Experience of the stay
As for my stay at Hotel Nikko Kumamoto, I was overall extremely satisfied. First of all, the location was outstanding, allowing me to enjoy beautiful views both day and night, and the transportation was convenient, with a bus to the airport departing right in front of the hotel, making travel smooth. The room was spacious and clean, with well-maintained decor that ensured comfort. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was easy to use. The shower’s water pressure was particularly impressive! It helped wash away the fatigue of my travels. The staff's service was excellent, showcasing high hospitality and kindly sharing local information. The breakfast buffet was plentiful, incorporating local dishes that left a strong impression with their deliciousness. The quality of service was reminiscent of a prestigious hotel, making me want to return. If you visit Kumamoto, I highly recommend it!
Experiences during the trip
This trip was focused on food. The horse sashimi in Kumamoto is truly exquisite! Known as the home of horse meat, Kumamoto offers fresh cuts that are often prepared under strict hygiene management, resulting in little to no gamey taste, with a delicate sweetness and tender texture. For instance, the lean cuts are refreshing, and the umami of the meat spreads gradually with each bite, while the high-quality fatty cuts melt in your mouth! When enjoyed with soy sauce infused with ginger and garlic, the flavors are enhanced, making it a perfect match with beer or sake! It's healthy, which is great for women! Trying rare cuts like liver sashimi and tongue sashimi offers a crunchy texture that's addictive. Overall, it's a healthy choice, making it easy to enjoy without feeling guilty. When traveling to Kumamoto, I recommend dining at local specialty shops; the unforgettable deliciousness is something you won't forget! The local food in Japan's countryside is the best.
