Toyoko Inn Kumamoto Ekimae

I've stayed at several Toyoko Inn hotels, and as always, I'm thoroughly satisfied. This particular location is excellent, right next to Kumamoto Station. The room was clean and comfortable, and the service was warm and attentive. The breakfast was also quite good.

Right out of the East Exit of the station, turn right and it's just a few minutes' walk. The bus stop is also at the East Exit, surrounded by malls and restaurants, making it super convenient. The front desk staff were warm and polite, and even helped me call to resolve an issue I had at their Miyazaki branch. The room was relatively spacious, and there's free coffee and tea in the lobby. Breakfast was also good. While other branches only start breakfast at 6:30 AM, here you can grab coffee and pastries from 6:00 AM, which is really convenient for travelers catching early trains. Toyoko Inn is always my first choice in Japan – great location, excellent service, good breakfast, and affordable prices. I'll definitely choose Toyoko Inn again in the future.

Very convenient location close to the train station, and it's just a short walk to the A-line tram which takes you directly into the city center! The breakfast caters well to Chinese palates, definitely recommended! Hopefully, they can add some Chinese translations in the future!

This hotel is super close to Kumamoto Station, just a three-minute walk. The room was really clean and had that typical Japanese style. I loved that I could take breakfast back to my room. And they even provided lotion, emulsion, and facial cleanser, which was a nice surprise! Toyoko Inn definitely offers great value for money!

Just a 3-minute walk from Kumamoto Station, this is definitely the right choice if most of your itinerary involves JR travel. The facilities are basic, but thankfully it's clean and functional enough. Plus, a rare bonus is the free breakfast.
