Hostels in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan

There are private rooms and dormitories. The kitchen and bathroom are all very clean, so if you're feeling a bit overwhelmed by ryokans, I highly recommend this place. I had a wonderful, relaxing time, boss. The horse meat was truly amazing! ㅜㅠ! Next time, I'll bring a friend, and I'll treat you to some delicious Korean food. Definitely!! Stay healthy! It was so much fun.

I have been staying in very special places in Japan: beautiful locations with lots of care and details but this one is my favorite so far! Yoshi and Myong made me feel super welcomed, comfy and happy in their guesthouse. I arrived with a BIG LUGAGGE which was right away taken up by Yoshi (thank you so much!!!) and when I left he reminded me I could ask for his help if I needed (which I did). I like to ”judge” a place by the comfiness of their sofas, and Aso Base delivered superb excellency! So many cozy corners, there's not even one futon that is not hyper soft! The bathrooms have some themes on the wall, one is the cat theme, another one jellyfish and the other is lizards, so I had fun time choosing what theme I would go to. The shower capsules have shampoo conditioner and soap and then an area to dry your hair with a great view! There's details that are just piece of art! A small corner with a table, cd player and CDs that are awesome- Japanese, international and relax music and audiobooks! I've searched many of them in Spotify and will keep listening. While you are listening there are some images, like a collage, and it's so well thought. Every image has a doll representing it live action as well, like dreams coming true. The kitchen is reeeeaallly equipped, drinking water at the tap and has lots of seasonings and teapots 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 There's extra blankets and pillows and some of the pillows are animal shaped 😺🐶🐷🐑 so during my four nights there I slept in the company of Mr Snuggles, a grey cat that smiled with his eyes closed - there was pinky pig and hairy sheep too! in the female dorm every bed has a blue sky wallpaper like in Toy Story!!!! 🥹 I was a bit worried because the comments say there's lots of rules and that they are strict and don't open the door for people in the rain. But the thing is: there are some rules, because they are two people (+ another lady who helps with cleaning) taking care of a big house. It needs some organization and routines. They provide storage and the area has great options to enjoy while waiting - if necessary. Is a small town, many great restaurants around - the shop right next to the station that sells local products is a must trying repeatedly, the best onsen in the region is 3 minutes away, a Lawson across the street. I greatly enjoyed my time in Aso and everyday was glad to be going back to Aso Base. It is a place to come with a light and warm heart and soul ( they will certainly retribute), where you can have great conversations, play games or read a book, cozily nested and drinking tea while the fireplace and many lighting create a whole vibe. I've booked 4 nights and wish they were 8! Kamsahamnida and Domo Arigato, Myong and Yoshi!!!

Although it's far from Kumamoto Station, it's conveniently located within walking distance of the nearest tram station. ❗️ The private room was surprisingly spacious, and I was able to store my luggage there. It looks like I could easily bring a medium-sized carry-on suitcase into the room. The bathroom was clean and easy to use. ❗️There was a large public bath and a small sauna, so I was able to relax. 😌 There was a women-only floor, so I was able to relax there. I recommend this hotel for those who just want a place to sleep at a reasonable price.👍 ̖́-

This is a great place to stay if you want to be in a peaceful and quiet location. It is in the village with not much disturbances. The owner is very helpful and try to answer your questions about bus and train services in the area. You can find some local restaurants nearby using your Google map. The restaurants are close around 3 to 4 pm most days. The closing hours for the restaurants are not accurate. This is a small town; if they don’t have costumers after a certain hours in the evening, they will be closed. Be mindful about that and come prepared with snacks and food!

・全体的には満足していますが、レビューにもある通りメゾネットタイプのため暖房が２階部分のみきいてしまい、１階はとても寒いままでした。エアコンは諦めお部屋に用意いただいていた小さいファンヒーターのみ使っていましたが、エアコンを使うより暖かかったです。（夏はエアコンの効きが悪いとなると扇風機などないと厳しいかもしれません） ・空調より困ったのがシャワーヘッドで、水量などの面であまり使い勝手が良くなかったです。私は滞在途中で少し嫌になってしまったので、近くにある湯らっくすという温泉に行きました。 ・長期滞在だったので不便だったのかもしれませんが、食器（紙皿など）は1日1枚のみの用意となるので3食自炊する方は足らないかもしれません。また、ゴミ箱の袋は替えのものが用意されていなかったので、ずっと同じゴミ袋を使っていました。気になる方は近くに100均があるので別途購入した方が良いかもしれません。

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

It was a wonderful place to wander around and sightsee, as it boasts the largest crowds in Kumamoto and has streets that always feel like a festival. The breakfast was also delicious, so I left feeling full.

It's a bit far from the city center, near Suizenji. The nearby Rocky Mart was great for browsing. There were a lot of things cheaper than at convenience stores. The accommodations were really old-fashioned. It was a smoking room, so there was a strong smell of cigarettes, but considering the price, I was satisfied as a solo traveler. The breakfast was simple, but that's about it. I had a great stay.
