Best Hotels near Mt. Eboshi, Minamiaso

On April 11, 2022, I had lunch in Kowloon. From there, drive to Sherpa in Kumamoto City to finish your shopping, then drive along Prefectural Route 36. Climb the outer rim of Mt. Aso. Arrive at the observatory (Mt. Omine and Takayubaru plateau). You can overlook the city of Kumamoto from here. This observatory is called ``Mt. Arrive at Hotel Greenpia Minami Aso where you will stay on this day. The parking lot is very large. Hotel Greenpia Minamiaso is a hotel located in Hisaishi, Minamiaso Village, Aso County, Kumamoto Prefecture. A bronze statue stood at the entrance. The inside of the building looks like this. The lobby is large. On this day, I was in a room on the 3rd floor and moved by elevator. After getting off the elevator, it's too far to the room (sweat;) Large hotels don't like this. far. It's a promised ”grandmother who can't open the key” twin room, and an extra bed is also installed. The scenery from the window is like this. Of all the rooms we stayed in, it has one of the best views (bitter smile) refrigerator. TV and kettle. Safe in the closet. Wash basin. The toilet has a warm water seat. I probably won't use it because I'm going to the public bath, but there is also a bathtub. It is troublesome that wifi has to register an e-mail address with ”Kumamoto free wifi”. I was able to connect at 35 Mbps here within the Rakuten Mobile range. The best bath is the open-air bath where you can enjoy this view. The quality of the spring was colorless and transparent, and it did not look like a hot spring. Dinner is at the restaurant. There was a lot more than I thought in the Viking format. However, since it was the cheapest course, it became a ”buffet without a main dish” (sweat;) Tsure was mainly curry rice. The dessert made me hungry (laughs). The next morning, there was already a line at the breakfast venue. Breakfast is also buffet style. My grandmother is even more voluminous than I am (laughs), and the second time is Western food (laughs). Overnight at Hotel Greenpia Minami Aso. I could see the volcanic smoke of Mt. Nakadake from my room. It's 6:00, so I head to the dinner hall. On this day, I tried curry rice as the main dish. Grandmother made soba the main dish. The next morning we checked out and drove on.

The front desk is an old-fashioned inn style. The slippers that enter the eye as soon as they enter the room are dirt and heel cut off, and even if the paper of ”disinfected” is riding, it is hesitant to wear today. The hand towel for hot springs is not dedicated to oneself who entered the vinyl, but washed and used. The room and the shared space are not deteriorated, but I felt that I was working hard in the double punch of the earthquake and corona. The bath is divided into ”dondoyu” which can take a day trip bath and a hot spring dedicated to guests. ”Dondoyu” is located at the hotel front desk, looking at the vast garden, and walking 2,3 minutes through the crossing corridor where there is a rabbit hut on the way. There was an open-air bath that had been boldly made in the garden, and there was an open-air bath that had been pulled out of hot water due to corona, but the large open-air bath was put in a source. In the morning, ”dondoyu” was closed, so I went to the guest only, but I was able to enjoy it at a hot spring with a wide 々 with an open-air bath. As for the meal, breakfast was normal, but dinner was great. Especially the red beef pottery plate was amazing, and such a delicious steak was not eaten easily. The overall evaluation is 3.5 points. If you close your eyes to oldness, it is a hotel that can be satisfied enough.

Service was impeccable. This is a traditional Japanese style hotel (Ryokan), and we stayed in a separate house with private onsen bath room, living room and bedroom, as well as a small terrace. The room was excellent. Meals were sent to your room by friendly staff. Food was fantastic.

The hotel is very new and the room is very clean. All the equipment is very friendly, and each bed has a power plug and USB plug at the end of the bed. The bathroom has a large bathtub and a toilet that is large enough for one person to lie flat. The only thing is that there is nothing near the hotel, the traffic is inconvenient, the nearest convenience store is about 10 minutes walk. Hotel for self-driving people.

The farm house is very special. They are like small mushrooms, colorful, and the scenery in the mountains is also good. The farm is very large. You can take a free bus to your room to stay in the hotel and you can soak in the volcano hot springs for free. The farm has many activities, but the guests are very very Less, so most of them are closed. Breakfast and dinner at the hotel. Local buffet horse sashimi is good. But the general feeling is general, the first price is expensive, the price is low, and the second transportation is extremely inconvenient. From Beppu in the past, you must first take JR to Aso, then take a bus, and then change a taxi to reach. The third room has average facilities and there is no Wi-Fi in the room. It is generally not recommended to book this accommodation. Now Aso volcano has been erupting, so it is not possible to enter the volcano, so it is recommended that you do not have to visit here recently.

