The hotel is situated next to a train station and has ample parking lots. Building and rooms were new and clean. Service was alright, nothing particularly outstanding but you can expect the usual Japanese courtesies. Facilities wise is basic, with no gym or pool. Its pantry/dining area is however well stocked and is a comfortable and stylish place to chill out at!
The room is large and the price is reasonable. It is located just outside Shinshi Street, so you can go shopping, which is very convenient. There are also many famous restaurants nearby, such as Kurotei Ramen and Katretei Tonkatsu, which are only a few minutes' walk away. I will consider staying here again next time I go to Kumamoto. 
The hotel is very grand. I chose a random room and was assigned a large room. When I arrived at the hotel, I learned that the room rate included a room and two meals. There was also the Jixiang Hot Spring (five outdoor pools) 1 kilometer away. I had to soak in it before dinner. One, the staff told me that the meal time was 7:30, and it was nearly 8:00 when I entered. It turned out that the buffet dinner was only at 9:00, so I was in a hurry. The hot spring in the hotel is also very good. The small wooden bridge and the stream near the hotel are good places to take pictures.
The staff were very friendly and I was able to spend a good time. It was the first Hitoyoshi Onsen, but the quality of the spring was my favorite and the hot water was lukewarm and my skin was happy. The Kuma River flows in front of me, and I was able to walk around 々 near Sengetsu Shuzo and Hitoyoshi Jo castle. When I arrived, there was a drink service in the lobby and a space to spend a relaxing time drinking alcohol and soft drinks before dinner, so I felt a little better.
I didn't have to think about the noise around me without hearing the sound of the room around me in a complete private room.
I will use it again if I have another chance.
An old resort hotel, in addition to the hot springs, there are many large parking spaces! Dining is acceptable, no more like. If you don't order dinner, you can't find a good restaurant nearby to eat? It's very quiet at night like a suburb! I booked a Japanese-style room but no staff set tatami 
Bedding? I have to do it myself, I am very happy 
It was my first time staying here.
It was a very beautiful and relaxing space!
Breakfast was buffet style and delicious.
I would like to use it again if I have the opportunity.
Very Good

BBao QuocGood location, 2 minute walk to Sakuramachi Bus Station for long distance bus or city bus and also near tram station for city roaming. The kumamoto is easily accessed with a 10 minute walk. The room size and amenities are standard and clean.
AAnonymous UserGood location with shopping arcade right next to it! Lots of good shops like Mister Donut, Gindaco. Walking distance to most attractions like Kumamoto Castle and famous ramen. Great variety of self-pick up amenities (toothbrush, cleanser, body sponge, comb, tea, coffee etc.) and special request amenities like hair curler, latex pillow, power bank, shoe dryer and many more! Easy digital self-check-in with staff assistance. Good breakfast variety and clean environment. Luggage storage with front desk is also easy! Parking guidance brochure available. Free cheese grain snack upon check-in. Highly recommend for anyone to stay here!
TTraveller CI stayed at this hotel twice. The second time (this booking) we had a room on the older (?) wing and it was almost twice the size of the first one. So for this review I will only share feedback on this “older” room.
This room was big and thus good for us as we had 2 large luggage and more space in the room allowed us to open and pack our luggages with ease.
The bathroom was large with the large traditional bathtub. Toilet had bidet and etc but lacked heating which made it very cold in the winter. Basin tap was still the old turn types which was not eco friendly as it’s more difficult to shut it off.
Location was just opposite the train station which was excellent. But the nearest convenience store is also only at the train station which is about a 5-7mins walk away.
Breakfast was curated to suit the Japanese palette more and ends at 9a.m which is really way too early!!
We left something behind in the hotel but they managed to send the item back to us at our new hotel (still in Japan) which was highly appreciated.
Despite a few minor shortcomings listed above, the pros still outweigh the cons and I’ll definitely be happy to stay here again.
CCarey LautlThe location is very good, in front of Kumamoto station, amu is right next to the station, very convenient. The room is not big but clean and cozy, the breakfast food is ok, and the staff is very friendly and helpful.
GGuest UserBetter to rent a car to get there, so convenience is not somebody who books this place should look for.
For relaxing purpose, this is a nice area with lots of green, the down side is it is next to a golf course, so there were sounds of tree-cutting and a bunch of golfers practicing their putts on the practice putting green next to the site for trailers. I am not a big fan of that.
Service is closed to non-existent, there were staffs who helped checking us in, they were friendly and did their job explaining all the essential functions of the trailer. They had to use the translator machine to communicate, they were very patient. I can't rate the service too high because after checking in we were pretty much on our own. So not something you should look for if service is a top priority.
Best part is there is an onsen next to the site that offers family bath, that's memorable.
SSethapongThe hotel was aged I mean enough to makes me feel nostalgic.
Parking is convenient and enough.
I book the Japanese-Style Standard Room · 1 Room - It said just this
(Some room might said no bath so I did not pick but I got no bath nor shower in room anyway - only their big public bath makes it a little adventurous for us for ones who travel with kids and didnot plan to do public bath which makes me totally blank about it and not doing my research. I got big big complain by other guest for not seeing sandal racks in front of the bathing room which of course my fault not seeing that but only if I know and prepared some research this might be a little better)
Bringing two young boys to public bath is not that easy really my 3 years old boy almost fall down the bath.
The staff at the breakfast room tho were more than great although english was not common for all the staffs.
TTo Eat and To TravelThere are many public and private bath to choose from in this ryokan. Plus you can get the kurokawa onsen pass (tegata) which gives you access to 3 external onsens in the town (most ryokans in town are participating) within one year of purchase of the tegata. We didn’t book dinner at the hotel, and used the diner time to try Nonohana お宿 野の花 and Ryokan Konoyu 黒川温泉 旅館 こうの湯, then next morning before breakfast I went to most of the onsens in the hotel, then after breakfast we checked out and tried Miyama Sanso 山みず木別邸 深山山荘, all four places (including this hotel) have amazing onsens and views. We drove so it was easier for us to try onsens far from the hotel, but driving in town wasn’t the easiest given narrow roads. The parking lot is a few minutes walk from the hotel, we kept the key with us for easy move around.
YYangpu-yifuThis hotel is a standard Japanese inn. The whole room is about 100 square meters, with a bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom and private soup room. According to the administrator, the room can accommodate up to five people. The kitchen can cook by yourself. There are microwave ovens, induction cookers, coffee machines, pots and pans. The bus arrives, and it is only 90 meters away from Menglongdan. You can go in and contact the waiter. There will be a van to take you to Menglongdan Huabo. The distance between the two sides is very close. There are cars to take you to dinner time and bathing in the evening. Breakfast and dinner are kaiseki cuisine, with many varieties, which is worth experiencing. I wrote so much mainly because I asked Ctrip before. The so-called AI knows nothing about anything. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
GGuest UserVery satisfied with the all-female youth travel, the boss is very gentle and can communicate in English, although the single tatami room is separated from the corridor, it is very quiet at night, the facilities of the whole youth travel are very warm and beautiful
GGuest UserExcellent service by the staffs! Very warm and welcoming. It was raining heavily that day, but one of the staff helped to wipe down our luggage when it wasn't necessary and helped to bring it up to the room as we were too early for check-in. When we came back, the luggages were near a heater for quick drying... just a neat detail that we very much appreciated.
The dinner and breakfast were one of our most delicious and memorable meals in Japan. Words are not enough to describe it!
The outdoor hot spring doesn't have much a view, but it was still nice! Hope I am able to come back and enjoy the ryokan experience again!
