"The location of the hotel is more remote than expected, and requires a short walk up a slope, but it is still within an acceptable range. There are buses outside the hotel, but none of them pass by the destination we want to go, so we choose to walk there.
The hotel is next to Kumamoto Castle. When booking, I chose the direction of Kumamoto Castle and I was not disappointed. The actual Kumamoto Castle is larger than in the photo, so it is worth walking up the slope.
The decoration of the hotel is a bit old-fashioned, and the space in various aspects is also very large, such as the rooms and the hotel lobby, etc., the sense of space is very sufficient. There seems to be a cafe downstairs (not sure about this because I only stayed one night and didn’t explore the surrounding area).
When checking in, the staff gave us some sweets as a gift. Although they were just snacks from a regular souvenir shop, they were very heartwarming.
In addition to Kumamoto Castle, there are also Kato Shrine, Inari Shrine, etc. next to the hotel. At the bottom of the mountain, there is the Kumamoto City Museum of Contemporary Art and Shimodori Shopping Street, so it is also very convenient."
