Although the location is a bit far from Kumamoto Castle, it’s manageable if you plan your transportation in advance. The last bus to Kikuchi leaves around 6 PM, so public transport can be a little inconvenient. Other than that, everything was wonderful. The countryside scenery felt peaceful and comforting, reminding me of my hometown. The hosts provided bicycles, and riding through the rice fields was incredibly relaxing and beautiful. The hostess made an absolutely delicious breakfast, and both hosts were unbelievably kind. They treated me like their own child, even driving me to Kumamoto Castle and drawing a route map for me. Their warmth and hospitality made my stay truly special. Next time, I would love to stay for a few more days just to quietly enjoy the rural atmosphere and beautiful countryside life.

The breakfast for just Y1000 and coffee for Y500 was the best part of our stay! And that's saying a lot because we loved it all. She is such a good cook and he roasts the coffee on premises! So good.

Great hostel in a central location. I stayed in the dorm and in a private room. I loved it, it is very clean and the tenant is super nice. Very cosy and beautifully decorated. Would definitely recommend to stay here.

We loved this place, very clean and new (we stayed in the little house with two adjacent rooms). Great views from the rooms. Little nice garden outside. Very kind hosts who provided us with rice balls for our trip when we left. Road to house is small and narrow but no problem for our medium sized car.

Everything was perfect. The hosts are so kind. We had the chance to participate to a self-defense and boxing training with a team. We also enjoyed the bar at night. (Both are not held every day, we were lucky) It was chill and we could meet local people. Overall we had great chats. We hope to see them again. The room was great. Confortable and quite big for 2 people. There is a bus station at 3 minutes walk. Everthing is convenient.

Host was very welcoming on our arrival, even with our language barrier. The host always used google translate to communicate with us, and happily accommodated our request for an early check in. Great traditional Japanese breakfast

Lovely, quiet, cosy, clean, comfortable, private country home stay. Shinya, friendly & lovely host was there when we do check in & taking care everything for us. Next morning, he brought us his mom homemade delicious chiffon cake (made using rice flour - yummy) & premium drip coffee for our breakfast. Good location - Mt. Aso, Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine, Takachiho.

For the most part, I enjoyed my stay at this hostel. It has a well stocked kitchen, clean shower and toilets, has a warm and friendly feeling and you get to meet lots of other travellers. The location is great. Close to the castle and in a quiet neighbourhood. Laundry is only 100 yen, and they have a balcony where your clothes can drip dry (or a dryer if you're in a rush). I love that your towel gets changed daily.

Brilliant! A lovely, beautifully decorated and extremely comfy hostel in Kumamoto (a little away from the centre, but a fairly short walk from multiple train stations). Lots of space, both in the rooms and in the common areas. You could really relax and enjoy a home away from home. Incredibly kind, friendly and helpful host, too. I wish every hostel/guesthouse were as amazing as this one!

A convenient base for visiting Aso. What you expect - a small, clean guesthouse in a quiet suburb a few minutes’ walk from Aso station. Helpful information provided (by owner and on the wall) about local attractions, timetables etc.
