Guest Reviews

• Ke (7/5): 非常有性价比！让我的熊本记忆很深刻 - 全屋设计非常有品位，耐人寻味。从进门开始就让人惊叹“啊旦那一定很爱惜自己的房屋”。睡眠也有很多区域的划分，有多人间和单人间供选择。分一楼二楼和厨房厕所晾晒区有阳台。厨房的物品都可以使用并且真的有伙伴可以煮饭呢。不知道老板这么多装饰是怎么打扫卫生的呢？？？因为真的看不到灰尘。 睡觉的床垫太软了，可能弹簧已经形成记忆在固定的位置会塌陷。并且偶尔嘎吱响。
• Marina (10/5): - The place is just adorable, you can see that there is attention in all the details. I really enjoyed my stay here! It is important to note that there is no dryer machine (didn't affect me), but you can hang your clothers to dry.
• Chieko (9/5): -
• YEN HSIEN (9/5): - 非常乾淨、安靜。 女主人把每一個地方都布置得很有格調，尤其頂樓有座植物園，清晨坐在裡面，享受清新的氣息。 廚房的省電裝置，每隔3分鐘左右就息燈，吃個飯或喝咖啡，就息燈好多次。
• Pauline (10/5): Magnifique hostel très confortable - Les futons etaient confortables, et l’hostel entier était tres bien décoré, très cosy
• Bettina (ベティナ) (10/5): Le plus bel hostel ! - Tout était parfait !! Je n’ai jamais vu un hostel aussi beau, joliment décoré, avec autant d’attentions 🙏🏼
• shu yu (10/5): - 公共空間佈置得非常精妙，會讓你想一直去參觀哈哈。房間則是簡潔的很適合休息。整間旅館一塵不染，附近還有超市和電車站！
• POYEE (10/5): - 住在這裡是在熊本最值得的事情之一了！一進來就覺得自己置身童話世界，老闆娘的品味真的太好了。客廳有漫畫和電影可以看，還可以玩圍棋。在這裡認識到了新朋友，我們還約了一起去玩，留下了深刻的回憶！ 地理位置也很好，如果想散步的話完全可以走回熊本站的程度！！ とても素敵なゲストハウスです！！！今度熊本に行くとまたここに住みたいです〜〜〜とても優しいおかみさんです！！！楽しかった二日でした〜〜〜
• OUKA (10/5): -
• Federica (8/5): - È una struttura in pieno stile giapponese, molto bella. Gli spazi sono ampi e la struttura è pulita. Ho chiesto se potevo fare delle modifiche sulla prenotazione poiché Booking ti dà l’opzione di poter chiedere al proprietario di non pagare la commissione ma me l’hanno respinta e non ho potuto fare il check-in qualche ora prima rispetto alle 4PM.
• tamaki (9/5): -
• Michiko (8/5): -
• Alice (10/5): - Chaque pièce est décorée avec beaucoup de goût et le lieu est très agréable. La gérante est très aimable. Je recommande !
• JuHsaun (9/5): - Although it is a hostel, I feel very safe and cozy when resting there. The kitchen and co-shared living room are both convenient and comfortable.
• Aleksandra (10/5): - Wszystko było super. Atmosfera cudowna, obsługa miła, a odpowiednio duży pokój zawierał klimatyzację. Wspólne przestrzenie czyste, zadbane, kuchnia jest świetnie wyposażona. Widać, że bardzo dużo serca jest włożone w prowadzenie tego hostelu. Na każdym kroku można znaleźć urocze dodatki. Hostel na prawdę godny polecenia

• jiin (10/5): - 청결하고 조용했으며 호스트가 친절했어요 방도 아늑했습니다 수건은 유료이니 챙겨오시면 좋아요
• Ueno (10/5): 清潔で快適な宿 - 共同風呂･トイレ･寝室になりますが、女性専用と言うだけあり、とても清潔さに気を遣ってらっしゃるなと感じました リーズナブルで大変助かりました また機会があれば宿泊したいです
• Pauline (9/5): Parfait - Calme, chaleureux, ambiance comme à la maison ! La personne qui s'occupe des lieux est adorable, gentille et douce. Tout le confort nécessaire, très bien situé, parfait !
• wendi (9/5): - 环境真的太好了………特别特别好。希望以后还有机会来玩。没有隔音措施，请注意！凌晨两点多有两个女孩拉着行李箱走来走去睡的有点难受。除此之外都很好。下次想来玩扎染！
• Justine (10/5): On n’a qu’une envie, c’est d’y revenir - Je m’aligne sur tous les commentaires élogieux que j’ai pu lire à propos de cette auberge. Il est juste fantastique. L’ambiance est magique! Chaque espace est pensé pour passer un bon moment. Une propreté irréprochable. Un bel accueil également. Je remercie la propriétaire pour mon magnifique séjour. J’ai hâte de revenir!
