Unfortunately, we didn’t manage to get the Kumamon-themed room, but the excellent service more than made up for it! From check-in to parking and the front counter, the staff were consistently helpful and attentive. I even received assistance with parking our car in their container lot, which requires some pretty precise manoeuvring. When they found out it was my husband’s birthday, they kindly offered us a Kumamon pin to keep - such a thoughtful little gesture!
They were also happy to provide a luggage trolley when we returned our rental car with our many pieces of luggage. Another lovely touch is their free postage service when using the hotel’s free postcard. I had my own postcard with a stamp ready, and they even gladly helped me post it! These little gestures really made us feel well taken care of, and we had a very pleasant stay at Mitsui Garden Hotel Kumamoto.
Response from Property: Thank you very much for choosing Mitsui Garden Hotel Kumamoto and for sharing such a detailed and heartwarming review.
Although you were unable to reserve our Kumamon-themed room this time, we are truly honored and delighted to hear that our service and hospitality made your stay so memorable.
It brings us immense joy to know that our staff could assist you with the parking process, rental car luggage, and postcard mailing. Furthermore, we are thrilled that the small birthday gesture of the Kumamon pin added a touch of celebration to your husband’s special day! Knowing that these small acts of care helped make your stay comfortable is the greatest reward for our team.
We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you and your husband back again in the near future—and hopefully, next time in one of our Kumamon rooms!

Excellent value for money! I booked a standard room near Sakuramachi Bus Terminal and got a free upgrade to a Kumamon-themed room. Kumamoto really has Kumamon elements everywhere you look.

The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff friendly and helpful, and the location is perfect for exploring the city. A special mention goes to the lovely entrance area featuring Kumamon — the giant bear mascot at the lobby is adorable and makes for a fun photo spot right when you walk in!

Facilities: A very good hotel under Mitsui, the facilities are decent. Although it's a bit old, it's still very good. Hygiene: Very clean, but I mistakenly selected a smoking room, so there was a bit of an odor. Environment: It's very close to Sakuracho, so entertainment and shopping are very convenient. The Kumamon bear at the hotel is really lovely. Service: There was a Chinese-speaking staff member who provided very attentive service throughout and even informed us that there are free drinks on the second floor.

The Mitsui Garden Hotel in Kumamoto is in a great location of the city. A short walk from shopping centers and the trams of Kumamoto, you will find yourself with an option to check in with staff or via a kiosk.
The rooms for solo travelers is not too big, but has room for luggage and a good sized bed, and a desk too! A good air conditioner helps keep you cool during the summer, and you have good service from the staff as well! Amenities are located on the 1st floor, so stock up before going to your room. I would definitely stay here again in a new visit of Kumamoto.

True to Mitsui's reputation. The entrance was a bit inconspicuous and easy to miss, but the hotel facilities were good.

The location isn't super convenient, but it's only about a 15-20 minute tram ride to the JR station, and getting to Kumamoto Castle is also easy. Overall, it offers great value for money. The room is decorated with adorable Kumamon-themed items throughout, and they even give you a Kumamon folder as a gift. It's really suitable for families with children.
