Hotel 2-Star di Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan

Location is a bit far from Kumamoto station. Walking distance is about 35min but you can take a tram to reach. Overall the hotel is good. There is also a public bath with hot pool. For those shy or feel uncomfortable to use the public bath, there is also a very private bathroom attached.

This is a hotel I would like to stay again. It is a nice clean hotel that is very value for money. It is also near to the station and if you drives the parking is free of charge. The hotel even provide breakfast for every guest. Although it is near to the train station, can't really hear much or any noise at all which may be due to the good sound proofing thus I have a good night rest. This is the place i can highly recommend if you plan to visit Mt. Aso and its vicinity. My only feedback is the double bed is bit small than a queen bed for my 1 night triple room that i booked. Overall the room size is sufficient for 3 pax and 3 luggages.

I have been staying in very special places in Japan: beautiful locations with lots of care and details but this one is my favorite so far! Yoshi and Myong made me feel super welcomed, comfy and happy in their guesthouse. I arrived with a BIG LUGAGGE which was right away taken up by Yoshi (thank you so much!!!) and when I left he reminded me I could ask for his help if I needed (which I did). I like to ”judge” a place by the comfiness of their sofas, and Aso Base delivered superb excellency! So many cozy corners, there's not even one futon that is not hyper soft! The bathrooms have some themes on the wall, one is the cat theme, another one jellyfish and the other is lizards, so I had fun time choosing what theme I would go to. The shower capsules have shampoo conditioner and soap and then an area to dry your hair with a great view! There's details that are just piece of art! A small corner with a table, cd player and CDs that are awesome- Japanese, international and relax music and audiobooks! I've searched many of them in Spotify and will keep listening. While you are listening there are some images, like a collage, and it's so well thought. Every image has a doll representing it live action as well, like dreams coming true. The kitchen is reeeeaallly equipped, drinking water at the tap and has lots of seasonings and teapots 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 There's extra blankets and pillows and some of the pillows are animal shaped 😺🐶🐷🐑 so during my four nights there I slept in the company of Mr Snuggles, a grey cat that smiled with his eyes closed - there was pinky pig and hairy sheep too! in the female dorm every bed has a blue sky wallpaper like in Toy Story!!!! 🥹 I was a bit worried because the comments say there's lots of rules and that they are strict and don't open the door for people in the rain. But the thing is: there are some rules, because they are two people (+ another lady who helps with cleaning) taking care of a big house. It needs some organization and routines. They provide storage and the area has great options to enjoy while waiting - if necessary. Is a small town, many great restaurants around - the shop right next to the station that sells local products is a must trying repeatedly, the best onsen in the region is 3 minutes away, a Lawson across the street. I greatly enjoyed my time in Aso and everyday was glad to be going back to Aso Base. It is a place to come with a light and warm heart and soul ( they will certainly retribute), where you can have great conversations, play games or read a book, cozily nested and drinking tea while the fireplace and many lighting create a whole vibe. I've booked 4 nights and wish they were 8! Kamsahamnida and Domo Arigato, Myong and Yoshi!!!

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.

Fantastic place where you can spend more time inside between the great honsen, massages, or just chill/eating. First time I tried something like the is. Super friendly staff.

黑川的溫泉酒店沒訂到，攜程上選了附近的藏迫溫泉的度假屋。6點前要到，否則工作人員下班的。房子很舊了，名字叫“梅”，隔了另外一個房子是一個很新的，應該會舒適很多。廚房設施齊全；室內溫泉很燙，要試過溫度再進水。毛巾很小，要自帶浴巾。

場所は本渡バスセンター近くで、コンビニやマックも周辺にあります！ 部屋の設備はパジャマやバスタオル、タオルやドライヤーが揃っていました！バスルームには歯磨きセットに、ボディソープやシャンプーが備えています！本当に便利です！！ ランドリーは有料だけど、500円で出来ます。当日はフロントに頼むと、翌日の15時以降に乾燥まで完了した状態で受け取れます！周辺のランドリーよりは格安で最良でした！！ このホテルに泊まり、快適に過ごせて気持ち良かったです‼️
