This inn is the best experience for historic Japanese living. I would say out of my 18 days in Japan this in and it's staff was the most memorable. Set atop the stairs to a temple with historic architecture and atmosphere you get a real experience of historic Japan. The location is perfect for sightseeing along with nightlife with many things to do and see. Saving the best for last the staff was so personal and attending it was more like visiting family then staying at an inn. The owner Yoko was very personable and caring, attending to any need you might have. Meals were made in the kitchen and at times could be a setting for a king and the costs was more like a tip then a charge. I will miss staying there and spending time around the inn. I would HIGHLY recommend this above anywhere else for someone who wants to experience historic Japan.

The place is beautifully decorated and the owner was really kind. It was a good place to stay for a night, not very social between the people staying. The room was small but there was a lot of space in the common area to relax.

I liked how there was open spaces and cafe at the bottom of the room. I got to enjoy meaningful conversation with the owners and they were very nice. They are also very excited and proud of their property which is noticeable by the way they renovate and decorate the area.

I loved that they had a rental bike for 500 yen. I biked all the way out to the Nami statue one day, and all around Kumamoto. They also had an area in the hall that was perfect for reading a book at night.

This was a very charming guesthouse and the hosts were just delightful. We were very impressed with the size of the room (enormous, by Japanese standards). Everything was impeccable.

    Lovely stay in Kumamoto! Near a tram stop, easily walkable into the city center and to the train station. Room was small but fit all my luggage without issue. Hostel generally was clean and quiet, and the common room was great to sit in for a while in the evenings. The wifi connection was strong throughout the building.

    The hosts were exceptionally kind. I mentioned I planned on hiking near Mt Aso and they prepared a lunch for me two days in a row. They upgraded my room as I was the only person staying there, drove me to the store and the station when I didn't have a car, and did everything to make me feel welcome. The location was incredible and quiet, with stunning views of Kumamoto and a beautiful guesthouse. I can't thank them enough for their kindness!
