This inn offered everything I needed: Personable, friendly & attentive staff, comfortable clean room with spacious bathroom & bathtub, comfortable bed, short walk to the trolley, delicious/healthy homemade breakfast.

I had never tried a Japanese style ryokan and sleeping on a futon so I tried it at this establishment. Its not for everyone but I slept okay. The room was clean and had the basics. It's a quiet area within a short walk to buses, trams, and a JR line but is about 20-30 mins from Kumamoto station (if you catch the right train). It just depends on your itinerary if you would like to stay here or not. They do have parking spaces if you are driving. I would also recommend using chari chari bike service if you want to bike close by as there is a parking space right in front of the ryokan.

Classic Japanese ryokan experience. Most outstanding Japanese breakfast ever!!! Succulent mackerel. Heavenly rice. And the most delicious homemade miso soup with fresh mushrooms and daikon. Perfect way to start a vacation on our first day.

You sleep in a futon on a tatami, so expect to get a sore back

とてもいい旅館です。大きくないが設備はほぼ完備で、文句なしです。ご主人さんがとても親切で、朝ご飯はとてもおいしかったです。ある事情でご主人さんに「バイバイ」できないが、ここで「ごちそうさまでした」と「ありがとうございました。」と言いたいです。

娘一人の長期滞在でしたが、旅館のご主人にたいそうご親切にして頂き感謝しています。娘は旅館のファミリー的なよさ、おいしい食事に満足していました。

スタッフの方がとても親切にしてくださいました。 小さな子連れの場合は希望すれば水筒に麦茶を入れてくれます。よく晴れた暑い日だったので麦茶があってとても助かりました旅館にはエレベーターはありませんので重い荷物や小さな子連れの方は階段移動を覚悟してください。 3階の階段付近に共用の冷蔵庫と電子レンジがあります。 部屋はとても清潔にされていますが、水周りは年季が入っている感じがあります。 ユニットバスは1人で入るにも狭い部類です。子供と一緒に入るのはとても狭かったので、子連れの人こそ通常タイプの部屋ではなく大きなお風呂がある部屋をオススメします。 朝食付きのプランにしましたが、子供には魚を皮も骨も取ってある状態で提供してくれました。ふっくら柔らかく油ののった美味しい秋刀魚でした。 ご飯、お味噌汁、卵焼き、切り干し大根、とても美味しかったです。ご馳走様でした。

Home owner was nice and welcoming.

Il y avait très peu de restaurants intéressants à distance à pied de cet hébergement. Il m’a fallu prendre le tramway et me rendre au centre ville (15-20 min) pour le repas du soir. C’est vraiment le seul inconvénient!

不満なところが無い。ご飯も美味しく、部屋・風呂などですごく綺麗で長期滞在してもストレスなく泊まれる所だと思った。 また泊まりたい。

Nice home feeling with friendly host and staff. Very helpful. Breakfast included is very good. Only few minutes walk to misotenjin-mae tram stop. Hidden coin laundry around the corner. Hotel is highly recommended for budget travellers.

Staff were very accommodating. Our room comfortably fit 5 people and luggages easily. They also assisted us with our luggage forwarding.

掃除が行き届いていて清潔でした。 アットホームな雰囲気で、 接客もにこやかに対応して頂きました。 また機会がありましたら伺いたいです。

リズナブルな価格、便利なエリア。 朝食もよかった。

Super expérience

It was overall a happy stay. Owner of the place was very nice and helpful. The room was very spacious. Breakfast was ok. Parking cost 600 yen, not sure if it’s for each stay or just overnight. We stayed one night only. There were a few small flies flying around the whole night (we weren’t able to catch them before falling sleep). Walkable distance to the tram station. Quite a few restaurants around the place. We stayed on the ground floor. The bathroom wall could be cleaner as the wall is full of black moulds all the way from the sink up to the ceiling, and overall the ceiling. Kids and I found that quite disgusting. The bathtub sealant was full of mould too. These could be fixed easily I’m sure.

Bel hébergement. Les hôtes nous ont bien acceuilli.

료칸은 아니구요 다다미가 깔린 방이 있는 일반 주택을 활용한 Guest House느낌의 시설입니다. 주인분은 아주 친절하시구요. 그냥 잠만 자고 오시는 것으로 생각하시면 됩니다.

お風呂のお湯の温度をもう少し高くしてほしいです。

Simple and good. Room was clean. Location is decent. Some considerations: You’d have to carry your luggage up to the second or third floor. If you are 180cm or taller, the shower would be too small for you. Nothing particularly exceptional but nothing bad either. Good value place.
