Mitsui Garden Hotel Kumamoto Our room was on the 8th floor. Buffet Breakfast was included and was very good with lots of choices. Very small room with double bed. Had sheet and doona, and the mattress was comfortable. Had a room safe and multi recharge ports. There was no room for luggage or moving about the room. Had one chair. Had hanging space but no cupboard. Small bathroom with deep bath and shower in the bath. No free water bottles. It had a fridge, coffee and tea making facilities. Has a window that looks out to other distant hotel rooms and you can see the road in a gap between buildings. We found the hotel easily by using a tram from the station. The hotel is a 25 min walk along the river from the station if you wish to walk. There is shopping and restaurants nearby but at the station there is a great food court with many restaurants to try. The castle is under repair so we used Kumamoto as a base to visit Nagasaki and Aso volcano. The ramen restaurant in Aso was the best we

This was one of the best hotels I've booked through Agoda! An excellent location in the city center meant we could easily walk to the main attractions, numerous shopping arcades & department stores. I used to live in this city (before this hotel was built) & believe Dormy Inn is an excellent choice for location. The rooms are small on western standards, but quite usual for Japan & extremely clean. There was a private shower & electronic toilet with bidet in the room, but the main attraction is the hot mineral spring baths (indoor & outdoor) on the roof top - a great place to soak & relax after a busy day of sightseeing & shopping. We really looked forward to long soak every evening. The breakfast buffet is absolutely fantastic! You can try traditional Japanese foods & Kumamoto local specialities, as well as the usual western breakfast items. We ate breakfast here 3 days - they had a standard 20 items, & about another 10-15 items which changed each day. Many people have already mentioned the free ramen (noodles in soup) between 9:30~11pm. Another treat to enjoy in the evening. I really recommend this hotel as the best place to stay in Kumamoto!

Located next door to the Kumamoto train station with immediate access to buses & the tram system as well. The station itself is great: restaurants, shops, convenience stores, information desk, etc. Room size was refreshingly larger than others I had stayed in within Japan & is more akin to standard hotel rooms. Eco-cleaning option is available (elect not to have your linens changed every day, which I was happy to select). Despite the construction going on at the station, I didn’t hear noises when I was in my room. If you’re up for a 20 minute hike, I recommend checking out Hanaokayama. You can see the peace pagoda from the hotel. I will definitely stay here again if I’m ever in Kumamoto again. It’s a good place to base yourself if you want to explore Kyushu

This hotel a great value, and centrally located in downtown Kumamoto. If you are a JR traveler it is about a half hour walk from JR Kumamoto station. Trams are easy and cheap (170 Yen), but sometimes crowded. The beds are comfortable, the rooms are clean and relatively spacious, the extra charge breakfast buffet is very good. Staff is professional and courteous, but very little English spoken.

My stay was short but generally the experience in staying at Nikko Kumamoto Hotel is good. There's restaurants behind the hotels for your dinner and shopping malls in front of the hotel. The tram stop is also nearby (maybe 60 to 80 steps away? ) you can get on the tram with flat yen 170. (You can hop on the tram just outside from kumamoto JR station) Kumamoto castle is only a tram stop away you can even walk there and kumamon office a stone away. Staffs here are very helpful - they helped me to understand the website on a hot spring resort which i wanted to go and getting a taxi from the hotel lobby is easy - at least during my stay no waiting time.

Its our first time booking a room with a private onset at Ota Onsen Hanagokoro. "Room" is an understated description, its actually a big cozy log cabin with two standard beds (big enough for 2), a separate tatami sitting area, separate baths (with onsen) & toilet. The onset bath water is very hot so we have to mixed it with cold tap water to use it. They also provide a coffee grinder and fresh coffee beans for guest. Perfect stay, lovely owners. Not much spoken English, but are extremely hospitable, so do use your "google translate" to communicate. Highly recommended stay. We also experienced -2 degrees celsius temperature during our stay (Dec 5 - 7), and woke up to a lovely morning view of light snow/frost everywhere. Our rental car is also covered in ice/frost in the morning, and so are the roof and grass and road and plants. The location is easily reached coz we followed the GPS mapcode closely.

