Places to Stay in Kikuchi

We arrived quite late at night but the uncle at reception was so kind & nice. Simple check in process & there is some parking charge (forgot the fee but we paid together during check in). It's more like business hotel and suitable in case you only need a place to stop by for a night.

Loved the ease and convenience of the location, the cleanliness of the rooms and the facilities, and the absolutely excellent staff that works there! One of the best places to stay when moving through Kyushu! Will definitely stay there and other R9s again!

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.

Very spacious and has everything you need.

Kikuchi Mirai Base is about 2 miles away from Kikuchi Park. Kikuchi City is only 30-40 minute drive away from Aso Skyline Observatory and between 40-50 minute drive from Kumamoto Castle.

Mouth watering breakfast and dinner. Hospitable owners ensured we had a good stay at this ryokan.
