I was able to spend a comfortable time in a stylish and functional cottage.The barbecue on the terrace had a wonderful view, and the building had an effective dirt floor, with good access to the kitchen and toilets.At the nearest roadside station, Asobinosato Kugino, you can purchase fresh vegetables, rare vegetables, and ingredients unique to Kumamoto.Also, there are plenty of easy-to-use tableware in the kitchen, so you won't have to worry about running out of plates even when you're not having a barbecue. (Large white and black plates, slightly deeper plates, deep bowls, and heat-resistant cups for each person)Cooking utensils include 2 frying pans, 1 pot, 2 bowls, 1 colander, yakisoba plate, and kitchen paper.By the way, there is also a space on the premises where you can rent out items for free, including mosquito coils, insecticide spray, charcoal tongs, and fire starters.There is a smart TV equipped with all the major streaming services built-in, so you can spend your time watching movies.I could see a lot of stars and they were surprisingly clear.Next time, I would love to visit in the winter and try using the wood burning stove. (The wood-burning stove can be used from November to March, and you can use whatever firewood is available!)

I stayed here with my family this time, and I highly recommend it for those traveling with children!You can spend a quiet time in the middle of nature while looking at the scenery of Aso, and you will be healed by an extraordinary space (灬˘╰╯˘灬)The cottage is a completely private space, so you can enjoy your stay without worrying about your surroundings, even if you have children with you. I also had free Wi-Fi and watched YouTube on the TV so I didn't get bored. Anyway, the facilities in the room were very clean, and the kitchen and tableware provided were easy to use. Furthermore, there is a washing machine with a dryer in the changing room, so it is especially good for those who want to leisurely sightsee Kumamoto and Aso while staying for a few days.For dinner, I was surprised at how delicious the meat in the barbecue set I had ordered in advance was! I think you will be satisfied with both quality and quantity. Also, there is a famous hormone shop nearby, so it's recommended for a quick pick-me-up.Be sure to stop by the nearby Asobo no Sato Kugino. We carry Minamiaso specialties, fresh vegetables, and souvenirs.Although it is close to Kumamoto city, the cottage is the best because you can be healed by nature. Next time I would like to stay in the cold season when it snows♪
