Kumamoto Kita Ward Hotels

Advantages · I think this is by far the best water quality among the Japanese hot springs I have experienced so far. · Friendly staff · Cozy space · You can use the family bath even if you are alone. · Dinner of ridiculous quality. The best Japanese course meal I've ever had. disadvantage · There is no private shower space in the room (but you can use the family bath to yourself). Things to keep in mind · Must walk for about 20 minutes after public transportation · There is really nothing around except for one convenience store, so it may not be suitable for travelers who want to do activities.

All staffs are nice and the room is tidy. We stayed with in room onsen was super nice. The check out time showed from trip.com was 12:00 but actually should be 10:00.

I also really liked the hot springs ♨️. Both the bed and pillows were very comfortable. Both dinner and breakfast had a wide variety of dishes and were delicious! On New Year's Day, they even served zenzai and kinako mochi. After checking out, we got a free ticket to the nearby bathhouse (Agannasse), where we enjoyed the open-air bath and rock sauna until after 3pm. I went with my daughter, and she also said it was a nice change of pace and she really enjoyed it. 😊

I honestly do not know where to start, I booked the hotel without really knowing much about Kumamoto Prefecture. After arriving in Kumamoto City and then realising Ueki Onsen is another 40 minute bus ride I was thinking oh dear where am I staying. After arriving at the hotel I was greeted by the manager of the hotel who showed me to my room and gave me a tour of the facilities. Once settled in I realised there isn't great public transport around and I primarily wanted to see Beppu and Yufuin during my stay, I enquired with the manager on where I might be able to rent a car, with little to no Japanese language under my belt he took it upon himself to reserve a vehicle for me and offered to drive me himself to collect it. He then also said he would take me back to return it a few days later. After my trips to Beppu and Yufui village (Not to be missed) and not to miss the outstanding and beautiful surroundings in Uekimachi and the Aso region. The manager and I set off to return my hire car, on the way back he took me to Kikuchi shrine to pray and also gifted me coffee and cake. They also accommodated me with use of the on site onsen (amazing) after hours as I'm heavily tattooed. I feel truly grateful to have found this hidden gem of rural Japan and if you are thinking of traveling this great country I emplore you to go off the beaten path. I experienced untold kindness during my stay and have memories of a life time. Thank you so much guys

Очень приятное и душевное место. Хозяйка замечательная, очень внимательная и хотела помочь. Остались хорошие воспоминания после проживания в этом рекане

Nice onsen resort. But, not enough staff to serve customers

車パーキングがちょっと狭くて、難しいですね。基本的にもんだいないですが、夜に着くと黒い大きな石は見にくいですし、もうちょっと問題ないようにできないかと考えました。それ以外は小さなことですが、ブランケットは背が高い人には小さいのでスペアがあればたすかります。

Thank you for your quick response.
