A very quiet place, clean but not old. The hot springs are also very new, clean and comfortable. The overall feeling is very good.

I stayed here with my family of 5 more than 30 years ago, and stayed here with my current husband 5-6 years ago!I heard that the owner is different from the previous one, but the room was simple and clean.The food is very delicious and is it worth the price? That's what I thought (5-6 years ago)Next time, I would like to bring my two children and stay in a room with a loft as a family 🌷

A pension located in a corner of the pension district that has reached its age.The innkeeper also easily provided the necessary explanations,After that, there wasn't much interference.Although the rooms cannot be described as new, it seems that the facilities are kept clean and used.The air purifier was Airdog and the air conditioner was the latest equipment.There are about three ponies kept outside the room, and looking at them from the window makes me feel warm.Since I stayed overnight without meals, I don't know the details of the meals, etc., so I will omit them.I have no complaints as I was able to stay at a very reasonable price.If the conditions allow, such as not having a separate toilet or bath in the room and minimal amenities, you can stay there cheaply.

I haven't stayed at Pension Bellbird yet, but I became friends with the owner while I was hospitalized.He is a very kind person!There was no shop, so I talked to the owner at the rest area for about an hour, laughing and laughing about small talk such as not having enough tissues, how hard it is without the owner!, and the fact that my toothbrush doesn't fit. I went back to my room, but that night, the owner of the wheelchair came all the way to the four-person room with tissues and an easy-to-use toothbrush!The origin of the name Pension "Bellbird" is that the cries of the wild birds around the pension sounded like bells, so we named it Pension "Bellbird"! said the owner, HAYKAWA.When I searched on Google Maps, I found a lot of comments saying that pet dogs can stay with them, and that the owners were very kind and it was fun.The rating was 4 or above, and the room and bathroom are clearly shown on Google Street View with arrows, so be sure to check it out once you're discharged from the hospital! I'm thinking of staying at "Bellbird" in Aso Pension Village.

The owner is friendly. The room feels old, but the bedding is clean and the atmosphere is nice because it's in the mountains. I have to go to the airport in the morning, so I'm so grateful that he agreed to take me to a nearby station!

The hotel is a life saver for those who need to stay at ASO area. The owner is very kind. As the location is bit in a hilly area(most of the hotels at that area), the owner will arrange pick up if you inform the schedule arrival time.
There also exist a large public bath to get the stress out in minutes…

Baths and toilets are shared.There is no refrigerator in the room.Wi-Fi available.Equipped with microwave, hot water supply, and oven.There is a gravel road outside, so if you bring a carry case, you will need to carry it by hand.The surrounding area is a pension village.There is also a hot spring nearby.There is also a convenience store within a short walk.Because Mt. Aso is nearbyConvenient if you are planning to go to Mt. Aso.

Considering the price, it is worthy and comfortable enough. Facility is rather old but clean and well maintained. There is a huge back yard and you can play sports. The owner is generous. He was really kind and told us where to visit and look around using a translator in his mobile. You can touch the kindness and goodness of Japanese people here.

Simply is best.This is a pension as the word suggests.The lawn at the back of the pension has a great view on sunny days and is a relaxing place to relax.The owner is also kind and accommodating to our requests, which has helped us every time.My favorite room in our house is the room with a loft.The child is happily climbing up and down the ladder that leads to the top.Aging is undeniable.However, I think that's part of the atmosphere you can enjoy at a pension.The pension also has a relatively large bath that you can use.There is a private family bath nearby called Yurayura. Recommended.

I was warmly welcomed by the soft-spoken host.Even though I said I was being selfish, I was very moved by how sincerely they responded to my request.I would like to use it again.The bathroom was also well-cleaned.(It can't be helped since it's on the top of a mountain) The changing rooms and bathrooms are pretty cold so be careful!

There was a very large open space behind the pension, so I was able to let my dog run around as much as I wanted. The owner is also a nice person, and I appreciate that you can stay with your dog.

I think people may like or dislike the room, but the food was delicious, and best of all, I brought my dog with me this time, so it was perfect for bringing my dog with me! !Nowadays, there are many places where only small dogs stay, but even a medium-sized Shiba Inu dog could stay there, and the accommodation was very nice.Moreover, the dog was very happy to be able to take a walk, and it was a great place surrounded by nature!I would like to stay here again on my next trip!Thank you very much for your help this time! !thank you very much!Thank you so much for helping me take a bath in the morning!

I didn't have high expectations because it was cheap, but the room was larger than I expected and I was able to relax in the well-equipped facilities.

At the end of last year, I visited with my dog without making a reservation in advance.I asked for a stay with breakfast included, and the owner was very personable! I couldn't see any other customers, so maybe the middle bath? But it was relaxing. It seemed impossible to go shopping for dinner without a car! I was lucky that there was a bento shop not far away.Breakfast was Western food! I was very satisfied with the heartwarming food. Also, if you go to Aso in Kumamoto Prefecture! It was a good pension inn that I would like to take care of.thank you very much.

I didn't stay there, but I thought the cancellation fee period was too long.Due to a cluster outbreak of the new coronavirus in the northern part of the prefecture, we had no choice but to cancel.
