Loved the location of this hotel. Beautiful view of the castle. We were within walking distance of downtown but a little off the main street so it was a bit quieter. The hotel had a really nice traditional breakfast every morning. The staff was super helpful and polite. Very very helpful in finding things around Kumamoto. I really enjoyed my time in Kumamoto. Thank you KKR.
Lovely experience and great views. the staff was very helpful and kind. close to shopping and lots of food, nice and easy walk everywhere. amazing hotel!!
Breakfast is excellent for Japanese and the Kumamoto castle’s view from the room and from the cafeteria for breakfast is gorgeous.
This hotel is 5 min walk from city hall, shopping/restaurant area and bus and street train stations.
Very good location to visit Kumamoto Castle on foot, and fantastic view of Castle is also available from the room. Major commercial district Ginaza Touri is also located in walking distance.
My family had a great stay in a castle-view room. It was spectacular! The location cannot get better, with major malls and restaurants less than 700 meters away. The staff was very courteous. What a refreshing change from all these unattended/automated hotels.
The hotel looks right out at the castle. Walking across the street is the park and an incredible art museum. Shopping is in walking distance. The staff were so helpful. There are places to sit and relax. The bed was comfortable and the room clean.
Perfect location to see Kumamoto Castle - Make sure to book a castle view room!! Great breakfast, and convenient location. Beautiful rooftop garden for amazing views.
I loved this hotel. The staff were very friendly to my husband and sister and I. The breakfast was delicious, I loved how I was able to have a wonderful Japanese traditional breakfast. It was also very convenient to walk to Kumamoto Castle. It was very quiet, spacious, clean, and I felt safe! I will be staying again!
The hotel Exceeded my expectations. We will return again.

The rooms with a view of the Kumamoto Castle are amazing at night as well as day. One of the Top 3 castles in Japan is literally across the street from the hotel. The all you can eat breakfast buffet had the best Japanese selection. Parking was easy without having to go to the basement.