very friendly staff and since it's hard to get to the town by public transportation, they picked us at the station and i'm so moved. Beautiful scene at the front of the hotel and restaurant is quite Japanese. The cherry blossom park is around 3 km, with beautiful country scenery around. Public limousine bus to Kumamoto is quite convenient. Definitely a good choice if you want to experience the area

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights in a room with a private bath (Hisakaki). Everything was excellent - top-notch service, meals, rooms, baths, free shuttle service! I was impressed even before arriving at the ryokan - left a note via Agoda about my arrival, and received a reply 2 days later. When we reached the Kurokawa bus stop on the day of our arrival, a staff was already waiting to transport us to Ryokan Sanga. Check-in was seamless and we were given a necessary briefing on the facilities and amenities. Then came the meals... 9-course dinner took us almost 2 hours to complete and it was really amazing! Breakfast was huge and very good. Got to try the outdoor bath for ladies and private outdoor bath (reserve at check-in). The views were amazing, there were adequate amenities, and it was just so relaxing. Yukata is provided, and you can basically go about everywhere in it. Highly recommended! Just book early as there are limited rooms with private baths.

It's a bit far from station. Even the tram cannot reach there. The water tap is surprisingly old-fashioned. I hope the hotel can replace them. Staff are nice and helpful. Service is really good. Even when we did not require cleaning service, the staff gave us a bag of new towels and pillow cases etc which was real considerate. Near Kumamoto Castle and Natsume Soseki old home but it was under construction.

It was a 30 minute walk from JR Kumamoto Station, though you could take a streetcar directly there. No restaurants nearby, so had to walk 15 mins to city centre, and still not much around. Didn't try free inside onset, but seemed popular. Room was a bit small, but clean and great WIFI. Free buffet Japanese breakfast was a surprise and very tasty with wide selection. Best way to start the day!

We loved everything we saw at the ryokan from the friendliness of the staff to the facility, it's top-notch. All the onsens were well maintained with enough descriptions for English speakers to figure out what to do. Perhaps the best part of it was the meals. We were blown away by the 14-course kaiseki dinner included with the stay. This aone would've costed around $100 elsewhere. It was a good sampling of traditional Japanese cuisine made with the utmost attention to details. The only complaint I had was that they couldn't take my Visa credit card which used up a good portion of our cash reserve.

This place would be great travellers with just a backpack (like me), because the space in the room is not big enough for a check-in luggage, which was what my friends brought. Still, we just used the accommodation as a place to rest and recharge for the next day, so it was still manageable. Do note that there are no doors to the 'rooms', only a curtain with a velcro strip. So please store all your valuables in the lockers provided. My friends and I were very impressed with the cleanliness of all the spaces. It seems like a newly renovated hotel! The toilet and bathroom areas were pristine, and there was free Shiseido soap, shampoo and conditioner to use. I loved the clean tap water of Kumamoto, which made my skin and hair shine and feel soft. I learnt that the tap water from Kumamoto city comes from Aso Volcano! I also have to commend on how the staff goes above and beyond their line of service to help me. Thank you so much!

Kumamoto is an interesting city in Kyushu. It is an old city, with excellent historical, cultural and educational facilities. The location of the hotel was directly across from the famous Kumamoto Castle, very close to the two light train tracks that criss cross the city. The staff were pleasant and well mannered, as would be expected in Japan, and also very helpful and informative. The room with a double bed was small, but very clean. Internet connection was free, but not especially efficient or fast. The staff at the check-in counter were well spoken in English. I would recommend the hotel most strongly, and would definitely be happy to stay there again on my next visit to Kumamoto.

great location if you are travelling by bus -- the hotel is located just opposite to the bus terminal, and there is tram station right in front of the hotel. Kumamoto Castle is just about 7minutes walk. It is situated right next to the shopping arcades. Like other Tokyu Hotels, room size is satisfactory and Pola products are offered. Price is reasonable, even it may be a little bit higher than other hotels in Kumamoto.

