Hotels near Minamiaso Visitor Center in Takamori

If the location is not a self-driving tour, you don’t need to consider it. Except for the service quality of the proprietress, the others are very average. The restrooms and bathrooms are shared in the surrounding wilderness and the price is not low.

On April 11, 2022, I had lunch in Kowloon. From there, drive to Sherpa in Kumamoto City to finish your shopping, then drive along Prefectural Route 36. Climb the outer rim of Mt. Aso. Arrive at the observatory (Mt. Omine and Takayubaru plateau). You can overlook the city of Kumamoto from here. This observatory is called ``Mt. Arrive at Hotel Greenpia Minami Aso where you will stay on this day. The parking lot is very large. Hotel Greenpia Minamiaso is a hotel located in Hisaishi, Minamiaso Village, Aso County, Kumamoto Prefecture. A bronze statue stood at the entrance. The inside of the building looks like this. The lobby is large. On this day, I was in a room on the 3rd floor and moved by elevator. After getting off the elevator, it's too far to the room (sweat;) Large hotels don't like this. far. It's a promised ”grandmother who can't open the key” twin room, and an extra bed is also installed. The scenery from the window is like this. Of all the rooms we stayed in, it has one of the best views (bitter smile) refrigerator. TV and kettle. Safe in the closet. Wash basin. The toilet has a warm water seat. I probably won't use it because I'm going to the public bath, but there is also a bathtub. It is troublesome that wifi has to register an e-mail address with ”Kumamoto free wifi”. I was able to connect at 35 Mbps here within the Rakuten Mobile range. The best bath is the open-air bath where you can enjoy this view. The quality of the spring was colorless and transparent, and it did not look like a hot spring. Dinner is at the restaurant. There was a lot more than I thought in the Viking format. However, since it was the cheapest course, it became a ”buffet without a main dish” (sweat;) Tsure was mainly curry rice. The dessert made me hungry (laughs). The next morning, there was already a line at the breakfast venue. Breakfast is also buffet style. My grandmother is even more voluminous than I am (laughs), and the second time is Western food (laughs). Overnight at Hotel Greenpia Minami Aso. I could see the volcanic smoke of Mt. Nakadake from my room. It's 6:00, so I head to the dinner hall. On this day, I tried curry rice as the main dish. Grandmother made soba the main dish. The next morning we checked out and drove on.

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.

We are so happy we booked this hotel for heading to Mt Aso. First, the staff greeting was super warm and welcoming. The hotel is brand new and while our room was a great and functional design, the bed was the most comfortable western-style bed we’ve had in all of Japan! It’s location is super convenient if you arrive by train (it’s across the street) and while they don’t really have dining facilities, there is a fun outdoor market right outside where we grabbed dinner: meat skewers, mustard greens biscuit and a delicious craft beer (there is also ramen and a few other food choices).

One poo and two food, the room is quite large and clean, and the dining is good. The same high level of service as all spa hotels in Japan. The soup that comes with the hotel is very good, and the whole of Heikawa is iron-containing. The outdoor style is quite large, and the private soup for the guests is also very good. You can buy a hand at the front desk, and you can still choose 3 of the 25 hot springs in Kurokawa. The location is the town center, a few steps away is the popular puff shop.

Located in Aso, El Patio Ranch is in a national park, within a 15-minute drive of Ubuyama Farm and Road Station Namino Kaguraen. This guesthouse is 17.9 mi (28.9 km) from Mount Aso and 5.4 mi (8.8 km) from Aso Kuju National Park.This guesthouse features designated smoking areas and horse riding on site.The front desk is staffed during limited hours. Free self parking is available onsite.Make yourself at home in one of the 6 air-conditioned rooms featuring refrigerators. Complimentary wireless Internet access is available to keep you connected.

Service was impeccable. This is a traditional Japanese style hotel (Ryokan), and we stayed in a separate house with private onsen bath room, living room and bedroom, as well as a small terrace. The room was excellent. Meals were sent to your room by friendly staff. Food was fantastic.

As Takachiho Gorge is comparatively hard to get to we felt much better staying in Takachiho for a night. And it's great to find a modern hotel in Takachiho, the front desk was nice and helpful, note that it is such a small town and dining options are not a lot so I would recommend have dinner and breakfast at the hotel. Hotel has a large parking lot and breakfast is great (a bit wait in the morning during peak time)

We will not be defeated by the Kumamoto Earthquake and COVID-19! National Route 57 and the Aso-Ohashi Bridge are now open!
