Hotels With Bar in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan

This hotel is, without a doubt, the most satisfying I've stayed at during my solo trips to Japan over the past few years! 👍5☆☆☆☆☆ 1. The hotel is conveniently located right next to Kumamoto Station, just a 3-4 minute walk to the left after exiting (Photo 3). The rooms are spacious, and the bathrooms are large. They provide complimentary bottled water. It's quiet at night. Photos 5 & 6 show the view from room 714. The front desk staff are patient, professional, and attentive. 👍 2. There are many dining options inside the train station, making meals very convenient. 3. There are bus and tram stops right outside the hotel. You can use IC credit cards (UnionPay, VISA) and Alipay directly on all Kumamoto city buses and trams for payment, which is incredibly convenient! We walked to Kumamoto Castle, stopping at Kitaoka Shrine ⛩ along the way. We took Tram Line A back. It's very close to Kumamoto Castle and the city center. 4. The next morning, we headed to Mount Aso. We bought tickets to Aso Station at Kumamoto Station, and there were several train times to choose from. Very convenient! If you're planning a city walk in Kumamoto and a visit to Mount Aso, I highly recommend this hotel.

We had a great stay at Kamenoi Hotel Aso Park. We booked a room in the South Building, which was spacious,clean, and had a large, comfortable bed. The hotel provides yukata robes in various colors, which was a lovely touch for guests to enjoy the onsen experience. ♨️ The onsen was large and relaxing — perfect after a day of exploring Aso. 🚗 Parking was very convenient, located right next to the hotel. Just across the parking area, there’s a 24-hour convenience store called Obentou Hirai offering ready-made bentos, hot meals, ramen, and udon — extremely convenient for late-night snacks or quick meals. 🍱 We chose a room-only package without meals, and in the morning, we visited the local souvenir and food center at Aso Station. It had a great selection of local foods and breakfast options, plus plenty of gifts and souvenirs to bring home. Overall, a comfortable stay with everything we needed nearby. Highly recommended if you’re exploring the Aso area!

The hotel employees all of them were showed a good attitude and communication was no problem for foreigners. The location is great — it’s close to Kumamoto Castle, and there’s a shopping mall just about a 10-minute walk away. I made a reservation for a triple room for two nights. The sofa bed was uncomfortable, and the air conditioner could not adjust the airflow direction, which caused us to catch a cold. One more thing, the room key had to be returned and kept at the counter whenever we went out for the day.

Environment: The environment is very good, right next to the stream. It is not far from the station and the hot spring service station. It should be the largest hotel in the entire Kurokawa Onsen. Service: There is a shuttle service to the station, which is very convenient. The hotel has 2 large baths, one is for hand-held types, and the other is a bath that can only be used by accommodation. Overall, it is great, the water quality is very good and clean. The hotel service is very good, the instructions are very clear, and the buffet dinner is quite rich, with hot pot, teppanyaki, and sashimi. The only shortcoming I found is that the breakfast variety is a little small, and there is no seafood rice bowl that I like most. Overall, it is still great. Next time I have the opportunity to go to Kurokawa Onsen again, I will definitely choose Youcai.

This is definitely a fabulous and fantastic experience living in a Ryokan, and this Ryokan is also reputable among local people, which means it is highly recognized by Hitoyoshi residents. Some local residents also spend their time in this Ryokan as a relaxing journey. I ordered the room with breakfast served, and it looked so amazing and delicate. I hope to visit here again in the near future if there will be any chances. I absolutely love this little town.

Before coming to Kumamoto, I noticed that some hotels here were a bit small and old. After comparing a few, I decided to go with the long-established local brand, Nikko Hotel, and it turned out to be a very wise choice! The hotel is right in the city center, directly opposite Tsuruya Department Store. Pedestrian streets like Shimotori and Ginza-dori are just a few minutes' walk away, lined with countless restaurants, izakayas, bars, and drugstores. Although the hotel has been around for some time, it's very well-maintained and clean, clearly showing the elegance of a classic high-end hotel. Both the rooms and shower areas are quite spacious. For breakfast, you have two options: a Japanese-style meal on the 7th floor or a buffet on the 2nd floor, which offers a rich variety of delicious dishes. The concierge was exceptionally helpful and polite, assisting with Shinkansen schedules and calling taxis. They even kept bowing until we got into the car.

This is our second time staying at FAV Hotel, and the overall experience was very pleasant. Firstly, the room design is very modern, giving it a comfortable feel. The interior color palette primarily uses warm tones, complemented by wooden decor, creating a cozy atmosphere. The room's layout is also very practical. The bunk bed design is especially suitable for family travelers; children can play on them, making it easier for parents. Additionally, the beds are extremely comfortable, ensuring we had a good night's sleep. In terms of space, the room is exceptionally spacious, and it provides plenty of charging ports. The room is equipped with a kitchenette and a washing machine, which is extremely convenient. The only minor drawback is the limited parking, with only three spaces available. However, there's a nearby parking lot which costs just 600 yen for the whole night. Furthermore, there's a convenience store within a one-minute walk. In summary, I was extremely satisfied with the design, comfort, and convenience of the rooms at this hotel. Highly recommended for family travelers!

The room is spacious and has a traditional Japanese hot spring hotel layout. The view from the room is very pleasant. I enjoy watching the sunset. The shampoo and conditioner provided in the room are very useful. My family bought two bottles of each to take home. The service staff is very nice. The hospitality was great, the dinner was rich, and the private style was very unique. I had a very pleasant evening.

The room was quite spacious, but the facilities felt a bit outdated. There was a slight odor in the bathroom of our 16th-floor room, and the cleaning service was just average. The surrounding area offers convenient transportation, being about a 15-minute walk to Kumamoto Station and approximately 5 minutes to Gion Station on Line A. However, there are no convenience stores nearby; you have to walk about 10 minutes to find one, which was a bit inconvenient.

The picturesque scenery and outdoor onsen were delightful. The stay with dinner and breakfast included was absolutely fantastic value for money. Dinner was incredibly generous, and there was a wide variety of options for breakfast too. They even provided fireworks for the kids! My only slight complaint was that the air conditioning wasn't quite cold enough for my liking, but I still managed to sleep comfortably.
