Wataya
This quiet inn was originally the mansion of the coal mine owner Tanashiro Masahira and was built about 130 years ago. . In this 3,300-square-meter space, the tranquility of the Japanese garden and the artistic beauty of traditional Japanese architecture and gardens are fully displayed, and the convenient transportation and gourmet food necessary for a hotel are also available. The 13 guest rooms with different styles are located in the quiet Japanese garden, and the beauty of the garden can completely surround you.
10 years ago, a hot spring was successfully excavated in the bamboo forest in the hotel's courtyard. Taking advantage of this natural blessing, the hotel designed open-air baths, cypress baths, ceramic baths, and more.

Maruko Hotel
Maruko Hotel has a history of more than 120 years. It was originally a sightseeing spot in Kumamoto. The hotel is often used by tourists and business people, and it is still one of the representative hotels in Kumamoto City today. Although it is located in the center of Kumamoto, the quiet location shuts out the hustle and bustle of the city. When you walk into the hotel, you will experience the texture and high-quality service accumulated over a century of history in every detail.
In addition to its unique geographical location and long history, this hotel is also adjacent to many "big-name" tourist attractions, such as the towering Kumamoto Castle. Kumamoto Castle is probably a must-see for many people who come from afar. Near Kumamoto Castle, it can be said that those who are closest to the water get the moon first. In addition, there is Kaminari-dori Street, known as the "corridor of beauty and commerce". It is home to art galleries and various fashion shops, perfectly blending classic and modern. It is also a good place worth visiting.

Kiyoryuan
Turning in from a trail, it was quite a surprise. Courtyard terraces, koi lotus ponds, such an exquisite and pleasant place are actually hidden here.
What Seiryuan is most proud of is that each guest room is equipped with the popular rock bath. Rock bathing allows bathers to sleep on natural minerals. After heating, the deep layers of the human skin are sweating profusely, which can effectively remove toxins from the body.

Taisenkaku
Taisenkaku is located in Harazuru Hot Spring Township. It is famous because the Emperor and his wife stayed there. As soon as you enter the door, the view of the lobby is very wide. After you are used to seeing small and fresh Japanese-style hotels, you will feel that everything here is generous.
In addition to the general Japanese-style rooms, the four Japanese-style suites built around a large garden are the most impressive. After all the large floor-to-ceiling windows are opened, what is presented in front of you is not so much a garden as a complete garden landscape painting. Sitting on the rocking chair in front of the window, the entire garden's rockeries, ponds, and dense trees are right in front of you. As I look at it, a kind of romance emerges unconsciously in the painting.
In addition, the swimming pool with a 25-meter-long swimming lane is another great feature. Hot spring hotels where you can soak in hot springs and swim are actually rare.On one side is a traditional Japanese garden, on the other side are well-equipped modern facilities. Tradition and modernity are harmoniously presented.

Forget the Riyasu Garden
It can be said that this place evokes the memory of the Showa era in Japan. . If the name of the inn "Forgotten Village" is literally translated, it should be called "Forgotten Hometown". There is a life here that the Japanese once forgot. A large thatched roof, chickens and ducks roaming freely in the front and back yards, cooking in earthen pots, and lighting a fire around the stove. Such an idyllic lifestyle continues here without any artificiality. When I arrived here, I saw a vibrant scene in front of me, which made people feel as if they had traveled back in time. The person who walked out of the door was the energetic woman in kimono.
The hot spring bath in the hotel is built along the Tenjiang River. It uses the source of spring water that has naturally emerged since ancient times. Bathing in it will awaken memories of the past.

Shuquan no Ayotei
One of the most beautiful villages in Japan , Miyazaki's Aya Town can be described as a forest town. Looking from a distance, you can see mountains and clouds all around. It is a place that is far away from the world, and it is wonderful. All rooms in Ayotei are equipped with cypress wood hot spring baths. When you soak in the pool, you can only hear the gurgling stream and the occasional chirping of birds. Sometimes accompanied by the rustling of leaves, you can smell the unique fragrance of cypress trees, which is intoxicating. The strong sunlight from the southern land of Japan dances and shines on the branches and leaves of the foliage trees. After becoming soft, it shines into the room, making people feel warm.
In fact, Ayōtei is located in a complex tourist facility that mainly focuses on sake breweries. When you step out the door, there are wine-filled souvenir shops. Of course, there are also various restaurants for you to choose from, which is very convenient.
