We wanted to check out Kusasenrigahama, hike the Kuju Mountains and then go to Kurokawa Onsen Town, and this was the perfect spot for the first leg of our trip because it is so convenient to the Makinoto Pass Trailhead. The room itself is spacious and peaceful, with large windows overlooking green rolling hills. Beds are so comfy, including the duvet and cover. There was a long desk along the windows, great if you need to do some work or writing. The staff is great, and the western style of the restaurant and lobby is fun.

I can only rate this place as 10/10. It's what you would expect from a Ryokan, and more. Specifically, i'd say two things are better than other great Ryokan, the onsen (private suites with windows that can be opened to "transform" the main room into a rotemburo at will) and the kaiseki dinner, where chu-toro, basashi and marbled beef were on the menu. Apart from an extensive sake menu. Other than that, the owners / team managing it are super nice and helpful. Perfect place to enjoy before/after an Aso trek.

Very cool facilities, beautiful area, and amazing host. He helped me find places to eat and visit. Even made me tea and other small gifts!
Great views. Great trip. Only disappointment is the blue "lake" in Nakadake Crater. All the pictures show the "lake" while to my understanding it was destroyed during the 2016 earthquake. It was what drawn my attention to this location to begin with, so it was disappointing not seeing it. All these pictures should be replaced with what currently is there, not what used to be there.

Unfortunately access to the crater is still prohibited due...
Unfortunately access to the crater is still prohibited due to the risk of toxic gases, but the surrounding area is impressive. For those keen on a hard nature walk you can walk up the steep trail of the neighbouring peak and look down into the crater from there. Allow a good half a day or more to do this!

El Patio is in a beautiful part of Aso National Park and the room had an amazing view. It’s quiet and feels connected to the environment. The horses and the stables gave the whole place a rustic and Western vibe. The food was warm and hearty, perfect for cold winter nights. The staff were so kind and helpful, they were worried my rental car did not have winter tires (I stayed during a snow storm) and went to lengths notifying me in advance and making sure I would be safe driving on the roads.
The house is a beautiful traditional Japanese house with a shared onsen bath and a private one that you can book for free. The room is clean and cozy with a window looking out to a Japanese garden. Food was exceptional! We were served homemade miso soup and home grown rice which were absolutely delicious. The meals also include many local ingredients and dishes like horse meat, local beef, trout and seasonal veggies. Highly recommended if you want a traditional ryokan experience 👍
Staff were able to communicate with guests in simple English. A self help pantry was available to provide hot water and coffee for free. A dinning room with a big table and a living room with very comfortable environment were provided. Washing machines and drying machines were charged at reasonable price. All in all, I like this hotel very much and shall revisit this hotal in future in chances come. Parking is provided for free.
I feel a bit concern of resort quality by reading review from many sources. But it is over my expectation, resort is great with super value price. Resort is big with many facilities: hot springs, pool, restaurant, shop with great scenic of Aso mountain. Room is also great with restroom and bath inside (yes many hotel or ryokan have no bath include if they have onsen in public but with this hotel u have option for clean urself)
Very pleasant stay. Well kept and maintained hotel. Staff was very polite and patient with a non English speaking family. Breakfast and dinner spread was decent. Shared baths took some getting used to (as a foreigner), but quite enjoyed it thereafter, to also partake in Japanese culture. Love the spacious tatami rooms with gorgeous views (we booked the upsized larger rooms). Futon beds were perfect for family with toddlers.
The hotel is in the golf resort, located near the west Aso mountain. It is about 10 min driving distance from the downtown train station and 30 min from the Aso summit. Great location if you want to seek a quiet and peaceful experience in winter.
Bath hall is at the separate building, the hot spring is definitely a must-visit.
Breakfast and dinner buffet are nice. A little pricy but worthwhile.
The room was spacious for a dormitory type, we were very comfortable during our stay. The room and the whole place feels cozy and felt like you're actually in your own home. It's a wonderful place to stay in Aso which is conveniently located near the station and the place is very clean as well. The staff were great and helpful too! I would stay there again of I ever come back to Aso.
I really wasn’t sure about my booking when U got off the quick train ride from Aso Station but once I went inside and was warmly greeted I knew I had made a good choice. The facility is clean, the food plentiful and delicious, and really everything else was just great. I very much enjoyed my stay.

Loved the location. The host was very kind, with many kind gifts and attentions for the guests. We loved the discounted tickets for the Onsen closeby and all the advices on what to do on a rainy day on Aso.
Everything is very clean.
Futon beds were quite comfortable.
Charming ryōkan (even if iit is a minshuku….) with beautiful private baths. The dinner and the breakfast were both delicious and generous with local specialities. Very convenient to explore Aso and the region. We have been lucky to find a room here.
Auntie Tomo is an amazing host, and will inform you about Aso, and the city around her house if that is where you intend to go. The house has a few other rooms but once you go to retire to yours, you hardly notice the others.
Our first time staying at a traditional Japanese inn. My daughter had done the research and chosen the spot. The location was amazing and I would definitely stay there again. The breakfast and onsen were fantastic!
The staff is enthusiastic and kind. Although the bathroom and toilet are shared, they provide a private room. For such a price in the area, I think everything's reasonable.
We could fit a family of 5 pax in one room which is very hard to find in Aso . The big family room had a toilet, en-suite and toilet in the room with excellent WiFi.
