• Yi Hsuan (10/5): 來南阿蘇住一晚民宿 有很多廚房用具可以自己煮食。隔天一早老闆還給好吃的自製蜜蕃薯🍠 - 非常乾淨 房間和浴室都可以看風景
• CHIA-JUNG (10/5): 地點不錯,環境優美,主人和藹親切 - 地點不錯,環境優美,主人和藹親切 床鋪太軟,有點腰酸背痛的
• Neceth (10/5): Amazing and memorable. I would recommend to friends - The hosts are excellent, helpful and very accommodating. The room was very tidy, cozy and comfortable. The bathroom has a spectacular view of Mount Aso which made our stay even more memorable. Nothing
• 佑泰 (10/5): 很美！民宿夫妻非常客氣👍 -
• Hsiao-Yung (10/5): -
• Veronika (8/5): - beautiful location lovely owners good for spring, summer, fall nice view of mountains would recommend to avoid in winter - very cold at night
• Markus (9/5): Ideale Unterkunft für Ausflüge im Aso-Tal - Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Relativ grosses Zimmer mit schönen Blick auf den Mount Aso. Ruhige Lage, etwas abseits der Strasse, mit Auto gut erreichbar. Zweckmässig eingerichtet, man kann auch eine einfache Mahlzeit zubereiten und geniessen.
• Lilin (9/5): 很溫馨舒適的小房 - 老闆人很好會詳細介紹房間每個設施，房東的房子跟住宿的小屋是分開的兩棟，所以可以不用擔心，有問題也可以直接去對面找他們。 房間也很乾淨整齊，有小廚房微波爐冰箱，落地窗可以看到山景。 早餐有可愛的小飯糰，離開前兩位老闆還出來一起揮手跟我們道別🥰 浴室感覺是外凸的所以比較冷一點，但很乾淨沒有霉味，晚上開進去路比較小要小心，但其實沒什麼問題
• Iping (8/5): - 風景很棒，有小廚房可以烹飪食物非常方便。離開時老闆娘還給我們手作的紫米飯糰很好吃，熱情地到門口送我們離開。 舖在榻榻米上的床墊太薄了，睡得有點痛。
• alon (9/5): - We had a wonderful stay at wakka. The hosts are very kind and welcoming, the room is a great combination of modern and japanese style accomodation with a view to Mount Aso. The room also has a kitchenette with a toaster oven, microwave and other kitchen utensils. We rented a grill and all other neccessary BBQ utencils from the owners for a small price and cooked steaks we had bought in the supermarket. Also the road leading to wakka isnt that bad as long as your car isnt too big. Highly reccomend for anyone wanting a quiet stay away from the city!
• 俊廷 (10/5): 👍👍👍👍 - 民宿夫妻非常熱情友好，詢問問題也很認真回覆。 無
• Zong Da (9/5): 房間非常舒服，還有建議廚房可以使用 風景也很好。 但路程不好開，一定要在天黑之前到旅館比較安全喔 - 房間非常舒服，還有建議廚房可以使用 風景也很好 隔音稍微差一點 路程真的不太好開
• Peony (10/5): - Lovely home and hosts. Easy to access with a small car.

• Nana (10/5): -

• Thaingratree (10/5): It was a truly impressive stay that helped create beautiful memories for this trip. - I’d love to come back again. Highly recommended! The accommodation offers a beautiful view of Mount Aso, with a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. The room was very clean, and the owner was incredibly kind and took great care of us. The accommodation is just a short drive from the town, and the scenery along the way is absolutely beautiful.
