect and left me with beautiful memories of my time in Aso. First and foremost, the location of ASO Base Backpackers is simply breathtaking. Situated at 1498 Kurokawa, it offers a serene and picturesque setting surrounded by the natural beauty of Aso. The hostel is nestled amidst lush greenery and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. It truly felt like a hidden gem, providing a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the warm and friendly staff who went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. They were incredibly helpful, providing valuable information about the area and offering suggestions for activities and sightseeing. Their genuine hospitality and passion for ensuring a memorable stay made a significant impact on my overall experience. The accommodation at ASO Base Backpackers was cozy, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The dormitory-style rooms were clean and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and ample storage space. The communal areas, such as the lounge and kitchen, were inviting and provided opportunities to connect with fellow travelers from around the world. The hostel fostered a sense of community and camaraderie among guests, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. One of the highlights of my stay was the opportunity to explore the surrounding area. ASO Base Backpackers offers a range of outdoor activities and excursions, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the natural wonders of Aso. From hiking trails to hot springs, there was no shortage of adventures to embark on. The staff was readily available to provide guidance and assistance in planning these activities, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience. The hostel's commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly practices was also commendable. ASO Base Backpackers emphasized the importance of responsible tourism, encouraging guests to minimize their environmental impact and respect the local culture and traditions. This eco-conscious approach added an extra layer of appreciation for the hostel and its commitment to preserving the natural beauty of Aso. In conclusion, ASO Base Backpackers provided an exceptional stay in Aso, Japan. From the stunning location to the friendly staff, comfortable accommodation, and eco-friendly practices, every aspect of the hostel contributed to a truly memorable experience. I highly recommend ASO Base Backpackers to fellow travelers seeking a unique and enriching stay in Aso.

洋室の部屋は、ゴルフ場と、雄大な阿蘇外輪山を望む高原で、良い展望でした。部屋にはソファ、椅子とテーブル、セミダブルベッド2つで、快適でした。 実はゴルフリゾートの大浴場なので、お風呂はあまり期待してなかったのです。ところが、温泉は源泉掛け流しで、内風呂も、4つの露天風呂(含む樽風呂2)も全てが源泉掛け流しで、少し茶色の温泉でいい湯でした。11時チェックアウトなのにお風呂が朝9時までが少し残念でした。 食事はレストランにて、和洋ニ種類の前菜と、お作りと温鉢でした。後半は柔らかい熊本産牛とシーフードの陶板焼き、高菜ご飯と味噌汁、美味しいデザートで、夕食は良かったです。また食事係の方が親切で丁寧な接客でした。 朝食はゴルフリゾートのためか、ボリュームある朝食でした。 チェックアウト後に、ロビーのくまモンと写真を撮ろうとしていたら、スタッフの方が、阿蘇の外輪山の景色が良いところで撮れば良いですよと、大きなくまモンをカートで外まで運んでくれました。 おかげさまで、阿蘇の山々とくまモンと共に、素敵な家族写真を撮る事ができました。親切な心遣いが、とても嬉しかったです。

Overall, we had an amazing night here, with several onsen sessions, an amazing dinner experience, and a delicious (and very fulfilling) breakfast! We went for a night at Sozankyo in the FURUSATO room, which included a private onsen outdoors on the balcony. During the evening, we booked sessions for the two other private baths that were available, but we must say that the private bath in the room was definitely the best. In fact, when it started raining in the evening, the experience became even better as we could sit in the bath (under a roof) listening to the rain pouring down. The dinner experience (we went for the full course) was amazing, and the host was very kind and helpful. The dinner room had a great view of the garden outdoor, which added to the mood of the meal. When we checked out the next day, it rained so much that the train down to Kumamoto had been canceled... However, as we had to make our train from Kumamoto around noon, the staff helped us book a taxi. Outside the rainy season, departing is probably much easier! Would recommend this to everyone, however try to not go in the rainy season unless you can pay for a taxi!

