Hotels With Parking in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan

Compared to hotels in Tokyo and Fukuoka at the same price point, The Blossom Kumamoto offers excellent value for money! First off, the location is incredibly convenient, right next to Kumamoto Station's exit. We used it as our base for five nights, visiting Kagoshima, Kurokawa Onsen, Mount Aso, Amakusa, and Tanushimaru Station, making our 7-day JR Pass absolutely worth it! Secondly, it's right next to Amu Plaza, where we had many of our meals. The 6th and 7th floors have restaurant dining options, including Seireitei and wagyu beef. The first floor, near the Higo Market, offers horse sashimi, ramen, sushi, and more – super convenient. Finally, regarding the hotel itself, the room type we booked was quite spacious and quiet, and the facilities are relatively new. The only downside is no in-room bathtub (though there's a public onsen, which can get a bit crowded). One minor annoyance is that, apart from deep cleaning days, they don't even make the bed, haha. They only empty the trash and restock supplies. However, the staff are all very nice, friendly, and professional. Overall, highly recommended.

This hotel is super convenient! It's right by Kumamoto Station; you just turn left after exiting and you'll spot it. Perfect for travelers using JR or Shinkansen. Plus, there's an electronics store and a mall right next door. It's a bit of a walk to Sakuramachi, about 20 minutes, but you can always hop on their streetcar. The room size is a bit small, and the bed takes up most of the space, making it feel a little cramped. Toothbrushes and toothpaste are in the bathroom, but other toiletries can be picked up at the front desk. If you want skincare samples, you'll need to ask the staff. There are coin-operated washing machines on B1, and it's 500 yen for a wash and dry cycle. The staff are all very friendly and attentive. They're always ready to help. I'd definitely choose this place again on my next trip to Kumamoto.

2nd time staying this hotel. What can i say? Perfect location. For those coming from Fuokuoka airport. You just need to take the airport bus straight to the sakura machi bus station, up the escalator straight to the hotel. Near to shopping street as well.

The staff is friendly and provide good service. The bath house is normal, but can tell its age. I feel the room is very dusty, it’s making my hand itchy and nose sneezy all the time. The bathroom is also old with water marks and mould. I am a fan of Dormy Inn and have stayed in Dormy Inn branches at Aomori, Hachinohe, Tokyo, and Osaka before, but this Kumamoto branch has the most room for improvement. The hotel is in walkable distance to the castle, so it is great.

A great value stay! The staff were friendly and helpful. The washing machine facilities were easy to use and managed to find an available machine most times. We stayed for 3 nights and each day bins were emptied and fresh towels given. The extra space under the bed for suitcases is a great touch and overall the room design in excellent. There were several tour groups staying during the 3 days which made it a little too busy, especially during breakfast as these guests all went at the same time. Not a great experience for more independent travelers like us, but the staff tried very hard. Overall one of the better stays we had during our Kyushu trip.

The room was very clean and not small at all. The only downsides were that the sink tended to splash water easily, and it was quite rare for a bathroom in Japan not to have a bathtub (though I personally found it convenient and clean). If you really want to catch the volcano opening, staying here for two nights is a good idea. The tranquility after the day-trippers leave in the early morning and evening is wonderful. However, dining options nearby are a bit limited. There's a medium-sized local supermarket near Aso Station that closes at 6 PM; it's great for grabbing discounted onigiri and bento boxes. If you walk about 3 minutes towards the main road, there's a Western-style cafe that offers three-course sets. A Lawson convenience store is 5 minutes away, and about 10 minutes away, there's a local ramen shop called 'Hi no Kuni' (Fire Country) that's highly recommended. Their black garlic ramen, a full-meal type, costs 75 yen and tastes good, though the shop is a bit old and could be cleaner.

We arrived by car, and parking at the hotel was quite challenging. It's best to pull up to the entrance and have the staff assist with parking. The staff provided excellent service, offering a detailed introduction before we checked in. Our room, located right by the river, was very comfortable and had a lot of character, reflecting its long history. It's important to note that while there's a private toilet in the room, showering facilities are located at the main hot spring area, accessible via a small wooden bridge. Kurokawa Onsen itself is quite small; you can explore the whole area in about twenty minutes. We were lucky enough to catch the Yu-tō Festival (Lantern Festival) on its final night. The hotel's dinner comes highly recommended. The portions were incredibly generous – we couldn't even finish it all – and the taste was excellent. Featuring both wagyu beef and horse meat, it was truly a highlight.

The hotel is very antique hot spring hotel, there is an outdoor hot spring to enjoy the view, also has a hot spring on the roof, another characteristic 😍 very beautiful view 👍 smoking room very good because there is a beautiful view 😍 I called this hotel's smoking room is the most beautiful smoking room

Good if you like old school charm hotel, room and service. Castle view room was a disappointment - have to stand at the side of the window to actually see the castle :( Location was great and parking was onsite. There’s a driveway at the front of the hotel and from there, the staff guided us to their onsite parking. It’s as advertised JPY1000 per day but on day of checkout, parking is until 11.30am. After that, cheaper to park elsewhere (JPY100 for 15mins vs JPY200 for 2hrs at Kumamoto Castle).

I had a wonderful stay at Kyukamura Minami-Aso — the location is absolutely stunning, surrounded by the peaceful Aso mountains with beautiful views of the caldera and lush greenery. It’s the perfect place to relax and reconnect with nature. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and they went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The onsen was clean and relaxing, especially with the mountain view — a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring Aso. Dinner and breakfast were excellent, with a wide variety of local dishes and fresh ingredients. The buffet offered a nice balance of Japanese and Western options, and everything tasted home-cooked and authentic. The room was clean, spacious, and cozy, with a wonderful view right from the window. Waking up to the morning mist over the mountains was an unforgettable experience. Overall, Kyukamura Minami-Aso is a peaceful retreat with warm hospitality, great food, and breathtaking scenery. I would love to stay here again!
