Very beautiful place, and the room was truly excellent: spacious, bright, warm, with impeccable bedding and cleanliness.
The bathroom is large and includes a bathtub, and the room is very well equipped (electric kettle, small kitchen, large refrigerator).
It was also possible to arrange horseback riding and get onsen tickets, which is a real plus.
However, for backpackers, this accommodation is not ideal at all. It is very far from everything:
– FamilyMart: about a 27-minute walk
– Bus stop: about a 21-minute walk
– Mount Aso Museum: around 1h15 total (including 20 minutes on foot)
– Aso Station: about a 1h15 walk
A small anecdote: we first climbed up to the accommodation carrying our 10 kg backpacks, only to see on the door that check-in is actually done at the bottom. It would be helpful to indicate this more clearly downstairs, or at least make it easier to notice for foreign travelers, as we missed the information 😅
Finally, for those planning to walk to the Aso Museum or hiking areas, the path indicated at the end of the residential area near the accommodation does not exist.
