Set in one of the nicest neighbourhoods of Kumamoto, surrounded by cafes, street food stores and some of the best kaiseki restaurants (looking at you, Matsuda), this place is cozy, practical, beautiful and sweet all in one. Everything is super clean, and a lot of small, practical details make this an easy place to stay. It attracts mature Japanese women as well as internationals. More guesthouse than hostel, the atmosphere is fantastic and a breath of fresh, social but private, air for the lone female traveller.I had a tiny private tatami room. Entirely served it’s purpose - basic but with all important amenities such as fan, air conditioner, window and electric socket (and pretty good lighting!).Service is friendly, thoughtful and professional in one, just like the place itself. I left my luggage for a few hours and when I came back to pick it up there was a very sweet note left on top.Thank you to the owner and to my fellow guest women for thoughtfully sharing such a nice space.

A women-only inn.The common areas were clean and I felt safe staying there.The price was also reasonable.

A great hostel - very clean !The location is convenient as next to the bus terminal and 2 stations away from the main train station (or 15 minutes by walk)There is not towel nor shampoo at your disposal so you will need to buy it from them. The first time I am seeing that in Japan!For female travelers only

If you like traveling and want to keep your accommodation costs down and move around freely, I think this is a good option for you.The single room is small, about 2 tatami mats, but there is an air conditioner.Since it is a sliding door, you have to be careful about the sounds of opening and closing, and you can hear the presence of people and footsteps.The key is also special, so it's a little confusing to get used to it.Recommended for those who don't mind those things.However, the common spaces such as the common room, rooftop, and kitchen are of normal size and can be used freely.I think it will be a great memory of your trip.

It was a very cute inn, and I could feel the good taste everywhere. The kitchen, bath, and sink were so comfortable that it was a waste to check out. It's impressive to see Kumamoto Castle lit up from the rooftop.It was easily accessible and there was a supermarket nearby. I would definitely like to stay here again when I come to Kumamoto.

It was my first time traveling alone abroad, and my English and Japanese were not very good. Fortunately, the host of the hotel was very patient in explaining it! To me, everything is great overall. The interior decoration is beautiful, the location is great, and there is a charichari available for rent nearby. I started running from the farthest scenic spots the day before, and went out early the next morning to run around Kumamoto Castle, waiting for the noon ride. I can handle the Shinkansen with ease~

It was such a wonderful stay, it was hard to leave!The inn is for women only and is securely locked at night and early in the morning (you can go in and out with the key), so I felt very safe staying there.I was able to stay in a 2 tatami private room for about 3,000 yen.These 2 tatami mats had just the right amount of personal space and were very comfortable.The entire inn was so clean that I wondered how they were cleaning it, and there wasn't a speck of dust anywhere.The walls of the rooms on the 1st floor are thin, so the sounds of people coming in and out through the sliding doors and walking in the hallway are more noticeable than in a normal inn.When I stayed there, most of the people were well-mannered and I had a quiet time.The shower room is on the 2nd floor, so if you have trouble with your legs or knees, you might want to avoid it (the stairs are gentle).There is a 24-hour coin parking lot in front of the inn for 500 yen, which is convenient. (As of November 2023)Everything is really great for the price!I'm looking forward to my next stay!

That was a cute inn ♡The husband was a kind woman and was very kind! ︎The hallway, the rooftop terrace, the stairs to the terrace, and the kitchen are full of accessories that will make girls' eyes sparkle♪It's perfectly fine that the shower is a shower box and there's no bathtub, but it's a bit disappointing that there are no rental towels and shampoo charges (*_*)However, even with that in mind, it was an inn that I would like to visit again. There is a 24-hour supermarket within walking distance, so you don't have to worry about meals even if you stay overnight without meals. There is a cheap coin parking in front of the parking lot 🚗

It was very clean and comfortable.However, I was concerned about the sound of the room door opening and closing (rattle), and since I stayed in the summer, was there an early morning bear seminar? The negative point was that it was noisy.If you're staying in the summer, you might want to bring earplugs, as the sound of cicadas will wake you up at around 6am.Since it is a hostel, it may be unavoidable that you are concerned about the surrounding noise.Other than that I was satisfied!

This hotel was so well designed!I arrived only for one night. The lady in the front was very kind and helpful.After 10pm, you need to enter a password to get in.I took a single room and the futon bed was comfy, the only problem is the walls were almost literally paper thin, you can hear the person next to you or someone walking or even entering the hostel at a late hour.This was still a cute and lovely hostel and I will come back again

I felt safe staying there as it was only for women. There was a thoughtfulness unique to women, and the decorations were soothing. It is also attractive that you can stay at a reasonable price. However, I thought it would be okay to stay for a long time if the room was a little bigger.

Thank you for staying with us for one night. All of the facilities are clean and stylish, and you can feel the attention to detail. It's fun just exploring the facility. There are also large rooms, so it would be nice to have a large group and relax on the rooftop. It's a 5-minute walk from the tram stop that connects to Kumamoto Station, but the river scenery along the way is beautiful, so it's fun to walk. Thank you for your kindness! I will also use it on my next trip to Kumamoto (pre-ride).

Even though I was late for check-in, I was very happy to be treated so kindly. The kitchen was cute, the toilets and showers were clean, and everything was stylish and comfortable. The room is enough for just sleeping. I would like to stay here again.

I stayed here a few years ago. It was very clean and beautiful, but unfortunately I was bitten by bed bugs in dozens of places. For about a month after that, the itching and scarring was severe. It seems that the inn knew that bedbugs were living there and took measures to prevent them, such as filling the gaps between the tatami mats with silicone glue, but when I woke up in the morning, I was bitten all over my body, and the insects had shed their shells. It was falling. I saw bedbugs for the first time in Japan! Everything else was good!

A bit quirky in the most positive sense! An incredibly lovingly furnished hostel with great attention to detail. A true refuge. As a welcome there was a short tour with an explanation of everything. My room was small (2 tatami mats) but it was enough; The advertisement was also very accurate, so I was aware of it beforehand. There is a small kitchen with the opportunity to cook, a pretty roof terrace with a view of the castle, and vending machines with small amenities if you have forgotten a towel or shampoo - or are still looking for a Kumamon souvenir! All the information about Kumamoto and the surrounding area was very helpful: city maps, bus timetables, tips for a good sushi restaurant... thank you very much!

One of the best hostels I've been to! Ladies only! The rooftop balcony is absolutely lovely.
