With a shared lounge, the 3-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a shared bathroom. The property is non-smoking and is set 6.1 km from Suizenji Park. Being my first time in Japan, I didn't know what to expect from the hostels. However, the location was absolutely amazing. The hostel is directly opposite the train station. The hostel also offers a luggage service and a bike rental service. You absolutely must rent a bike. I am an anime guy and riding on a bike around Kumamoto felt like a 12 episode anime hahah. The people in Kumamoto were very friendly and Kumamoto is one of my top 5 places in Japan. The hostel also offered traditional clothing, which I was so grateful for.

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.
