Nice little guesthouse for few days, it is actually a 30min walk from train station if u dont have a car, if you are lucky there is sometime a bus going from the guesthouse to the train station, Google maps time was accurate. Good value for money, and good location if u want to explore a little bit Minamiaso Valley which is quite beautifull also (don't just do Aso it's overcrowded) i think they can help you for hiking place around or what to do in the Valley. Bunk beds are confortable and there is a kitchen and fridge to store food.

It's unclear who is the staff to help / who is the family that lives here, we sometime had the impression to disturb them in the common area.. we felt a little bit watched at some point. The old men is entering the dorm to show people which bed they are, even if it's empty you can't chose your bed. Is also moving your stuff if it's not in a "correct place" ?! That's quite unusual ..

Very nice place. Very good price, I paid 1700yens for the night and 300 to use the dryer. The house is clean, the lady who manage the house is nice. Very good for travelling. I hiked from Aso station to this place, crossing Aso moutain. Very nice but difficult hike (20km and 1200m d+ and d-). The south path to go down the moutain was closed so I couldn t finish the hike, but some japanese took me in their care. So if you want to hike, double check every path in japanese official gouvernemental map (with yamap is ok), because the tourist information in Aso was not awared at all about hiking.

It's not really a drawback because it's not the fault of the house : but if you have no car, be carefull with the food, everything near by was closed after 6pm. I was lucky to find nice Dutch poeple that took me in their care to get some food.

Located in the caldera of Mount Aso: very easy access to great hikes and landscapes. Enough car park spots for everyone without reservation.

You will need a car to get here, but you also do want a car to get around the caldera so it's not a problem directly linked to the accommodation. One toilet/shower for many rooms. Many big insects outside the building, be careful at night

The room was spacious and clean, the futon was comfy enough. Hosts were nice, feels like if you were living in their house (I mean... that's a bit the case). The view on the mountains was super nice. That's a bit in the middle of nowhere but can't complain at all, if you go here it's to be in the middle of nowhere anyway. Still not too far from a few beautiful places (by car). Bonus point they have cute cats.

The fridge and microwave could be a bit cleaner...

The room is very spacious. Free use of kitchen to prepare meals. Quiet place surrounded by village with paddy fields. Short walking distance from the bus stop provided you manage to catch the local bus timetable.

Restaurants are not within reach. Have to walk some distance and it close early.

- Convenient Location - Parking available - English speaking stuff - Cheap for the area - laundry available

- It was said the one could order dinner (and there was free breakfast expected I think?) but none was in place - The room smells a bit but one gets used to it after a while

Value for money, the room is quite spacious, with laundry faculties

There is no towel in the room. And the staff who checked us cannot communicate with us in English and also sick (without wearing a face mask), this is later address by another staff stepping in

We loved this small town, and although we had a full day of rain so we couldn't travel, we found the room to be very cozy and the kitchen facilities useful

You need to have a vehicle to get to the nearest convenience store

Located in a gorgeous spot with a spectacular view of the mountains in the morning. As soon as my friend and I saw the location we made sure to book a second night. The interior was cozy and the staff were both helpful and friendly.

It's a little hard to access if you do not have a car. Otherwise, everything was clean, the owners were nice and the laundry machine is free to use. The only thing is that there is only one shower to use so you often have to wait.
