Hotels With Pools in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan

The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and polite, with radiant smiles (the kind where even your eyes seem to smile). The front desk staff even came out to greet us when we checked out, offered to take commemorative photos, and helped us drive our car across the street. They greeted us again as we drove away; we truly felt their warmth and hospitality. The room was also very large (super large for a pure Japanese-style room; I roughly counted over 25 tatami mats in the main space), and the view was fantastic, overlooking a river, with the sound of flowing water (of course, you had to open the window; the soundproofing was quite good). The onsen (hot spring) is another highlight of the hotel. We took the hotel's free shuttle bus, which runs every 20-30 minutes from the hotel entrance. It takes you to the hotel's open-air onsen, which has five different types, all of which were amazing, though surprisingly few people were using them 😂😂😂 My friends also said it would be a worthwhile experience to stay here again.

This is a fantastic resort! With the dinner and breakfast package, you practically don't need to leave the hotel for meals. The resort offers a wide range of entertainment facilities, including a swimming pool and a mini lazy river. The onsen (hot springs) are also excellent, with each bath providing a different scenic view. It's conveniently located about 1 km (a 15-minute walk) from Aso Station, making it very easy to get to the volcano crater.

Comfortable environment, room can be relaxing

The hot spring hotel is close to Hitoyoshi IC and Hitoyoshi Station. There is a fresh food supermarket opposite, which is very convenient. The environment is very good. The Kuma River flows right under the window and it is very close to the Hitoyoshi Castle ruins. The room facilities are old, the bathrobes provided are not cotton, the hotel service staff are enthusiastic and the explanations are clear and concise.

The room was very spacious and the bathroom and toilet were clean. We could use the large public bath and guests were given free sorbet. They also provided individual transportation to the airport, which was very helpful.

The hotel's location is excellent, the rooms are spacious, and the breakfast offers a great variety. The service is superb, and it's very conveniently located. It's probably the most luxurious hotel in the area, complete with indoor and outdoor hot springs!

The building itself is old, but it has been well-cleaned and kept clean, the restaurant seems to have been renovated, it has a very stylish space, and all the food was delicious. Above all, the hospitality of the staff was amazing! We had a comfortable stay. The adorable cats were also soothing. As one of the eight sunset views, we were able to see a big, round, beautiful sunset. This is an inn that I would like to stay at again. After checking out, they saw us off, and in the rearview mirror I could see them waving goodbye until we were out of sight. It was a really wonderful hotel ♡

The location is close to Kumamoto Airport and pick-up is available. The owner is friendly and it is good for barbecue.

The hotel is located on the plateau plains, with fresh air and beautiful scenery nearby. However, the location is relatively remote and suitable for self-driving travelers. It is very close to Aso Volcano. I stayed in the new hotel. Because it had just been renovated, the room was relatively large. The decoration of the room was very new and the layout was simple. The scenery outside the balcony was beautiful. It was a comfortable stay. The front desk clerk is a foreigner, easy to communicate with and polite. When I asked if there was a room with a private hot spring pool that we could upgrade to, the waiter took the initiative to arrange a family bath for me to enjoy for free during our designated time period. This Very thoughtful. The buffet dinner and breakfast provided by the hotel were average. The food was not rich in variety and not hot enough. This was the only thing that disappointed us.

Hotel and public bath area a bit aged. Good Large room. The 2 hotel onsen area need to drive or walk 5 -10 mins its not very convenient
