4-Star hotele w: Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan

We were only here for one night but the location is perfect as it’s right at Kumamoto Station, so it couldn't be easier to get to, and having the Amu Plaza mall right there for shopping and food was so convenient. Being on the higher floors, the views of the city are amazing. The rooms feel very modern and spacious, but the free onsen (public bath) was the best part. It was definitely a great way to relax at the end of the day. It was handy having convenience stores, restaurants and a mall just a few steps away.

I had a great stay at this Kurokawa Onsen ryokan. The staff are very warm and hospitable and they have English speaking staff. I liked that this ryokan has 9 different options for a private onsen that you can choose from. These don’t require a reservation but are on a first come first served basis. The rooms were fine but walls are a bit thin which means you can hear outside noise more easily. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. The kaiseki dinner and breakfast were good. This ryokan is in a good location right at the centre of town. They also have a shuttle service to get you to the bus stop at check out. Overall I would recommend this ryokan.

This hotel is really nice and conveniently located right on top of Sakura Machi mall, so there are plenty of food options and shops for shopping. Right across the street is a pedestrian street, which is great for walking around. It’s not too crowded, so the atmosphere is quite relaxed. There’s also a major bus stop right downstairs, which makes it super convenient—especially if you don’t have a car. If you’re traveling between cities, this is likely a main stop you’ll pass through. For those who drive, you can find parking nearby. The hotel may offer parking discounts at certain locations, but I’m not entirely sure which ones. The hotel itself is beautiful, modern, and smells really nice—feels new and well-maintained. Amenities are quite complete as well. The bed and pillows were just okay, slightly leaning towards the uncomfortable side. However, the bathroom is excellent, with a separate standing shower and a small bathtub. The room I got was also quite cute, with a small sofa area, which was a nice touch.

Great stay! Clean! Love the free amenities which included soup, tea and toiletries. Microwave available too. Only downside is that the carpark is 2000 per night which is expensive. Other option is a 5 mins walk to nearby for 1200 per night for parking 2pm-12pm the next day. Remember to inform the person at the carpark they you want multiple entries to get a multiple entry card!

Wonderful hotel 🏨 ♥️ 👌 We feel it's a real 5 stars hotel; from the excellent service, the rooms and on to the dinning room, and of course the onsen, everything and everyone were just perfect! We got a room facing the garden, forest and mountains and it was just great waking up to these views in the mornings. The experience of food was excellent, both at breakfast and dinner... The staff here go out if their way to make sure you have what you need, and the onsen was the best one I have seen in Japan so far; it has several hot baths, indoor and outdoor, and dry sauna. We were extremely happy we booked this place ahead of time as it was fully booked when we arrived and there wasn't even availability to upgrade, even though it wasn't needed as the room was great already. Thanks for everything 🙏

When I first arrived in Mitsui Garden, the staff already showed me great attitude - letting me use their lounge for free while I needed to wait for my check in time at 3pm. During my stay, all staff showed their professional and nice services. The best part came from my own room - Kumamon standard queen room. Everything was enough - the size, the atmosphere, the decoration, THE CUTE BATHROOM - made me feel like home immediately. Very close to Sakura Machi Kumamoto Shopping centre and Bus station, and Kumamoto Castle, Sakuranobaba Jousaien… all were in walking distance. Very friendly in all the ways possible I should say. 10000000/10 👏

Nice cosy hotel. Very clean and easy to check in. Convenience store just across the road. 5 mins drive to a major shopping mall. Has a small stove to cook and kitchen. But really small and dark though. Otherwise room is very cosy and fits four of us well. Bathroom is clean and nice. Washer in the room too. I can jog to kumamoto castle which is nearby. Great location and great hotel.

Center of Kumamoto city, about 15 minutes away from Kumamoto station via local tram. Very convenient, very close to the shopping street with plenty of food options. Hotel comes with public pools where we can soak and relax . Room is spacious.

my stay at the onset in Hanashoan was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived. we were welcome with warm hospitality that made me feel right at home. The onset itself was modern, new beautifully maintained -peaceful, serene and perfect place to relax and unwind. the traditional atmosphere, combined with the breathtaking natural surroundings, created a truly authentic and unforgettable experience.  the impeccable service provided by the staff. able to converse in English and mandarin. They were attentive, kind, and was ready to help and always assist with a smile. their professionalism and genuine care made this trip incredibly special. I am deeply grateful for their hospitaltiy and would highly recommend this onset to anyone seeking a relaxing and culturally rich getaway.
