Just idyllic. Couldn't hope for a better place to stay. Views of Aso, easy to access by car, cosy and comfortable. We wish we'd stayed longer. Incredible value!

The stove was a little bit hard to work but apart from that it was great

Spectacular location and a very cute little house to stay in. It was warm and friendly, right beside a little farm and near to Mt Aso

nothing. cannot request for more, greedy :)

good experience living in local house. simple but fully equipment. breakfast is delicious and with smile serving ;). very cheap too. the location is not easy to find on map until the property owner sent the gps location and it was exactly the house located.

Nothing, absolutely loved it!

Lovely wooden cottage south of Mount Aso. Really nice atmosphere and run by a very kind host who helped us get to and from the train station. Comes with all the facilities you need including a washing machine. Do make sure you have a car when you go here, we did not have one and it made some travel to the volcano a bit challenging (though taxi / hitchhiking did the trick)

Difficult to find the place after sunset, better set a signpost that can reflect light at night, as the isolated house are in total darkness and outside have no light, hope this can be improved.

speedy charging device is welcome. Nice and comfortable, nice view.

Having to leave! We stayed one night but would have loved another!

We LOVED our stay here. LOVED! The view is just beautiful and next to the house is a flower garden and vegetable patch. The house is modest but lovely. I wish we had more time there. If you can afford the time I recommend an extra night! We didn't meet the guy who runs it but we met his mum who is so kind, she brought toys and books for our son to play with and gave him delicious home made cakes. Communication was great. They did everything they could to make us as comfortable and welcome as possible. Just wonderful.

We drove by the cottage the first time and stopped about 100 meters ahead. Then we were approached by some local people, one of which was the owners mother. They were super friendly and she guided us to the correct location. There was a nice big spot to park our car directly in front of the cottage. We had diner at the table outside and enjoyed the night sky. From here you have great views of mount Aso and also the surrounding edges of the caldera. Great experience and one of our best rural stays in Japan. Thanks to the owner and his mother for their hospitality and kindness!

Everything was perfect for a week-end in the country side. If you want to have a break from the big cities in your Japan roadtrip Soils is the perfect place. You can go to a real cute market place where everything is from the farms around, such a nice moment. The owners were nice and careful. From our arrival to the departure they were here to take care of us if we needed anything. Thank you very much for your time and kindness.

Set amongst the farm yard, its a bit messy outside, but only compared to the Japanese hotels.

Its was a lovely place to relax in the country side without too much fuss. The cabin had everything we needed from a washing machine to comfortable enough to beds and room to move. The view was spectacular and the hosts were welcoming and friendly.

A bit difficult to get there at night, as there's not many street lights

Very cozy

Stayed in July 2023

No internet - I didn't need wifi but some travelers might depend on that more than me.

Perfect location! I loved the wonderful stocked kitchen to cook dinner, easy parking, washing machine and excellent views. I stayed here while hiking on Mt Aso for two days, and it was everything I needed. The beds are comfortable, the heater works well, and it has an authentic feeling which I absolutely loved. I just wish the skies would have cleared so I could see the stars.

Nice place and friendly owner, who speaks English. Great stop nearby to Aso.

Stayed in November 2022

Stay like a local farmer near Aso mount. Quiet place far from town. Large room with convenient thing. Kitchen , washing machine , microwave Mother owner cannot speak English but very helpful.

Stayed in October 2022

Aso town itself is a bit depressing. but nothing to do with house owner.

simple but comfortable. Very nice host. Gave us blueberry and tomato from their garden!

Even though it was such a cute cottage, I have to say it was quite dusty. The furniture had a thin layer of dust, and the toaster oven and the dishes above it were a bit unclean and oily as well. I think everything should have been cleaned a bit better before accepting guests.

What a cute small cottage with excellent views of the mountains!! Very cozy and felt like a great getaway from our busy lives. We really enjoyed our stay and the quiet area around. We went stargazing at night and took a lovely walk in the morning. We are already talking about coming back some time in the future!

The transformation of this garden shed, I suppose, isn't quite complete. Would require a bit of tidy up, throw some odd old dishes away as well as cumbersone dusty gadgets, and put a few more useful equipment within. The kitchen is the most basic (more like a kitchen, dont intend to cook within). Not as spacious as it could be with all the old gear present within.

Very quiet place, surrounded by nature and a big veggie garden.

Stayed in November 2024

Very unclean. Most forniture has been accumulating dust for years and not cleaned once. There were crushed animals inside the room that haven't been removed either.

Good view and peaceful.

Stayed in May 2024

The outside area is a mess as it is full of junk. Feel like a storage area. Major lack of cutlery. Things aren’t particularly clean.

Location. Surroundings of the place is very lovely. Convenient location. Easy to drive to the tourist spots. Owner seems nice.

The rain

It was as we expected, cluttered and not super clean, but it was warm and comfortable and had a great view. It was a quite area with no shops in walking distance. We wanted something rustic and unncorporate and this certainly fits the bill.

Owner is friendly and nice. View is great.
