Hotel Romantic di 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.

I enjoyed Fomoto Ryokan, it's very clean and the service are impeccable! They spoke fluent English! There are pick up and drop off services at the main bus stop if the timing is afternoon. Which is very helpful during the snowy winter weather. The food are awesome The 11 private Onsens are the highlight! It's like a mini theme park in your accomodations where u explore once you check in, at night and the next morning. I highly recommend anyone who are looking for traditional onsen Ryokan in Kurokawa.

Small room but totally functional for a night stay. New hotel in the middle of city, walking distance from malls. Only downside is lack of on-site parking though there is nearby parking at the mall, which is 5 mins walk away. Get your parking ticket stamped at hotel to get a discount for overnight parking at the mall. Parking instructions and directions in pictures.

This hotel is really nice and conveniently located right on top of Sakura Machi mall, so there are plenty of food options and shops for shopping. Right across the street is a pedestrian street, which is great for walking around. It’s not too crowded, so the atmosphere is quite relaxed. There’s also a major bus stop right downstairs, which makes it super convenient—especially if you don’t have a car. If you’re traveling between cities, this is likely a main stop you’ll pass through. For those who drive, you can find parking nearby. The hotel may offer parking discounts at certain locations, but I’m not entirely sure which ones. The hotel itself is beautiful, modern, and smells really nice—feels new and well-maintained. Amenities are quite complete as well. The bed and pillows were just okay, slightly leaning towards the uncomfortable side. However, the bathroom is excellent, with a separate standing shower and a small bathtub. The room I got was also quite cute, with a small sofa area, which was a nice touch.

Service: friendly staff assisting us with the use of self check-in machine, and providing us with a room with wonderful room. Amenities: take what you want and need among the amenities provided near the reception area. Facial mask provided as well. Facilities: there is a microwave located on every floor at the lift area. About 4 washing machines with dryer located at level 1 Location: fantastic with Shimotori just a few steps away from it. 7-11 and McDonald’s at the entrance of the walking street. Further up there is Cocosa Shopping Mall and with a supermarket at its basement. Found this place more interesting than Sakura Machi. However most shops closed fairly early at around 8pm. Parking: though the hotel does not provided parking, we managed to park at the nearby building with coupon carpark (1 min walk) which is affiliated to the hotel (paid JPY1200 for overnight parking between 3pm to 11am). Remember to obtain the JPY200 discount coupon from the staff for your carpark payment.

We had a nice and exciting stay at Kamenoi hotel Aso. The view is a picture perfect. The Mt. Aso is so a perfect view. It looks like a wallpaper . The room is so clean and comfortabe. The buffet dinner and breakfast is absolutely perfect and delicious. The nice is also nice and accomodating too. Were looking forward om our future stay again.Its a very recommended place👍👍👍
