We offer reasonable accommodation as a hub for traveling in Aso instead of offering large hot spring baths.
"Overall clean, nice, spacious room and staff service is good and we the special pillows ‘True sleeper’.
Only issue is that the room we stayed faces the main road and the windows are not sound-proofed. We could hear noises from vehicles driving passed in the night."

"Even in midsummer, it was comfortable without a cooler. I only took a shower because the bath was ready. There is a hot spring nearby, so I think you should come in.
Breakfast was western food. It was delicious."
It takes 10 minutes by car from the Aso station of the JR Hohi main line. The Japanese-style inn with Onsen (hot spring) has a 130-year history.
"I booked a stay that included breakfast. The owner was incredibly kind and helpful, explaining everything thoroughly when I had questions, which made my stay very smooth. The bedding was super cozy and plush. After a relaxing hot spring bath, I enjoyed a warm cup of tea using the in-room tea bags and kettle, then had a wonderful night's sleep in the comfortable futon. Breakfast was a delicious Japanese-style home-cooked meal. They even knocked on my door to let me know when breakfast was ready. The lounge facilities, including the smoking room and manga collection on the second floor, were also a great bonus."
