Hotel a 3 stelle in Prefettura di Kumamoto, Giappone

Ho usato questo hotel prima. Ho l'impressione che questo hotel offra buon colazione. Confrontato con altri hotel, penso che questo punto sia vantaggioso. Quindi ho scelto questo hotel di nuovo.

As the first stop of my birthday trip, I chose Aso. Having previously worked as a hotel management professional, I had high expectations for the hotel’s facilities and services. My stay at Kakuman Hotel, along with my traveling companions, was thoroughly enjoyable—from check-in to the overall amenities, everything exceeded our satisfaction. The staff we encountered were exceptionally friendly, whether at the front desk or in the restaurant. Additionally, experiencing hot springs for the first time left us feeling deeply relaxed. Thank you to Kakuman Hotel for adding color to my journey.🙏🏼 While every aspect was highly satisfying, there was a minor shortcoming: the majority of diners in the restaurant were Korean tourists. On my second night, a small incident occurred during dinner. The server assigned me a seat where only tableware and a departure-time notice were placed. After I retrieved my food, I found three Korean guests (two elderly individuals and a middle-aged man) preparing to sit there. I was confused whether I had taken the wrong seat or if there was another reason, so I asked the guests. Unexpectedly, the man loudly called over the female server who had arranged the seat and sharply questioned her in Japanese. The server later found me the correct seat, which was at the table adjacent to the three guests. I felt deeply sorry for the female server being unjustly scolded, and I also did not understand why the Korean man needed to accuse her in such a loud tone—I would have been happy to apologize for my misunderstanding. Regarding the above incident, I would like to offer a suggestion: the tables in the restaurant are each equipped with a bucket of tableware and wet wipes, but there are no numbers or markers to identify the assigned seats. Guests can only rely on placing their own items or memory to remember their seats. I believe I am not the only one who has encountered a similar issue, and the hotel may consider adding markers to each table to make it easier for guests to recognize their assigned seats.

The room is new and clean, providing a comfortable stay, though it is a bit crowded for two people. The location is nice, with the shopping streets nearby, having multiple restaurants and convenience store opening till midnight. However, it is quite hard to find a parking lot in the nearby, especially during weekends.

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.

From the moment you arrive until the moment you leave you are in the best care. The hotel is a good distance from the train station and a short walk from downtown/stores so I would suggest it as an option for those with cars, but not impossible for those by train. They do offer free parking that is easy to find and right next to the hotel entrance. The team assisting does a great job accommodating you during check in, touring and explaining the space, for dinner, breakfast, getting information on the local attractions (Aso Mountain), and during check out. The building appears new but also very traditional. The dinner that is included is a multi dish feast that will leave you so satisfied with lots of local dishes. We stayed in a room with a private bath that was perfect but also had access to all the public/private baths that are also open to the public. The common areas are magical and have the perfect atmosphere you would expect. The only note is the room we had said garden view but it was mainly a view of the interior roofs, but the room itself is spacious, clean and airy so its easily forgiven. The beds are traditional style on the floor and are very clean and comfortable. I would highly suggest this place to anyone traveling in the area.

L'hotel è al di sopra del più grande della zona. Abbiamo ricevuto il van bexause dell'hotel, era piovendo. Ma è camminabile dalla fermata dell'autobus. Ci sono caffè e snack liberi nella zona lobby, e anche birra libera nel bar. I scherzi sono molto grandi e puliti. Gli scherzi pubblici e privati sono super carini e puliti. I scherzi privati non hanno asciugamani così sicuri di portare la vostra. Le camere sono grandi e pulite con vista sul fiume o sul crepuscolo. Il personale è bello e accessibile

Molto, molto soddisfatto~ La camera silenziosa era molto più bella di quella senza voce. Nonostante avessimo prenotato un letto singolo, l'hotel ci ha dato un letto matrimoniale. Grazie mille. Il personale della reception è stato molto cordiale, gentile e gentile. Il drink di benvenuto era delizioso e il bagno termale era molto confortevole. Nel complesso, sono rimasto molto soddisfatto.

Exceed our expectations! The room is comfortable with nice bed. It is good value of money. Even though the hotel does not offer breakfast, it has a well equipped pantry with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for quests to enjoy complimentary coffee and self bring food. The staff speak good English and very helpful. Highly recommended!

Less than 5mins from the Kumamoto station (but note that the station is not close to the city centre). Room is clean, breakfast is free and good taste, the public bath is not large but still very relaxing.

Sono stato un po' scettico su tutti i commenti che menzionano era come un castello di Miyazaki e magico, ecc perché le foto non lo mostravano veramente. Ma è perché le foto non lo mostrano veramente .. ma l'atmosfera esiste! Il posto di Miki è pieno di dettagli, è arte, ma non solo, è acuto, è carino, divertente, a volte critico, ti fa meravigliare, camminare, pensare, voler toccare e esplorare. C'è musica, c'è vintage tecnologico, c'è angoli nascosti. Le camere singole sono le più cercate, ma i dormitori hanno davvero bisogno di una possibilità. Ho soggiornato in un piccolo dormitorio con solo due letti. Con un divano incredibilmente confortevole e un acquario con un pesce fortunato con un bambola circondato da ”diamanti” di prosperità. All'entrata c'era anche un costume samurai che mi guardava il sonno. Le finestre hanno coperte di carta con i modelli di Sakura. La pressione dell'acqua nel doccia è così buona che ho pensato di essere in un'acquafalla! L'altra stanza è più grande con due sedie a swing super comode. Un giorno sono rimasto solo dentro. E è stato così buono! Quindi, mi consiglio di venire con il tempo per godere e dare la necessaria attenzione e cura che merita.