• Camille (9/5): -
• Lucie (10/5): Amazing place, amazing staff - This place is like you have just landed to some kind of magical world. :) So beautifully designed, perfectly clean and sooo warm and cozy. Staff very friendly and helpful, fluent in English. The room was tiny which might be something to consider if you are not good with small places, no problem for me at all.
• Minori (7/5): -
• Nur Hidayanti Asma (9/5): Good excellent place. Easy to find. Very friendly and helpful staff - Its really clean and beautiful I prefer sleep in dark room. A transparent curtain make bit discomfort for me. But the room is totally great
• Kristen (10/5): -
• HSUEHFEN (10/5): - 溫馨
• KAORI (8/5): -

• CHIAO LIN (10/5): -
• MengLarn (10/5): - Close to Sakuramachi bus terminal. The hostel is pretty and clean.
• Yu (10/5): -
• NATSUI (10/5): 最高の旅の立役者 - 設備は自由に使用して良いというお話の上に、全てが清潔で整っていた点です。テレビをお借りして地元のニュースを見られたこともすごく嬉しかったですし、滞在者ノートがあり読むのも記入するのも楽しかったです。 ありません！
• Yan (9/5): -
• Stella Clarissa (10/5): -
• Lea (9/5): Agréable séjour dans une magnifique guest house. - Magnifique guest house. Thé et café à disposition. Suffisamment de douche et de toilettes pour tout le monde. Extrêmement propre cela fait plaisir. Ils font le ménage très tôt, pas possible de dormir après 9h30/10h. S’il y a d’autres occupants qui parlent fort le soir c’est dommage l’isolation sonore n’est pas au rdv.
• YUMIKO (9/5): リーズナブルで安心なお宿🎶 - アメニティは無いものの 持参しなくてもお金を出せば借りれます。 湯船は無くシャワーですが シャンプー・リンス・ボディソープはあります。 綿棒も、部屋にはティッシュペーパーも有りました。 公共の場所のインテリアが凝って居て 玄関を入る前から素敵なお宿と分かりました。 マットレスが合わなかったくらいかな。
• Maya (10/5): - 玄関からお部屋まで全てが可愛くて清潔で素晴らしかったです！屋上のバルコニーからは熊本城が見えたり、ドミトリーでいろんな国の方とお話できて熊本旅行のいい思い出になりました！
• Tatjana (10/5): -
• Bouchez (10/5): - La meilleure auberge dans laquelle j'ai dormi. Tout était parfait ! Tout y est harmonieux. Un véritable havre de paix pour récupérer pendant le voyage. Je ne veux pas en dire plus, car la surprise en vaut vraiment la chandelle ! Petit indice : Un grand merci pour la musique d'Hisaishi !
• NORIKO (9/5): レトロで素晴らしい内装の女性専用宿 - 建物の内装がとても良かった スタッフも親切 飲み物有り 同室者が感じよくて気にはならなかったけど しきりがあれば ドライヤーの効きが悪い
• Maria (10/5): - The cutest little place. Really special, unique. Lovely staff. Definitely worth a visit!
• leana (10/5): -
• Anisa (10/5): Ghibli style home- well organised and she speaks perfect english! - Incredibly whimsical ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! It was amazing
• Chitapa (10/5): - ชอบทุกอย่าง อยู่ใกล้ซูเปอร์มาร์เก็ต ใกล้สถานีรถราง ห้องพักดี ที่นอนนอนสบาย มี roof top
• Jessica (10/5): - It was soooo cute ! With all this stuff inside it is like a museum. The atmosphere was very calming and the host very kind. There was also a rooftop where i could see the castle! Room was small but that was enough as there was everything I needed!
• Ilaria (9/5): - Sono stata solo una notte e mi è dispiaciuto perché la struttura è davvero bella. Tutti gli interni e i mobili sono in perfetto stile giapponesi, molto bello! Lo staff super gentile
• YUKIE (8/5): -
• Sandrine (10/5): -
• Kazuko (10/5): 最高です - 女性専用なので安心。清潔でかわいい。 靴を入れる場所が頭をぶつけやすい
• SARI (9/5): 安心 - 綺麗にされていて、相部屋で少し不安でしたが、鍵付き荷物置き場もあり安心でした☺️ なし
• guohui (10/5): - 住宿十分有格调，整个环境很好，一整墙的漫画可以悠闲度过晚上，地方距离车站十分方便。房东很贴心，整个体验跟住家里一样。
• Berenice (8/5): - nice decoration, good equipments in the common spaces (shower, kitchen), host is really nice and can keep your luggage if you arrive before check in room is tiny and not very ventilated, few storage space in the room
• Nicole (10/5): - This place was great! The host was so kind and able to offer some good suggestions for food and visiting the castle. The location was super convenient and the hostel was clean and very comfortable. Would highly recommend.