• HUIRU (8/5): -
• LI YI (8/5): - 房東非常親切。住宿四周風景、庭院都很漂亮。房間也大小適中，所有備品都很完整，廚房需要的鍋碗瓢盆、刀具、餐具準備的很充分、並且乾淨。床鋪超級舒適，所有佈置都可以體會到房東的用心 自駕開車車子不能過大，我們是7人座，差點開不進去大馬路接小路到民宿。小路有一段距離，周圍荒蕪，路非常小條，ㄧ定要在夜色變暗前抵達民宿，不然會很困難開進去
• YU SAM (10/5): 非常推薦到阿蘇遊玩住這裡！ - 事前民宿主人特地發訊息提地圖及照片，提醒路況；民宿主人介紹環境及設備很清楚，房間內所有一切都非常乾淨，感覺得出來民宿主人是非常愛惜這棟民宿的！周圍都是民宿主人細心照料的植栽，還有可以眺望山下的涼亭！早上退房時還獲得四個民宿主人親手做的飯糰！但是路真的是很小條，不建議開太大的車。 沒有
• Sara (10/5): Comfortable and clean stay with beautiful surrounds - The stay was very comfortable and a lovely property with scenic views. The room was spacious and clean. The hosts made us feel very welcome and we would recommend this stay to anyone in the area! 5 stars!
• ryo (8/5): 天気だけが残念、他は大満足 - 雨だったのが残念だがロケーションは非常に良かった。見える範囲に他の宿はなく、窓を開けて風呂に入っても気にならず、ベンチやハンモックもあり、植えてあるブルーベリーもどうぞ召し上がれとのことだった。夜ば非常に静かだった。 食事がついておらず暗くなると道が不安だったので夕食は持込んだが、深い皿がなかった。キッチンにある備品の写真もあるとありがたい。 トイレは部屋とつながった床だが、スリッパが欲しい。
• NAM HYUK (10/5): -
• Busakorn (10/5): fantastic ;) - everything was amazing especially the view in the morning and the staff!!! they are very kind. they give us an Onigiri in the morning and help to remove dew from our car. I really recommend this place to everyone nothing
• YUN AN (10/5): 很推薦的民宿～不過如果不大會開車的，真的不建議😅因為要進入民宿的路很小，會開到有點懷疑😂但是喜歡幽靜的人很適合，而且晚上可以看到非常多星星，白天看出去的山景也很美 - 可愛的小木屋，親切的民宿老闆及老闆娘，可以用英文溝通～ 晚上抬頭看天空，會看到滿天的星星，非常漂亮🤩 若四個大人住的話，空間會小一點點 而住宿的地點比較偏僻，若要去附近的超市，開車至少要10分鐘才能抵達。 建議吃飽飯再入住～
• kuowjh2 (10/5): -
• Chan (8/5): -
• Florian (10/5): - Die Gastgeber waren ein super liebes und herzliches paar. Zum Abschied haben wir noch Onigir bekommen ❤️ Einfach nur empfehlenswert.
• Salla (10/5): Best accommodation in Japans country side - Best accommodation in our two week vacation! SUPER friendly and helpful owners! Very clean and quiet place in the middle of beautiful nature. You get real Japanese home vibe/feeling there. We felt very welcome there. Only thing to consider when going there is that you can’t drive there with a larger car and you have to have good driving skills because at the end of the road there are narrow places. But the owners gave us good instructions before we arrived and I had checked how to drive there before our arrival. So I would not consider that not liking, just good to know when hiring a car and booking.
• Yolanda (10/5): - The owners are lovely people who attend to one’s wellbeing. Fantastic view of Mt. Aso and a well equipped spacious room
• Miki (9/5): 満足 - 施設が綺麗だった。 食事なし素泊まりの予約だったが、朝早く出発にもかかわらず、おにぎりを持たせてくださった。 タオル歯ブラシも人数分置いてあった。 ミニキッチンはあるが、調味料はない。 トイレにスリッパがない。
• MinHsien (10/5): - 1。民宿老闆人很和氣，check in時老闆種值的藍莓剛好成熟了，還讓我自己採食用，非常有趣 2。check out時老闆用微笑外加超甜西瓜讓我們外帶，真的很感恩 1。強烈建議於天還亮時就抵達民宿位置，因為到民宿的路非常小，我想如果是大型的車子可能會很困難抵達，如果是一般的房車我覺得就沒有問題，停車也很方便，所以基本上也不是什麼大問題。
• Frederic (9/5): Quiet retreat next to Aso with great view - Great view on the Aso mountain including bathroom, super nice and welcoming hosts. Access is a bit challenging with a large car.
