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.

Thank you very much to the hotel owner for their warm hospitality! I traveled by bike in Japan for 3 months and booked 70 hotels in advance. I couldn't help staying here for an extra night. Although it was worth wasting the expenses of the last three hotels to catch up with the itinerary. The open landscape, peaceful temples, traditional architecture, and the warmth of the owner all make people experience the true meaning of "Japan". Next time I have the opportunity, I will stay for one week. Thank you again!

    Warm and friendly towards every guests. Unlike other hostels, as long as you take the initiative, you get to know more about the locals staying in Kumamoto here through their frequent gatherings over the dinner time and they always welcome you. They even organised a takoyaki party for me and taught me how to cook it. Also inviting to join the bamboo shoot harvest! What a real experience that I appreciate so much! Highly recommended! Thanks!

    You come here for the price and you fall for the design. Smart contemporary Japanese beloved by both locals and aliens. The cafe and its quite large terrace are nice, and the locker room for your suitcase is a good idea indeed. Last but not least, location is better than good.

    The host family running this place is amazing. They are usually spending time in the lounge room and will provide you a beer or good homemade Korean food if you ask for with decent prices. Also there's a dinner party every Saturday which was a great experience! The location of the hostel is very central.
