Hostels in Kamimashiki District

"Beautiful modern hotel with excellent facilities and customer service. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Kumamoto."

"Great place"

"The hotel seems fairly new and was very clean. Moreover, the location is right by a tram stop, and is a very short walk to a lot of restaurants and stores, including a nice Shinshigai (large covered shopping area) that is across the street. Only about a 20 minute walk to Kumamoto Castle as well. The bed was very firm, which some might not like, but I thought it was good."

"Ofuro"

"Property js centrally located.. while rooms are quite small, it is well designed with all amenities. Breakfast spread was unexpectedly good."

"This hotel was spacious. The toilet was outside of the bathroom, which was nice. The view of the river that we had was lovely and their elevator was super fast. Amenities were all free at the front. There was coffee in the lobby but we didn’t know it was for us. Nobody explained that. The cups were so tiny though - you needed 3 cups!!! There was a fridge, hairdryer, and a large TV. If you don’t have mobility issues, it’s less than a 10 minute walk to major shopping, which was all under cover. This was lovely because it was pouring down rain the day we arrived. Clearly the local town is very helpful as we were stuck in the rain. A lady pulled over and gave us her personal umbrella because she felt bad that we were struggling to walk from the tran stop to this hotel. It was a bit of a struggle and out of the way, even after taking the tram as close as we could (number 6) The beds were super comfy. It was really updated and the pillows were great as well. It was about a half an hour walk from the station to the hotel if you were up for the walk"

"Spent 9 nights during golden week 2025. Hotel is located on top of a shopping mall and a 3min walk to the main shopping arcade. Tram lines are 3 min walk. Bus terminal is underneath the hotel. Reception is on 14th floor, with hotel rooms located on floors 5-13. No room service. Staff are helpful. Many restaurants in short walking distance."

"It’s a one minute walk round the corner from a huge covered shopping arcade. Lots of food options. The whole check in and check out process was easy. The staff helpfully kept our luggage when we arrived in the morning. The room was very well designed with everything we needed. The breakfast buffet was nice, a mix of Japanese and western breakfast. They included some local dishes which was a nice touch."

"7mins walk to tram station, 5mins walk to 7-11 store. Not in the city center but quite."
