Guest House Shizuho, a property with a shared lounge, is located in Takachiho, 2.2 km from Takachiho Gorge Freshwater Fish Aquarium, 7.4 km from Amanoiwato Shrine, as well as 43 km from Ogidake Park...

The owner was quite nice and helpful. We were going to the dance at the temple that evening, and he gave us information on when to leave and recommended walking over driving. I also asked him about a local grocery and he was able to help with that. The location was quite convenient. They had tea, coffee, a hot pot, and microwave available. Wi-fi worked well. The shared bathrooms were clean and seemed adequate for the number of guests.

Set in Takamori, 37 km from Egao Kenko Stadium Kumamoto and 46 km from Suizenji Park, Flower Garden offers a garden and air conditioning.

Very cozy room with a really friendly hostess. The hostess prepared a meal for me despite the restaurant being closed. In fact, all the restaurants in the viscinity were closed and it was raining heavily, so that was kind of a life-saver. I was in the area mostly to visit the Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine, and for that the location is as good as it gets. Buses go from Takamori station to the hotel every hour, but you could also walk (about 3.5 km). Shared bathroom and shower/bath, but I never noticed any of the other guest ( if there were any ). Everything was clean. The only issue was that only a tiny towel was provided. If you can, bring your own. Should be higher rated than it currently is, very nice place with a nice atmosphere.

    This B&B is very nice Japanese style accommodation: my room was a spacious and comfortable tatami room with balcony and bathroom attached. Breakfast room and common area was well equipped and breakfast was satisfying. Host Yasu speaks good English and is ready to provide any information you need.

    The person running the hotel was very sweet. The guest house was large and had everything you would need. Had a great traditional feel to it. We loved it. It was perfect for visiting Takachiho gorge the next morning. Great location.