• Jella (7/5): -
• Delphine (10/5): - Magnifique 😍
• Sandrine (10/5): -
• HsinPing (10/5): - Wonderful staff and beautiful environment .If you like Ghibli，you will find many hidden elements in the hostel I hope they could offer a map for the hostel
• Elzbieta Weronika (10/5): Safe haven for women travelling solo. - The host was incredibly kind. She introduced each floor of the house to us after checkin in. There’s a common room with board games, manga, little trickers, a beautiful rooftop with the view of Kumamoto castle, an incredibly cute kitchen. The place felt magical. There’s a slight smell to the tatami rooms but since it’s a traditional house you have to be understanding of that. Towels are not provided but there’s a vending machine (how fun!) 200 yen per towel so it’s not that big of a problem.
• Saki (9/5): 和を感じられる滞在 - 内装がかわいくて素敵でした。スタッフの方も感じが良く気持ち良く滞在できました。
• Kazuko (10/5): -
• Haruka (8/5): リラックスして過ごせました◎ - 女将さんがとても親切で安心して過ごせた◎ 玄関に金魚がいたり、いたるところに素敵な絵が飾ってあったりして見ていて楽しかった◎ 落ち着いた雰囲気でゆったり過ごせた◎ 事前に分かっていたので問題はありませんが、防音ではないので周囲の部屋の話し声やいびきがそのまま聞こえてきます。自分もいびきをかいていたら申し訳ないなと思いながら過ごしましたが、、。周囲の音に敏感な方は耳栓を持っておくと良いと思います◎
• YU TING (10/5): -
• Stephanie (8/5): Calidad - Precio bien - La amabilidad del personal. Me ayudaron a reservar una noche extra al mismo precio que la inicial cuando debería ser un poco más cara. La casa es única llena de pequeños detalles. Uno se siente muy a gusto en ella. La situación muy bien a 20' a pie del castillo y cerca de transporte público y tiendas. La casa es muy tranquila , la habitación tradicional es un plus como experiencia. Quizás no supe ponerlo bien pero el "futón" facilitado era más bien un colchón plegable, no de muy buena calidad, por lo que incluso al dormir sobre el tatami (con el colchón), la experiencia no fue demasiado buena.
• tamaki (9/5): -
• Mieko (10/5): -
• Yan (10/5): Exceptional - love the place, with all the details of Japanese decorations and Japanese style. I felt like time went back to old ages in a Japanese "castle." You can sense the love and effort that the owner has put into this hostel. Recommend Nakashimaya to all females travel to Kumamoto. I didn't notice my debit card was left in the room after check out, the owner messaged me at once when she noticed it and even drove to train station to send to me so I was able to receive the card for later use and catch up the train on time.
• Kaylee (10/5): Exceptional -
• Regina (9/5): Superb - Cozy little place with welcoming music at the entrance hall. Everything you need for a peaceful stay. Very clean. Futon beds were very comfortable. Excellent location I couldn't open a window. Therefore the room was rather dark. A note for which the host is not to blame for. The last room, I had an extremely loud neighbour who made a lot of noise .
• Amy (9/5): Convenient and cute place to sleep - The place is beautifully decorated and the owner was really kind. It was a good place to stay for a night, not very social between the people staying. The room was small but there was a lot of space in the common area to relax.
• Emily (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful, distinctive lodging. Very well located. The host is exceptional — warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, extremely helpful. She’s wonderful, as is her hostel.
• Po-ju (10/5): Everything is great. Nice boss, nice accommodations. -
• Kayo (10/5): Exceptional - It was a so comfortable place. I’d like to stay here again If I come to Kumamoto. None
• Jennifer (10/5): Recommended - Lovely hostel. Warm welcome. Beautiful property. Good facilities. As an introvert who uses hostels purely for cost reasons, I found this a good one! About a 20 minute walk from the station.
• Dangerfield (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful decor, friendly and very helpful staff
• Maud (10/5): Super comfortable and amazing value for money in the center of Kumamoto - This hostel is for women only and is super well located, a few cafes and kissaten around and only a 10-15mn walk to the main touristic places (Kumamoto castle etc.). It was super clean, 2 shower rooms and 2 toilets, the futons were thick and super comfortable, and the lady running it was so nice. She also speaks English. Towels can be bought there for ¥200-500 depending on the size as well as toothbrushes. Also provides shampoo and body wash. The room was well heated and we had a great sleep. 100% recommend. We didn’t use it but there’s also a kitchen and a coffee corner.
• Milena (9/5): Superb - A very quiet and charming hotel, the rooms were very comfortable and warm. All the facilities are super clean and the owner was very welcoming and helpful about things to do and see in Kumamoto despite my inability to speak Japanese ! I definitely recommend, especially if you're a solo female traveler.
