2-Star Hotels in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan

It is our our first time to visit Kumamoto and I am so satisfied I chose this hotel. The room was so clean and spacious. I love the garden view too. The staffs were so nice and very accommodating.

We are traveling by car. It would be a bit troublesome to go there by ourselves. The hotel is located on a golf course. If you stay here, you must stay and eat two meals. Because there is nothing nearby, you must drive out for about two to thirty minutes. Supermarkets and gourmet food! There is a large parking lot nearby where you can park for free. There is also Qianqiu outside the park. The scenery is good, but the portion for one parking and two meals is too small! Not full enough! So be sure to buy snacks 😆 This is a hot spring hotel, with indoor and outdoor facilities, and the hot spring facilities are also good!

Really lovely place with great service despite our very late reservation. The sauna deserves an extra mention, even by Finnish standards!

The facility was old but clean. All the employees were friendly and comfortable. The food was large, especially the sashimi was fresh and delicious. I was detached for the first time in a long time, but I felt lonely with the feeling of being lively and lonely throughout the hot spring town. I want to use it again.

I went to this hotel because it was recommended by Gunji Yong, the president of the Japanese Hot Spring Research Association, in the book ”Going to Japan to Soak in Hot Springs”. I drove a long way to the hotel and found that it was worth it. 1. The original hotel was damaged in the Kumamoto earthquake and is now rebuilt. The main building we stayed in was built in the style of that year. Many original wooden components were used in it. The new and old are mixed, and the color difference is obvious, but it also has a unique flavor. The key is that because it is new, it does not have the ”old-fashioned” feeling of many Japanese hot spring hotels. 2. The facilities and furniture of the house have been heavily invested and are of high quality. The main lamp in the bedroom is a fishing lamp from FLOS in Italy, the stool in front of the washbasin is a shoemaker stool from WERNER in Denmark, and the butterfly stool on the balcony is a butterfly stool from Tendo Carpentry. The chairs placed in the public areas of the hotel are also masterpieces of masters. Interestingly, they are not out of place in traditional Japanese hotels. 3. As a hot spring lover, of course, I came here for the hot springs. As a hotel with a source of hot springs, the hot springs are fresh and of good quality. The hotel has men's and women's baths, both of which have indoor and outdoor pools. Interestingly, the men's and women's baths are switched in the morning and evening, so that guests can soak in both baths and four pools in one day. The outdoor bath is on the hillside, which is full of unknown small petals. 4. What's more exciting is that the hotel also has mixed bathing, of course, it is a less difficult and easy way to accept. The hotel will issue yukata, and the locker room is also separated for men and women. There are three pools for mixed bathing, one of which is a cold spring, which is quite enjoyable. When taking a mixed bath, the spring is right next to it, with white smoke. 5. The hotel has one night and two meals, and the two meals are also impressive. In addition to the appetizer, main course and dessert for dinner, the main character is venison hot pot. I have never eaten venison. The meat looks very thin, but I didn't expect it to be very tender and there is no peculiar smell. The dipping sauce is only crushed black pepper and chili. The store recommends dipping black pepper, which is really delicious. When it was time to eat, the handsome boy who could speak fluent English directly brought the rice pot over and showed us a piece of binchotan charcoal lying in the rice. We were surprised, and the handsome boy said proudly: Your money deserves it. There was not a drop of oil in the hot pot and the dipping sauce. After eating a meal, I was full but not greasy. 6. Breakfast is also interesting. The flap in the middle of the dining table is opened, which is a long charcoal stove. It is obviously an improved version of the ground stove barbecue. Many breakfast foods can be grilled on it, and there is even a small iron plate for frying eggs. The vegetable and fruit juices for breakfast are all freshly made one by one. The milk and yogurt for breakfast are all produced by Abe Ranch, and they are of the highest quality. For example, the fresh milk is Aso purple cover. 7. There are countless surprises and surprises when staying in this hotel. It rained in the morning, and the wind was strong and the rain was heavy. I went out and picked up an umbrella at the door. I opened it and saw that the double color matching was so beautiful, and it was so strong in the wind. (All hot spring photos are confirmed to be taken by no talent)

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.

Even in Hitoyoshi, a small town with a population of 30,000, Sagara Onsen Priority, located on the outskirts of Hitoyoshi, helps you feel the sensibility of a small Japanese city with your whole body. Friendly host, quiet and clean nature, cost-effective and spacious room, hot springs where you can see the stars at night. If you only want to have fantasy about Japan, I recommend visiting this place. I stayed for 2 nights as a rare Korean, and it feels like locals are visiting by hanging up their regular tickets. However, it is a bit unfortunate that the 24-hour convenience store is 40 minutes walk one way away from the city. You'll have to be thoroughly prepared in advance so that you don't have enough food.

There are plenty of amenities and alcohol free drinks. The location is also very good near the shopping street. Please use it because the price is cheap.
