Giappone: hotel con internet nella provincia di Prefettura di Kumamoto

Era la prima volta che usavo questo hotel per un tour di Aso. Dato che era una prenotazione last minute, c'era solo una camera disponibile, quindi abbiamo prenotato una camera per due adulti e i due uomini hanno dormito in letti singoli, ma siamo riusciti a dormire in qualche modo. C'era un Lawson nelle vicinanze, quindi abbiamo comprato degli snack lì. Per mangiare, siamo andati al vicino Restaurant EAST, ma la stazione ferroviaria di Aso è raggiungibile a piedi, quindi è possibile acquistare anche lì dei bento box. Anche Yumenoyu Onsen è nelle vicinanze e il biglietto d'ingresso costa 300 yen. L'ASO Base Backpackers è situato in una posizione comoda, con minimarket, stazioni ferroviarie lungo la strada, la stazione JR di Aso e sorgenti termali nelle vicinanze. Le moto possono essere parcheggiate gratuitamente nel parcheggio coperto per biciclette. Il prezzo e la posizione erano perfetti per un soggiorno di solo pernottamento.

Hotel is in a pretty good location. Close to kumamoto JR station by Tram and walkable distance to the sakuramachi bus terminal/mall (5min). Serviable by both red and blue tram lines as well. Room is slightly bigger than the usual japanese business hotel. Pricewise was really affordable as well ($40+ sgd/night 1 pax). The hotel provides room cleaning for concurrent 3 days stay I believe (no daily cleaning, only change of towels), but you will need to pass the keycard/key tothe front desk on the day of the cleaning. And then retrieve the key back when come back to the hotel after the cleaning. No microwave in room, you need to go down to the lobby to use the only microwave in the hotel. Otherwise the hotel is a cheap and good stay.

The facilities and cleanliness of this hotel are very good. Especially in terms of food, we have all-you-can-eat long-legged crabs, which makes us feel so satisfied. The drinks are also unlimited. The hotel' private bath are very comfortable.

Location is very good, walking distance to the shopping streets. We had everything we need from the amenities area. Breakfast is very good range, and most important YUMMY! The staffs at the breakfast area were very friendly and helpful too, they even helped my son (5yr old) with his drink he wants 🥰 We loved the bath, face and hand towels that are used in the hotel. They feel so soft to the skin!

The hotel is very new, and the rooms are nice, comfortable and very spacious compared to other hotels in Kumamoto city. The public baths, both indoor and open-air, as well as the changing area, are very clean and tidy. We enjoyed our stay there very much.

Pros- spacious villa, quality bedding and large private indoor onsen( see picture 13). We also like the public outdoor onsen in the sister ryokan nearby. There is a little cafe there you can buy drinks and coffee, run by an adorable old couple, very nice and polite. We spent a lot of time there just chilling and listening to the music. Cons- Living room: we were only able to book the western style villa as it’s a little last minute trip. The living room is basic, bland, with sofa, instead or tatami. Our room 512 is next to the car park. Parking lot in front of your main door is not very pleasant. Food : just soso. Nothing extraordinary. See picture. No horse sashimi, the presentation of the steak is really ordinary - disappointing. Perhaps because we had such an amazing meals in the previous ryokan this became a massive letdown. Dinner served in a large public dining room, lack of the privacy and intimacy ther ryokan provide ( we had private dining room in another ryokan 野之花during this trip). I got to see other couples but also feeling like we are being watched. Service- served by young people, not much attentiveness you would expect in traditional ryokan, lack of the warmth and ritual. Reception- 3 star at best. A basic room with uncomfortable chair while you wait to be checked in. We arrived around 2:30pm, and was told that check in can only start at 3pm, and please wait. So we sat at the hard chair and forced to watch the promotional video until 3pm. Conclusion - 3.5 star ryokan, not the most exciting or exclusive villa we have stayed. Maybe it would get better once the trees grow thicker and staff better trained. The sister Ryokan nearby has better feel of environment and feels more established.

Fantastico soggiorno! Ottimo soggiorno con bagno aperto e piccolo giardino. Il cibo ha saputo grande, ben equilibrato sale e dolcezza. Il personale di servizio era caldo ed efficiente, prendendo l'iniziativa di fornire servizio per la comodità dell'ospite.

It's the first hotel that I've been to in Japan that had a normal check-in procedure through the receptionist rather than a machine, and you're greeted upon entry. La posizione è così perfetta e considerando che è proprio vicino alla stazione ferroviaria, non ho sentito niente. Anche la stanza per il prezzo era molto confortevole e spaziosa!

La stanza è ampia e confortevole, il tavolino è dotato di una coperta riscaldante, è bello sedersi lì e bere tè e bevande. La cena è stata fantastica e la natura sporadica della cucina giapponese era chiaramente in mostra qui. Tutto il personale è molto cordiale. La vasca da bagno all'aperto in camera è ben progettata e sembra di fare il bagno nella foresta.

Abbiamo ricevuto come principes. Tutto è stato perfetto. È del molto alto livello, ma l’atmosfera rimane molto tipica. Il pranzo e il colazione sono perfetti e molto copievole. Un indirizzo molto bello
