Situated in Kumamoto, an 40-minute walk from Hosokawa Residence Gyobutei, Hiroshimaya provides air-conditioned accommodation with free WiFi. Located around 2.2 km from Kumamoto Castle, the guest house is also 5 km away from Suizenji Park. The property is 800 metres from Shimada Museum of Art.

This place is absolutely incredible! The hosts are kind and sweet, the facilities are cosy, and the space is soothing and aesthetic. The building apparently is 100 years old, so it has a very traditional Japanese character which is exactly what you want from a trip here. The hosts also volunteered to drive me to the train station so I would be on time for the next leg of my journey. I stayed here only overnight, but it's the sort of place that makes you wish you had stayed for longer.

Only a 2-minute walk from Senbabashi Train Station, Dyeing and Hostel Nakashimaya is a female only property that offers affordable accommodations with free Wi-Fi. Guests can enjoy views of Kumamoto Castle from the balcony and experience traditional tie-dyeing activities. JR Kumamoto Train Station is a 20-minute walk away.

I was using the SunQ bus pass, and this hostel was about a 7 min walk from the bus terminal. I arrived before check-in and was able to drop off my luggage so I could sightsee. The staff are incredibly kind and helpful. The hostel is beautifully decorated and very clean. The goldfish in the entryway are stunning. I had a private room with plenty of space for my luggage and futon. The room has an AC/ heater unit and a small table, too. There are bathrooms downstairs and upstairs, and the shower is spacious and clean. I used the upstairs lounge room to relax and chat with another hostel guest. There are A LOT of manga there, but I didn't have a chance to read any. I briefly went to the roof in the rain to see the castle lit up. I didn't have a chance to do laundry or use the kitchen, but everything was neat and easily accessible. I had to leave very early the next morning, and self checkout was easy. I felt at home and very safe staying here, and I can't wait to visit again. The pictures are of the goldfish in the entrance and some sakura on the walk to the bus station.

Hiromi and Stan were extremely hospitable! We arrived late and restaurants nearby were closed, Hiromi was so kind to make us a delicious dinner, which was the perfect comfort after a day of bustling travel with a one-year-old in tow. Breakfast was fantastic, the bed was so comfortable, and there was a massage chair in the room- be sure to give it a try. Hiromi showed us the traditional tea ceremony in an authentic tea room inside the accommodation, and even let me try on the traditional Japanese wedding dress, which was so sophisticated and stunning. Tina was such a lovely puppy, with whom our little one had had a lot of fun. Hiromi’s impeccable calligraphy graces the walls inside the house. Don’t forget to take a lot at the masterpieces.

I had a wonderful stay at this guesthouse. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the breakfast provided was delicious. Hiromi was incredibly kind and even prepared tea for me in the tea room, which was the best I've ever had in Japan.

The people in there where awesome. We've been invited 3 or 4 times to eat with them in a supper for the new year. They lifted us to the one piece statues and our next hotel as well with their car, they teached us about japanese culture and they have a great sense of humour ❤️ I would recommend this place to anyone interested in discovering Kumamoto and it's people 😁

    Clean and relatively large room. The bathroom was rather spacious as well. The location, although outside of the city centre, was pretty good. Across the street there are several stores including a 24/7 supermarket that is much cheaper than any convenience store. Bento's can be bought there as well, and they are all freshly made.

    The location is amazing. It is a bit far away from Kumamoto station but you're about a 10 minute walk away from the city center. The room was nice and quiet.

    For the most part, I enjoyed my stay at this hostel. It has a well stocked kitchen, clean shower and toilets, has a warm and friendly feeling and you get to meet lots of other travellers. The location is great. Close to the castle and in a quiet neighbourhood. Laundry is only 100 yen, and they have a balcony where your clothes can drip dry (or a dryer if you're in a rush). I love that your towel gets changed daily.

    Brilliant! A lovely, beautifully decorated and extremely comfy hostel in Kumamoto (a little away from the centre, but a fairly short walk from multiple train stations). Lots of space, both in the rooms and in the common areas. You could really relax and enjoy a home away from home. Incredibly kind, friendly and helpful host, too. I wish every hostel/guesthouse were as amazing as this one!

    The location was very close to the castle and the city centre. The area was quiet during the night. For people to drive, the attached parking garage was nice and close and reasonably priced, with a discount from the hotel for using it.

    The facility is well maintained, equipped and particularly clean. The room itself is spacious and nicer than expected. Location is well situated at the city center. It definitely worths the price. Our family member all enjoyed. We checked out a bit late and were able to meet with the host. She is nice.

    Lovely stay in Kumamoto! Near a tram stop, easily walkable into the city center and to the train station. Room was small but fit all my luggage without issue. Hostel generally was clean and quiet, and the common room was great to sit in for a while in the evenings. The wifi connection was strong throughout the building.

    The hosts were exceptionally kind. I mentioned I planned on hiking near Mt Aso and they prepared a lunch for me two days in a row. They upgraded my room as I was the only person staying there, drove me to the store and the station when I didn't have a car, and did everything to make me feel welcome. The location was incredible and quiet, with stunning views of Kumamoto and a beautiful guesthouse. I can't thank them enough for their kindness!
