Offering a terrace and a shared lounge, Minshuku Hiroshimaya in Kumamoto is close to Hosokawa Residence Gyobutei and Shimada Museum of Art.

The location and owners make this homestay special. The latter is at the foot of a historic and important Buddhist shrine and resting place of Kato Kiyomasa, builder of the Kumamoto Castle, while the former are generations-old family of soba makers. While breakfast didn't come with soba, it was one of the best I've eaten in Japan. The space is comfortable, traditional and has everything you may need, including excellent views of the city.

1.5 miles from Suizenji Park in Kumamoto, 民泊カフェ Gootarian offers accommodations with access to a fitness room. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking.

I liked how there was open spaces and cafe at the bottom of the room. I got to enjoy meaningful conversation with the owners and they were very nice. They are also very excited and proud of their property which is noticeable by the way they renovate and decorate the area.

Beautiful house and very comfortable. The host was very responsive and kind. The garden also had really nice light features! We found good local recommendations for restaurants in the brochures available in the kitchen.

    Warm and friendly towards every guests. Unlike other hostels, as long as you take the initiative, you get to know more about the locals staying in Kumamoto here through their frequent gatherings over the dinner time and they always welcome you. They even organised a takoyaki party for me and taught me how to cook it. Also inviting to join the bamboo shoot harvest! What a real experience that I appreciate so much! Highly recommended! Thanks!

    You come here for the price and you fall for the design. Smart contemporary Japanese beloved by both locals and aliens. The cafe and its quite large terrace are nice, and the locker room for your suitcase is a good idea indeed. Last but not least, location is better than good.
