Family-friendly Hotels in Aso

I like golf and like the view from the hotel (outer ring mountain and golf course). I made a reservation at ANA Travelers, but I made a reservation with ”Superb view of Mt. Aso and the Japanese-Western breakfast plan that we are proud of”, and I made a reservation because I thought it was on the Mt. Sorin (golf course) side. I was guided to the room opposite to the golf course. When I checked with the lady at the front desk. ”This plan means eating at a restaurant with a superb view of Mt. Sorin,” he said, and if you want to change the room, please pay the difference of 3,000 yen. Also, it was difficult to understand how to put ANA, so he told ANA. When you check with ANA, please consult directly with the hotel. When I told ANA that it was difficult to understand how to display it, I was contacted, ”I will tell the hotel to improve it.” Rakuten Travel clearly states that when choosing a room, it is ”forest side” and ”outer ring mountain side” in an easy-to-understand manner, but please be careful because it is difficult to understand in ANA. There is no room description in the email after confirmation, and the room photo is not displayed on the reservation confirmation screen. I felt atrophied and spent the room as it was without changing, but there were only about 3 tissues in the room, and when I tried to boil hot water in an electric pot, the inside was full of water droplets. I enjoyed golf, but when I tried to take a shower after the round, a nail came out of the snow and I was about to stick to my legs and I felt atrophied again. I think that will be injured if it does not improve immediately. (For women) I have used it regularly so far, but I will not use it in the future.

Cost-effective, two thousand mosquitoes downstairs is the best choice Public hot springs have a beautiful environment. Although the rooftop hot springs are small, the view of the mountains is good The dinner is good, the breakfast is good, there is free parking lot, there are pharmacies and supermarkets nearby, very convenient

A traditional onsen hotel, recently renovated and facilities modernised. The twin bed room is large - about 50 sq m in size. In addition, there is a balcony overlooking an excellent view. The breakfast and dinner buffet are fine, though not very special. I like the Japanese style dinner better. The hotel is situated inside the mountain. Access is not easy. There are no shops nearby.

It is a very intimate and enthusiastic and thoughtful hotel. Breakfast is super rich and the styles are very diverse, Aso milk must be drunk, super strong and mellow, The yakiniku restaurant is also super delicious. Not a thunder restaurant👍👍👍

We stayed for one night from July 9 (Sat) and stayed with a couple in the Japanese style room ”Nikwa” on the third floor. The purpose of this time was to touch the nature of ASO and to feel the liberation and to soak in a hot spring with good quality of springs. The room was more modern and sophisticated than I thought and more than expected. It was a room that was renewed last year. What I was worried about was that the closet was an old Japanese house, and it smelled mold without lighting, and the mattress on the bed was a little too hard, and the view was not good even on the third floor. The bath was a pure source hanging water, which did not heating, water or circulation, and the hot water temperature was just right, and it was a very good quality hot spring as rumored. However, the size is small and there is no open-air bath. I also used ”taruyu” in the rental bath, but it was well maintained and very comfortable. The meal was ”red beef steak seat”. There were many items and all were very delicious, but I thought that the red beef of the heart was a little fat and the mountain woman fish was quite small. The service was made to be a woman from Nepal, but there were several points that I was worried about, such as vertically distributing rectangular dishes of incense. I think this is a problem of staff training. Overall, it is a very old established inn with a very historical style, and it is well understood that it is carefully maintained, and it is thought that it is a hot spring inn with a taste. I felt that the charm of this inn was exhausted by the word ”good quality hot spring”.

Everything is awesome except for a little bit of position! We took the bus from Kumamoto and crossed the bus from Kyushu. We got off at the entrance of Yoshiji-mura and walked towards the signboard of the whole family. The location was next to the family. The pure Japanese experience is really good! Tatami, yukata, raft, stone bath... I don't know if it's because of the off-season, we almost have a hhh breakfast and it is quite rich, especially for people who like Japanese food (not Japanese). I will stay here when I come to Aso next time. By the way, I hope that Jr can quickly repair it. From the hotel to the jr station, it is still a bit painful hhhh.

A restaurant inn close to ASO Jinja shrine. Service and the cherry blossom room in the building are good. Now it is a small number of people, and the drink order during the meal is painful. It is highly likely that it will arrive at the back entrance from ASO Jinja shrine and bus stop, and in that case, it may take time to notice even if it enters. Although the quality is high overall, there is an impression that there is no writing equipment in the questionnaire, and there is no counter, so the place of check-out is unclear now.

The onsen bathroom was spacious, bigger than some of the private ones we paid at other places. Room was big too. Location was perfect. There is a very very nice dinner place Sakamoto nearby, that serves very exquisite and yummy food with price extremely affordable. A little inconvenience if all 4 shared onsen bathrooms are taken, need to wait for your turn. Note that out of the 4 bathrooms, there are 2 rooms with 2 shower heads, and 2 rooms with only 1 shower head. So if more than 2 pax showering together, avoid going to the one with just 1 shower head.

It's a bit far from the station. It is recommended to choose the one with dinner when booking. The Wagyu buffet is great. The quilt is very thick. The soup has family private soup. Make an appointment to line up. In the morning, a car will be sent to Aso Station.

If you are looking for a true Japanese Ryokan experience, this is the place to be. Everything in this ryokan is not done randomly, even the rooms! All rooms are named after a kind of flower and the owner planted the named flower outside of the room. Moreover if you off the lights at night, the landscape created outside will form a painting-like view when you see from the washi paper windows. The ingredients used during dinner and breakfast are all farm products by the owner itself. He even use his own rice (Koshihikari) and if you would like to support him, you can purchase it at the lobby. After breakfast, the owner prepare coffee at the lobby for the guests to chill. Onsen wise, there is a public onsen and also a private one which you can book for an hour. The onsen is smaller than normal ryokan but it is still enjoyable! The only problem I have during my stay was the smell of smoke as they use wooden fire which spread throughout the ryokan. There is no bathroom in all the guest rooms so you will need to use the public bath.The meals provided was scrumptious and we have trouble finishing it because it was just too much! We really enjoyed our stay there and would definitely go back there if ever we are visiting Aso again!
