Hotele Hot Springs 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.

Location is very convenient, mall, parks, bus interchange just opposite, hot spring also nice, hotel even provide free drink & ice cream outside of the hot spring resting area, also the free ramen during 930pm-11pm.

This Japanese onsen hotel met all my expectations. Every day after coming back, I could enjoy a hot spring bath. Inside, there's one hot and one cold bath, plus a sauna. Outside, there's an open-air hot spring. After bathing, you can choose from four types of ice cream and read Japanese manga for free. You can also pay for a massage. For the late-night snack from 9:30 PM to 11:00 PM, they offer matcha and hot chocolate, along with a vegetarian ramen that comes with a quarter-egg. Overall, I looked forward to returning to the hotel every day after my excursions. I'll definitely stay here again next time.

Bardzo, bardzo zadowolony~ Pokój cichy był o wiele przyjemniejszy niż pokój z milczącym głosem. Chociaż zarezerwowaliśmy łóżko pojedyncze, hotel dał nam łóżko podwójne. Bardzo dziękuję. Personel recepcji był bardzo przyjazny, uprzejmy i miły. Drink powitalny był pyszny, a kąpiel w gorącej wodzie była bardzo komfortowa. Ogólnie rzecz biorąc, byłem bardzo zadowolony.

Retains its old and rustic charm in spite of the clean and comfortable interiors. Room was really spacious, onsen (especially the outdoor one) was very nice. Portion of kaiseiki breakfast and dinner portions were honestly a bit too much for us, and some of the sashimi was rather chewy. But overall still a nice experience!

Lokalizacja - naprzeciwko stacji Kumamoto. Nie może być w pobliżu centrum miasta, jest łatwy dla podróżnika, który nosi duży bagaż. Czystość - jest naprawdę czysta Udogodnienia - można nawet wybrać swój typ poduszki w stole. Używa locka hasła zamiast karty. Naprawdę podoba mi się ten pomysł, ponieważ myśl o utracie karty jest dość straszna. Onsen dla kobiet jest naprawdę dobry. Jest wystarczająco duży, aby pasować do 4-5 ludzi i jest otwarty w nocy. Pozwala gościom wybrać swój czas. Śniadanie - to naprawdę miłe i zdrowe (zobacz na obrazie). Oferuje również wieczorny napoj, który obejmuje alkohol.

위치 자체는 차가 아니면 사실상 가기 어려움. 주차는 숙소 전용으로 있어서 편함. 숙소 주변 분위기 매우 흡족. 다만, 료칸에서 수건부터 유카타까지 모두 대여 필요. 조식은 조촐함. 근처에 무료로 유황지옥찜 이용할 수 있는 곳 있어서, 숙소에서 계란만 구매해서 해먹을 수 있음! (계란 50엔) 다른 유황작물도 만들고 싶으면 가능! 탕은 1개밖에 안된다고 해서 아쉬웠고, 물도 특별한 느낌은 없었음. 총평..돈 더내고 더 좋은 곳 가시길..

We had a great stay at Kamenoi Hotel Aso Park. We booked a room in the South Building, which was spacious,clean, and had a large, comfortable bed. The hotel provides yukata robes in various colors, which was a lovely touch for guests to enjoy the onsen experience. ♨️ The onsen was large and relaxing — perfect after a day of exploring Aso. 🚗 Parking was very convenient, located right next to the hotel. Just across the parking area, there’s a 24-hour convenience store called Obentou Hirai offering ready-made bentos, hot meals, ramen, and udon — extremely convenient for late-night snacks or quick meals. 🍱 We chose a room-only package without meals, and in the morning, we visited the local souvenir and food center at Aso Station. It had a great selection of local foods and breakfast options, plus plenty of gifts and souvenirs to bring home. Overall, a comfortable stay with everything we needed nearby. Highly recommended if you’re exploring the Aso area!

An absolutely wonderful experience.
The staff at the ryokan were incredibly polite and always ready to help with anything we needed. Upon check-in, we were provided with traditional attire, pajamas, tabi slippers, bath amenities, and a small welcome treat with matcha and coffee. We also asked at the front desk if they could give us a ride to the bus stop after check-out, and they kindly said yes, of course. 
Our room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. At first, we were planning to explore several other local onsens, but after experiencing the ones at the ryokan, we felt completely satisfied. There are separate baths for hotel guests (men’s and women’s), baths open to both guests and visitors (also divided by gender), as well as a private onsen. One of the onsens also has a sauna.
The traditional dinner and breakfast were both impressive—delicious and very generous in portion.
The surrounding grounds are stunning, perfect for peaceful walks. This ryokan is a bit further from the main cluster of inns, but that was exactly what we wanted—to enjoy quiet walking.
At night, our futons were laid out for us, adding to the authentic experience. The only reason I deducted one star is the very bright green light on the ceiling that stays on all night and can’t be turned off or covered. I didn’t have a sleep mask with me, and the ryokan didn’t provide one, so I had a sleepless night. It was quite unpleasant.
That said, I still highly recommend this ryokan—it’s an unforgettable place to stay.

I stayed at this hotel twice. The second time (this booking) we had a room on the older (?) wing and it was almost twice the size of the first one. So for this review I will only share feedback on this “older” room. This room was big and thus good for us as we had 2 large luggage and more space in the room allowed us to open and pack our luggages with ease. The bathroom was large with the large traditional bathtub. Toilet had bidet and etc but lacked heating which made it very cold in the winter. Basin tap was still the old turn types which was not eco friendly as it’s more difficult to shut it off. Location was just opposite the train station which was excellent. But the nearest convenience store is also only at the train station which is about a 5-7mins walk away. Breakfast was curated to suit the Japanese palette more and ends at 9a.m which is really way too early!! We left something behind in the hotel but they managed to send the item back to us at our new hotel (still in Japan) which was highly appreciated. Despite a few minor shortcomings listed above, the pros still outweigh the cons and I’ll definitely be happy to stay here again.
