Minamiaso hotels

Pros: Amazing and spacious room, with private onsen and view of Aso Mount. Delicious traditional breakfast served directly in our room.

Pros: Everything. Private onsen facing mount Aso, luxurious room and ammenities, and not to mention the in room breakfast. Location is not a relevant review question; yes it is not easily accessible, but it's meant to be, making a great getaway for city dwellers.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very friendly and warm welcome. Breakfast is super delicious and the view from the balcony is breathtaking. Room/villa is very clean and beautiful.

Pros: Excellent breakfast and dinner. Staffs are very friendly and helpful.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: 10/10 Everything was perfect. Staff were lovely!

Pros: Awesome place. Food was amazing (we are both vegetrians).

Pros: The whole environment

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The room was very modern and comfortable in an excellent setting. Meals were also very good. It was a good base to make day trips

Cons: The first 2 days we had breakfast and dinner eating Japanese style on the floor. We are both in our early 70’s and had great difficulty sitting cross legged at the table. The last day we had our meals at a “normal table” with chairs but were not told we had the option on the first day. The hot tub was very enjoyable but the washing area before the bath was also outdoors (with no internal shower). In the morning when it was 6 degrees, it was nippy cleaning before the tub. My wife would not have stayed if she would have been aware there was no indoor shower

Pros: Great place for family trip. Staff are very friendly. Hot spring is awesome. Child friendly.

Pros: In room onsen is nice. Public onsens are really nice. They rotate between the 2 public onsens so that you can try both. Food excellent

Cons: Massage chair should be free for ppl that stays in the hotel.

Pros: Nice service, dinner and breakfast

Pros: Beautiful location, surrounded by mountains, garden and mountain view from room! Surroundings are dotted with small country-cafes, serene and peaceful forest yet does not feel like you are by yourself as there are other beautiful low-rise vacation lodging nearby that does not block the view. Staff are earnest and some of the serving staff speaks Chinese, making it easy for Asian-based visitors. It is most convenient to drive as it is not quite in town. The hotel and rooms are very clean, actually tastefully furnished and great onsen bath! Love their outdoor bath! It is conveniently located to reach Mount Aso, Kurokawa Onsen, Kumamoto and etc.

Cons: Nothing! I would love to come back and stay for a month!

Pros: Good food,and huge room

Pros: View was great to see all Mt. Also from everywhere. From room, from hot springs, from relaxation space on the third floor. Staff were very kind.

Cons: Locker keys of hot spring changing room were too old and mostly broken. Except that, good value for money. Reasonable for money.

Pros: I booked a room with private onsen inside the room, It’s wonderful. Dinner is great!

Cons: It’s a bit far from Aso volcano but it doesn’t matter at all because of the view and the environment in the hotel.

Pros: Lovely onsen

Cons: A bit isolated, far from shops. Need to self drive to assess.

Cons: owners spoke er little english. We arrived at 4 pm and had to wait 2 h for check in. They made a lot of complains like not use the mobile phone in the dormitory but nobody was there , also other minor things. Did not had a good feeling .

Pros: I like the price and the parking area...

Cons: What I don’t like is, they didn’t provide more heaters on the whole house, except sleeping room.I feel that I don’t like to go out on my room because outside of the room is really so cold...

Pros: For us.. location wise are secluded which gave you a relax and quiet environment

Cons: Location wise a bit far from groceries shops. Otherwise, its ok if you are driving there

Pros: Everything was very well maintained and pretty new. Our room was great and cozy. Great communal area with big table and benches . What a shame we had only 1 day .

Pros: Thanks for accepting our late arrival after a long travel. Rooms are very typical in an actual Japanese house. Warm atmosphere in the shared dinning area

Cons: Only one bathroom, could be tight if house is fully booked.

Pros: Location and meal.

Cons: Cheap plastic cubicle bathroom. Poor WiFi connectivity. View from room only visible when standing up. Dated decor. Expensive for what is offered.

Pros: Onsen, the view

Cons: Amazing facility, amazing location and the onsen

Pros: Everything was great. The room, view, food, staff and onsen were top notch.

Pros: The view of Mount Aso the room size. the onsen was great too the sports hall but it was a bit distance and quiet

Cons: The buffet style dinner - was very ordinary. could have been better the room is a bit dated the bed is a bit too soft and pillow too low/hard

Pros: The three bed room with a view was spacious, much larger than other Japanese hotels.