Good experience for full japanese tradition hotel, They provide comfort room, beautiful yugata, delicious and variety dinning and onsen. They have wagyu and other for the dinner. large onsen have public and private. the suvenior shop is more item to buy.

Stayed here for 1 night, I personally really love dinner and breakfast buffet, variety of choices especially local beef and sashimi. Hotel also provides private Onzen for proviate use and gaming room. but its location is quite far from Train station, it is more convenient by driving a car and park at hotel. Room price is reasonable and the room is also clean and tidy. I definitely will stay here again if I visit Aso next time.

Like the onsen in the hotel; onsen water is good and big enough for 6-7 person to use. Japanese breakfast served by staff was quite substantial and tasty. The room that we stayed is quiet and faces mountain and park. Bathroom a little small but clean. There wasn’t any wardrobe but there were hooks on the wall and hangers were provided.

在阿蘇寧靜山區中的高級傳統溫泉旅館，不可能期望會有鐵路或公共交通工具直達吧！只適合自駕遊的人士，去最近的便利店駕車4分鐘就到。 服務好得不能再要求更多，非常有善，服務員能用簡單英文溝通。早晚餐都很美味，在獨立房間內進食。原本有和牛跟馬刺身，但由於我們都不吃，check-in 時說明，服務員都很努力幫我們跟廚師溝通改為鴨肉跟生魚片。 房間非常大，電視是大尺寸的Sony 近年新款的智能電視，Wifi 穩定，可以待在房間泡溫泉、躺在沙發耍廢看YouTube，不怕晚上沒事做。 整間飯店只得7間房，所以住客不多。房間已有獨立泡湯，晚上還可以用大浴場（有室內和室外） 再任用5間獨立湯屋，泡得非常爽！ 下次如有機會經過阿蘇做中途站，一定會再來！

Location : good Room : (Japan style ) two people is ok Food: yummy !!! Fresh ingredients and rich food Dinner (BBQ)and breakfast ( Japan style) price is including Staff ：  lovely and helpful When we checking out, they prepared delicious salmon rice balls for lunch (free) Amazing!!!

This is a typical traditional Ryokan, so the rooms do not come with showers, and some rooms come with ensuite WC (toilet, not bathroom). But good news for those who do not like getting naked in front of strangers in an onsen - you can reserve private onsen (family onsen) rooms (an hour only), where you can soak and bathe, in private and with your loved ones. But note, you need to reserve and they are not always available. Having said that, if you want the full-on Japanese Ryokan experience, you can do it here. The half-board (dinner and breakfast) package is not cheap at all, but you do get the sleep-on-futons, sliding Japanese doors in room, water garden view, tatami etc. experience, with dinner and breakfast cooked with seasonal ingredients. We did not really undersand our meal courses (dinner and breakfast), and they were not exactly sumptous (although you will have a full stomach at the end) and delectable. And we had a better experience earlier in another Ryokan some time back. But again, if this is going to be your first-time Ryokan experience, then go for it. I would recommend staying in a hotel if you have been there and done that with Ryokans.

