2-Star Hotels in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan

"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!!!"

"I really loved that there was a large public bath. If you take the limousine from Kumamoto Airport, there is a stop right in front of the hotel. It was very convenient and nice. You can walk to the city center, and it is enjoyable to look around the streets while traveling. I highly recommend it. I will visit again with my family next time."

"Kumamoto Hotel Prices ㄷ I used the hostel ㄱ좋음 Legendary Clean and Large Bath Legendary The staff are also legendary friendly ㄱ"

"This is a hotel I would like to stay again. It is a nice clean hotel that is very value for money. It is also near to the station and if you drives the parking is free of charge. The hotel even provide breakfast for every guest. Although it is near to the train station, can't really hear much or any noise at all which may be due to the good sound proofing thus I have a good night rest. This is the place i can highly recommend if you plan to visit Mt. Aso and its vicinity. My only feedback is the double bed is bit small than a queen bed for my 1 night triple room that i booked. Overall the room size is sufficient for 3 pax and 3 luggages."

"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."

"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."

"The lobby, corridor, room, all were clean and clean. The amenities were in the form of getting what you needed at the front desk, and only bath towels and face towels were set in the room from the beginning. Toothbrushes, razors, etc. were available for a few minutes. You need to leave your room key at the front desk when you go out. If the room was an annex, you had to go to the main building with the front desk and it was a little detour. There was only one room key in each room."

"【アクセス】 メインの大通りから少し入った静かな場所にあります。バス停の「天草市役所」から歩いて10分ほどの場所です。宿にはシェアサイクルのポートがありました。タクシーに乗るほどではないけれど、歩くとちょっと遠いな、と言う場合には便利です。 【部屋】 玄関で靴を脱ぎ、板の間にベッドやテーブルも置かれています。段差があるのでつまずかないように注意が必要。テーブルと椅子はコンパクトに作られており、ちょっとした作業には問題ないが、長時間の仕事ではきついかも。 室内は白いのが印象的で、板の間も心地よく、掃除が行き届いて気持ちよかったです。 【アメニティ】 歯ブラシや化粧水などのアメニティーはフロントからいただくシステム。部屋にパジャマがなかったので、テーブルに置かれていた約款？(ガイド的なもの)を読むと、貸し出し品として記載がありました。チェックインの時に部屋着が必要かどうか一言確認があればいいなと思いました。もしくは部屋に置いておいてもらえれば助かります。 朝食はいただかなかったので、コメントはありません。  "

"It is large as an open-air bath with a room, the river just below is clear, the hot water is just right as a trolley, and it is so comfortable that I don't want to come out, so I went in many times. There are many kinds of dishes for dinner and breakfast, but the amount was just right and delicious. It was a really comfortable inn with almost no sounds of the neighbors or the sound of cars, as it felt like an inn hidden quietly in nature. I am convinced that there are many regular customers. I'll see you again."

"Family run, very accommodating and friendly. Breakfast was excellent and highly recommended. Located in an onsen village (property has a nice onsen) and close to community footbath."
