Situated in Kumamoto, 2.4 km from Suizenji Park, 旅の途中 On the trip features accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a shared lounge and a bar. Located around 6.9 km from Hosokawa Residence Gyobutei, the hostel with free WiFi is also 7.1 km away from Egao Kenko Stadium Kumamoto. The property is non-smoking and is set 5.4 km from Kumamoto Castle. I had an amazing stay at On The Trip – truly one of the most comfortable hostels I’ve ever been to! My room was small but very cozy, private, and had the authentic feel of Japan. The whole place is stylish, clean, and full of Japanese vibes. They even provided me with a fresh set of towels after a few days and prepared food for me on my last day, which was such a thoughtful touch. The owners are incredibly kind, friendly, and always ready to help – truly wonderful people! I felt very welcome and am extremely grateful for the time I spent here. I’m honestly sad to leave and would love to come back again. As for the location – it’s not right in the city center, but there are several bus stops nearby, so getting around is very easy. And for One Piece fans, this hostel is a perfect choice – the Luffy statue is just a pleasant 30-minute walk away, and from there it’s also easy to reach some other statues. Thank you very much for such a great experience, On The Trip – this place will always stay in my heart ❤️

Set in Tamana, 20 km from Hirayama Hot Spring, HIKE offers air-conditioned accommodation and a shared lounge. The property is around 24 km from Hosokawa Residence Gyobutei, 25 km from Kumamoto Castle and 29 km from Suizenji Park. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests.

With a shared bathroom fitted with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at the hostel also have free WiFi, while selected rooms also offer a mountain view. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The room was large and clean. Our room was the family room with a decent sized playhouse inside where the kids play and even sleep. The building is old, but has been remodeled and is comfortable. The baked goods in the cafe on the 1st floor are delicious, and the cafe is whimsical and charming. There’s a kid’s playroom at the back of the cafe which was great for us, a group with lots of kids. There are also many ceramic wares by local artists for sale. I’d like to visit when the weather is cooler and explore the neighborhood.
