Hotel berhampiran Aso Geopark, Aso

We stopped over in Aso for a night while driving around Kumamoto, and this ryokan did not disappoint! The service, food, room are all excellent! Just what we need to rest for the night before continuing our journey the next day. We did not opt for dinner, and many restaurants were closed after 5pm, so you might want to include dinner if you decide to stay. The breakfast was awesome and so hearty. Love it!

フロントは昔ながらの旅館風。 部屋に入るとすぐに目に入るスリッパは薄汚れてかかとがすり切れていて、「消毒済」の紙が乗っていても今日的には履くのが躊躇われる状態。 温泉用の手ぬぐいも、ビニールに入った自分専用のものではなく、洗って使いまわしたもの。 部屋の中も共用スペースも老朽化は否めませんが、震災とコロナというダブルパンチの中で、頑張っておられるのだと感じました。 お風呂は、日帰り入浴もできる「どんどこ湯」と宿泊客専用の温泉にわかれています。 「どんどこ湯」はホテルフロントから、広大なお庭を眺めながら、途中にウサギ小屋があったりする渡り廊下を2,3分歩いたところにあります。 お庭の中に露天風呂を大胆に作りましたという感じで、コロナのせいでお湯を抜いた露天風呂もありましたが、大きな露天風呂は源泉かけ流しでゆったりと入れました。 朝は「どんどこ湯」は閉まっているので、宿泊客専用の方に行きましたが、こちらも露天風呂のある広々とした温泉で、のんびり楽しめました。 食事については、朝食は普通ですが、夕食が素晴らしかった。 特に赤牛の陶板焼きがすばらしく、こんなに美味しいステーキはなかなか食べたことがないほどでした。 総合評価は3.5点といったところ。古さに目をつむれば、十分満足できるホテルです。

This hotel is situated on a spacious property, secluded from the town center and shops. While it features public baths and an on-site restaurant, The dinner and breakfast offered a delightful blend of Western and Japanese dishes, typical of most Japanese hotels. Our twin room, though a bit compact, provided a comfortable overnight stay. All amenities provided were satisfactory for a one-night stay, leaving no room for complaints. As most establishments in the vicinity close after 5 PM (except for convenience stores), there isn't much to do at the hotel besides enjoying the onsen. Therefore, be prepared for an early night in.

My recent stay at Hotel Kadoman left me thoroughly impressed. The generously sized rooms provided ample space to unwind and relax, adding an extra level of comfort to my stay. What truly stood out, however, were the culinary offerings. Both dinner and breakfast were a culinary delight, with each dish crafted to perfection and bursting with flavor. The service was equally commendable, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant and memorable experience. If you're looking for a hotel that offers spacious accommodations, delicious dining options, and excellent service, look no further than Hotel Kadoman.

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.

住35號房非常好，空間很大有兩個池，通風非常棒，唯獨缺點是泡澡的地方有點使用痕跡，房間內部也是有點年代感，但是整體是舒服的 這次的套裝是有晚餐及早餐的，晚餐大概七成符合胃口，早餐大概五成，用餐的包廂環境非常棒服務人員也很客氣很有禮貌，英文也會通 整體來說一個晚上一萬元台幣，一泊二食，剛好這次旅程中也有住在由布院的界一個晚上，相較起來這間吃粗飽的CP值很高

やまなみハイウェイを別府方面にひた走り、瀬の本レストハウスがある国道442号線との交差点から黒川温泉方面である左に曲がる。数年前から国道442号線は新しい道に変わっており、道幅に余裕があって走行しやすい。今回の宿は「旅館わかば」。GoToトラベルで宿泊客が多いようで無料駐車場に停めるスペースがないのでキーをフロントの方に預ける。 夜御飯は部屋食。座席に座りドリンクメニューを見ると、ジンジャーを使った飲み物が美味しそうである。仲居さんが来られた際にアルコールが一番少ないとされる「ジンジャー甘酒」を注文。料理も手順良く運んでくれます。特上霜降り馬刺しや熊本味彩牛・肥後の赤鶏等、熊本ならではの料理が美味しい。ただ部屋での焼肉は服に臭いが付いてしまう。 朝食は通常だと1階の広間が朝食会場になりますが、コロナウイルス感染拡大防止の為に各部屋での弁当になっている。お米は七城米を使用した釜で炊きあげられたごはんで、おかずは「小国郷の六品」に七城米の御飯とまいたけと南関揚げのお味噌汁という美味しい朝御飯。 宿の方は気さくで対応がよく温泉も気持ちがよく良かったです。

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.

The Manager and staff were amazing and so helpful - Probably the best service we had all trip from 7 different stays. We had the dining experience and not only was the food wonderful, they even change our food when we said we were scared of trying the Horse & Chicken Sashimi. The view from the in-room onsen was brilliant. If you want to be critical then its a 10min walk to the village centre but thats why we choose this Hotel plus we just drove to the village centre - so simple. To the Manager - Please thank your staff for making our stay here an amazing one.

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.