Cons: The bathroom was tiny and confined - it was odd that the bathroom was so tiny when the room was so large. The step over and down from the bathroom was dangerous. The shower was uncomfortable and the towels were skimpy.

Pros: Provide super nice n tasty vegetarian dinner course

Pros: The service is freindly and Casual. its a good value for money

Cons: The beds were bit hard and used.

Pros: 1. The beautiful views (be warned the hotel is quite out of the way, but I liked it that way). Could see the smoking volcano from the rooms. 2. Friendly reception staff 3. Quaint feel of an era gone by 4. Blasting strong heating that greeted us when we entered from the cold outside 5. Nice view from outdoor onsen pool

Cons: 1. Price was very high for what was offered 2. Breakfast and dinner quality could be improved (definitely not worth the high price paid)

Pros: Moutain view is spectacular. The hotel is isolated, quiet, so peaceful. The dining room is decorated resembling those found in “Black Forest” of Germany. Breakfast and dinner were reasonable.

Cons: Public baths were too crowded. Some users were visitors who did not stay at the hotel. Beds were bumpy!

Cons: The hotel is a little run down and the public, larger Onsen needs work that is still in the construction phase although no one was working on it ..

Pros: There is a convenience store (LAWSON) just opposite to the hotel. The location is rather convenient for visitors who want to visit the Aso Volcano. Staff were friendly and helpful. The public hot spring facilities were quite good.

Cons: The facilities were a bit old and unclean. The sign outside the public hot spring indicated that it opens till 24:00, we originally wanted to go there at 23:00 but the corridor lights of our floor were already completely off at 23:00 (100% dark without ANY lights), which was quite strange indeed.

Pros: The best service is the public baths. There are 2, one inside the building and another one just outside. The personal was really kind, nice familiar atmosphere, the breakfast was good.

Cons: The building is quite old and the hotel isolated but there is bus stop just in front of.

Pros: The hotel itself is great. Really good located in case you have a (rental) car. Btw you need a car for Aso and all other locations otherwise you will loose a lot time with traveling. From the hotel you cab reach the main vulcano within 30 minutes and the Takachiho valley/ canyon is just 60 minutes away by car. The onsen of the hotel is very nice as well and the breakfast is great too. We had a room with a view on the vulcano, really cool!

Cons: The room was equipped quite well, but the combination in regards to practically could be better. We had two big bags with us and the required space for opening them was sped for unnecessary furbiture.

Pros: Breakfast and dinner.

Cons: Room did not smell nice. Not a word of English although mentioned as spoken language.

Pros: The room was.clean and tidy. The dinner and breakfast served were good. The staffs were very polite and helpful.

Cons: The rooms was rather small. It was rather troublesome to change to sandals before you can enter the hotel area. There is no elevator, so it was rather tough to carry big and heavy luggage up the stairs to the room. There is no place within walking distance to get food unless you eat in the hotel. The nearest mall is about 3min drive away. I did not see any public bus outside the hotel too.

Pros: Scenary and you can enjoy morning walk nearby

Cons: Nil

Pros: horrible place. run down

Pros: Onsen are great.

Cons: Some activities are closed during my stay and some just opened in very short period, for example the sport center open 17:00-19;00.

Pros: Many Outdoor Onsen baths are very nice.

Cons: Hard to find Check-In place. Parking Lot is VERY FAR from the Check-In place. Had to carry everything from the Car to the Room by ourselves, which is quite FARRR. Food is so so.

Pros: Various activities

Cons: -Difficult to find the check-in reception. -Long distance from parking lot to the hotel -No staff helping us carry the luggages from parking lot to reception and reception to room. -old and small room -staff cannot speak English and no service mind

Pros: Onsen was the best. Staff were nice and try hard. Beautiful views. Great buffet meals. Cute set up.

Cons: Location remote, residence parking far from check in and rooms. Very few people stayed in our area - we may have been the only ones. I find it hard to believe there were only 3 rooms left. From what we saw there were hundreds upon hundreds of vacancies. Use of disposable utensils in poor taste and bad for the planet.

Pros: Good for family travel.

Pros: the facilities, but most of which come with additional charge

Cons: The rooms lack maintenance, feels old, not really worth the price. the food was pretty average. the staff at the reception was quite poker face.
