There are 2 Daiwa Roynet Hotels in Kumamoto, so we took a taxi to the wrong one! Fortunately, they are walking distance from each other. The taxi driver cannot read English, so you need to be clear that it is the Ginza Dori one. It is not near to the railway station, so tram ride is needed. We took a taxi because there were 2 of us and 2 large bags. I like the room size because of our large suitcases. There are many restaurants nearby. We love this place
The hotel is situated next to a train station and has ample parking lots. Building and rooms were new and clean. Service was alright, nothing particularly outstanding but you can expect the usual Japanese courtesies. Facilities wise is basic, with no gym or pool. Its pantry/dining area is however well stocked and is a comfortable and stylish place to chill out at!
Provide free parking, disposable toiletries,
There is a microwave outside the elevator on each floor.
The room has plenty of space, the bathroom is nostalgic, and the view outside the window is pleasant
There is a large supermarket nearby
Best location at Kumamoto, on top of the train station, also connect with Amu Plaza which is very convenient, big shopping mall with great waterfall design, can take elevator go up to hotel, also parking fee only 1000 yen for hotel guest.
Hotel with public hot spring for guests to enjoy as well.
Amazing stay. If you have a car I recommend here. The dinner and breakfast was amazing and the staff were super friendly. I spoke a little Japanese and they were so patient with me practicing. The outdoor onsen was the best I’ve stayed at and I could even see some stars at night!
Only down side was there was no wall plug next to my bed.
Only recommendations is I wish Onsen had ‘adult only’ bathing time as a Single female traveler I’m not the biggest fan of children during my bathing time because of noise.
Ryokan Ayu No Sato provides an authentic and peaceful Japanese ryokan experience, with traditional accommodations, beautiful hot springs, and delicious seasonal cuisine. Its location in the scenic Kirishima area, surrounded by mountains and nature, offers a perfect escape for relaxation, cultural immersion, and wellness.
It is a location where you can enjoy Tsuetate's beautiful natural scenery, and I was impressed by the staff's attentive service. The buffet restaurant used for breakfast and dinner offers a variety of high-quality food. The tableware was beautiful, all the food was delicious, and the staff was very friendly. It was a truly happy time to be able to enjoy a variety of hot springs, including the hotel's two hot spring facilities and the Kiso-no-yu outdoor hot spring. I was impressed that they gave me a shuttle to the terminal even after I checked out. I had a really satisfying time with my family. thank you
The hotel is located at the centre of 黑川溫泉區, which is quite rural so highly recommended to go by car.
The service is excellent! The staff helped us to park the car and take the luggages up the stairs to our Japanese style family room.
We have ordered full board package and both meals are gorgeous.
There are many onsens in the hotel which are non-reserved and private, allowing family to enjoy onsen together. One drawback is that there are many stairs so elderly might have to take it into consideration.
Very traditional ryokan. You have to take off your shoes when you enter the door. There is a Chinese waiter at the front desk of the hotel. But obviously he is a newcomer, and he is not very familiar with some management matters of the hotel and the surrounding attractions. The order is one parking and two food, the ingredients are very fresh, the variety is rich and creative, and the taste is good. Early and evening meals are served in separate private rooms. The hotel proprietress will personally visit each private room to worship visitors and collect their comments on the hotel. The hotel itself is good, the balcony of the room booked has a private bath, facing the river. It's just that the private soup is very ordinary, and the scenery is also average. Yamaga is really a small place, there are no shops and no attractions. There is only one Yachiyo and Lantern Museum. There is nothing to shop around. If it's just a clean picture, it's barely acceptable. More than 3,000 a night is not cost-effective.

LLimJia YingThe service provided here is up and beyond. I love that the whole set up gives not only space for people to mingle, also proper work space to have your alone time if you need it. A beautiful kitchen set up as well, I felt very safe and clean staying here. It was my first time using a kotatsu table too, a dream come true. I listened to some cd displayed for anyone to listen on a headphone. So much fun. The location is perfect too, super close to Aso Station, where we get to everywhere.
BBao QuocGood location, 2 minute walk to Sakuramachi Bus Station for long distance bus or city bus and also near tram station for city roaming. The kumamoto is easily accessed with a 10 minute walk. The room size and amenities are standard and clean.
