It was all good!

Really nice owners and great location, close to a tram stop and JR station, which makes it perfect for a trip to Mount Aso. Also in a quite street so you can get a good nights sleep. The room was a good size and I would recommend the breakfast which was first class. Thank you, I really enjoyed my stay at Tamaki Ryokan.

Location is good nearly location train and Tram, you could go to your Ryokanim multiple way. The Owner and staff very helpful. He help me for travel to Aso volcano. without his help I count not go to Aso volcano at all. The room is comfortable

That we only spent one night :-(

Tamaki Ryokan is just fantastic! Where to begin? From the moment you enter you are feeling like it's "home". Just the japanese Version :-) The owner and his wife are very welcoming and English was no problem at all. The neighbourhood is very quiet and the breakfast was fantastic - yes, it's japanese and it's not what we're used to but the experience is fantastic and we really enjoyed it. The Futon was comfy and we slept like logs. We would definitely recommend this place - but mind yourself: the rooms are not huge and the stairs are a bit steep - if you can live with that: go for it! You won't regret it. Would stay there again 10/10 - Arigatou gozaimasu!

Very nice staff and large room. The tap water in Kumamoto is drinkable and very well rated. The ryokan is also a parking location for Charichari app rental bikes. Meal service is also available for an additional cost and reserved in advance of your stay.

Small family-run ryokan. The hosts were super hospitable, they can communicate in basic English. The traditional breakfast was delicious and very homey. The ryokan is in a residential neighborhood that is close to transit (both the train and streetcar stations), so you have easy access to go in either direction to Kumamoto Station or the airport while being able to sleep in a quiet area at night. Also plenty of restaurants and konbini nearby. The room and bath/toilet facilities were clean, fresh towels were provided daily. The rooms are traditional tatami so you sleep on a futon. There is a coin laundry right across the street.

The toilet is slightly small but it's within our expectation. Most importantly, it's clean and well maintained.

This is a small family run ryokan. The owner - Hiro san and wife offered great hospitality and helped us to carry our heavy luggage to our rooms. We like the dinner prepared by them... it was delicious and taste home cooked. We feel 'at home'. The tatami room is comfortable for 2 paxs. Though it's a small ryokan, all the amenities are provided adequately. There's parking beside ryokan, just have to pay. Would love to stay here again.

The futons provided felt a bit thin, but it could just be because we aren’t used to that style of sleeping. Additionally, the shower was a bit too small for my partner who is 193cm. He had to sit down in the bath so just be aware.

We had a traditional Japanese room. It was small, but we knew that going in so wasn’t an issue. 😊 The room was very clean and had a nice balcony that allowed in fresh air. The blankets provided were very soft and comfortable. The people running the Ryoken were very lovely and we had no issues communicating in basic English/Japanese. I would recommend this place for anyone coming to the area.

Small Ryokan with friendly host. Our room was small but fine for one night. The Japanese breakfast was great.

It's an original ryokan experience in the middle of the city. This means: tatami mats and futon. I never tried that before, so I really wanted this type of experience. The Japanese breakfast was really, REALLY good. The husband of the couple is a really good chef! Also, they took into account my food allergies (always nice). The location is also good in my opinion. It's a 5-minute walk from Shin-Suizenji, which has a stop for the streetcars and a train stop that quickly goes to Kumamoto station, and in the other direction already sets you on the path to Aso (if you want to explore the volcano).
