Classic Japanese ryokan experience. Most outstanding Japanese breakfast ever!!! Succulent mackerel. Heavenly rice. And the most delicious homemade miso soup with fresh mushrooms and daikon. Perfect way to start a vacation on our first day.

Nice home feeling with friendly host and staff. Very helpful. Breakfast included is very good. Only few minutes walk to misotenjin-mae tram stop. Hidden coin laundry around the corner. Hotel is highly recommended for budget travellers.

Simple and good. Room was clean. Location is decent. Some considerations: You’d have to carry your luggage up to the second or third floor. If you are 180cm or taller, the shower would be too small for you. Nothing particularly exceptional but nothing bad either. Good value place.

I had never tried a Japanese style ryokan and sleeping on a futon so I tried it at this establishment. Its not for everyone but I slept okay. The room was clean and had the basics. It's a quiet area within a short walk to buses, trams, and a JR line but is about 20-30 mins from Kumamoto station (if you catch the right train). It just depends on your itinerary if you would like to stay here or not. They do have parking spaces if you are driving. I would also recommend using chari chari bike service if you want to bike close by as there is a parking space right in front of the ryokan.

Overall ok

It was overall a happy stay. Owner of the place was very nice and helpful. The room was very spacious. Breakfast was ok. Parking cost 600 yen, not sure if it’s for each stay or just overnight. We stayed one night only. There were a few small flies flying around the whole night (we weren’t able to catch them before falling sleep). Walkable distance to the tram station. Quite a few restaurants around the place. We stayed on the ground floor. The bathroom wall could be cleaner as the wall is full of black moulds all the way from the sink up to the ceiling, and overall the ceiling. Kids and I found that quite disgusting. The bathtub sealant was full of mould too. These could be fixed easily I’m sure.

Great time, good Ryokan like experience on the go

Stayed one night in Kumamoto to visit a couple of sights and wanted to have a feel of a Tamari style room since it was the first time for me in Japan. Host was very welcoming and easy to talk too. Had a great time, loved the breakfast. Emphasis though on the Ryokan "like" of the title. I can't say it's an actual Ryokan, as I'm imagining the full Ryokan experience. I went for the Tamari experience + Breakfast.

4/10 Poor

We were very excited about this place. Unfortunately, we could not get a hold of staff and waited almost an hour to check in, despite writing in advance. I do believe however, that this has to do with the owner cutting off his partnership with Hotels.com, after we booked the travel. Hotels.com was not of much assistance in this endeavor.

スタッフの方がとても親切にしてくださいました。 小さな子連れの場合は希望すれば水筒に麦茶を入れてくれます。よく晴れた暑い日だったので麦茶があってとても助かりました旅館にはエレベーターはありませんので重い荷物や小さな子連れの方は階段移動を覚悟してください。 3階の階段付近に共用の冷蔵庫と電子レンジがあります。 部屋はとても清潔にされていますが、水周りは年季が入っている感じがあります。 ユニットバスは1人で入るにも狭い部類です。子供と一緒に入るのはとても狭かったので、子連れの人こそ通常タイプの部屋ではなく大きなお風呂がある部屋をオススメします。 朝食付きのプランにしましたが、子供には魚を皮も骨も取ってある状態で提供してくれました。ふっくら柔らかく油ののった美味しい秋刀魚でした。 ご飯、お味噌汁、卵焼き、切り干し大根、とても美味しかったです。ご馳走様でした。

Il y avait très peu de restaurants intéressants à distance à pied de cet hébergement. Il m’a fallu prendre le tramway et me rendre au centre ville (15-20 min) pour le repas du soir. C’est vraiment le seul inconvénient!