AAnonymous UserGood location with shopping arcade right next to it! Lots of good shops like Mister Donut, Gindaco. Walking distance to most attractions like Kumamoto Castle and famous ramen. Great variety of self-pick up amenities (toothbrush, cleanser, body sponge, comb, tea, coffee etc.) and special request amenities like hair curler, latex pillow, power bank, shoe dryer and many more! Easy digital self-check-in with staff assistance. Good breakfast variety and clean environment. Luggage storage with front desk is also easy! Parking guidance brochure available. Free cheese grain snack upon check-in. Highly recommend for anyone to stay here!
JJustin L.This hotel is amazing! I stay with my family and the place is just spotless. Loved the large bathroom two sinks available!
Dont get me started with the outdoor onsen and that was fantastic after a long day of driving.
Breakfast is great and the place is within walking distance to the shopping centers, we end up having dinner at the Kumamoto Food stall.
Cosy place, nice beds, Netflix and YouTube available on the TV, coffee and tea and free amenities for guest to enjoy.
GGuest UserLast week, I stayed at Kurowakaso for one night~~!
First of all, I really, really recommend it👍🏻 Go there a hundred, ten thousand, and a thousand and five hundred times!!
The staff are very kind, and the hot spring facilities and room condition are the best!
I was able to try on traditional Japanese clothes, and the food was especially the best!
The food was really good, and they gave me so much food that I almost burst😂
I was lucky that my group and I were the only ones in the family bath and large bath, so I took pictures, but the hot spring for guests only is also amazing!
It was a good memory~ A lot of Korean tourists are going to Kumamoto these days, so if you're thinking about visiting a hot spring, I recommend this place👻
(By the way, there's a staff member who speaks Korean really well♡)
TTannkerHotel is newly renovated. Give a new and upscale look. Location is well located at the bus and train terminal. A big mall with lots of restaurants and shops to dine and shop. Room is small but is good and comfy.
GGuest UserI honestly do not know where to start, I booked the hotel without really knowing much about Kumamoto Prefecture. After arriving in Kumamoto City and then realising Ueki Onsen is another 40 minute bus ride I was thinking oh dear where am I staying. After arriving at the hotel I was greeted by the manager of the hotel who showed me to my room and gave me a tour of the facilities. Once settled in I realised there isn't great public transport around and I primarily wanted to see Beppu and Yufuin during my stay, I enquired with the manager on where I might be able to rent a car, with little to no Japanese language under my belt he took it upon himself to reserve a vehicle for me and offered to drive me himself to collect it. He then also said he would take me back to return it a few days later. After my trips to Beppu and Yufui village (Not to be missed) and not to miss the outstanding and beautiful surroundings in Uekimachi and the Aso region. The manager and I set off to return my hire car, on the way back he took me to Kikuchi shrine to pray and also gifted me coffee and cake. They also accommodated me with use of the on site onsen (amazing) after hours as I'm heavily tattooed. I feel truly grateful to have found this hidden gem of rural Japan and if you are thinking of traveling this great country I emplore you to go off the beaten path. I experienced untold kindness during my stay and have memories of a life time. Thank you so much guys

SSimYenHotel just off the A line tram stop, at end of Shimatori shopping street. Nearby Sakura Machi, a 10 mins walk to Kumamoto Castle. Hotel is new and clean, there is laundry facilities and locker facilities to leave your luggage.
TTraveller CI stayed at this hotel twice. The second time (this booking) we had a room on the older (?) wing and it was almost twice the size of the first one. So for this review I will only share feedback on this “older” room.
This room was big and thus good for us as we had 2 large luggage and more space in the room allowed us to open and pack our luggages with ease.
The bathroom was large with the large traditional bathtub. Toilet had bidet and etc but lacked heating which made it very cold in the winter. Basin tap was still the old turn types which was not eco friendly as it’s more difficult to shut it off.
Location was just opposite the train station which was excellent. But the nearest convenience store is also only at the train station which is about a 5-7mins walk away.
Breakfast was curated to suit the Japanese palette more and ends at 9a.m which is really way too early!!
We left something behind in the hotel but they managed to send the item back to us at our new hotel (still in Japan) which was highly appreciated.
Despite a few minor shortcomings listed above, the pros still outweigh the cons and I’ll definitely be happy to stay here again.
