Gokase Campsite Camping and Guesthouse

The countryside location is amazing - you're surrounded by nature and as we went mid week it was super peaceful as we were the only guests there! The cabin is nice and rustic with a great veranda overlooking volcanos in the distance.

The toilets were pretty basic but it is a campsite so can't complain! Also be warned that the latest you can check in is 6pm unless you pay in advance - this wasn't mentioned when we booked initially.

Beautiful view from the bungalow!

The bungalow is placed on a campsite, so you need to go outside to go to the shared bathroom.

We stayed in a basic hut for 3 nights and really enjoyed our stay - the views from the balcony are amazing and the surrounding area with waerfalls, volcanos gorges is interesting. Although the hut is basic there is electricity, a sink and good wifi and it is cosy.

You have to take all trash away or they charge you 1000 yen, this is difficult if you don't live in Japan and have somewhere to take it too.

the staff were great, we ended up arriving a day late because our rental car got cancelled, and they very kindly refunded us for the night we weren’t there. they were also great at responding quickly to any questions we had. we rented a bbq too and they were fantastic and brought it to our cabin. the views are incredible.

the wifi didn’t reach to our cabin as far as we could tell, but we didn’t enquire about any other available networks

- lovely bungalow with a view on the forest

- no staff at night - heater not working - old equipments - shower far from the bungalow and rustic

We loved the cabins. We reserved three for our party (three adults, five children). The views were beautiful. Kids enjoyed playing in the woods and exploring. We had fun at the bbq. They were well-equipped with supplies so you could show up empty-handed (we purchased food at grocery on the way).

The cottages are quite basic, but nice old Japanese style and the view from the terrace is amazing. The host also arranged me a brand new electric mountain bike which worked very well for me to see the area around, such as Aso volcano and Takachiho gorge. The WiFi worked like a charm. Definitely recommend!

This place is a little hard to get without a rental car, but there's a single bus connection every day from bigger cities nearby (Kumamoto, Fukuoka, Nobeoka).
