Minamiaso Hotels with Parking

Our recent stay at a charming guesthouse felt like stepping into the pages of a fairytale. The entire house exuded simplicity and warmth, reminiscent of a storybook setting. The gracious host welcomed us with genuine enthusiasm, even though our grasp of Japanese was limited. Despite the language barrier, we thoroughly enjoyed our conversations. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the sumptuous dinner. We were almost too full to continue after indulging in the feast. The homemade hamburger steak, lovingly prepared by the host, was exceptionally delicious. If you’re seeking a heartwarming experience in Aso, I highly recommend giving this guesthouse a try.

Have you read the detective novel by British writer Agatha Christie? She has a work called ”Crimes in the Sun”, which is about a group of tourists vacationing on a sunny island. Suddenly an extremely strange murder happened... When we walked into this hotel, I Suddenly thought of Christie's novel in his mind. In the remote and quiet countryside, a hotel with a strong classic flavor stands alone. There is an elegant restaurant in the hotel with about ten rooms. Through the window of the guest room, you can see the smoke erupting from Mount Aso and the rolling mountains in the distance. The surroundings of the hotel are quiet, full of greenery. Everything fits perfectly with the scene in Christie's work...Of course, nothing changed in the end. We spent two happily nights here, soaking in the natural hot springs in the hotel every morning and evening. The boss’s cooking skills are good, and the breakfast she cooked is very delicious. highly recommended.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour au Ryokan Minawa, un lieu paisible et authentique au cœur de la nature du mont Aso. Le cadre est superbe, entre montagnes et verdure, et les bains onsen privés sont vraiment relaxants. Le personnel est très accueillant et attentionné, et les repas servis sont délicieux et joliment présentés. Une expérience japonaise traditionnelle que nous recommandons vivement ! Seuls petits bémols : une légère odeur d’humidité dans la chambre, et le vin le moins cher à la carte un peu trop onéreux à notre goût. Egalement pour y accèder, après plusieurs changements de train, il faut marcher une bonne quizaine de minutes depuis la gare (si pas de voiture). Malgré cela, un endroit magnifique pour se ressourcer et profiter pleinement de la région d’Aso.

I love the interior of this resort. The staff members are really friendly and helpful. I had little knowledge in selecting local onsen resort, so my initial expectation was not high. Much to my surprise, I love everything this hotel has had. Facility wise everything looks brand new. The room is spacious and comfy. The public bath and indoor onsen are big and clean. As for the meals, the presentations were good and they were delicious. I have no complaint about it. Keep up with the good work. Look forward to staying there again.

Good sunset view from the room and its icon swing. Good service and hot spa. Good location for visiting Mount Aso and 20 minutes drive to the top. The only downside is the food service that we cannot order any breakfast and dinner within 3 days ahead which is quite ridiculous. The location is far from any restaurants and need to drive at least 15 minutes to Ozu city for food.

The room named ”grass sound” was stayed. As the name suggests, in a Japanese-style room surrounded by tranquility and signs of nature, I felt my heart unwind from the moment I opened the door. The room is equipped with an open-air bath, and until 20 o'clock at night, there is also an ice cream service in addition to free alcohol drinks. Not only coffee and tea, but also warm soup, and I was gently swallowed by the cold season. The beauty of the starry sky looked up from the room at night was breathtaking. The quiet and clear brilliance that can be felt because there is little artificial light has become an unforgettable memory. The rooms are clean up to corner 々, the amenities are carefully arranged, and you can feel the delicate care everywhere. The staff were warm and kind from beginning to end and I was able to spend very comfortable during my stay. It is an inn that makes you want to visit again.

Although the building is old, the whole is very clean and tidy, the functions are also maintained very well, the breakfast is rich, there are small surprises, and the staff's intentions are felt everywhere. The night stargazing itinerary is divided into three parts. There are star interpretations, like in the 3D cinema, it is very three-dimensional and relaxing, there is an astronomical telescope to actually watch the stars, and there is an experience of lying on the prairie to enjoy the moon and the stars. The overall feeling is very rich and very touched. It is worth staying here for one night, and be sure to come when the weather is good.

This small family-run guesthouse is nestled in the Minami-Aso mountains. The rooms are in individual villas, with an open-air hot spring bath in a separate building (though the water isn't very hot). Each room has a toilet and is in a spacious Japanese-Western style. A night's stay with two meals for under 3000 yen is considered inexpensive; dinner might not be enough for those with a large appetite.

The lodge is close to the mount aso with a handful of cozy rooms. The host is kind and friendly. They serve well curated dinner and breakfast in japanese western style. It has been a nice stay.
