Lodges in Aso

We stayed for 2 nights at Hokkoma cottage and loved our stay. The property itself was wonderful, had everything we needed and felt like home. Our trip was focused on taking advantage of Aso's beautiful nature and the cottage's location allowed us to do this. It was also great to know that there was a large bath to use after the hike to soak our tired legs!

The husband and wife team running this property is amazing. Their breakfast was prepared and served with pride, and attention to detail. I love the little touches in their tea room. A piano, shelves of books and interesting paraphernalia all contribute to a wonderful homey British countryside vibe. The vast space outside the property includes a hammock and an observatory. The owner is happy to bring you to explore the stars at 8pm there. Our teens had great fun there. We are an entourage of 7 including an elderly who ocassionally uses the wheelchair. We didnt find it hard to get around the property. We love the space of the bedrooms and the privacy of this whole compound. Also love the private onsen where you had to walk just 2 min out(still within the compounds) and you have the whole place to yourself for 50 minutes i think? It was basic but comforting. Just the thing to unwind to after a long day driving around. Booking required. Please note the dinner has to be booked 2 days in advance. We forgot about it and regretted since the breakfast was so yummy.

Quiet spacious forest like wooden cottage. Payable private onsen reservation required. Owner friendly. Needs a car to access. Big room enough for 4 persons. Plenty of parking place near our cottage.

We loved everything about this place. Scenic, very generous breakfast and dinner. Roomy for a family of four. The onsen was stunning and an absolute highlight.