2022年4月11日、この日は九龍（くーろん）でランチを済ませた。 そこから車で、熊本市のシェルパで買い物を済ませ、車で県道36号線を進む。阿蘇山の外輪山を登っていく。展望所(大峯山と高遊原台地)に到着。 ここから熊本市街を見下ろすことができる。この展望所は「大峯山と高遊原台地」といい、外輪山の溶岩台地を一望できる、はずだったが、あいにくのお天気(汗；) メタセコイアの並木を抜けていく。この日宿泊するホテルグリーンピア南阿蘇に到着。駐車場はとても広い。ホテルグリーンピア南阿蘇は、熊本県阿蘇郡南阿蘇村久石（くまもとけんあそぐんみなみあそむらひさいし）にあるホテルだ。玄関に銅像が建っていた。館内はこんな感じ。ロビーは広い。この日は3階の部屋で、エレベーターで移動する。エレベーターを降りてから、部屋まで遠すぎる(汗；)大型ホテルは、これが嫌いだ。遠い。 お約束の「鍵が開かないおばあ」ツインルームで、エクストラベッドも設置されている。窓からの景色はこんな感じ。我々が泊まった中では、屈指の眺望のいい部屋だ（苦笑）冷蔵庫。テレビと湯沸かし器。クローゼットの中に金庫。洗面台。トイレは温水便座。大浴場に行くのでたぶん使わないが、バスタブもある。wifiが「熊本フリーwifi」でメールアドレスを登録しないといけないのは、面倒くさい。ここは楽天モバイルの圏内で、35Mbpsで接続できた。 風呂はこの景色を見ながら入れる露天風呂が最高。泉質は無色透明で、温泉らしさはなかった。夕食は、レストラン。バイキング形式で思ったよりいろいろあった。ただ一番安いコースだったので「メイン料理のないバイキング」になってしまった(汗；)ツレはカレーライスをメインとしていた。デザートでお腹を張らした（笑） 翌朝、朝食会場には既に行列ができていた。朝食もバイキング形式。おばあは俺以上にガッツリ（笑）さらに2度目は洋食で（笑）この日は阿蘇の外輪山をハイキングしてきた。ホテルグリーンピア南阿蘇に連泊だ。部屋から中岳の噴煙が見えた。6時になったので、夕食会場に向かう。この日は、俺はカレーライスをメインに取ってみた。おばあは蕎麦をメインにした。翌朝、チェックアウトし、車で先に進んだ。 ホテルグリーンピア南阿蘇 熊本県阿蘇郡南阿蘇村久石４４１１−９ 0967-67-2131

Staffs were super friendly and helpful. Free pick-up service from the bus stop. As we arrived before check-in time, the driver dropped us at the main street and showed us where to eat and how to walk back to ryokan. The ryokan kindly offered us early check-in. Luggages were in the room already when we arrived. Front desk staff explained everything clearly. We could only book the private onsen once. Private onsen number one is a bit small, and the water was not hot enough, but the view is pretty with a small garden and rock mountain. I love the large outdoor onsen (for hotel guests only). Water was hot. Beutiful environment and great atmosphere. Changing room was clean and spacious. The smaller outdoor onsen is for public. Room was a bit old and simple, but it came with a cute balcony which I didn't expect. Food was great. Dinner was served in room, and breakfast was served in breakfast room. Overall a great ryokan experience.

Onsen and sauna were incredible - but the location from the carpark to the check-in counter was super inconvenient for travellers with big luggage. Other than that, the bus services are very regular, the buffet was tasty and the room was cosy. Really love the Hobitton feels of this place.

Love this place and kurokawa onsen area. There’re 2 outdoors onsen separate for male and female, 2 public indoor for male and female and 6 private onsen. The whole building are lovely and clean. Service is amazing. Food is impressive. There is a beautiful river in the middle of 2 buildings, amazing scenery.

Chambre familiale qui correspond à un chalet avec un grand espace cuisine avec gazinière et séjour avec des futons à disposition. Belle vue et mobilier extérieur. Salle de bain comprenant une baignoire 'onsen'. Calme. Préférable de prendre un taxi de Onsen Kurokawa, la propriétaire nous a gentiment ramener pour le retour.

