Kumamoto Terrsa

quite good, especially if you ...

Reviewed By 福岡Ek

The hotel is located in the neighborhood of the Kumamoto Prefecture Office. It is convenient if you have business with the office or somewhere close. A touristic spot, Sizenji Park, is also close. On the other hand, it is a bit far from the downtown Kumamoto and JR Kumamoto station. From the JR Kumamoto station, you need to take a tram for 30 minutes and to walk for 10 minutes. The hotel itself is very good, much better than a typical Japanese “business” hotel: a room is maintained very well and a bottled water is provided for free of charge. A fitness room is also available for free, but it closes rather early. The internet access is only by the LAN cable.

Luna Observatory & Auberge Atorie in Forest

Very nice visit, but no stars due to weather

Reviewed By jessicapui

Our group of 3 were the only ones staying that night We had the evening tour with the resident Astronomist, who was very nice, very good at english, and his enthusiasm showed in his tour. The tour ward completely in english, i guess it was because all 3 of us are foreigners. The onsen ( stone hot spring) was nice but quite small, maximum 2-3 people at a time, and requires booking if there were more guests. But since it was just us 3 we could use it freely Unfortunately it was super cloudy on the night we visited, and so we were able to see much with the telescope. However the resident astronomist showed us a lot of interesting things in the planetarium and the amazing photos that he took of the night sky Food is pretty good. Staff were really helpful arranging for our transport ( we didnt drive)

Lovely quaint place

Reviewed By tripsplit

We had a great time here. The owner was very friendly and we really appreciated his recommendations for the area. Also the shower includes a beautiful bath area :))) highly recommend. It’s not the most spacious accommodation but it’s worth it...

暖かさを感じます

Reviewed By masamio20

南阿蘇で宿泊する際は、またお伺いしよう、そう思えるペンションでした。建物は少々年月がたっていますが、とても大切に使われてきた、そう感じられる場所です。例えるならば、大好きなおばあちゃんの家にきたような、そんな感じでしょうか。寒さを心配していましたが、部屋はとても暖かく、心配無用でした。 オーナーご夫妻の暖かさ、そして、美味しいものに目がない私たち家族も満足するレベルの高いお料理、どれをとっても満足のお宿でした。

Pension Kaze No Oka Nobara

Collapsed in April 18, 2016 eathquake.

Reviewed By Onsenzen x

Owners and family escaped unharmed. The home & business survived the first earthquake, however it collapsed in the second, much larger earthquake. We are so sad. We visited this beautiful place in 1997. Our daughter is friends of the family, so we have heard directly from them. ご心配をおかけしております。 家族みんな怪我も無く無事です。 現在は隣町の高森町の友人ペンションにお世話になっています。衣食住に全く不自由無く元気です! 凄まじい揺れで残念ながらペンションは倒壊してしまいましたが、家族みんな奇跡的に助かり、何よりも子供たちが生きててくれて本当によかった。 たくさんの温かいご心配のメッセージ、本当にありがとうございます。読む度に目頭が熱くなります。電波状態が悪くて全てに返信できなくて本当にごめんなさい。 これくらいではへこたれませんので、どうか安心してください。大丈夫ですよ! 今後の事は未定ですが、また皆さんお会いできる日が必ず来ると信じています。 温かいメッセージ、本当にどうもありがとうございました。 また近況をご報告します。 くれぐれも余震には十分に気を付けてください。

3年ぶり2回目

Reviewed By bokutoissyo1224

ここで頂いたフレンチの味が忘れられず2回目の訪問をしました。 相変わらずとてもおいしかった。料理もとても綺麗。 ここでしか食べられないのがもったいないくらい! 前回はログハウス、今回は館内に泊まりましたがどちらも清潔で快適です。 お風呂も空いていてゆっくり入れました。 今回は天候が悪く、せっかくの阿蘇も霧に覆われて何も見えませんでした。 しかしまたリベンジする楽しみができました! 此度の震災で大変な思いをされていると思います。 わたしも東日本大震災を経験し熊本の皆様がどれほど心を痛められているか、心中お察しいたします。 しかし、必ず復興すると信じています。 1日でも早くあの美しい阿蘇が戻って来ますよう、微力ながら応援させていただきます。 そしてその暁にはまたこちらで美味しいご飯を頂きたいです。頑張れ!!くまもと!

Friendly owners and service - varied food

Reviewed By Patangbaz

We stayed here as a group for 2 nights while visiting the Aso caldera and hiking up Taka-dake and Naka-dake, We were welcome very kindly and explained the facilities. Rooms were small but friendly; we even had a spacious balcony which allowed us to sit in the evening to watch the sun set across the valley. Dinner as well breakfast was very tasty, varied and plenty. And the pension owns two very nice onsens which we enjoyed as a couple every evening after dinner. We only can recommend the facility.

Jikuuya

Excellent meals!!

Reviewed By 164.sugarman

Having stayed at more than 100 different hotels/ryokans in Oita/Kumamoto areas for the past 10 years, we rank this place among the very best when it comes to dinner and breakfast. Some foreign guests would stay here for beds only and go to downtown to eat, which is a real shame. The dishes offered here may not be typically Japanese, but apparently of the gem quality and should not be missed by all means. Another point to be emphasized is the quality of bath water. It is clear and exceptionally mild with a noticeable amount of soda contents, much better than that of Hakusui-Onsen Ruri, which smells of a dash of chlorine as antiseptic for the circulated water. Being freshly pumped up from 150 meters below the ground, this is obviously of the good "onsen" or natural spa quality. But the owners are not allowed to call it "onsen" simply because it has no authorized certificate, which would cost them some hundred thousand yen extra! After all, we can assure you will have 3 exceptional experiences here: food, natural hot bath, and hospitality of the owners, all of the superb level.

Hotel AZ Kumamoto Ashikita

Quaint, tradiional, family run onsen hotel.

Reviewed By damookie

If you want to experience a traditional onsen hotel, this is the place for you. I had one of the more expensive rooms which had a separate seating area and bathroom facility. The majority of the rooms have shared bathroom facilities. Stayed here only one night. The Japanese breakfast was remarkable. The best part of my short stay was the family that ran the hotel. Three people or possibly two family members ran the hotel during my stay. Their hospitality is what truly made my stay a memorable one.
