Despite our language barrier, the owner loves conversing with people, which is why he decided to open his guesthouse. He even recommended a little path that shows a great sunrise. I was greeted with some deers hopping in the distance at 6.30am. Truly magical and breathtaking. This is THE place for solo travellers. There’s a saying that it’s the people that makes the trip enjoyable and this place is proof. He charges for accommodation cheaply but offers beyond the cost, within his means happily. He loves anime like Attack on Titan and has watched Laputa 21 times. His hobbies include biking, hiking and has hiked Mt Kuju several times, Mt Aso too. He travelled to Vietnam Cambodia and Thailand solo trip too, and wants to do it again 3 years later.
As my first time doing solo travelling, I couldn't be luckier than this to have met this wonderful host. I would say so far, my time spent in Kurokawa Onsen and together with the host is my whole trip’s highlight. I felt very safe and comfortable in this living space and truly enjoyed the nature surrounding it as well. I love the location of the guesthouse because I love walking and hiking. The main area of Kurokawa Onsen is quite a walk itself, so walking to the guesthouse was just extra leisure for me. Just make sure to follow google maps and the various sign boards he’s put up along the way! He offers a ride back and forth at 8.10am and 5pm to the main area anyway and to the supermarket if needed, very generous of him! Make sure to not be shy and chit-chat a lot with him! It was so much fun.
The room was very cozy and with the 6 beds arranged, an extra 100 yen per night for the heater is totally reasonable to me! it felt like I was back to school and enjoyed the cleanliness and casualness of everything. Damn, this place has great interior design too. The lights have motion sensors, pretty cool! He also has his own little beautiful hot spring which you should pay extra if you want to bathe at night. Personally did not find the need after bathing at the town haha.
Thank you for the comfort of home and lovely company!! I hope many people who enjoy company and nature stay here!! Highly recommended for at least 2 nights! The onsens are all very good and beautiful. I want to come again.
This is a great place to stay if you want to be in a peaceful and quiet location. It is in the village with not much disturbances. The owner is very helpful and try to answer your questions about bus and train services in the area. You can find some local restaurants nearby using your Google map. The restaurants are close around 3 to 4 pm most days. The closing hours for the restaurants are not accurate. This is a small town; if they don’t have costumers after a certain hours in the evening, they will be closed. Be mindful about that and come prepared with snacks and food!
Il posto dell'hotel è molto conveniente per scendere e la casa di giardino, tranquillo nel giardino.
L'ambiente è pulito e confortevole; se si arriva a Liu Xiang, si deve considerare la residenza in questo luogo prima.👍
L'Airport Hotel Kumamoto è una scelta molto conveniente e confortevole per i viaggiatori che volano in o fuori dall'aeroporto di Kumamoto. La sua vicinanza all'aeroporto, il servizio di navetta gratuita, le moderne strutture e le opzioni di cena sul posto rendeno una scelta eccellente per soggiorni brevi e viaggi di business. L'hotel offre anche facile accesso alle principali attrazioni di Kumamoto City, rendendolo adatto anche per coloro che esplorano la regione.
La decorazione dell'hotel per Natale è stata meravigliosa e bella.
Inizialmente, quando ci siamo accolti, il passaggio al livello 2 aveva un odore di merda sgradevole ma poche ore dopo è andato. Penso che l'hotel dovrebbe guardare per migliorare la ventilazione e aggiungere un po' di aroma.
Il colazione è stato distribuito per 1320 yen, e ci sono state scelte giapponesi e occidentali.
E'un club di campagna da golf.La stanza è grande e le letti sono molto comodi.Il punto luminoso è il panorama montagnoso fuori dalla finestra, e la piscina aperta calda, lavanderia gratuita.Ma è adatto per i taxi, altrimenti il bagno può andare in taxi. Non ci sono negozi e strutture di ristorazione intorno. La colazione e la cena dell'hotel devono essere date in anticipo un giorno, altrimenti non possono essere fornite.Il servizio della reception è molto gentile e aiuta a determinare un taxi ecc.
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.
What a great experience! Very glad we spend one night at this unique place. The staff was extremely helpfull and kind.
The rooms are very decent, considering it's an old sleeper train. Just keep in mind the rooms are quite narrow so there is not a lot of space to keep luggage in the room.
And the other facilities (bathroom, common rooom) are not abundant, but clean and very much so sufficient for spending a night.
Molto buono

UUtente ospiteImpeccable Service
From the moment we arrived, the hospitality at Takenokura Sansou was exceptional. The receptionist came out to the car park to welcome us personally and escorted us to the reception office. He and his colleague then helped unload our luggage and thoughtfully delivered everything to our room.
The warmth extended well beyond the front desk. As we walked through the dining hall en route to our room, even the chef greeted us with a smile, which immediately made us feel genuinely welcomed.
The staff took the time to explain all the room amenities in detail, including how to adjust the temperature of the private outdoor onsen. At the dining hall, the service team was consistently friendly and approachable, despite my limited Japanese. They served us with patience and sincerity—even when my son happily requested four servings of their heavenly dinner rolls.
Upon checkout, the team came out again to bid us farewell. This was, without question, the best service we experienced throughout our 18-day journey across Kyushu.
Facilities
While some aspects of the room décor and appliances are dated, everything was immaculately clean. As someone particularly fussy about bedding, I can confidently say that Takenokura Sansou offers the best futon I have experienced since I began traveling to Japan in 1999. The quilt was fluffy and soft, while the futon was firm yet incredibly comfortable. I honestly wanted to stay longer just for the sleep.
The private outdoor onsen was the highlight of our stay. The small garden was beautifully arranged, creating a serene and intimate atmosphere. The water temperature could be easily adjusted, and soaking while gazing up at the sky was pure enjoyment.
The room layout was clearly well thought out, with the shower located just before the outdoor onsen and a door to keep out the cold—allowing you to warm up comfortably before stepping outside into the winter air. A small heater near the porch area by the toilet would be a welcome addition to make late-night visits more comfortable, but this is a very minor suggestion.
Dining
This was probably the best dinner we had during our time in Kyushu. Takenokura Sansou surprised us with a beautifully executed fusion-style, course-by-course kaiseki meal. Combined with cocktails and warm interactions with the charming and friendly oba-chan service staff, the entire dining experience embodied what I love most about Japan: excellent food, heartfelt service, and meticulous attention to detail.
One moment stood out in particular. When my son asked—in English—whether he could have a fourth serving of the dinner roll, the chef unexpectedly emerged from the open kitchen and personally served him a freshly toasted roll with soft butter. We were genuinely delighted and deeply touched by this thoughtful gesture.
Conclusion
Everything about our stay at Takenokura Sansou was exceptional. My only regret is booking just one night. I will most certainly return if I visit the Mount Aso area again.
Well done, Takenokura Sansou—you truly deserve this praise.

UUtente ospiteI 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
UUtente ospiteOur recent stay at a charming guesthouse felt like stepping into the pages of a fairytale. The entire house exuded simplicity and warmth, reminiscent of a storybook setting. The gracious host welcomed us with genuine enthusiasm, even though our grasp of Japanese was limited. Despite the language barrier, we thoroughly enjoyed our conversations.
The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the sumptuous dinner. We were almost too full to continue after indulging in the feast. The homemade hamburger steak, lovingly prepared by the host, was exceptionally delicious. If you’re seeking a heartwarming experience in Aso, I highly recommend giving this guesthouse a try.