本來是想去黑川温泉的，可惜太熱門，好的酒店全部訂完，找備選方案時意外留意到了南阿蘇村，知名度雖然沒有黑川那麼響，但綜合指數一點不落下。 交通方面，從熊本坐豐肥本線到肥厚大津再換同線路車到立野站，也有車次能直達立野站，但車次不多，大部分還是到肥厚大津的，得換一次。另外要注意，立野站不能刷ic卡，所有卡都不能，坐車去立野站記得買乘車券，進站時千萬別刷卡。到立野站後再換南阿蘇鐵路，這是條主打海賊王的私鐵線路，很有特色，沿途風景也很治癒，算是個景點。注意南阿蘇鐵路也不能刷卡，後門上車拿整理券，前門下車付現即可，沒零錢的可以用車上的兩替機兑換，很方便。離酒店最近的車站是白水高原站（hakusui-kogen），可以提前和酒店聯繫好時間，他們可以來車站接的，如果嫌麻煩，也想自己走走看看日本農村景象，步行到酒店沿途走走拍拍照，我們大概花了1小時，後半程因為是爬坡會有些累。 景點方面，我們去了網紅的上色見熊野座神社，不虛此行，酒店也很貼心的幫忙接送到白水高原站，從這裏坐電車到高森站，再換產交巴士上色見環線就到了。酒店後山其實也挺好逛的，我們在地圖上找了個叫十六羅漢的古蹟，想去探探險，可惜疫情幾年沒有維護，上山的路壞了沒法走，但沿途風景還是不錯的。 餐飲方面，酒店包兩餐，都是在房間用餐。主菜有壽喜燒、小火鍋和蒸汽牛肉可選，配菜有生魚片刺身、馬肉刺身、鍋物、蒸物等，很豐盛，口味也不錯。 温泉方面，酒店特色就是每個房間有自己的私湯，應該更符合國人喜好，也適合情侶出行吧。住的幾天基本一天3泡，不要太舒服。

The staff are very nice and helpful. My friend had a business engagement and need to delay the dinner and they are very supportive and cater our needs. Both breakfast and dinner are good too!

We found a good deal on the web site, which included discounts for having proof of vaccines, plus coupons totaling ¥8,000. I think the coupons were part of the ”Go To Travel” campaign. These coupons could only be used in Oita prefecture, by the next day. The hotel has a grand, luxurious appearance and feel, but also feels dated. After check-in, we took the shuttle bus to the outside onsen (about 5 minutes away). This was included in the price (I am not sure if it is actually owned by the hotel. There is a fee for people who are not staying at the hotel). This onsen was glorious! All the baths are outside, surrounded by trees and nature. The only caveat is that there were many stairs going down to the onsen. I did not expect that at all, and it was not easy on my knees (no problem for my partner). The other onsen in the hotel (there were two) also involved walking (it is as large hotel), and some stairs too. The floors in the onsen seemed more slippery than I remember any other onsen I have visited before. Dinner was buffet style. Due to COVID restrictions, we had to get our temperature checked, and wear plastic gloves while serving ourselves (there was a box at the table, and a container for disposal of them). The seating was partitioned, and it was very comfortable. Even though it was a buffet, there were 3 choices for seating: 5:00 pm, 6:30 pm and 8:00 pm, with a 90 minute limit. The food was good, but my partner had to stand in line at a station for freshly prepared meat for 30 minutes. Breakfast was served in the same place as dinner. We got a lower-priced deal, and our room was on the 1st floor. The hallway was a little dark compared to the other floors (which we had to access for the front desk/entrance to the hotel and to get to the dining area and the onsen). To me, there was a musty smell that my partner did not notice. The place is older, and it is right next to the river, and it was the middle of Japanese (humid) summer, and I assume not all the rooms are like this. There was a can of roach spray in the closet (which thankful we did not need!), and requests not to open the windows to prevent bugs from getting in the room. The sound and site of the river outside the window was wonderful. The beds (two twin beds) were comfortable and we got a good night's sleep. It was my partner's 50th birthday, so we mentioned this to see if they had any thing special (even for an extra charge). They gave a card and a plastic rose (I think the rose was for the birthday), but said they did not have anything else. The water pot already had hot water in it when we arrived. I appreciate that. They also had the kind of coffee in which you open the single pack, put it over the cup (good size, not tiny like some places) and pour hot water on it (like a one cup drip coffee- not instant). I often travel with these types of coffee packs as a lot of hotels in Kyushu only have instant coffee or none at all in the rooms. The

非常好的套房，在日本沒住過這麼大的房間，有90多㎡，乾淨整潔，房間裏一個室外泡池，一個室內泡池。由於我們帶兩個小孩，衹收了額外每人1萬日元的費用，包括了額外兩份小童早餐。有一個服務員會講中文，服務體貼周到。
