2-Star Hotels in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan

Room is definitely small in japan as usual . Have hotel open space parking with only 6 lots and cost 1100-1200 yen per day. Not really city center and distance walk to the happening or attraction area. Hotel staff can’t speak English well and I have no idea why only this hotel keep sending emails to me to ask for personal detail.

It is a bit similar to the concept of youth hostel, and the public area of the living room provides dining exchanges for everyone. The tatami room needs to be covered by your own quilt. It is best to carry a disposable sleeping bag. There is also a certain distance to drive there. It will be better to go a little earlier.～ The kitten is also very close.

I like it very much. I booked a single room so it is relatively small. But there are only three rooms on the first floor, which is very quiet. There is a shared kitchen and bathroom. It is very convenient to heat food, pour water, and drink coffee. You can also borrow the boss's bicycle for free to go around. I rode to Tengu Bridge in the rain, but unfortunately the road was under construction. But riding along the way, it was really rural scenery, very quiet and comfortable! If you take the bus, actually get off at Hitoyoshiyakusho Station and walk back about 100 meters. The Lawson convenience store is right next to the hotel, which is very convenient. But everyone will definitely go to Hitoyoshi Station to check in. It still takes at least 10 minutes to walk from the hotel to Hitoyoshi Station, which is a bit of a road. Of course, people who like to run wildly think it’s okay, but those of us carrying big bags still hope to stay within 500 meters.

Nice, artistic, comfortable, convenient place to stay in Kumamoto. Enjoyed the free noodle, beverages and breakfast at the pantry. Love it and will stay again.

I think it was the biggest disappointment so far. The hotel is fine if you stay for one night. But more — I doubt it. For example, it is mandatory to leave at 10:00 even if you stay for more than one night. You can pay 1500 yen, but it literally gives you nothing. You can’t use sauna and sento. You received no additional service or amenities. Even sleeping is hard — the staff changes sheets. Next, people actually live in this capsule hotel. It means they get up very early, loud, alarm clocks, etc. Finally, the locker room is super tiny. There is little space. No benches. Definitely will not stay again. Good sides — the staff is polite, and you can store your luggage at the counter. Actually, you must, but people still carry their luggage upstairs.

A place suitable for solo female travelers. I stayed with my boyfriend, but the owner clearly separated the male and female areas. The bathroom and sleeping areas were shared, but the shower was shared. We felt it was private. On the day we went, there were 4 of us, including the owner. We rented a car and drove there. There's parking about 100 meters before the walkway up to the accommodation, which was very convenient. If you don't have a car, he works at a gas station on the way to the Onsen Village. You can catch his ride. He gets off work at 5:00 PM every day and leaves at 8:00 AM. The owner is very kind. He provides free drinking water and hot water. It's not far from the Onsen Village. For those who love nature and relaxation, this is the place to stay. My first time here was very impressive. This is a place we'll definitely return to. The house accommodates 6 people. Next time we have 6 people, we'll definitely stay here. Contact him via email. He's very responsive. Or, you can ask at the gas station.

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!!!

九州出張の最終日に温泉に入りたく、宿泊しました。 湯の児温泉は市内から海側に離れているので、タクシー での移動が必要です。（当方は実家の車で移動） 部屋は昔ながらの旅館スタイルで広々としています。 また全部屋有明海を臨むオーシャンビューです。 掃除も行き届いており清潔でした。 温泉は内湯の他、男性用の露天風呂、檜風呂、洞窟風呂、 離れの“展望風呂”がありました。平日で宿泊客も少なめ だったので、展望風呂を貸切状態で利用できました。 水質もトロっとしており、肌もスベスベになる感じです。 朝は雨模様でしたが、露天風呂を満喫しました。 朝食も焼魚、肉系、惣菜と湯豆腐と品数豊富で満足です。 久々に日常を忘れてのんびり過ごすことができました。

The location itself is practically impossible to get to without a car. Parking is conveniently provided, as it's exclusive to the ryokan. The surrounding atmosphere is very satisfying. However, you'll need to rent everything from towels to yukatas at the ryokan. Breakfast is simple. There's a nearby place offering free sulfur hell steaming, so you can just buy eggs and cook them yourself (50 yen). You can also make other sulfur-based dishes if you'd like! I was disappointed that there was only one hot spring, and the water wasn't particularly special. Overall... Spend more and go somewhere better.