We are so happy we booked this hotel for heading to Mt Aso. First, the staff greeting was super warm and welcoming. The hotel is brand new and while our room was a great and functional design, the bed was the most comfortable western-style bed we’ve had in all of Japan! It’s location is super convenient if you arrive by train (it’s across the street) and while they don’t really have dining facilities, there is a fun outdoor market right outside where we grabbed dinner: meat skewers, mustard greens biscuit and a delicious craft beer (there is also ramen and a few other food choices).

When we close our eyes and imagine the quintessential Japanese luxury ryokan, Takachiho Ryokan Shinsen is among the first properties that springs to our mind. It represents everything awesome about the best ryokans with almost zero drawbacks, and we departed from Shinsen awestruck at how perfect every aspect of our stay was. From the incredible Omotenashi service, gorgeous gardens, architectural elegance, spacious and beautiful villa room, mind-blowing kaiseki cuisine to the terrific private open-air Onsen bath, everything about Shinsen emphatically screams ”destination ryokan.” Shinsen is a family-owned property with a total of just 15 rooms among 3 separate areas: the Honkan (main), Bekkan and Hanare. They are within 1-minute walking distance form one another, and each area has its own unique character - the landscaping is fascinating, as well as the various private dining rooms that are in each building. For instance, in front of the Honkan main entrance is a dry rock garden that is reminiscent of the famed Ryoan-ji in Kyoto, while in the Bekkan it has that plus a variety of perfectly manicured vegetation as well as a small, red-painted traditional-style bridge. The private dining rooms each have its own character as well as views out of the window; we especially loved the view from one of the Bekkan ”Ko****su” rooms during our dinner on the second evening - the window faces the garden, which is lit up from the ground, resulting in a mesmerizing view of the rock garden patterns, mysterious trees and the pretty red bridge. For every meal (whether it's for breakfast or dinner), they escorted us from our room to a different private dining room located in various locations throughout the property. We spent all 3 nights in a room called ”Manyo,” a detached villa that was located in the Hanare section of Shinsen. Ms. Kumi Sato, the charming and elegant ”Okami-san” (Proprietress) mentioned that Manyo is the best room at the property. It's a generous 100m² in size, and thoroughly modern with all of the creature comforts that one would expect at a top-flight luxury hotel. Manyo's room consisted of a bedroom with two double Western-style beds, a living room with a sofa, coffee table and a large, flat-screen television, and a Japanese-style tatami room as well. It's an open floor plan, although each section of the room can be closed off by sliding the walls shut for privacy (or peace and quiet.) Very versatile! The Villa had a large patio with a beautiful zen-style rock garden beyond it. Off to the side is an outdoor, free-flowing Onsen (hot springs) bath made of Hinoki wood. Next to the Onsen (and inside the Villa) is the vanity, toilet and indoor (regular) bath and shower. The layout of the Villa, as well as the furnishings and decor was all top-notch - the perfect setting to have a lengthy, relaxing stay in the Villa should you opt not to explore the Takachiho area. If there is one minor nitpick, it has to do with the lack of dual sinks,

A remote entrance like an old private house. There is an atmosphere. Stay in the desired type. There was an open-air bath and an inner bath, and the open-air bath overlooking Mt. Aso was the best, and there was an enclosure, so I can't see it. The room is two-way and wide 々, and the amenities are also substantial. The whole room is clean as a new building. In the morning and evening, you will be given a private room in front of Kagura dono. The coldest time in February, the air conditioner was not very effective, and the foot was very cold, so I asked you to lend me a knee hanger, but it was thin, so I felt grateful to prepare a thick one. I did. The remote control of the air conditioner was not shared or in the private room. Because Nakai is older, it took time every time I asked for something. Before dinner, there was a Japanese drum dance at Kagura dono. It was splendid. It was cold, but it is worth a look. (It is better to confirm only on Saturdays and days.) The dishes were usually delicious. There was a long slope to go to the room away from the mother shop. Drinking around and flapping down! Watch out. It was an inn I wanted to stay again.

As Takachiho Gorge is comparatively hard to get to we felt much better staying in Takachiho for a night. And it's great to find a modern hotel in Takachiho, the front desk was nice and helpful, note that it is such a small town and dining options are not a lot so I would recommend have dinner and breakfast at the hotel. Hotel has a large parking lot and breakfast is great (a bit wait in the morning during peak time)