• Thomas (10/5): Amazing stay with the best owners on a beautiful property! - Amazing, friendly owners with a spectacular property. Super clean and great location! Great access to mt. aso and the amazing Kyushu region. Can't wait to go back! They are fully transparent about this, but you should have a car, and confident driving abilities. The approach is tight, but doable and gets easier!
• Floor (10/5): Top! - De eigenaren van Wakka waren enorm aardig en vrijgevig, het zijn echt super lieve mensen. De kamer was erg comfortabel en had alles wat je nodig had. Ook waren de bedden heel comfortabel. Ook was het keukentje erg fijn en praktisch.
• HUI MIN (9/5): - 経営者夫婦の温かいおもてなしを頂き大変お世話になりました。到着時刻の変更も迅速な対応して頂き、こちらは安心してゆっくり観光できました! 宿への最後の小道がGoogle mapでも正確に道案内できないほど判りにくいです。小道の脇に案内板があれば助かりますmm
• Markéta (10/5): We had exceptional stay at Wakka. The rooms were super cosy and clean and the hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpfu -
• Tan Ee Ling (8/5): -
• CHIE (9/5): - 奥さんのお気遣いがとてもありがたかったです。 バスタブがあれば尚良しになると思います。
• Kirk (10/5): -
• Taesik (10/5): Great view at reasonable price. - Great view at reasonable price. Very kind hosts and well maintained facility. You may find it rather hard to find the right route to reach there if you’re not accustomed to Japanese rural narrow roads, but it’s definitely worth the try.
• Lidia (9/5): - Sehr schöne Umgebung, super Aussicht Einfahrt zur Haus ist eng, man muss vorsichtig fahren
• HSIANGHUI (10/5): 空氣清晰，可以去附近超市買回來自煮。很棒 - 小小房間，五藏俱全
• SUSUMU (7/5): まー、自然が好きなら良いかと。都会派の人にはお勧めできません。 - 自然の中で過ごせる。朝日を浴び、鳥の鳴き声で目覚めることができる。 流石に3人でも狭い。昭和の民宿って感じ。
• Jae Hee (10/5): 완전 만족 - 숲속 휴양림 같은곳 입니다 방이 편백나무로 되어 있어서 편백향이 솔솔 나고 아주 편안하곳으로 강추 입니다. 시골이라 주변은 매우 조용하고 평온합니다 랜트카없으면 가기 힘들지만 자동차가 있다면 반드시 들리세요
• Sven (10/5): -
• Fu (10/5): - 廚房方便，夫婦兩人很和善，剛好在當季有藍莓樹可以採，早上也有好吃的飯糰
• SHAO SHENG-LUNG (9/5): -
• ching-i (7/5): -
• Yuko (10/5): -
• CHUNHSIUNG (10/5): 我們入住的日期是2025/08/10，當天剛好熊本強降雨，我們的行動電話都一直響起警告訊息，要嚴防第土石流。當天我們到的時候，雨勢稍歇；但後續晚上暴雨還打雷😂，房東夫婦都還跟我們住在旁邊。到了早上，其實都還一直下雨，房東還幫 - 環境清幽、設施都還蠻新的，可以有自己使用的小廚房，一進門就有檜木的香味，房東把房間打掃得一塵不染。 我沒有不滿意的。
• Nicolas (10/5): An authentic japanese countryside experience in the beautiful nature of Aso - We loved our stay in Wakka. We stayed for 3 nights and had a wonderful time. It is well located in the south part of Aso's caldeira and a good spot to explore the area if you have a car. Despite being quite deeply hidden in the nature of Aso, Wakka was quite easy to find. Instructions send ahead to find the route were clear, there was little signs showing the way and the Google Maps location was correct. The room was clean, the bed confortable and with a little terrace to go with it! The hosts were very nice and even offered us a snack for the road after check-out! If you want a very peaceful and authentic experience of Aso, surrounded by trees, i recommend you stay at Wakka!!!
• Jaramie (10/5): Cosy place with amazing view - Lovely little apartment, with an amazing view. Really cosy and the host is very kind.