It was a great little hotel handy for the Sanrigi train station (To airport and Kumamoto and the Aso coach stop). Walking distance to Kumamoto Stadium for the rugby match. (Or othr sports activities in that complex). The rooftop Onsen has great views and was great, just having one means that a couple cannot bathe at the same time. (Even though you rarely share, having to co-ordinate to fit into the male or female slots means being a bit more organised.) Freindly staff who were helpful with all our needs. mny Thanks

Perfect location where hotel directly on Shimotori shopping arcade. Walking distance to Kumamon Square, Kumamoto castle... Hotel is modern, clean, beautiful However there is a small problem as we’re driving. We couldn’t find the hotel location as the gps kept leading us to shopping arcade. Hotel parkings are a short walk from hotel, which is ok, but a little problem when we have young children n old senior couple.

Book this hotel as base for my Southern Kyushu Trip with my parents. Very short walking distance and convenient from Kumamoto Station to this hotel. The hotel accept storage luggage. Women traveller will Received welcoming gift beauty kit during check in. During breakfast, I did show my Muslim dietary card , and the kitchen staff was so helpful to show what I can eat. And they are cheerful and friendly too! Breakfast start at 0630am - 0930am. There’s a 3type of bread comes with butter & strawberry jam. Everyday is Japanese food mostly rice and side dish like vegetable , chicken or beef (We not eat chicken and beef ). A lot of variety vegetable and it’s healthy way to start our day for traveling. I love the miso soup, it’s perfectly delicious 🤤! The room is kind of big, luggage can be store below bed. My room is at upper floor and have a city view as per request. They clean the room every day. The robe, razor, comb & toothbrush at the lobby freely to take . Free drink water cooler at the lobby. Coin laundry and drink vending machine also available. Overall, I had have perfect stay and best experience in Toyoko Inn Kumamoto Ekimae ! Thank you !

Location: The hotel was not big. Many restaurants around and a supermarket nearby the hotel. The room: clean and tidy although it was a bit old. The traditional Japan pillow in the room is unexpected good that made me sleep well. Staff services: There was a young gentleman who wears glasses in the front desk and helped us to make reservation in the restaurant. We are very appreciated to his kind offer by giving recommendations of many restaurants. We enjoyed our stay in this hotel.

In my case, the hotel room (Queen bed, non-smoking) I occupied for 2 days was pretty comfortable despite being in fringe city: modern furnishings, good size television, memory foam bed (I think), full Toto bathroom equipment (though the showerhead was pretty weak), and spacious. I didn’t use the onsite onsen (not sure if it is a natural or artificial onsen) or the laundry facilities (there’s an off site laundromat just a 5 minutes walk a ways); but judging from the frequent occupation of the onsen, I guess it’s good. Breakfast was good; it really does feel there is a sincere effort in deciding the daily Japanese/continental breakfast buffet menu. The surround area is also great; local eateries are easily accessed, and there’s an Aeon near for stocking up; my only qualm is that it is located behind a funeral parlour. For the times when Kumamoto was too expensive, and if travel is for somewhere closer to elsewhere, e.g., Aso or Kurokawa, Candeo Hotel Ozu looks and feels good.

The service was great when I stayed there for a night at Kumamoto. The rooms are great, much bigger than what I have imagined. I find it super convenient. You are not loving in the busiest part of town so there was no horrible traffic and you are half way between Kumamoto Station and the center of the city. It's easy to get around to places via both public transit or on foot.

From the time we stepped out our car, we feel the excellent service of the hotel. Staff is all very helpful and polite. They showed us our rooms and facilities of the hotel. They proactively introduced places that we might visit. Food is good & we love the BBQ wagyu so much. The hotel offers raw horse meat as side dish which is good to try. Overall, it's a beautiful hotel with nice mountain view. Everything is so neat & clean. It's onsen is good too.

The beef in that 10 course dinner is insanely delicious. That star watching section actually has a freaking huge telescope that i wonder if the owner uses his whole life saving to buy that, they have an expert explaining the astronomy in Japanese (only), and I saw shooting star! The staffs are awesome, I have this malfunction credit card, but they can actually make it work. U can also book a massage section. I got a facial massage at 5000 yen only. That lady was like crafting on my face with extreme seriousness and professionalism. They have 7 onsen baths, 3 of them are private baths and no advanced booking is required.
