This is a ryokan-style hotel located a 5-minute walk from the Toorichosuji expressway bus stop, which can be accessed with the SanQ Pass. It was an antique hotel that pursued oriental modernity.The location is in the center of Kumamoto Prefecture, so there was no inconvenience in shopping or dining. However, it is not very close to the JR station and bus center, so I don't think it is very easy to travel to surrounding cities. Nevertheless, the reason I am leaving a review in Korean is because this hotel has a unique charm that is different from other hotels of the same class.It has the appearance of a ryokan in the city, but I spent a night there, which is different from typical business hotels. I was very satisfied as I was able to get good value for money as the breakfast buffet was included.The large public bath was also used on weekdays, so depending on the time of day, I could use it alone, and was able to spend a very leisurely time in the large space. The water in the large public bath is an artificial hot spring.Breakfast was served buffet-style, and considering it was a business hotel, the food was very good. In fact, I think it's better to have a buffet like this rather than the full breakfast at ryokans because you can eat as much as you want.To sum up, I think I can give it a good score in terms of its impressive oriental atmosphere and its location in a downtown area. It was also a very good place in terms of cost-effectiveness. It would be a good idea to consider staying here along with your Kumamoto Castle itinerary.

The rooms were spacious and relaxing.However, I was worried that the doorknob in the bathroom was not working properly and wouldn't open when I entered.I hope you can fix that.Also, it would be nice if the shower in the public bath had a little more water pressure.The public bath was also spacious and relaxing.The breakfast buffet had a variety of options and was delicious. I couldn't eat lunch because I ate too much. . .The location is in the downtown area, so I took the tram from Kumamoto Station and got there without getting lost.I would like to use it again when I go to Kumamoto.

This hotel has a Japanese-style atmosphere.The bed mattress is thin and soft, so it might be difficult for people with back pain.The bathroom is tatami, which gives it a strange feeling.There are several restaurants lined up on the first floor, but all of them looked good. I wanted to eat ramen, so I went to another restaurant.

Great location and large tatami bath. There are several restaurants on the first floor of the hotel. Convenience stores such as 7-Eleven are also very close. The coin laundry is on the same floor as the public bath, so you can wash your clothes while taking a bath.The public bath also has shampoo, conditioner, body shampoo, scrubbing liquid, sake lees-based facial cleansing foam, and face packs.There is only body cream in the sink, so please bring your own lotion if necessary.

It's located just off a side street from the downtown area through an arcade.This is an inn with a long history. There are convenience stores nearby, and it's in the center of the city, with Kumamoto Castle nearby.This and Dormy Inn were the only inns where three people could stay in one room.I believe it was founded as an old inn, but everything has been updated with new features, and there were no inconveniences such as a lack of electrical outlets or poor water flow or no Wi-Fi.You can choose your yukata and amenities next to the front desk.The public bath had tatami mats instead of tiles, which gave it a warm feel.The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of items and was very satisfying.It may look like a small inn on the outside, but it was a very nice inn with a lot of heart.

I had some business to do in Kumamoto City, and my family and I used it. The interior has been recently renovated, giving the impression of a mature and somewhat expensive Japanese-style inn with black as the main color. However, the price was very reasonable and easy to use considering the location, cleanliness of the room, and the staff's response. Also, thankfully for the children, the floor in the washing area of ​​the large public bath is made of tatami mats, which is slightly less slippery than tiles, which we were grateful for because the children enjoyed it. Unfortunately, due to some circumstances, I wasn't able to eat at the hotel, but overall I'm very glad that I was able to spend my time comfortably and at a reasonable price.Then, please come and take a look. Personally, I think the large tatami bath is worth a visit.

Located in the center of Kumamoto around 20min walk from Kumamoto castle with a Seven Eleven just opposite the entrance. Very outdated rooms with a pretty bad overall smell inside the hotel. Average futon and pillows and pretty small room

location, atmosphere, bathroom, serviceVery good. I can be satisfiedbut,The walls of the room are a little thin, and you can hear the loud voices from next door (I think they were probably hustling). When I hit the wall, I couldn't hear it anymore.It would be perfect if there was a little more soundproofing.