• Soz (10/5): Lovely chalet in the nature and near tourist attractions. - Peaceful cottage in nature, everything you need in the house. The bed was not very comfortable, maybe tatami would have been better.
• Cheuk (10/5): A Beautiful Japanese Cottage - As beautiful as illustrated in the photo. It includes a double bed and two single futons. The host was nice and friendly. The room might feel a bit too tight to comfortably open four 23 kg suitcases at the same time. Dinner options in the area is limited and could be a bit tricky to find out the opening hours (Google Map might not provide reliable information for some restaurants)
• Wei (9/5): Overall good value for money! - Host is very nice and friendly. Kind to provide us a farewell snack thats handmade. While the place is not huge for 4 pax, it is sufficient. Everything we need is there! The path into the accoms is quite narrow, but all is good if you are careful.
• Cheng (9/5): Superb -
• Janis (8/5): A good stay in Wakka because it is situated in lovely outskirt location. - The place is situated in a beautiful serene environment. I was happy the bath was elderly friendly as I was travelling with my 90 yr old mother and the couple running the Airbnb are very friendly. . To stay in Wakka, you must have your own transport as it is quite deep in and roads leading in are not lighted.
• Darmadi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Saknarong (8/5): Very good -
• Krystle (10/5): I loved it. It was cozy and quiet night away in nature! - Bathroom, cleanliness of room, kitchen, heater The bed was a little too soft (sunken), I would’ve preferred to have slept on a mattress with the futon like the traditional Japanese style
• Anchisa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Minkyu (9/5): Superb -
• Jia (10/5): Perfect peaceful homestay for country lovers and lovely host. - Perfect location, I loved waking up to sights of mountains, valleys and pine trees. This place is really quiet and peaceful. There are benches in the estate as well where we could enjoy breakfast. The room was well equipped with heater for the cold. The beds were super comfortable and the toilet very clean. Kitchenette was also well equipped with all that we need. The host was so kind to us by giving us a lift to the nearest train station everyday, because I forgot to bring my IDP and didnt manage to rent a car. They were so kind and friendly to us and i would really love to go back there again. My favorite stay during my holiday in Kyushu.
• Sayuri (9/5): Superb -
• Nicole (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful mountain view, close to nature, nice owners.
• May (10/5): I love this place - Beautiful place with fantastic scenery. Beds, including the futon beds, are comfortable and mini kitchen is well equipped. Love the bath tub Owners are very friendly and welcoming. They even sent a note ahead of our arrival with their contact number in case we needed help finding the place. The road leading to Wakka is a single narrow lane for 2 way traffic and no lighting. Abit dangerous for people who've not been here before especially after dark.
• Tin (8/5): Short and pleasant stay at Aso. - Nice place away from the town. Very quite and peaceful location. Owner of the place was very nice. None
• Kai (8/5): Overall cozy stay! - We enjoyed the cozy wooden interior of the cabin and lovely views. Room was clean and owners were very friendly. Owner could have messaged us in advance to check if we would like breakfast. We went expecting to request for breakfast for the next day, but realised that we needed to reserve 5 days earlier.
• Steven (9/5): Little Gem up the hill with views of Aso - Host is very nice and kind. Very clean and comfortable. Wifi is great. Beautiful view of Mt Aso
• Jc_erskine (10/5): Exceptional - A cozy place to stay with a fantastic view of Mt. Aso right from the room. The hosts are wonderful. The room is spacious and clean, equipped with a microwave, stove, and some dishes and cups. Bring your favorite coffee to enjoy a morning sip on the small balcony with a beautiful view—such a memorable experience.
• 欣誼 (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nga (9/5): Superb - The room is very spacious and clean, feeling at home and the bed is very comfortable Have to reach the location before night
• Yen (10/5): It was incredible, worth every penny - The woody feel and smell of the cottage, the nature, the serene of the surroundings
• Hisashi (10/5): Affordable stay to feel nature around Minami Aso village - Very friendly couple running the lodge. Great view of Aso mountain range and clean facility. Summer stay gave us a glimpse of blueberry picking experience. Onigiri as gift was very tasty. Could use a small TV
• Glory (9/5): Superb - The room comes with toilet, bathroom, kitchenette, microwave, toaster n fridge. In the morning there is a nice view! Host gave us onigiri to take away
• Joakim (10/5): Warmly recommend this place - We loved this place, very clean and new (we stayed in the little house with two adjacent rooms). Great views from the rooms. Little nice garden outside. Very kind hosts who provided us with rice balls for our trip when we left. Road to house is small and narrow but no problem for our medium sized car. Nothing really.
