Senomoto Kogen Hotel, hotel in Minamioguni

Situated in Minamioguni, 32 km from Mount Aso, Senomoto Kogen Hotel features accommodation with a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.

it's a place more convenient for self-drive although they do have a fixed shuttle timing every day to fetch check-in customers. it was kid friendly and we could even find baby yukata for our 2yo toddler complete with shoes that fit her feet too. stayed in the new wing which was clean and had a lovely view as well. dinner buffet was also provided but it paled in comparison to our onsen hotels in hokkaido. one thing great was the free flow alcohol which many evidently enjoyed. they also had an ice cream machine. stargazing event was lovely, but do take note to dress warmly (some guests decided not to go out of the hotel due to the strong winds).

Hanare no Yado Hanagokoro, hotel in Minamioguni

40 km from Mount Aso in Minamioguni, Hanare no Yado Hanagokoro offers accommodation with access to a hot spring bath, public bath and open-air bath.

We really enjoyed our stay. We booked a room with its own outside onsen tub, which was excellent. As we had our own private onsen, we did not use the common bathing facilities. As there are no restaurants anywhere near the hotel, we ate both breakfast and dinner at the hotel each day. They prepared different meals for us each time, and the meal presentation and taste were outstanding. The staff were also excellent, and attended to our every request. Several staff members were able to speak English as we can't speak any Japanese. The location is a bit out of town along a winding forest road. It would be impossible to get to the hotel without a car and google maps. With the meals our stay was somewhat expensive but we would definitely stay again when we are in the area.

Kurokawa Onsen Yama no Yado Shinmeikan, hotel in Minamioguni

Kurokawa Onsen Yama no Yado Shinmeikan features 5 hot-spring baths, including a 30-metre long cave bath.

Location is in a quaint onsen town with plenty of onsen to try. You can get the pass that last for 6 months 3 onsen or 2 onsen/ snack at the information centre. We got free access to the sister hotel /onsen just for staying here. The kaiseki meal on the first night was insane. The sake was incredible. The server from Myanmar was great and very friendly. Room was warm and futons comfortable, the view was also great. Onsen choice at this ryokan was also amazing, especially the outdoor onsen, we booked it twice. My husband is very tall and they were able to give him a larger / taller Yukata to wear which was very nice of them. Free loose leaf green tea in the rooms.

Polan no Fue, hotel in Minamioguni

Polan no Fue is a bed and breakfast located in Minamioguni. Featuring barbecue facilities, the bed and breakfast has air-conditioned rooms with a shared bathroom.

Lovely cabin with two big rooms in a wooded location on a hillside. We would have been happy with only one room but the owner (who spoke English) thought that was too small! There was also a veranda to sit on but it was too cold in November. There was a sink and a toilet in both rooms. There was a private bath big enough for 2 in a cabin 10m away. The food was amazing. Really top notch cooking. Deserved a Michelin star! Don’t miss out on the food. I think it was 3,800 yen for dinner.

    Getting around is easiest with a car, but note that it's a small mountain town so roads can be narrow--a smaller rental car would be a good choice for visiting tourists. There's not a lot of convenience shops but local produce is glorious and cheap. You can do many hiking/walking daytrips based here into the Kuju mountains and Aso area. We visited in spring, so roads were clear but I'm not sure how conditions would be in winter.

    This small town was very tranquil and relaxing with many hot spring baths available to experience and enjoy. Easy to walk around and visit the many small shops in the town. The Okyakuya Inn, which I stayed at, was perfect with a traditional tatami room and futons and both dinner and breakfast course meals were delicious serving dishes made with local ingredients. The staff were also great and friendly.

    What I like most is the countryside surrounding and nice peoples. What I may want the area to improve is/are : more shops, don't close so early, if possible, pls get one convenient store, and lastly roads are very narrow, so driver must be careful.

    The view, and the vibe surrounding aso and this region is just beautiful. Aka-ushi(red beef) tasted phenomenal, and would visit again. Would stay around Kurokawa Onsen, the next time since the first visit there was much better in terms of the aesthetics.

    Great place to go onsen hopping.

    Great place to go onsen hopping. Lots of ryokans with different types of onsens to chose from. Easier to get to in a car but not impossible by local buses. This area is in the Aso National Park. Lots of walk trails and beautiful weather in November.

    It’s a bit unfair going there you get this amazing view of the area very steep mountains alongside lakes and riverbeds. Then when you are finally driving home, you get slap with a different view of the mountains and lakes riverbeds but it’s 10x better than you remember from driving up. It will be very hard to leave.
