I appreciated the staff offering me help. They kept my luggage before and after my time, so I could explore the town well. I arrived by bus + foot, and they gave me a ride to the bus station on my return. They dressed me in Yukata(summer kimono) and were ready to chauffeur me to an outdoor evening show, but I declined and enjoyed my bath in my backyard.
Whereas usual Ryokan serves food in your room, this place has two food serving areas, and they walked me to different rooms for dinner and breakfast. I liked the nice garden views from two different locations.
Located just a 5-minute drive from famous Takachiho-kyo Gorge, Imakuni Ryokan offers Japanese-style accommodation surrounded by tranquil nature. It features a large public bath with mountain views.
Located in Minami Aso, 33 km from Egao Kenko Stadium Kumamoto and 39 km from Suizenji Park, Ryokoji Temple provides spacious air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony and free WiFi.

THE BUDDHIST VEGAN MEALS HERE WERE THE BEST I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED !!
Such a beautiful, remote, relaxing accommodation option at the foot of Mount Aso in a very quiet area and away from tourists. The hosts were also so amazing, in displaying the ultimate in Japanese hospitality. The stroll to Takezaki Spring was the most zen thing I have done on this trip (9th visit). You can have a choice of a bed or futon.
Kyukamura Minami-Aso, a property with a terrace, is situated in Takamori, 38 km from Egao Kenko Stadium Kumamoto, 47 km from Suizenji Park, as well as 48 km from Kumamoto Castle.

We family stayed here one night. Dinner and breakfast is great. The view of balcony and restaurant is awesome. We took a walk around yard and camping area next morning.
Experience culture authentically with a stay at this traditional Japanese-style accommodation. Sleep on the floor (on a futon roll) in a room furnished with tatami flooring and sliding doors. Guests can often expect access to a communal bath plus a complimentary Japanese garment called a yukata.
The ryokan was located perfectly opposite to the bus station. The building was charming and the room spacious and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
The room was huge for 2 people. The futon were confortable. There were hangers to let your clothes dry (ours don't go in the dryer but there was one too). The place is well located, you can reach the main attractions by foot or bus.
This B&B is very nice Japanese style accommodation: my room was a spacious and comfortable tatami room with balcony and bathroom attached.
Breakfast room and common area was well equipped and breakfast was satisfying.
Host Yasu speaks good English and is ready to provide any information you need.
Was our first time staying at a traditional 2-storey japanese house, did take some getting used to, otherwise an interesting experience! Futons were tucked in the cupboard and was comfy once laid out. House was spacious with old school finishings, however toilet was surprisingly newly constructed (it seems).
We came to Takachiho to visit the famous gorge and when looking at accommodation, there were little around. Ryokan Shinsen was definitely more on the pricer side, however having stayed the 2 nights, I would be more than keen to stay here again. The facilities and rooms were immaculate. The service was excellent, very attentive. Breakfast and dinner were included in the stay and it's definitely an experience. There is plenty of parking if you're planning on driving and close to tourist attractions.
1. Great location - walking distance to Takachiho bus terminal, taxi and local train station, tourist association, shops, restaurants, Takachiho Gorge, shrines and tourist attractions.
2. Clean and comfortable futon beds on tatami mat. Spacious room good for 2 pax.
3. Friendly guesthouse owner.
4. Free coffee and tea bags.
5. No cooking facilities but can heat up food with microwave oven provided next to reception counter.
6. Can chit-chat with room guests from other countries at reception area till 10pm.