• Natalie (9/5): Great Accommodation - The room is spacious and very clean, it is overlooking the mountain. The bath tub in the bathroom is big and we like the tatami floor. It has a small kitchen if you need to heat up something. The location is very serene and the host and hostess are very friendly. The air-condition is placed right above our head so it is blowing on your head all night. We had to move the mattress off the bed so we could sleep comfortably. If you do not mind with the AC blowing on your head then it is fine.
• Adrian (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gina (10/5): Lovely cottage with mountain view hosted by friendly couple - We loved our stay at Wakka! We were greeted by the friendly couple and Akira the cat :) Even though we were early we could check in. The house was beautiful and cozy with lovely big windows to the mountains. It was super clean and well planned, so we could easily stay four people. The kind hostess gave us tips about nearby supermarket, so we coule buy food and eat at the outdor table :) When we left we were offerer homemade onigiri! We had a great time and would definitely stay again!
• Pei-yu (10/5): We enjoyed the stay. It is a cute and stylish place. The breakfast is very impressive. All house-made! Better than some - The breakfast (additional charge of 1200 yen per person) was so good and beats our expectation. You must have it if you are visiting. Need to send a message to them few days in advance to book it. The room spacy with great view! Has a small kitchen, microwave and small refrigerator in the room. The little road into the house is really narrow and with some barriers, as all said. Must drive a small car and very cautious when driving in.
• Teng (10/5): All my friends love wakka - Beautiful view. Nice host. Everything we needed is in the cabin. Lots of parking space. I have the best sleep of my kyushu trip. Nothing
• Hiromi (10/5): Lovely accomodation - We loved our stay at Wakka! The inn is located in such a picturesque setting, surrounded by beautiful mountains. The couple who owns the place are so lovely too. They gave us some sweet potato dish to take when we checked out. Highly recommended!
• Ah (10/5): Exceptional -
• Wing (10/5): You won't regret staying at Wakka! I would love to visit again as well! - Stunning view from the room! It was -3°C when I woke up at 7:30am, so cold and I decided to go back to sleep... but when I drew the curtain and looked outside, the scenery was amazing that I immediately grabbed my coat and gloves to take some pictures outside. The room itself was spacious if you're only traveling with your partner, it would be packed if you're a group of 3 to 4. Very clean and cozy. Everyone mentioned the breakfast so we ordered it too! Self-grown vegetables, homemade jam and yogurt... even the honey was from their own beebox! So healthy and natural food... We were truly amazed. We think the path to Wakka was not that narrow or dangerous, my boyfriend drove there without any problems. But as we checked-in at 7:30pm, there weren't too many dinner options nearby. We ended up getting instant food from 7-11 and Lawson and had simple dinner in our room. It was okay for one night. But if you're staying for more than one night, do prepare your dinner.
• Sui-yee (10/5): Great host. Great property. - The host was really friendly and welcoming. The property surrounds by beautiful scenery - exceeded our expectation! Very very happy with our stay. Would love to stay there again if we go to Aso area next time. Nothing. All good!
• Eliza (10/5): The room is equipped with what is needed for a traveller. The view of the back room is overlooking the Mount. Hence, you - Very comfortable and you are able to relax from your long drive.
• Assunta (9/5): Superb - It was very peaceful with a wonderful view of Mount Aso. At night, you can enjoy lots of stars. The couple is very nice and caring with the supply of night light, tea, coffee or chocolate powder to make hot drinks, and remove all those ice on the car window, etc. They also provided us with detailed map and photos on how to drive to Wakka. Even though we did not order breakfast, they make us rice dumplings when we check out which is very nice of them. The road to Wakka is really narrow.
• Pany (9/5): Superb -