• Marion (10/5): Exceptional - Lovingly furnished hostel with great attention to detail. The rooms are small but the beds are so comfortable! Well connected to explore the city. Really a great hostel
• Dana (10/5): Best Hostel I've Ever Stayed At - This is hands down the best hostel I've ever stayed in. Genuinely, I would pick this hostel over a 5-star hotel any day. The room is large, comfy and well-equipped with a small table, tissues, travel guides etc. I LOVED the Kumamon dotted around the hotel, especially the Kumamon key chain and the Kumamon that will sit in the receptionist seat. Everything is so clean and tidy! The decorations of the hostel blew my mind, I genuinely had never seen such exquisite interior designs. The hostel even had a huge powder room, perfect for us ladies, and a huge common area with so much manga, a massage chair, games and even PCs! I would return to Kumamoto just to stay at this hostel again.
• Christina (10/5): Magical place you won't want to leave - I enjoyed yhe enormous amount of detail that went into every knook and crannie. Everywhere you looked.There was something new to see even if you have been in the room multiple times. it was a magical wonderland and a place you won't want to leave even the roof top is nicely done when I have a home.I hope it looks like this someday. And the staff is just as magical and kind as a new fairy tale. The only thing I didn't like is that I couldn't stay longer
• Kelpy (9/5): Superb - The owner was very friendly and helpful. She gave a tour of the property and told me about events in the areas which I appreciated. It was very nice, cozy, and well decorated. I especially like the common room which had manga and movies. It also seemed like there were shared PC that could be used. There was also a cool rooftop area, but I didn't use it for too long since it was cold. I booked a shared room with a futon and it was spacious. It was fairly close to Kumamoto Castle and only 2mins walk away from one of the tram stations as well. Upstairs sink didn't have hand soap so you would have to either go downstairs to wash your hands or use the downstairs toilet.
• Transez (10/5): Will be back for long stay. - This place is literally like a museum with beautiful, maybe even rare collections of the owner Miki-san. The dorm room is spacious. The entire space is very clean and well-maintained, beautifully decorated with lighting and trinkets. For me, the major plus is a wall full of manga and past issues of Shonen JUMP ... I can spend months here!!! That I had to leave. Also, please also look elsewhere to book this accommodation bc Booking is more expensive but they deny that. So much for price matching??
• Nur (9/5): Probably the nicest hostel decor ever - Nice interior decor - very zen. The hostess was nice & helpful. Everything you need for your stay is here - kitchen, games, balcony, comfy room, washing machine. There is 24 hour supermarket nearby although a bit expensive None
• Pei (10/5): Exceptional -
• Soojin (10/5): Exceptional - The host was really nice. It was very beautiful inside, and you can see Kumamoto Castle from the rooftop. It has a kitchen, laundry room, shower room, powder room, and you can buy towels or toothbrushes if you need them. I recommend you if you want to stay somewhere special in Kumamoto. You have to take the subway or bus from Kumamoto Station, but it's in between major tourist attractions and Kumamoto Station, so it's good for traveling. If you have luggage, I recommend a backpack rather than a carrier.
• Shuyuan (10/5): I wish I could stay more nights - Everything. None.
• Yunning (10/5): Exceptional - Everything is awesome! It’s a comfortable, lovely place. I have a very good time there! The owner is very friendly, she will greet you when you are back. I just feel like being home ❤️
• Lisa (9/5): Comfortable short stay - It's a good hostel for solo female travellers. It's clean and comfortable and I felt super safe for a 2 days stay. You share a room with 3 other persons but there is also a nice living room, kitchen and rooftop. The location is close to tourist attractions and Kumamoto station. The cleanliness of the whole hostel was a real plus! Note that there is no free shower gel or towels provided - either bring your own or pay a small fee to receive some!
• Mitsuko (8/5): - 女性専用で、安心して利用できます。 リーズナブルなのもとても気に入ってます。
• Mary (7/5): Good -
• Paoletti (10/5): Exceptional - Great hostel in a central location. I stayed in the dorm and in a private room. I loved it, it is very clean and the tenant is super nice. Very cosy and beautifully decorated. Would definitely recommend to stay here.
• Yi-han (10/5): Exceptional - Everything is great! I enjoy my time living there. The host is very friendly and helpful. No towel and bath products provided (but you can purchase from the hotel).
• Naoko (10/5): - 清潔感がありとても良かったです
• Hang (10/5): Great Stay - Amazing hostel! Recommend for all solo travelers, very comfortable room and gorgeous interiors! There is also a great common area with massage chair!
• Kazue (10/5): very clean place. - the location is very good.
• Xiao (10/5): Definitely recommend! - Owner is very friendly and the place is very clean and super well-decorated! I enjoyed the time here.
