Experience of the stay
★ Access
→ From Kumamoto Airport, take the limousine bus to Sakuramachi Bus Terminal. It's located within Sakuramachi Kumamoto shopping facility, which is rich in shopping and dining options! From here, I could easily spot the hotel sign and confirm the location.
Crossing the traffic signal through the grassy plaza in front leads you to the new city arcade, and the hotel is just a short distance from there. There is also an underground passage.
Between Sakuramachi Kumamoto and the arcade entrance is Karashi-machi station, where you can easily take the streetcar.
★ Reception and Lounge
→ The check-in process was friendly and straightforward, with a staff member present. There were manga corners and an amenities bar available.
★ Welcome Drink
→ A drink bar with coffee, juice, and sparkling water was available in the lounge.
★ The Highly Anticipated Large Bath
→ There was a huge indoor public bath and sauna, and three outdoor baths. The hairdryer was a Dyson, and the shower was a Mirable, which made the ladies very happy. After the bath, there was an ice candy service, which was incredible.
★ Abundant Rental Items
→ Child care items and board games were available for rent.
Although it was a single room, the bed felt a bit larger, almost like a double. I stayed for multiple nights and was able to use the laundry room.
It was a clean hotel with a great location, definitely a place I want to return to!
Experiences during the trip
I moved freely mainly using the streetcar, visiting attractions such as Kumamoto Castle and shopping streets. Although I originally planned to eat Akagyu and Basashi, I ended up choosing different dishes based on my mood at the time.
However, it was a delicious and very satisfying trip!
★ Kurotei
I headed straight here after getting off the limousine bus at Sakuramachi Kumamoto, which has a lively and inviting atmosphere. I felt like drinking up the soup!
★ Mekkemon
I visited the store inside Amu Plaza Kumamoto at Kumamoto Station. The vibrant atmosphere drew me in. The three types of tuna served here were soft and delicious. Depending on the price, there might be a Kumamon plate!
★ Shourettei
A tonkatsu restaurant located just a short distance from the hotel. I ordered a luxurious set with fillet cutlet and shrimp fry, along with octopus wasabi. The service of takana was a pleasant surprise. They told me in detail how to use the sauce, and I enjoyed changing up the flavors!
★ Fukuda Farm (Sakura no Koji)
When tired from walking around Kumamoto Castle, I had an ice float topped with dry Dekopon.
★ TENTE (Sakura no Koji)
Soft serve filled with strawberries. At 700 yen, this was a fantastic deal.
I even enjoyed strawberries from TENTE and Ajisen Ramen at the airport, savoring Kumamoto gourmet until the very last minute.
