🔍IG: t.e_tastyeats✨The next day’s itinerary was close to Kumamoto Castle, so the travel agency chose a nearby business hotel. There was also a cute Kumamon bear in the spacious reception hall.✨The rest area next to it seems empty, but it is super luxurious. The rooms are small, the walkways are narrow, and the toilet is small, but it still has a bathtub.✨At least the room looks pretty clean.There is also a free beverage hall on the 10th floor, which can be enjoyed by staying guests.There are plenty of seats, and it’s also a place to have breakfast the next day.✨You can really see Kumamoto Castle with the lights on from the window sill.✨There are quite a variety of drinks and teas provided. You can chat while drinking and enjoy the night view.✨For breakfast, gather in the middle area.✨This bread that tastes a bit like French toast is so soft and delicious.✨The main course is also quite rich, with many ingredients that have never been eaten before, the cooked Japanese food has a unique flavor, and there are also some pickled side dishes. .✨Try a different Japanese breakfast, the must-have lettuce salad area.✨I picked up a full plate of breakfast, and added a small bowl of Japanese ramen and milk tea. The Japanese ramen is really delicious. I blanched it slightly on site and added soup. A bowl of noodles is only one bite. I I ate two bowls directly, and some warm soup in the morning was very warm to my stomach.✨Then enjoy breakfast while overlooking Kumamoto Castle in the morning. It’s so happy. We ate until the last minute of the gathering and then hurried to gather.-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------🌟If you are interested in other food store reviews, you can search🌟🔍IG: t.e_tastyeats🔍Fansone: Suzy & Sarah’s world of eating, drinking and having fun

The room is very old and small. Only the toilet has been renovated and is very useful.

I used it on a business trip. I arrived much earlier than scheduled for a meeting starting at 11am, but I was able to park in the reserved surface parking lot for an additional 200 yen per hour. Even after checking out the next day, I was able to park until 12:00 and was able to tour Kumamoto Castle.The person in charge of the parking lot was very responsive.The room was clean and I was able to relax without feeling pressured.Free drinks are also nice.
