Experience of the stay
This lodge offers a panoramic view of Kumamoto Castle from the terrace.
It's located in a commercial facility, so if you're really tired or the weather is bad, you can still have your meals inside the building. During Golden Week, the restaurant I wanted to visit was fully booked, so I bought horse sashimi and fresh sashimi from the department store next door and got cake from the shopping street to have a restaurant experience in my room.
Also, it seems there are over 100 bars in Kumamoto’s downtown area, and the ranger recommends local bars. There's even a tasting for one type of cocktail, so be sure to try it before going out.
Experiences during the trip
I used the bus to Kurokawa Onsen that departed right in front of the hotel.
By purchasing a Yume-guri pass, you can visit 3 different hot springs. Each of them is unique, so be sure to research and choose your 3 wisely!
